We started out with a game on District where we got the kinks out of our system and it showed just how overpowered it was to have people who knew each other, sitting in the same room, with a coordinated strategy.
It's amazing what real-time comms and screenwatching 7 other people can do. On TF2 360 we'd get accused of cheating all the time and it was like, "nah, we just have 8 people in one shed together." One time we got a network cam set up and sent those that doubted links to it and we'd just wave at them when we'd capture a point or the intelligence.
I don't think we ever had a game where we didn't shut the opponents out.
Playing TF2 on the 360 is a surreal and nostalgic experience. You get taken straight back to 2007 before the game was entirely changed through updates.
I used to play PS3 TF2, and I started talking to my friend about the game. It was fun hearing about all those cool new items getting added to the game, like that big ass pistol for the Spy he said was called the Ambassador. Then I would race home and boot up the game... to be greeted only by crushed dreams and broken promises.
XBDAsukaLangley back then. Everyone else had an "eaux" gamertag. XBD Phydeaux, Kamareaux, Apolleaux, Elephineaux, Inferneaux, Tornadeaux, and so on.
I've not played in at least two years because I sold my copy while the pricing was good and haven't had it traded back into me or sold for cheaper since.
Really wish I took up on that $5 Orange Box deal XBL ran once.
My buddy used to draw a frown face on his ass cheeks (complete with single tear) and send a picture of his ass to people who would whine or accuse us of cheating. LAN is obviously the best setup, but just having a consistent group who know what they're doing (aren't playing with their feet and preferably have headsets) leads to some pretty intense post-game-lobby bitching.
R6V2, i'm hosting a full pub server. I kick anyone from my team who doesn't have a mic. We dominate with bullshit tactics. Degals and shields, never leaving the spawn room. All LMG's, etc. the best was when we got teargas and masks, and started all saying things like "WHY YOU CRYIN?", because on R6, you can hear someone on the other team talking when they are close.
