I drifted away from the MT group, mostly because it seemed like everyone there only wanted to play MvM (Mann-vs-Machine) mode. I much prefer the traditional game modes like Payload and Capture the Flag.

I havent been playin in ages, because life... I really want to get back into the swing of playing again...

I can understand why. But it did get repetitive.

I had you on my friends list but not any more, whats your handle?

If you ever want a partner or a challenge you can hit me up for a game.

Edit: Just looked at the group page, the last time we played MvM on my server was August 2012. Scary how fast time has passed.

Joe, are you in NYC now?

If you ain't playing CP it's because you're bad.

how do I get in on these MT games? I do prefer the traditional modes though...

I just add people from the mt.net group to my friends list and it tells me if they are in a game in the lower right pop-up. I then try to join that game but using the drop-down menu next to their name. Been awhile since I've played.

Bringing this back to the top.

How many people would be interested in me getting a tf2 server up and running? Would most likely be hosted in Europe, as I am not sure if my home connection can handle it.

Me me me me me me!

32 player minimum IMO

32 people is a given. I will not be running whatever pony mods joe wants, he will just have to deal with it.

Let me do some research on what it would take to get it back up and running. Any interest on getting a ventrilo server up also, or is in game mic talking good enough?

In game mic seems fine, unless everyone starts playing more games & create more channels.

Why Europe?

I may be in for that. I'm about tired of quality time with the family today.

In game mic is fine with me.

Oh snap. I'm definitely in but European based server would suck balls.

Because that is where my VPS lives with a 1000/1000 network pipe verse my home connection which is 50/15.

Do you have an IP I can ping?

Would it be a Private or Public server?

mkturbo.com is where it would be hosted. 73.131.91.13 is my home ip. I just don't know if I can handle a 32 person server on a 15mb up pipe.

When I was hosting servers years ago I was on FIOS and had 100/100 at my house.

I am going to the store to buy a mic. I have been playing for the last hour and having a blast.

I get about 155 on mkturbo.com

Just played for an hour or so of TF2, reminds me of the old days of TFC while playing ctf_2fort :D

166ms from Arizona. Kinda shitty. Was hoping for sub 100ms.

Try hosting in the states first and if that fails, then try the other one would be my suggestion.

105-115 to MKTURBO.COM from NYC on FiOS. No response from 73.131.91.13.


TF2 servers are not bandwidth-intensive. From what I've read, 1 to 1.5 Mb/s symmetrical is perfectly adequate for a 32 player host. By comparison, latency is hugely important, and 100-150ms is a no-go.


That being said, starting a new TF2 server and getting it populated on a regular basis isn't easy. After the demise of PF2, a new server (FiG) popped up with the intent of absorbing the former PF2 community. Despite significant marketing (both on the forums and via word of mouth), the server is failing miserably. PF2 used to be full damn near 100% of the time at peak hours. FiG, as I write this, has two players on it. And they're derping.

See there we go. I've downloaded the game again so I'm all set. Also holy shit there are a lot of items now...

Anyways, throw up the server in the U.S. and we'll have to set up some times to play, see what happens.

Ready to play TF2 when you guys are :likecat:

Steam id?

Put in some playtime tonight on the NoHeroes servers which hi_im_sean recommended.

No Heroes Stats - Team Fortress 2

They're pretty good. Got a whole bunch of servers and they're usually well-loaded. I played on Payload Rotation and Badwater / Goldrush. Lots of skilled players, relatively little BS. Only had one hacker-whiner, and he was silenced promptly. One of the servers got a little stacked at one point, but it was nice to not just rocket immediately to the top of the scoreboard for a change. Good voicechat, good team coordination.

I recommend these servers.

Is there a MiataTurbo group on Steam already?



EDIT: The answer is yes after a quick search... lol.

Best TF video i've ever seen. Very touching.

Sooo where is everyone. @Arca_ex and I have been battling the machines 3-4 nights a week. step it up guys.

Would be cool if we could actually get a good skilled team of 6 for MvM. We would like to play the more challenging rounds on advanced level, but there are too many noob idiots flooding the mvm servers, its rare we get anything resembling a decent team.

I need to play more & stop going to the bar spending money :burncash:

An when you are on youre always playing CSS! im going to start bugging you if aaron and I have a game going.

I will start leaving steam open. Feel free to send me a message if you guys want to play. Or if I have a set time to get on for MvM that is a better way for me to plan to get one.

add me, steam id: hi_im_sean

we almost always start playing at 8pm ish, mountain time

Do eeet, :party:

And yea, I'm a CS elitist. I have to hit rank3 in CS:GO so I can play private servers with my old cal-m buddies. :likecat:

Im surprised that thats 3 of us that used to play in CAL. Although I only played DODS.

I still need to find one of my old mics or buy a new one. Im waiting on aaron to yell at me again for not having one. The need increases exponentially with difficulty level in MvM.

:hatecat: :hatecat: :hatecat:



Would be sweet if we could find 6 people total so we don't have to deal with fucktards.

Aaron and i will be playing tonight starting at 8 to 830 ish mountain time. Both of our steam ids are the same as our usernames. Be there!

Getting on right meow.

@Girz0r we're on right meow. Fair warning.

Tonight, tonight I will join you guys :yippee:

I'll be on early 6-7CST so 5-6 for you two

I have my PC hooked back up and ready to game, you bros should see me on a lot more in the evening :bigtu:

Sean and I have been playing a lot of World of Tanks lately.

Never played that one.

I hear if you pay to play you can dominate in that game?

I might be vegging out on GW2 since my chair situation is less than ideal. #minichair

Neither of us have payed into the game at all and we do just fine. It matches you against similar tanks it doesn't really matter if the person earned them or paid for them. Their crew might have a bit better training but you can get there over time as well.

I'll DL and check it out foshurrr :bigtu:


ATM, this is still going on...... :jerkit: Taking foreverrrrrr.

I'm sorry to hear that. WOT used to be fun but the gold rounds ruined it for good.

Over probably a hundred of matches I've only encountered people using gold rounds a handful of times. Maybe the issue was bad when they first released them but like I said I've been doing just fine in the game and haven't spent a dime.

Theres mods that show you if you're getting fired with gold rounds. When you get to high tiers it's spam gold to win. Just about every top player spams gold rounds. Hell when i was done with the game i decided to shoot nothing but gold rounds with my remaining 2 mill. In those 2 weeks i had same stats as the top players.
