The final reveal leading up to the launch of Team Fortress 2′s co-op vs homicidal robots mode, Mann vs Machine, gives us a glimpse at a clockwork armful of new achievements, and details how you’ll be able to earn some epic, new cosmetic items. For a small fee. The big reveal here is the new “Mann Up Mode,” which will pit you against the mechanical hordes on an “Official Mann Co.” server with a chance to earn the new rewards, which largely seem to run along the theme of strapping broken robot parts to yourself and your guns. To be eligible for these (cosmetic only) drops, you’ll need to buy Tour of Duty tickets for 99 cents each. Each ticket will allow you to complete a mission toward completing a Tour of Duty badge: a new item that levels up with you and grants you a random rare every time you level it up. Each level of your Tour of Duty badge will require you to complete a set of fixed MvM missions, at the cost of one ticket each. Tickets are only expended on a victory, so succumbing to horrible, metal death won’t “eat your quarters” like the arcade games of yore. Also available for $2 are Squad Surplus Vouchers, expended at the end of any given (successful) mission in MvM that give everyone on your team an item drop. If you’re rolling with a full team of six that each bought one, you’re all getting six drops if you win. All of this aside, Mann Up mode can be completely ignored. You can still play MvM on non-Mann Co. servers and earn random drops over time, just like in TF2′s competitive modes. All you’ll be missing out on are chances at the new cosmetic gear and leveling up your Tour of Duty badge. You can read more in the official FAQ. We’re still sorely lacking in an ETA for Mann vs Machine beyond “Today,” so keep an eye out. The machines should be marching soon, and we plan to meet them. With bullets. |
Wow thats getting expensive...

So here's the dealio. The server update is huge and the pipe is slow. I am leaving it on over night, going to work, and remoting into my server in the morning to flip it on for you guys.
What I need to know is what map rotation you guys prefer AND if you prefer I lock the server to only rotate MvM maps for the time being? Good night fellas. |
MvM only please.
I may be on tomorrow with any luck. Got screwed by random Steam outages. |
How do we get into that server?
|
soooo awesome.
|
Server is up and running. Go try it out and let me know if it works. I am at work so I cant test it.
Server Info: Address: 96.224.232.32:27015 PW: mtnet Map rotation is set to MvM maps only, 35 minutes or 5 wins will rotate the map. Can be entered either through the steam client in the favorites tab or console. Hopefully people wont somehow magically find this thread and trash the server. This should be used exclusively by MT members. If I find people who do not belong I will have to add authentication to only allow MT member users. |

I'm game to play tonight, lets wreck some robots.
|
Server seems to be working. Jeff Man and some other person were on it earlier. Not sure if the person was from here. I will wait for him to check in with the outcome of that match. Monitoring the console I was under the impression they could not start the game until the room was full. I could be wrong though.
Otherwise, how about tonight at 10? |
Works for me as it'll be 9pm central time.
|
I was on there with you. I've already played a few rounds in this and finished it once. but damn it can be frustrating when your team is bad.
|
So, 7pm PST?

We can either fuck with MvM or if we get a big crowd we'll play PvP. I have been collecting all kinds of commands and stuff for modding the server, so hopefully we wont have any issues. |
Had an opportunity to join a MvM game.
All I have to say is holy fuck, that was FUN. That's the most fun I've had in TF2 I think! I may end up buying a few of the steam store ticket things for it just to show support for how much I like this co-op. |

Server shows 24/24. It's counting bots as players. You may need to set maxplayer 32 as when I made a server I freaked out till I did that.
|
I'm there (almost)
|
DISCONNECTED!!?!!?!??!
l |
So, we need 6, otherwise MvM is a total waste of time.

So yah... slaughter house. Those bots are brutal and anything less than 6 working together is disaster.
|
The first time I played the bowmen absolutely destroyed us all. I think everyone that was playing it was their first time. But its so much fun.

--------------- Otherwise, I agree. Its ridiculous with anything less than 6. It is most noticeable when fighting a tank. Less than 6 MAYBE 5 and you cannot destroy the tank before it reaches the bomb site. Maybe because we were getting hammered so hard and it was the first time, but I think PvP is more interesting at the moment. The only reason I want to keep playing is to actually finish a round. I was upset when the server bugged needing a restart and then lagged for no apparent reason. I also couldn't figure out why console reported maxplayers 32 when the server started but steam reported 24. After entering rcon maxplayers I got 24 but sending rcon maxplayers 32 would give an error saying "maxplayers cannot be changed when server is started". Then after doing it 10 times it took it and increased it to 32. Aside from that I think it performed well. |
Viva la anti-tf2!!!
:inout::party: |
Valve pushed a server update. Whose up for a game tonight?
|
I'm good for a few games tonight.
|
If we can get 6, I'm down.
|
how about starting in 15-20 mins.
|
"The steam servers are currently too busy to handle your request."
I don't know if Steam agrees with your proposal, Red. |
I'm game to play if i can get steam to connect, having issues atm.
Get to test out my new not that special mouse. Hoping I can stop getting sudden fits of looking up/down. |
The TF2 servers are being raped right now, Friday after a major patch = GFG.
|
So lets do it at 10PM.
I will be online, if you encounter connectivity issues let me know. |

Anyways, in game/on Sam's server. |
was able to connect to saml's server with no issues
|
was fun, 2 games of MvM with wins not a bad couple games.
|
I am reinstalling tf2 now. Hopefully sometime this weekend I can get on and play with you guys.
|
If we had 6 instead of 4... we could have finished that second map wave 8. Bah.

I also identified why the server was reporting 24 available slots to steam clients while displaying 32 slots in the console. There is a line in the server.cfg file that specifically controls how many slots are reported to steam. I have also slightly increased the bandwidth available to clients. Might give a smoother experience. Took it from 20kbps to 100kbps. I wish there was more info available on this stuff. Thanks for being patient. |
I didn't know that every time the map is cleared it loads the next with more / harder waves.
Now I know why I think it's to easy when I keep playing 6/6 then getting bored. |
I am up for some gaming if anyone is interested?
|
I think there is a higher probability of playing tomorrow night. People normally don't go out late at night because they work the next day.
I think 10 PM EST has been working really well for this group. |

Sam's server is fail/not up right now.
And tickets only work on the official Valve servers, Jeff. |

I have a felling that my $1 ticket will never get redeemed for a win.
Looks like mann up mode is significantly harder by design, on a non mann up server you can do 6 waves with 4/5 people. In mann up you need 6 and if you get less them like a B/C on any waves you are very gimped. To bad you can only play mann up on Valve servers =( |

Damn good MvM guys! :makeout:

Once my Comcast internet stops dropping on me, I'm game for more.
