    I wish I had not read that. I might be suckered into buying keys again someday. (btw: DONT BUY THE KEYS, waste of money, etc)

    1. Load TF2
    2. Go to keyboard/mouse Options and enable Console Commands
    3. If the console doesn't come up immediately the press ` or ~ (above the tab button)
    4. Type in "exec 360controller"

    This works for most source engine games.

    This will automatically unlock and configure your controller's buttons to work with Steam, just as if you were playing on a 360.

    This will also work for other controllers as well, but you'll need xpadder to map your controller to a 360 pad's button configuration.

    Don't worry about what others think, I use a 360 controller and I can hand zombies their asses on a silver platter with the best of 'em.

    Or you can trade a key from someone who has it.

    I knew about the name change with kills part, just wasn't sure if they were new.
    How do they stack up trade wise? I don't see myself getting many kills with a Targe

    Register? With Steam? That's a new one. My brother just signed up yesterday.

    Also: New players are really bad. Please don't be as silly as this guy.

    True, although I remember the price of keys were pretty high. It wouldnt take too long for me to burn through all my supplies of refined metal.

    I highly doubt I'll be as bad as that guy. :lol  But it's been a LONG time since I played an FPS on a computer, so...yeah, I might be a little rusty.

    What... exactly was he trying to do? (I'm guessing he thought you could shoot through the fence?
    And yes, a lot of the new players are bad right now.
    I should have saved the replay, but I had something like 30 kills with a single Sentry on Dustbowl, by putting it in that little entrance at the top of the first control point (on the tracks) How else do I know most of the server was new?
    My ENTIRE team got the one achievement for round of Dustbowl without a capture.

    I've also people baskstab a Heavy with YER, while the Heavy's being healed, and the enemy Medic just keeps on healing them. (and massive, 40-50 killstreaks with YER and Spawncamping, as there is no Spy-checks going on)
    I know I'm far from good at these games, but these can just be funny...

    I downloaded it twice, both times the graphics were screwed up. I really wish I could play this though :(

    Oh man, some of the new players are awful. Not to say I'm much better, but when I can top every server by playing Medic and not healing anyone, there is a bit of a problem.

    That's damn near impossible for me with all of the W + M1 Pyro going on. I can't really rock the Dead Ringer.

    RhinoxDX is my steam ID. I usually play TF2 an hour or so a day.

    I'm loving the new players, my kill streaks have never been higher. My favorite game to play with them is on doublecross. I'll rocketjump onto the roof of the opposing side's battlement, wait for their snipers to stick their heads out and pop em. Then, just to have fun, I throw out "sniper no sniping!" in allchat and watch their heads explode in anger.

    Ah, good times.

    Does anybody want a Dueling Mini-game or Muskelmannbraun? I know I'm never using either.

    I'd take that muskelmannbraun off your hands. Are you looking for anything in particular for it?

    I'd gladly take any of the Uber Update weapons, but I still need a Your Eternal Reward and an Ubersaw, so those would work too.

    oh, we're doing trades in this thread too?
    TF2 Backpack - paladinvance
    Basically, 1st page is Vintage, Strange, paints, tools, hats and metal, next 3 pages are Primary, Secondary, and Melee weapons, 5th page is stuff I'd rather not trade, or am using (altough the PvZ hats are kinda meh) 6th page is either outright untradeable (achievement items, and I bought the YER, cause I'm dumb:dunce ), or stuff that I've named, or am saving (the Violet paint)

    Right now, just looking for
    Shooter's Sola Topi
    or the other two Saharan Spy items
