Community-created merch on WeLoveFine.com!

September 9, 2014 Dekky 0 Comments announcement, blog

Gentlemen, it’s time for an update. You may recall the announcement approximately one month ago. It constituted a call to arms, as ’twere, for TF2 fans to design new merchandise. Now there’s another announcement! The first batch of community-created merch items is now ready for sale on welovefine.com. Below is a screenshot of the TF2-dedicated portion of this site. Valve has been selling stuff here already, as well as on the Valve Store. It’s the same website where the recently created ‘Mini-Mercs’ are showcased. For more info on those cute models, check out their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/TeamFortress2?fref=ts So far… [Continue Reading]

The Ghetto International: A Preview of the I52 LAN Event.

August 9, 2014 Xcam901 0 Comments 6v6, announcement

There are less than three weeks until the largest LAN competition Team Fortress 2 has ever had, and likely will ever have. For the past three months the focus of almost every top-level team in the world has been to prepare for I52, the one and only competition where the egotistical patriots, baguette eaters, tea drinkers, kangaroos and the occasional moose can face off at a LAN event. Epsilon Esports, Awsomniacs, Froyotech, Classic Mixup, Team Immunity, Fenneks and a wealth of lesser known European teams are all heading to Coventry, United Kingdom for Team Fortress’s own international. The History… [Continue Reading]

The 400th Article, now with added prizes!

July 21, 2014 Medic 0 Comments announcement, history, milestone, SPUF

“So what do you have planned for this 400th article?” Since this is our 400th article, let’s have a look at some random stuff! There’s also a contest further down, so don’t go away! As of writing, we have had over 100,000 views, with over 100 comments. Not a lot of comments, but comments aren’t that great anyway. Most people comment in our SPUF thread instead. Most views in one day was 852, on the 28th of April 2014. The article published that day was “Demoknight, thou shalt not increase thy turn radius” by Aabicus. Most referrals to this site come… [Continue Reading]

Subclass Birthday Bash Results!

June 18, 2014 aabicus 0 Comments 6v6, announcement, event, recap, SPUF

Danthefinn’s Birthday Bash is over, and boy was that fun! I got to play Battle Medic on some hilariously kooky maps, and to my amazement, I found that I really liked the Syringe Gun. It’s actually a lot better then I thought at stacking up the damage if you just aim intelligently and know how to lead (and I think all that pulse-rifling in Loadout is what subconsciously prepared me for it). As someone who dropped a crossbow within minutes of playing TF2 and never looked back, this was quite a shock to discover. But enough of that, you just… [Continue Reading]

Tick Tock.

June 17, 2014 Medic 0 Comments announcement, hype, update

Click naow. Admittedly, I don’t know what this is, since I’ll probably be asleep. What will it be? Bread? Trains? Moons? Moon bases? Train breads? Bread moon trains? Who knows? Either way, it’s a countdown and we’re all hyped! Here’s a few things to think about as this timer counts down: What is it? Will it be good? How many bugs will this possibly introduce? How many threads will there be on SPUF? New weapons? New game mode? Is Team Fortress Classic related to this? Bread?

That new Valve blog post.

June 14, 2014 Medic 1 Comment analysis, announcement, criticism, update

Since we get incredibly long gaps between blog posts, I can still call the recent one about bad weapon ideas new and still be fairly punctual even if the blog post was released a month ago. I suppose we should be thankful about getting a blog post at all, considering what Dota 2 has had recently… Anyway, spite aside, the blog post itself is fairly interesting. It’s nice to see that there’s someone in that office, possibly talking to another person about adding weapons for Team Fortress 2. Then again, I might be completely wrong and there’s just one person… [Continue Reading]

Birthday/500th Post/3-Star SPUF Event: Stupid Class, Stupid map, 6v6 Tournament!

June 13, 2014 danthefinn 0 Comments 6v6, announcement, event, fun, loadout, maps, SPUF

Well hello, fine ladies and gentlemen of SPUF! My name is danthefinn (DiabetoDan on Steam) and I’ve been lurking around these parts since 2012. To celebrate my upcoming 18th birthday, as well as my 500th post and 3-star status, I’m hosting a little event on my very own TF2 server at 1 PM EST on June 16th. This will be a 6v6 tournament- but nothing like the 6v6 you all know and (at least some of you) love. This tournament will played over a series of 5 maps, with a best of 3 win rule. These maps will be the… [Continue Reading]

TF2 To recieve new parachute

June 9, 2014 aabicus 0 Comments announcement, balance, soldier, SPUF, weapon

No, not a golden parachute. Though now that I’ve made the connection somebody will probably make a SPUF thread wailing “Could this be a sign Valve’s gonna retire TF2???” Well, they’re probably wrong, because this new blog post is pretty awesome and hinting at future content. Valve takes a bit of time to talk about some weapon ideas that were scrapped, and leaves us with a teaser regarding a potential new Soldier secondary in the works. I don’t personally understand why everyone is leaping on the assumption that it’s literally just a parachute with obvious parachute stats (slower falling speed,… [Continue Reading]

The Future No More

May 17, 2014 thesupremecommander 0 Comments announcement, SPUF, SPUFserver

To all stakeholders of the SPUFserver: It is with solemn regret that I must announce the indefinite suspension of operations for the SPUFserver, effective May 18th, 2014. For a while now, it has been apparent that the SPUFserver has not been receiving any significant traffic outside of specially organized events, and even that traffic has been minimal with waning community participation. Even with the cost optimizations that we have performed, server administration is still not a cheap venture, and there is no justification for keeping up a server which is not seeing any use. Thus, I have come to the… [Continue Reading]

SPUF Server Going Away Party

May 12, 2014 John Caveson 0 Comments announcement, fun, SPUF

As some of you may know, the SPUFserver is shutting down in a week. And so, I’ll be hosting a go-away party so the server will have one last hurrah before dying off 4ever. This is not a formal event. There will be no custom maps, no special plugins, just plain old vanilla TF2*. The goal is to keep the server as full as we can for as long as we can. Because this is no ordinary event, I plan on having it all day. Which means, I (or some other mod/admin) will be pumping out event notifications periodically throughout… [Continue Reading]
