Mod Showcase: Project Ghost

brickinator 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , ,

Welcome back to Mod Showcase. Brickinator again, here to chat about Project Ghost, a fairly new mod gamemode that’s part of the TF2 Tightrope community. Project Ghost draws many parallels with ghost-hunting TV shows; there’s lots of people in a cramped area, constant screaming and a complete lack of ghosts. Why the hell they chose the name ‘Project Ghost’ is beyond me. In fact, I haven’t got a ghost of a clue why they chose it! Comedy gold. Project Ghost is a plugin for Arena mode. Remember Arena mode? Me neither. At the start of each new round, the game… [Continue Reading]

Happy birthday, Team Fortress!

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Today, Team Fortress celebrates its 18th birthday! Now it can go out and drink and drive and all that… Depending on what country or state you’re in. Let’s hope that Team Fortress doesn’t overdo it and find itself at a police station or hospital. Anyway, happy birthday, Team Fortress! Hope you make it to the grand old age of 20! For fun, why not email the TF2 team and wish them a happy birthday in (virtual) person? Click here and send them a message! Try not to mention any bugs though. If you want to do that, send them a… [Continue Reading]

Finally, TF2 has gone mobile!

Varun_5 2 Comments , , , ,

Howdy guys! My name is Varun Iyer, and I’d like to share with you guys a mobile app that I specifically designed for TF2 Players. Well, first of all I’d like to say that this was a project I started recently because I noticed that TF2 wasn’t going mobile. Specifically, features that many people use, such as trading, viewing their backpack, and price-lists for buying and selling items wasn’t available on mobile devices. People had to rely on their, bulky, fat (no offense) laptops to simply know whether they got the widowmaker they were trading for. Well, I can tell… [Continue Reading]

“I AM BULLETPROOF!!”

Dekky 0 Comments , , , ,

Misha the Heavy Weapons Guy gets a lot of bad press. Especially on this blog. I’ve seen articles trashing him and saying he’s failed as a class in TF2. They point out that, compared to classes like the Soldier, he has less weapons to choose from and few reliable ways to cover his main weakness, lack of speed. They say he’s boring to play and requires almost no skill. Poor Heavy has been hit hard by such critics. But slow down, all you Jarate-throwing Huntsman Snipers! No class in this game is a “failure.” The point of Team Fortress 2… [Continue Reading]

“L’ingénieur est un espion!”

Dekky 1 Comment , , , ,

Don’t turn invisible and think you’re invincible: they’re completely different words. Don’t go running after the person you’re disguised as. Don’t try to backstab somebody in the front or while surrounded by a dozen other enemies. Don’t kill an Engineer if he has an operational Sentry nearby. Don’t think you can replace a Heavy and destroy the other team with L’étranger. Basic advice for budding Spies, wouldn’t you think? But like that Sniper who tries to shoot through glass, there doesn’t seem any end to the ignorance of newbie Spies. Now if you’re new to TF2 and you like the… [Continue Reading]
