The team fortress 2 thread

I like vent, but Skype is also pretty good for being free. It works pretty well if you don't have problems with background noise. I used to do 5 people on one call for arena in WoW.

Also my steam account name is "thehumbug". I'm not really active right now, but I do jump in on matches if I see people playing.

Skype is cool for being free, but it disconnects a LOT. Not really something we want to happen in the middle of a match, constantly.

Weird. I got to 2000 rating in that game for 2s, 3s, and 5s, with Skype and I've never seen someone disconnected from a call. Not that I don't believe you, but I've been disconnected and locked out of vent at some pretty shitty times too. I do passionately love vent. I just find Skype is overlooked as a possibility way too often, almost 100% of the time actually.

Also, to make disconnecting from Skype/Teamspeak/Vent less painful, play TF2 (or any other source game) in windowed mode. This way alt-tabbing won't take you out of the game for 3 minutes.

Skype has been nothing but trouble for me.

I hear what you mean, but I think it's too much trouble if there's already another, and better option at hand. If Rek gets tired of renting a server, then we'll havta deal with skype or steam chat.

Also, I already play in windowed mode. lol

Gonna be gone tomorrow night and most of Saturday, as I've been enlisted to drive my grandfather to a family reunion. :[

NO, I DON'T FEEL OBLIGATED OR FORCED TO BECAUSE MY MOM AND ABUELA KEEP BUGGING ME ABOUT IT. I'M DOING IT BECAUSE I LIKE HANGING OUT WITH MY INSANE FAMILY I DON'T KNOW. >_____>;
