Valve is doing it again (and with this, I am certain that we will see SIX more free play weekends while they are updating each class). If you do not own Team Fortress 2, you still have a chance to play with some other members of a guild so long as you meet [minimum] system requirements:

Pentium 4 @ 1.7 GHz
512MB RAM
DirectX 8.0 video card with 64MB RAM
Windows 2000/XP/Vista

My SteamID is "SuperJawes2112", but I am currently displaying "Mr. Jawes".

Hope to see you there.

EDIT: for anyone joining for the weekend, here's a linky.
Steam Download

EDIT 2: And here's one for anyone looking for system requirements.
Can you run it?
It might need you to install something small, AND you have to let it look at your computer, AND it might lock your web browser for a few seconds, but it'll be all right.

EDIT 3: Lookie what I got...

I don't think they've done free trials, but expect more free weekends.

Remember to get your Steam account running, and you should be able to download and update the game beforehand.

Nah. Just Weekends. Download the Client then, and buy it for the CD-ID afterwards.
My SteamID is the same as here.
Do you have a Mic?
I dream of the day when we form a gang of spies and become the dread of every 2fort server.

Yes. I guess I forgot...but I'll post a link for anyone who needs to download Steam.

@ Tango's remark: you cannot have a team of only one class. It is impossible to win any game type. However, a team of nine guild members sounds like a great idea...

Nah, we don't have enough people to fill a team, but a spy gang a spy gang of 3-4 people would get rid of those pesky tanking engineers.

A. I am usually an Engineer
B. We MIGHT be able to get nine for a weekend or over time. With everything that Valve has for Team Fortress, it's a shock that it only took $20 (or less for Orange Boxers)

But if we get the people...Ace, Blues (if he ever comes back from the dead), Kaiba, Dax, Tango, Jawes. That's a potential six, meaning that we would need three more members to play for a full set. Given that we are also in a time of guild expansion, we might get three more just from guild recruiting.

Yea...If my steam ever works.

A full set?
I don't understand.
Is it the new playstyle?
I haven't been able to play it.

What's the difference between regular TF2 and the TF2 that comes with "Garry's Mod"? Anything special?

Why did they even release it on the consoles?

Nter

To make Half-Life 2 and Portal available Portal, mostly.

I actually bought the PC Orange Box AFTER I had the 360 version. I ******** LOVED Team Fortress 2 on 360, but I thought that a portable version for my laptop would be nice, and modding Half-Life 2 also sounded like fun. Turned out, the XBL TF2 was virtually DEAD compared to Steam. I refine my server searches to fairly low ping and at least 5 players in game, and I STILL come up with 200+ games available to join.
