They changed the dates because some people complained that they weren't getting what they expected. A lot of people, in fact. They added a new badge.

Title: Re: When were you hired?
Post by: Smurfette on May 09, 2010, 01:10:30 AM: lol, no, I do not idol. GFH can vouch for the fact that I spent a lot of time in the server just learning how to play when I first got the game. Just me and him, and a few straglers here and there. That is how I built up my friends list as well. And yes, a few hrs playing with myself. lol :-D

Post by: Mustard on May 30, 2010, 11:41:29 PM: Jeez Smurfette, that's like 9 WEEKS of your life. Two months and a week of straight non-stop TF2. I got the game on pre-order and only have 400 hours total.

I think you may be a robot.

You all can just stop, I have you all beat.

I was playing Hexen II, modem to modem, turning bitches into chickens on 2400 baud when the internet was still all text. :flamed:
Title: Re: When were you hired?
Post by: verm on June 10, 2010, 07:01:20 PM: hitman, not that I don't appreciate references to the good 'ol days, but i feel like Hexen II vs. 2400 baud modems/text interwebs were two different eras... wasn't hexen II in like, '97? by then 56k was pretty standard, AOL had pics a plenty, and 2400 baud on a FPS like hexen II would be unplayable i'm thinking...

either way, men after my own <3. now i have man crushes, great. or maybe, its a bromance?

Doom + 75Mhz Pentium + 8MB RAM + 14.4k modem = BEST MULTIPLAYER EVAR!!~!

Since we're digging out the classics, I can't help but bring up Subspace. I know it's not FPS, but it was MMP, and it holds the top spot (in *my* heart) for multiplayer games played over an analog modem.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SubSpace_%28video_game%29

Now that I'm thinking about it...it was a top down version of TF2. Anyone that remembers it, feel free to add to the list. It had:
different classes (ships)
stickies (mines)
air blasts (repel)
rockets (rockets)
guns (duh)
spies (cloaks/decoy)
teleporters (portals)
I wonder if anyone at valve realizes that they copied the game design and wrapped it in 3D implementation?
