About 2 weeks ago, we saw the release of Firearms Source, an updated version of the hugely popular firearms mod back in the day. We have gone ahead and set up a new Firearms Source server,

Just a heads up that we have the payload version of the toyfort map running on server #4, exclusively.

After a quick trial on the custom server, we liked it - we've chosen #4 as it hasn't been filling up much recently, so hopefully this will be a winner. For those who like LazyTown you will probably love this map, I do To help get it populated, we'll be sending out server filling events to get it filled if needed. So give us a hand, if you can, to get it popular.

The map at first may seem to be full of choke points, which to an extent it does. However good teamwork from Red can win it with ease. And if you are Red, please, please be aware of the secret room to teleport the cart from point 2 to the top of the stairs. This room can only be accessed while the cart is on point 2, so dont push it off. This will save you a HUGE uphill battle getting the cart upstairs. DataStorm will post a video of exactly where the room is and what to do.

Edit: Video here

We've also put the GamerFM radio plugin on all servers, this is a stricly opt-in plugin, activated by typing !radio in chat. It will start an ingame music player. If you don't want to listen to it, simply dont use the chat trigger. It has some cool features such as the ability to request songs from the DJ, and give shoutouts for the DJ to broadcast. I'm really enjoying this addition to the servers.

Hope you enjoy the changes!

With CSS moving to the Orange Box engine, we have set up a few servers.
As they weren't so popular we have moved back down to one server.

Post any suggestions or comments you have.

Enjoy.

We now have a 14th server running custom maps
At the moment it is running pl_Everest,
Everest is 2 stage payload map, with an additional control point named obstacle. The cart is stopped at this point until a control point is captured, which adds an interesting twist.




81.19.219.80:27035 - Fast respawn

Further maps will be added in time

As mentioned in the recent TF2 update http://store.steampowered.com/news/3928/ a server convar that forces all joining players to autoteam has been added to the game by Valve.

We have decided to trial this setting on TF2 #01 Rotation, TF2 #06 Lazytown and TF2 #07 Turbine / Fastlane until further notice. Once turned on, upon joining one of these servers, there will be no team selection offered and you will be automatically assigned to a team.

In a perfect world, the game would never need such an option, but there are increased instances of players joining and sitting in spec waiting to join the winning/better team and our admins cannot be on all servers at all times to police this. The setting will not stop anyone changing teams however please do not abuse or purposely attempt to circumvent the auto-assign setting by such means.

Of course, it goes without saying, that this setting may not be a perfect answer to the challenges of ensuring fair and balanced teams (as much as is reasonably possible) however that is the nature of a trial. We welcome any constructive and well reasoned feedback/comments in this thread and, at the end of the trial (which will be at a time decided by GTFO), we are likely to poll for final consensus on keeping the setting or otherwise.

PS - Constructive and reasoned feedback is not such gems as WTFOMG, u noobs,i hate this, i must always be on the team with my friends etc
