[DiSTuRbEd]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
i want it at midnight

DS isn't even released yet, so yeah that won't happen.

 

[SpiderPig]

So probally wont get it till Tuesday in the UK.

 

[Munro]

Don't worry kilword, that's easily fixed! As soon as TF2 is released simply go to your clock settings and change the time to midnight. Hey presto you have a midnight release.

 

[kilword]

har har

 

[The Brick]

Glad I got this info cause I had already set my alarm clock.

 

[UseAbuse]

yay! I hope they release it at 4pm, that's the time I leave from school.

 

[SirChubalots]

Hey guys, new here

Quick question about beta unlock, does TF2 need to be pre-loaded ( i just bought the orng box 10minutes ago)

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

If you want to play it when its unlocked, I'd preload if you don't want to then you have to download 1.5gb or more tommorow.

 

[MorganFreeman911]

Oh wtf. That sucks.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Note they never gave a time on when it would come Monday, everyone ASSUMED it would be 12am Monday...

 

[Arrowhead]

I've been waiting for 9 years, I dunno if I can stand just one more day. :O

 

[Ennui]

Man, the hype for TF2 for some people is huge

 

[Wanted Bob]

Man, Im so excited for the beta. Guess I can wait until the afternoon....

 

[skull24]

I still can't wait to play.

 

[Iron_cube]

The real question is - how long does the beta last?

 

[Arrowhead]

The real question is - how long does the beta last?

Until it's 'released' on Oct. 10th, duh...

Anyways, they say it is a 'beta', but really, how much work will they be able to put into it in just 3 weeks when it's officially released?
Also, judging by the gameplay videos I've seen, this thing already looks like it has tons of polish. Tomorrow will be a good day.

 

[AmishSlayer]

That kinda sucks. Late in the day for Valve is pretty damn late for me since they're 2 hours behind. I have the whole morning and afternoon free but I work at 5...

 

[Bakurei]

NEIN!

Damn steam! Still not downloading 1,2mb/s.

Edit: I bet it's like 23:00 for us fins :/

 

[scotland1]

Wow that sucks. I just got up early today to play it. Shit.

 

[THE_END]

Wow that sucks. I just got up early today to play it. Shit.

Same :frown:

 

[Rossell]

And here's me with no opportunity to purchase OB over Steam.

So I have to resort to waiting for October 12th.

 

[noQ]

NEIN!

Damn steam! Still not downloading 1,2mb/s.

Edit: I bet it's like 23:00 for us fins :/

*grouphug*

 

[Dr0ndeh]

if it could be released about 6pm GMT for when i get home from work, that'd be just peachy thanks....

 

[Sloth]

So playing this in between my two exams...

 

[-Psy-]

Sigh...I was expecting it already. :|

 

[Apocalypse89]

If you want to play it when its unlocked, I'd preload if you don't want to then you have to download 1.5gb or more tommorow.

It was only around 1,100 MB when I preloaded it yesterday...

 

[Zeus]

It's Monday, where the hell is the beta?

 

[Wanted Bob]

Bugger, I gotta wait till 7-8 at night...

 

[Noobulon]

So I guess I'm not even going to get to play it today (UK).

Well that sucks.

 

[Ennui]

I'll just be checking constantly every half hour until it's out now...

 

[Yogibbear]

Ooo I want the beta now!... nah... i'm prepared to wait a day... So i'm in Aus... what time will the beta open? Should I stay up tonight as it's 9pm already.... or play tomorrow after uni?

 

[Parrot of doom]

Gah. COME ON!

 

[Rapstah]

Why? :|

EDIT: Accidentally bypassed 10char limit, increasing length of message

 

[angusNUBangus]

I was preloading the game this morning at 3AM PST and only getting 5.6Kbps a post on the forums said Delete the ClientRegistry.blob
might reset the server list to find a good one. I was 30% through the download and it threw me out! I closed the client and reopened the client
and I'm good to go at 400Kbps now. I thought I was screwed :hmph:

 

[noQ]

torture.... TORTURE::::: : :

 

[Yogibbear]

"When the game is officially released, you'll be able to play it immediately."

NoooOOOoooo

*Will try again in half an hour*

 

[The Monkey]

So what will be playable on this beta?

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

So what will be playable on this beta?

Whatever they give us, no one knows.
