Hey guys,

I've been playing in Drippy's 2fort on and off over the years without realizing there was a scene or a close community of people that play on a regular basis.

I've always used random names or used the server to warm up before I do a pickup game in TFC.

Now that I've been lurking this forum for the past week or so... I've noticed a few familiar faces in the server. It's pretty cool!

Anyways... I'm just saying Hello and pumped to be part of the community :D

Yeah. There's a sort of lodge feel to playing on this server. I'm guessing everyone here is over 30. Also these forums, this was the social media of my day and combined with TFC... good times. There's a funny recent review for TFC on steam that gave the game a thumbs down, the guy saying only veterans playing this game for 20 years play and you have no chance of beating them.

Yep, unfortunately it's true with having no chance at beating some of those veterans. Obviously there's an exception but even still.

This game has such a steep learning curve and a wide range of skills you need to learn. It's why it makes this game so great, always something to learn and improve.

Oh man, KILMOV is a solid player, we do pickup games all the time.

Thanks for the kind words. For skill wise it all depends, lol. Sometimes I smoke the herb to unwind before I play and I'm not very effective.

Did you play TFC back in the day or are you "new new?"

Dude you must be mixing KILMOV up with someone else as there's no way that oaf plays pickups.

Oh, a couple of things came to mind as I was reading the new replies to the thread....

Do you pronounce your handle "Zipo", or "Shipo"?

I remember playing Star Wars Shadows of the Empire(on the N64), and thinking "Xizor" was pronounced "Zizor", but when I got the PC version, the audio track pronounced his name as "Sheezor". So it made me wonder how you're pronouncing it.

Also, this community is one of the most "close knit" I've ever seen in my life. Despite how we can bicker back and forth, if someone needs our help, we tend to go "off the charts" to support them. We have had a few (former) members try to take advantage of that generosity... and the backlash was severe(deservedly so).

I, myself have been on the receiving end of this communities support. I have met a few fellow D2Fers in real life, and they have all been awesome.

Unless there are 2 KILMOVs'. I 100% played in a couple of pickup games with a KILMOV.

Very untrue. While there is a learning curve, the reflexes needed are needed with any first person shooter.

I didnt play much back in the day and still havent played as much as most of the people who play currently. I do alright in drippys.

Welcome XIPO -- good to have another name in the crowd

Hey man, I started playing TFC back in 99 when I was in grade 8. However, since 2004/2005 I've been playing on and off over the years. It's only till recently is when I started playing this game kind of seriously again as I'm part of a team and we do weekly scheduled matches.
