xipo P: 11/11/2020 12:27 | 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 |

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. |

I already told people here to expect you, and that you're great to have on the team. Can't wait to see you again, and hopefully this Friday night! Also, hit me up, so we can chat about that whole Discord thing. |

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 |

Yep, since I've gotten back into TFC I've been taking the time to learn all the classes. I'm currently learning HW, Engi and Demo as my main classes are medic/soldier. |

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. |

Do you play engy by chance? I believe I've seen you going offense more, and not just when there were relatively low players on the server. You werent doing half bad, either; I'd implore you to do more, we need more players willing to die for the cause. |
HelpSuper Regular Soldier Flag Defense P: 11/12/2020 12:32 | Thanks! I always start on D but then pull out my handy dandy flow chart to decide to go O ? Is it likely the other team will score without me -> yes-> I stay on D; no-> I go on O. Is the bridge own by the other team via snipers or scary bridge soldiers(you know the scum I’m stalking about lol)-> Yes->whine about an O tele; No->attack as o soldier. After whining, O tele is built-> Yes->attack as o soldier No->change class to spy or medic and hope all their d was on the outside. |

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

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. |

I do concur that it’s highly unlikely the KILMOV on this server plays pick-up games. With that said, KILMOV cracks me up. He has to be a father, because he lays down them dad jokes. |

Welcome XIPO -- good to have another name in the crowd I think the reviewer was referring to playing offense. Any veteran FPS player can play sniper and get lots of kills, that's not going to win the game. Playing scout or medic and capping the flag against veteran players takes mad skills. I've seen Reckoner for example go past three SG's like they were Chuck E. Cheese animatronic robots. I'm a veteran FPS player and my offense skills are mid-tier at best compared to a lot of players here. |

There's a password protected server I see that has a lot of activity, I'm guessing it's a league server. Drippy's get some serious games with it's match balancing algorithm, I feel each full round is akin to an informal tournament when match quality is 90% plus. I'm a big Valve games fanboy. I was in 8th grade in 1999 also but got more into counter-strike. I wish I gave TFC more of a chance, maybe I'd have hand-held conc jump mastered by now XD. |
