Very reasonable video, Heartily agree with a lot of it. Favorited it (which incidentally means 4.5K people on twitter may see it too). Tempted to check out SpA this weekend too. GHLF Agro On 17 June 2016 at 14:11, Saint K. wrote: > Hi all, > > I'd just like to point

Re: [hlds] Community Servers and the Gun Mettle Update

@E. Olsen +1 to you and to @Weasels' response. Very well written. In many ways quite refreshing to hear such a well constructed argument about a topic we're all very familiar. The linked UI, as an example, serves its purpose. No point getting into the grit of what it should look like since

Re: [hlds] Guys, I Need Help Purchasing a Windows Firewall to Stop DDOS Attacks

Re: [hlds] [hlds_linux] Important changes to TF2 coming soon

Thanks Ross. Have bookmarked and will get back to you if issues found (not expecting any). Fletcher, what are the implications of linking to a single user? Should I register a new steam account for this? What if one of my admins creates the connection and it links to his account then he leaves

Re: [hlds] DDOS attacks against game servers

Ariel, If you were looking for a simple, install this mod type of answer then you're way off. DDoS attacks are by their nature a network issue so you'll need a network solution. Nomaan had it right with buy a server with DDoS protection. These services exist and most companies offering it will

Re: [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released

Quickplay isn't actually designed to fill servers, community or otherwise. It's designed to provide a fun experience for new players who just want to play the game they've spent hours downloading. If you look at QP from the perspective of a brand new user this change is the right thing to do. They
