  • TF2 fans get $40k for their weapon and hat models

    Holy Mackerel: MannCo Pays Out Contributers | eXtv

    Since a couple of months back, Valve has been accepting weapon and hat designs for TF2 and putting them in-game. The last update introduced a shop where you could buy weapons/hats for real world money. They said people who contributed weapons or hats would get a cut of the profits, but I didn't think they'd get so much.

        Damn. With that kind of support, TF2 will probably still be active by the time I get a decent computer to run it.

        in 70 years...

        Totally stole this from Raydeus

          I don't know what you stole but I want it back!




          PS > Valve owns.

          All they need to do now is release Portal 2 and surprise people with Episode 3 and Half Life 3 bundled with a bunch of new L4D2 levels (and maybe Black Mesa) in the Orange Box 2.

            Your size 1 text is mine!

            Hm, I forgot about the idea of a Orange Box 2 sequel. Put the TF2 updates for the Xbox version in it, dammit!

                HA HA. FAT CHANCE. ANYWAYS
                Damn. With that kind of support, TF2 will probably still be active by the time I get a decent computer to run it.
                I managed to run TF2 in my laptop (which only has some integrated Intel Media Graphics shit for graphics - which is to say, nothing at all) at 30-40 FPS with the help of this thread. I used the phongless pack, the low-poly pack, the no gibs/blood packs, and the launch options (especially the DirectX bit.) It doesn't look as bad as it sounds, and the FPS gain is gigantic. Without that I'd be doing 8-10 FPS and lagging like a motherfucker.

                I have a proper gaming PC, but it's a desktop. Was convenient to suddenly be able to play on my laptop.

                  Is it a bad time to post

                  this?
