Just yesterday I was playing a CTF map, for instance, and the game was tied at 2 to 2, with only one capture left for either team to win. Even if nobody else uses their mic, or most of the other players are just there for fun, it’s surprisingly helpful.
Funny stuff.īut anyway, no – like Knuked, I do actually enjoy using the mic to play, even when I’m not playing with people I know, to help encourage teamwork and let my team know about what’s going on. Haha, I thought I was the only one who noticed NPT’s comma problem. Just leave everyone else out of the conversation, because I assure you, we're not interested. You can even play games while you're doing it. Unless of course, you're some kind of noob.Īlso, if you want to chat with people constantly, start up a private Steam voice chat conversation, or use Xbox Live, Skype, Ventrilo, TeamSpeak, or some other chat client. It's not hard to check out people's loadouts first. Simply this: if you're going to be an asshole and toss around the "free-to-play noob" insult liberally every time you disagree with someone in Team Fortress 2, make sure you know what the hell you're talking about first. So what's the lesson here, other than that I like to have petty arguments with stupid people while I am playing games? They are not tradable, and anyone who has them is very obviously not a Team Fortress 2 free-to-play inductee. These items show that I bought the game back when it was still for sale, and that I have been playing since September 18, 2007, respectively. And rightfully so, since most of my characters in Team Fortress 2 are outfitted with either The Proof of Purchase hat, my Primeval Warrior pin, or both. Mic Spam backed off rather quickly after this, and was quite quiet after. Obviously, I do not fall into this category, and I stated that plainly. Since then, the newest, greatest community-spawned insult is to call someone a "free-to-play noob", meaning they stink at the game because they've only recently begun playing, since the game was made free.

Finally, as of June of 2011, the game became "free-to-play", meaning anyone could download the game and play with everyone else.
After that, it became possible to buy the game separately. Then, the original mic spammer decided that the best way she could deal with me was to call me out as a "free-to-play nub".Ī little bit of history, before I continue: back in 2007, Team Fortress 2 used to come as a standalone inclusion in the Orange Box, with Half-Life 2. So we argued a bit more, me click-clacking away at my keyboard, and the annoying mic spammer answering my few messages with an elevating level of shrieking. It's funny how quickly someone's world can come crashing down at the slightest bit of confrontation. The tone of voice degenerated into what I could only describe as "ghetto".

What was seconds before only friendly banter and playful chatting suddenly became a shrill torrent of insults, disagreeing with my command and demanding that I "shut the fuck up" myself. My message was immediately recognized by the person who I considered to be the primary offender, however. Being annoyed at my repeated effort and lack of results, coupled with the inane chirps and squeals of the mic spam, I did what any right-minded online gamer would do: I told them to "shut the fuck up".īear in mind, I merely typed this phrase into the game's chat most of the time, these messages are either not read by those they are directed at, since that person is too busy playing the game, or it is swept off the screen quickly by in-game announcements. These players were being too vocal, to the point that I couldn't concentrate on the game because of all the "mic spam". Some people on my team, who had been playing on the server before I got there, were using their microphones to play the game. I was playing Team Fortress 2 the other day, and having a less than stellar round. I was chided as being one of the newbie players who only recently got into the game because it became free-to-play, despite my owning and playing the game since 2007.īut let me back up a little bit. So the other day I was playing Team Fortress 2, and someone accused me of being a "free-to-play noob".
