I am wanting to hear how TF2 is for everybody. What do you all think of TF2? Do share.

By the way, with "engine improvements", how well does it run? Comparable/same as Episode 1 or slightly worse? IIRC, I could actually do 1920x1200 at high, although I'll probably just settle for 1680.
It definitely runs worse than Ep.1, no doubt because of all the new lighting stuff, not to mention all three Orange Box games now have an option for 'Very High' textures, as well as motion blur.
I've got a 7900GT + Pentium D 805 and I run Ep. 2 at 1920x1200 perfectly fine with all details on high, HDR turned off (because I can't stand it), no motion blur, 2x AA and 4X AF.

Physics are your friend...
BTW - did you hop in and take it for a spin?

I will take the liberty to tell you a very good clue about what to do on the bridge ...
*potential spoilers for everyone, you've been warned !*
Do you remember in Half-Life 2 when at once point you have to place some bricks on a wood platform so that the bricks would put a considerable weight on one end of the platform, so that the other end would rise (like a balance) to form a "jump" ? Well, the bridge in Episode Two functions the exact same way, the only difference now is that there are cars on it already ... so think backwards ...
Just find a way to actually jump onto the bridge (the broken part that seems to be very unstable). You'll have the feeling that everything is going to collapse, but stay on it ... and the rest will come to you mind fast enough.

It's all kinds of awesome. I was excited for Crysis and UT3, but then I started playing TF2 and have not even thought about those other games since.
See this thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...=2100292&enterthread=y and come play on the AT players server.

Its still single threaded. It goes to 99% on one core of my 2.7 C2D, and the other one goes basically idle.
