To get this forum going, I got some news for us TF2 fans.
Just recently they added this news about the future updates for Team Fortress 2. I can't wait, because the new axe looks brutal. I can't wait to get it, I just hope the achievements are retarded this time.

We've almost completely wrapped up the next big release for Team Fortress 2, which will focus on the Pyro class, along with the Meet the Sniper movie. We've spent time looking at how the recent Medic release went, and have rolled feedback from that release into the new item designs for the Pyro and into the design of the achievements required to unlock those items. One item, shown here in concept form, will be the Axtinguisher. Although it does about half of normal damage to standard run-of-the-mill non-burning enemies, once you light someone on fire the Axtinguisher will guarantee a critical hit.
Along with all of the new content, we're also going to be making some significant changes to the Pyro class for everyone, regardless of whether they have unlocked any new items.

After seeing pictures of this game, I really want to get it. I've never even played the first one, though. I'm sure that doesn't really matter much. I really like the look of the gameplay and the maps. The characters look hilarious. Haha.

It's down to twenty bucks by it self if I remember correctly, and it is really fun if you like team based first person shooters. I know there are quite a few AllRPG'rs who play it, me being one of them, and I can only speak for my self but I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. lol
Edit: I also never played the first one, but the difference are so vast that I don't think it matters.

I hadn't played Medic until the achievements came out because I was one by one learning to use each class, after giving them a little play first. I actually enjoy playing Medic and within my first day few days of playing the class I was complimented for my work, so it was nice. I already have all my achievements, after going through most of them three times because of the bullcrap.
My favorite class though is Spy, even though it is extremely broken now. I have about a hundred and thirty hours or more playing Spy alone. Scout is my second highest with about a hundred and twenty hours.

Note: I hardly play Heavy, maybe an hour and a half, tops.

coming from a person who usually plays Pyro, this is great news. I look forward to what new weapons are gonna come out. though I think what valve should do is release like 2 or 3 packs at the same time. I don't want to have games full of pyros, as amusing as it would be.

It would be nice if they did that, but then we would have to wait even longer and even more people would complain, because people love to complain. Luckily, it seems they're doing more game friendly achievements, so it might not take as long as it did with the Medics to pass and everything is back to normal. Though, this means it's gonna happen for the rest of the year with all the classes.

Been playing it pretty much every day since launch.
Stats here: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197993130100/stats/TF2
Medic's healing and sniper's damage records are screwed up because I've wandered onto a screwed up server a week ago, but everything else is fine.
My latest favorite in maps is payload version of dustbowl, pl_heights.

I don't even bother with the stats anymore because of all the turbo servers out there messing with them. I have over 400,000 healing on a single life and I was only attached for a minute. They're all good and fun, but they don't exactly do good to the stats.

After talkin' about this game with some of you guys in chat, I definitely think this game is worth diving into.
