So ive been playing TF2 for many years now as a "free player" today im thinking "why not" so im put a few bucks into it.

My question is , ive noticed some players can trade or have nearly unlimited storage space and can sell items for "steam money". So all i have to do is buy one item any item and i get all of the features mentioned ?

It's very complicated. Only certain things you buy can be sold on the Steam Community Market. Backpack expanders can get you up to 2000 slots, or 40 pages.

Just buy anything from the mann co store and you'll have a premium account. It'll let you give things when trading, give you 7-ish more pages and a whole bunch of other stuff

Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner!

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

Do those that paid for the game before it went freemium get the premium features?

Yes. You already have your dropped items tradable, and you have the Proof of Purchase from it.

Oh no.

Please. No.

There was a guy that played on the same server I did it was hilarious. Extremely expensive backpack with tons of buds and unusuals. All his classes were outfitted with some of the best sh*t... Except is favorite and best class; the pyro. He used a phlog (and sometimes a backburner depending on the situation), gibus, mercenary badgte, and pyroland goggles. It was so f*cking hilarious to seem him top the scores and watch people rage...

"Normandy" i7 4790K - GTX 970 - Phantom 410 (Gun metal) - Z97 Extreme4 (asrock) - 128GB Crucial SSD - 1TB WD HDD - H60 Refurb. - 7 case fans | G710+ Keyboard, G230 Headset, Acer GN246HL Monitor.

Quick thoughts on system: I7 is extremely quick and I'm glad I spent the extra for hyper-threading. I regret my decision to get the GTX 970, it has horrible coil whine. There isn't any excuse for this terrible whine I and others are having. I HIGHLY recommend a 144hz monitor. Future Improvements/upgrades: Rubber fan mounts, basic speakers, more ram (for a total of 16gb), replace GPU.

144hz is love. 144hz is life. I like to submit unfinished posts then do about 20 edits. I like the Night Theme too.

I have a feeling that's 100% intentional. My best outfitted class is the Pyro, and that's literally because of my Vintage Professional Killstreak Backburner.

This is genuinely the easiest way to trick people on non-Valve servers, and the easiest way to get called a hacker.

 

"Oh, that gibus scout will never be a threat!"

*15 seconds later*

"That gibus scout just took the flank and wiped our whole team???"

 

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

Looking at the original value of my stuff and its current value makes me want to cry... rip tf2 item value #savethekey

I payed $40 originally in the game. My backpack was worth (because I'm a 'not bad' trader) about ~$65... I leave for CS:GO and it's $25 (before I bought the paints, ignore those as well)...

 

Also ignore the poor investment in robocases on the last page.

I see you play Degreaser/Reserve Shooter Pyro.

It's better than the m1+w backburner I used to play. I usually role with the detonator in pubs though. Reserve is only used on trade servers, low number of players, or against a pyro-heavy team.

 

I used this combo when facing the guy I mentioned whenever I was unfortunate enough to be put on the other team. 2gud4me

I'm usually Backburner/Detonator or Backburner/Panic Attack Pyro.

Backburner + Detonator is great for flanking in my experience. Detonator to hit the "push" and then follow up with the close range surprise backburner.

Never got it to work well in CTF maps like Turbine (a personal favorite) however. I haven't played with the panic attack much, what's your playstyle like with it?

Backburner and Detonator mostly work best in smaller maps or in King of the Hill, where it's easy as hell to harass people with the Detonator and strike an idiot team from the back.

 

I mostly use the Panic Attack to harass Snipers and Spies.

Shameless backpack plugs? Well allow me!

Been too lazy to sell all my killstreak parts, probably worth a couple of keys as it is. I already cashed out other items in my BP the other day, too, but only like $12 worth. I also want to get rid of my soldier and medic unusuals, both effects are barely visible in game compared to the cloud 9 and Miami knights.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.
