Hello all! Figured Id give myself an introduction so here it goes.....Moved to Salem 2 yrs ago, been looking for some gamers in the area for awhile now. Props to bnash for the site woot. I myself am an avid gamer, obsessed really. I play PC FPS mostly and would really like to make some dough one of these days doing it. For now I make a living as a groundskeeper with the county and I attend school at Chemeketa in hopes of earning a degree in psychology one of these days. Anyways I got xfire but Im never on it, tag is UpArmored. email is uparmored@gmail.com. I just found out about the pdx lans too so I hopefullly will be attending those in the future. If any of you play combat arms then add me and we will throw down. peace.

Hey there! Welcome to the forum! Thanks for the props for the site. I try to keep active on the forum atleast once or twice a week. I came today and saw that you had posted.

Add me on xfire. I am rarely even on my computer during the week though. I am a true weekend warrior for sure. I am an FPS gamer. Right now its Team Fortress 2. I love that game. I played Combat Arms for awhile. But there were bugs and glitches, etc so I quit. It was fun though. I'll play if there's others interested too. I will pretty much play anything once. So I'm down with anything. Hit me up.

I would love to play tf 2 but my computer is not up to par. Im building a new one but my funds are limited so its one piece at a time here and there.

Combat arms is great it does have a problem with hackers and a few minor bugs but the development team is actively trying to fix those problems. im a staff memeber for legitgamingclub.net it is a group/forum for players who have been teamviewed and are known to be "legit" for the most part a great group of guys and gals and we can get together on most nights and play with each other for fun. i hope you give it another chance and if not then when my computer is done then we will most definately get together on some tf 2 or whatever.

Whats your current system specs? TF2 runs well on older hardware too.

windows xp
amd athlon 64X2 dual core processor 3800+
1.99 ghz 2 gb ram
on board graphix ati radeon express 200

I have an older secondary system with the ati radeon express 200. It plays TF2 really well. But it has a 7950GT PCIE video card in it. Before I put the card in though, even the lowest setting everything would be like a slideshow. Does your computer have room for a PCIE/AGP card? 9500 GTs are really inexpensive for what you get. Here's a Newegg search for 9500 GT.
