I have to say, the Halo series is my favorite, hands down. First game I ever owned was Halo: Combat Evolved.

I prefer multiplayer over campaigns and such, although it may just be the kind of person that I am. I'll play through it for the achievements, then I'm done. Same with books, I can never buy a book because no matter how much I love it, reading it twice isn't an option. I just play through the whole book in my head as soon as I start reading and ruin the experience for myself. I guess you could say I'm always looking for a new thrill.

TF2 is a pain in the butt to learn. I personally don't like the controls much, specifically, switching your weapon. The scroll thingy would have been fine if you didn't have to click afterwards, but I always forget to click. I would much rather prefer something like Minecraft's scroll to choose or how you can choose a number 1-9 and it will choose the corresponding item on your hotbar.

Thanks for the tips by the way, I just recently got destroyed in a game, but I did better than before went something like 6 and 15. >.< I swear I'll do better one day.

Go into options and enable fast weapon switching, and you won't have to bother with the clicking.

Also, try playing as Medic - it's fairly simple, you'll learn a lot by watching others, and it's a very helpful class most of the time.

That makes perfect sense! I know with a lot of games it's like that, but a perfectly crafted singleplayer can make me replay it again and again!

Ah, you get used to it. Got my ass kicked so much at the start, was getting about 1 kill to every 10 deaths or something. I sucked. Now I can come out with a positive kill/death ratio... most the time! You get used to the system of scrolling too, just takes practice man!

I hate having to actually work. Can't I play some COD and just spray?

Ah, but if you invest the effort it's much more fulfilling to kill people in TF2!

Yea, well, I just got destroyed playing TF2, "practicing". But anyways, thanks, I still have no idea how to play, but at least I'm getting somewhere.

Ah, you'll get better even if it is infuriating! Join the Hubski Steam Group, and once I fix my shitty laptop I'll play with you some time! I'm down as MadreDios there too.

Already joined. Although it's stupid that I can't add friends unless I buy something. Guess this is my chance to buy Portal.

I honestly didn't know that about steam! I suppose I first added friends after I got some small, cheap indie games (my laptop - now deceased - couldn't really handle proper games). But still, that surprises me!

Turns out that I can't add friends, but I can accept them. Somewhat better I guess.
