This is Saxton. Hale! And that legion business in the title was a Bible quote to let you know how serious this all is: Bible serious. So listen up, mercs. Some puny coward's built an army of robots to fight his fights for him. I don't know if robots have human emotions, but if not, they’re doing a Saxxy-worthy impression of them, because they look mad. Also, Reddy tells me they’re heading straight at Mann Co.

So there's a big fight coming, and I'm going to need you mercs to fight it for me. Not for coward reasons, though. Fight reasons. I got a different fight going and I can't fight both fights at once. Well, I could, but the fights are on different continents.

Boyohboy. If you're like me, reading the word "fight" this much has got you in the mood to fight. Last thing you probably want to do right now is read. Unfortunately, Bidwell wrote a stupid report on all the heavy hitters you’ll be running into out there. If I was you I’d skip it.

Alright, enough reading advice. It's man-to-man talk time. I am not going to lie to you: I am going to have to lie to you. You men are absolutely prepared to deal with this, and you are going to be just fine. Right. End of lie. Now get ready to absorb some bullets so they don’t hit my factories.

We have 48 hours until robots arrive. Get moving.

I think we need to put together a team in advance for this. we need 6 people who can be any class from the game.

I can play Soldier, Demo, Engie, Pyro or (on a very good day) Spy.

anyone else up for playing?

I'm a wicked ass pyro, just ask vall.

Also, i'm glad they didn't take after the whole "zombie survival" theme that's seen so often in games nowadays, it's gonna die out soon enough. This still looks interesting though, with the upgrading aspect and whatnot.

Also also also also,

I have been honing my sticky, grenade launcher and targe skills in preparation.

Also Invun. learn how to airblast effectively. a good pyro in this will be needed to airblast the many many rockets away and will be damn handy against the giant soldier.

I thought you wanted to become Premium invun. I was pointing out that only 1 item is needed and the lowest is $0.29

I wonder how effective scout would be on this... I could always try to use that shotgun that does knockback on the melee guys. :D

Expect to have to queue. Almost 10,000 players currently queuing for spots on only 50 servers. Hopefully that's just Valve's own servers and things'll ease up once people start setting up 3rd party ones.

I'm creating a temporary server for the community and will password protect it.

I'll keep you all posted.

Okay everyone. I do have a passworded server up and good to go. Here's the details.

In the server browser, directly connect to this IP: 67.216.132.244

The password is poo

To do all this you need to bring up your console by pressing the tilde key (left of the number one). If nothing happens, enable the devloper consloe under the advanced button onyour keyboard settings.

Once you have the console up type this:
password poo
connect 67.216.132.244


You should connect without issue.

Now, there is a glitch to where the mission end screen where it just stays up and you can continue playing with robots attacking. When this happens, hit tilde to bring up your console and type callvote. This will prompt a map change menu and when everyone votes for a map the server will switch maps.

People have also been saying that if you bring up your Advanced Options Menu and make a change, the the mission end screen goes away as well. I haven't tried this yet so I can't say for sure.

Have fun.
