No, but I need another USB cable to go online since we need the one we already have for our internet to not suck. Besides, I've heard of way too many stories like, "I was playing Halo 3 online, and a guy said, 'Everybody go for *Screen name*, he's orange'". That, and it seems easier to find fanboys and folks that are way too serious about it.

Here's a thought: Don't play Halo 3 online... unless you have no friends to play with, I find it much more entertaining to play with your buddies than with people screaming through their mics "AHAHAHAH! I PWNED YA BITCH! FUCKING NEWB! GO CRY TO YO MAMMA! TELL HER SHE WAS GOOD IN BED LAST NIGHT TOO! OH, AND PUT THAT IN YOUR JUICEBOX AND SUCK IT!!!!" >_>

1. I'm a thousand miles away from my nomral computer. 2. I'm not going to make an idiot of myself in front of actual people. I once tried to play online on a game, and I was so bad that my name spread across the game at the speed of gossip, so nobody would let me join their game and nobody would join any I made. I've been paranoid about such things since. Alright, maggots, listen up! The default movement keys are w, s, a, and d. W makes you go forward, S makes you go backwards, A makes you go left, and D makes you go right. To aim, move the mouse around. To shoot, press the left mouse button. The default reload key is R, although I personally like to set it to the Mouse Scroll Button. The Scout is fast and is built for capping quickly and moving fast. He's good at Close Range Combat. The Pyro excells at short range combat. His flamethrower will catch anything on fire except another Pyro and deal 50-60 damage of afterburn. The Soldier, the BEST class, is slow but powerful. He has a rocket launcher that can blast any enemy to pieces! The Heavy is another slow class. He has a chaingun that fires over a 100 bullets a minute. He has 300 HP, the most of any class, and can rip through just about anything. The Demoman is the only black person in this game. And he's Scottish! What a racist game! Anyway, he can fire explosive grenades that exlpode upon contact with enemy or after several seconds. He can also lay sticky bombs, which he can detonate later. The Engineer is the perfect defence class. He can build a Sentry that automatically attacks enemies, a dispenser to give him and your teammates health and ammo, and teleporters to minimize walking distance. The Sniper is just that. A sniper. He gets headshots. Yea. And he has a machine gun, but that shouldn't be too much trouble. The Medic heals people. His Syringe gun isn't very powerful, but it can get the job done. The more health he heals, the faster his Ubercharge fills up. Once it's full, press some button that isn't called the left trigger and your Medigun target will go invincible for a few seconds. The Spy is the most deadly class. He can cloak to get behind enemy lines, disguise as an enemy to move around amoungst them, and then sap Enigneers' buildings. His knife will insrantly kill you if he hits you in the back with it. And that's all you need to know! Keep head down Maggot, and remember, Red team is the best!

There's a wikipedia on the game, and each article on the classes have information on all the different tricks and strategies on how to play as them.

EDIT: and I plan to be spending a lot of time as the pyro. >_> 2fort: Underwater tunnels below the bridge lead into the bases, with a small platform with a health vial and ammo kit. There are two normal entrances which lead to 2 hallways. One wide open and one long but thin. In the thin one is a hole where you or your enemies can come down from spawn 2. These both lead to courtyards, with two sets of steps. Enemy sentries are usually located here. There are two openings: one leads to a spawn area and the other to the intelligence (A.K.A. the enemy flag.) The spawn area is a small room with hay in it. Spawn #1 is located here. 3 entrances: one that leads down to the entrance, one to the intelligence, and one to the catwalk, where snipers are usually located. On the otherside of the catwalk is Spawn #2. If you really want to know how to do things, join an empty server and look around the map.

Oh, you got the whole Orange Box? Play the games in this order:
Half-Life 2 Half-Life 2: Episode 1 Portal Half-Life 2: Episode 2
After that you should have some expierence with FPS's and should be able to hold your own in TF2.

Because I a) didn't look at it at the time b) When I did, I didn't know what it meant c) I tried to on my 2nd and 3rd playthroughs, but I forgot after a few chambers.
