...hello eGO community. hope I didn't get on your nerves too much.

I bought team fortress 2 (love the Russian in it!) two days ago. I got mixed feelings about it. the aiming sucks. I cannot even get a shot off I get dead! can you give some pointers to a fellow n00b?

main question: I bought Garry's mod. damned if I know why! paid an extra $5. why? what's cool/useful about it? what can I do with it that's cool? build like a level and then what? play online? in TF2? can you plz explain...

I thank you for your time.
 
Well, for Garry's Mod it has a lot of stuff you can download, aka addons. Team Fortress 2, you might wanna start off as a sniper or an engineer. That's basically all I have. Hopefully other people will give better advice xD
 
Well I personaly don't like Gmod, you have to download to much to make a decent 'thing' or map.
But that's my opinion.

Gmod I thought was used for CS:S, I do have it, but I never got into it fully. I just like to play arond with maps.


And I'm always a sniper :) Just got TF2 two days ago

for garrysmod go to garrysmod.org for the best down load site and u can just play around in single player and build till u get the hang of things. Tf2 i stink so all i can say is just rush as a pryo that is what i do when i play it :)
 
Well,I explain garrysmod.I've had it for few months.Well Garrys Mod is all about the mods withtin it u can play.Such as well...DarkRP.EpicRP.GmodRP.GMStranded.Stranded.But the main mod is 'Sandbox' made by Valve a mod for garry's mod that came along.The rest are actually made by other people.But u gotta pay for the tool in sourcesdk that u need to make these mods.Sandbox is all about playing for fun by building.Using ur brain to think of something to make.Then u can impress other people with ur creations of what u built.PM me if u have more questions Crawlerz

Erm, Garry's Mod isn't JUST about the addons, although they make it way more fun. Plenty of cool stuff can be built with the included props and tools.
 
If you know your way around the mod it can be a whole lot of fun. If you just spawn and shoot your gun then you're not really playing the game to its full potential xD You can do a lot of things like make boats, planes, cars, forts, houses, canons, catapults, and a crap load more things. Look up some tutorials online :)
 
I have got a few Gmod servers I can teach you in! Feel free to add me on Steam so we can play sometime!

BTW, good advice is to start TF2 off as a Medic or Scout. As medic, you can see the game tactics of experienced people as you heal them, and as scout, you can run around faster and still use a higher powered weapon.
 
The possibilities in GMod are endless. It can be 1000s of games at once. With Gametypes such as spacebuild, and survival, and wiremod it's ridiculous what you can do. You can create aircraft with working control surfaces, auto-turrets, spacecraft. Wiremod is extremely math oriented though, so if you want to learn to do godly things you need to be considerably skilled in the art of math. Simple things like realistic vehicles, and turrets are pretty easy though, and there's also posing and RP. You should find something you like. If they charged 80 bucks for garry's mod, and I knew how much fun it could be, I would still buy it.

If a videogame apocalypse ever surfaces, and I have to chose one game to continue living on it's own, I would definitely chose Garry's mod because of it's endless fun.
 
Wiremod is deff complicated, make sure you get used to the basics first. Wiremod you can pretty much do anything, but it is pretty much math.
