Hey. I have no ideal how to do a ‘pickup’. Can someone explain how I can play in these? I’m still quite new to pc gaming.. Your help would be much appreciated. This is a serious post.

cheers,

Sigh…. that wasn’t even remotely funny. It only made you look like an smartass.

Step 1: Download mIRC: http://www.mirc.com/
Step 2: Connect to #mpuktf2.pickup @ Quakenet
Step 3: Register your nickname
Step 4: Write !add
Step 5: wait for pickup to fill and hf.

(Unless something changed, this is how it used to be. I have not played pickups in ages because they are shit anyway)

There’s other pickup channels so just ask around, that was just an example.
Best would be to play on the pixel pickup but I do not have the channel neither do I know if there are restrictions to playing there.

okkkkk

And how do I join #pixeltf2.pickup?

/join #pixeltf2.pickup

Ace IRC client. mIRC is the internet explorer of IRC client, (Chatzilla isn’t bad but I don’t understand why you’d use a plugin for a web browser).

Find “Quakenet” in the network list.

Connect to it and join #etf2l. (join #channel_name_here).

Give me a PM (skyride) and I’ll get you an invite to #pixeltf2.pickup.

Also, there’s nothing embarassing about not knowing how to use IRC. It is kind of complicated at first and its not like everybody knows how to anyway. :)
