I noticed a new server added to the list, 'TF CtF Playdead 905' or something along that line (after the events I'm about to explain the server disappeared from my list so I'm going on plain memory here). I went to get something to eat and came back to the game, started it up, and decided to play from my server history. The game froze after a few moments and I decided to force quit the game. It started going back and forth between 45-60%. Once I gained access to the server and the loading screen came up with the bar on the bottom right, as the bar got to about 70% it jittered backwards and paused. I've only been playing TF2 since a little after it became free so I don't have a very big server history, nor experience with server mods or servers in general, but something seemed rather odd about this particular server. My computer lagged a bit while it was searching for a server (which isn't abnormal for me as my laptop is fairly distant from my router), but eventually it found one. I felt like playing Capture the Flag, so I selected that option. I signed on and started up the automatic server selection for play modes. on a Monday, I think two weeks ago, and I had decided to play a multiplayer match on TF2.

I'd like to share an experience I had with a game of Team Fortress 2.
