I noticed that TF2 is now free, which is great and all but I kinda wish that people who had bought it got something extra seeing as how they went out of their way to get the game.

Also: My favorite class is either the Sniper or Spy, Depending on the map!

And don't play coward classes, please.

I don't see what's so wrong about playing Sniper or Spy.
A good Sniper can take out important targets without getting shot at.
Once I killed the entire opposing team (6 people) on Arena as the last guy. My team didn't complain.
Same thing with Spy.

Campers suck, in every game. Unless you're running out with Huntsman, then you're clean and I swear, I can't wait until I'll get Strange Scattergun and apply "Snipers killed" to it (once it's released). And what's with that Arena game, have you been playing with a bunch of F2Ps or what?

Edit:



LOL ^^

Good TF2 snipers don't stay and camp in one area only.
They move with the team. They stay at the rear end though.

Besides, what do you have against Snipers? It's not like you can counter them.
(Although I know someone who can headshot near pointblank.)

And no, when I did that run in arena, TF2 wasn't F2P yet.
You could say I got lucky when I did that run :)

Nothing wrong with snipers and spies.. so long as they don't make up more than 30% of your team and there are less than 3 of each.

It always makes me sad when I switch to Spy after seeing we have none, then check the scoreboard 2 minutes later and see we have four of them :(

Also, why must you all live on the other half of the world :U Can't join your games with less than 53254 ping :(

Well, if anyone wants to arrange a match or something and he's in EU (and maybe US East), I'm up for it.

I never bash snipers and spies.
Because I'm mostly busy capping points and winning the game.

I haven't been this excited in quite a while now.
Introducing a new gamemode to TF2 sounds like a good idea, but I can't get a straight idea about what this new mode exactly is about :/

But I guess I'll hardly have time to play the new map because I'm starting with a new team in the competetive scene :>

All I can say, is... I was expecting something in the old, fanmade MTP style, not this... this is just... weak... lame... come on, I don't even have words to comment that movie.

Movie is okay, but I already knew Pyro was a maniac.

I thought it was great. If you expected it to have an unmasking or some big reveal, you are silly. The pyro's entire character is made of mystery, the curiosity of what might reside within the suit - unmasking him/her/it would ruin that feeling and never live up to the fun of not knowing.

The movie was funny and gave us an insight into what makes the pyro who it is, which is all that a meet the team video sets out to do, right.

It was bizarre, disturbing, horrifying, and hilarious.

Yep, that's pretty much everything I could ask for from Meet the Pyro.

Q: What is the Pyro about?

A: Burning stuff.

As a Pyro, I think the short was spot on.

The short did everything Valve wanted to do. This involved ignoring the community who only wants direct answers.

Holy CRAP this update is awesome. All of the new unlocks are actually unique and interesting, TONS of overdue balance tweaks, and a pretty fun new game mode to boot. Definitely my favourite update so far.

The only thing I could say is a little disappointing is the lack of (unique) Pyro unlocks. I was really hoping the Scorch Shot would be a solid Flare jumper, but its jumps are weaker than the Detonator, which wasn't that great to begin with. Hopefully it'll get a buff. EDIT: Also the Scout pistol looks kinda OP (140 HP Scattergun Scouts? *shudder*), but we'll see

I can't wait to try out the Baby Face's Blaster though, it looks like a blast.

Fix stab system? What do you mean?

Most "facestabs" are just a product of lag; in most cases they appear fine from the point of view of the spy. Geniune facestabs I've found are pretty rare.

So I realize I'm being a broken record on this thread, but HEY GUYS. LETS PLAY TF2 SOMETIME.

Particularly people on this side of the globe, but hey, I'll settle for some 250 ping madness. I'll probably be on tomorrow night, so if anyone is interested in doing something, post (and/or add me)!

Also, the new guillotine and sapper look awesome.

I mean the range of backstab, which is currently 180°, making even sidestabs absolutely legal. When I turn to Spy, he still sees me rotating and on HIS screen everything is legit. The second case (which also happens every often) is when you run backwards and facing the Spy, game will register the hit as a backstab, despite both players are facing themselves. As a Medic player, I suffer the most from it and it irks me to the point I have almost completely dropped the game. What's funnier, those things happen on ping 30 and less.

Picture related


Taken from my Xfire (I was explaining game mechanincs to newbie friend). Seriously... how is that a backstab?

Edit: Maybe new items look cool, but they are either almost useless (sapper) or overpowered a bit (minigun).

I'll admit I may be biased, as Spy is one my of favourite classes, but really, reducing the backstab angle would be a huge nerf. Spies have it hard enough as it is with the massive number of anti-spy unlocks; getting rid of sidestabs (and thus, several trickstabs) would drive the spy into the ground.

He's already one of the hardest classes to be effective with against good players, I don't think his job needs to be made any more difficult.

Regarding the sapper, I could see it being a great harassment tool. If you sap before killing the engie, the engie will have a real dilemma over whether to remove the sapper (and risk getting stabbed/killed in the process), or gunning you down first (and reducing his sentry to level 1/2).

All it takes is for the engie to be a few seconds away from the building when you sap it, and whether or not he destroys the sapper your effort will actually be worth something.

I added you, but I don't play seriously and I don't play most maps. If you're playing dustbowl, goldrush, badwater or turbine then I'll join you. I assume you don't play 2fort, but I totally do all the time.

I pretty much only play with melee. Scout 90%, and heavy or medic for the other 10%.

I goof off in 2fort/turbine every now and then as shotgun/steak heavy (occasionally RJ/Mantreads/MG soldier on turbine), and badwater is one of my favourite maps. So I will see you around!
