TF2

Go Demo. There is nothing better the watching your enemies bodies get blown to little bits and see their head roll past you on the ground.

Kinda fed up with this game. I mean quality of teams yeah. But spy's are so god damn annoying as a heavy/sniper IMO


Even worse as an engineer with the saping.

become a pyro and kill the spys!

Great game! Played it since the day it came out, 3-4 years ago?
Play on (Slaughterhouse San Diego) Server mostly.

There are a lot of ways to play Engi, offensive, defensive, support.
Offense, you can build up stuff (lvl 3 sentry , lvl 3 Tele Entrance) and try to penetrate the enemy base to drop a tele exit. Once you do, you can build a dispenser and upgrade it asap. Now if the area is clear, just go get yourself killed, or if you feel like you have enough ammo laying around, go ahead and destroy and rebuild your sentry. Another way to play on the offense is by using angles and corners. Build up a lvl 3 Dispenser and lvl 3 Sentry, then place the sentry in a spot where you can be sure to fire away at enemies, but where they cannot hit your engi if you stand to the side or behind the sentry. Place your dispenser near enough to recover your ammo without having to move, allowing you to just smack away for repairs due to the sentry damage taken.
Or just go suicidal with a mini sentry and just toss it in the middle of firefights and kill as many people as possible. hahah

Defense, protecting critical locations and choke points is key. Build up lvl 3 dispenser asap, and then your lvl 3 sentry. Using corners and angles for protection can help, and since it is a choke point, your team mates will love the dispenser. If you have a wrangler and have a large enough distance away from possible enemy intrusions, you can perform spy checks by firing a few rounds and a rocket at possible spies.

Support, well thats mainly using your teleports and dispenser in a smart way, build your teles in a place that you know it wont normally get destroyed, and build the exit in a good spot, not too deep, not too far back, and drop the dispenser near it too so your team knows to recover with it. You can also build a sentry there for safe keeping, or place your sentry on the offense.

cool cool thanks for that :O ill just have to practice it! :D

Oh there was one more thing I forgot to mention, when using your sentry guns in AI mode, I would suggest having it cover less entrances or smaller areas for the most part. Mainly due to the fact that if there are too many enemies coming in from several different directions, the AI will try to multi task and will tend to mess up and that can cause you to get your sentry destroyed. The AI seems to just go after the nearest target , so if two targets come into range and then pull in and out, you can sorta trick the sentry and make it try to keep re-targeting. So for example, if you see an area with 4 doors, try to have your sentry cover 2 tops.

mkay ill have to try tomorrow :O kinda sleepy now xP

So, who's oldskool and played the original Team Fortress Classic?

So guys maybe you can advise me?

I just downloaded TF2 and I am trying to setup the controls so I can use my xbox controller. I want to set the left stick to moving forward/backwards/strafe left/strafe right, then have the right stick for looking up/down/left/right. I have configured the settings so that the left stick is set for movement, but there is no settings for looking left/right and the game defaults those controls to the left stick which means I strafe left/right when I try to look left/right. I also set the look up/down controls to the right stick but it does not work?

Halp :(

No matter what you do it will control like crap.
That's all there is to it.

Can't play TF2 until my new keyboard arrives seeing as my space bar doesn't work >.>

Who needs jump you just cant play...scout, soldier, medic, spy, engi, demoman or sniper....forever a heavy/pyro....you oculd maybe do medic....if your'e heavy is an idiot and can't jump....

So what are you suggesting D: ?

What do you use :3 ?

yeah... unplayable lol.

And medic needs a lot of movement to stay alive >.>

Keyboard and mouse like a real PC gamer.

any tips on pyro and soldier?

inb4 dontsuck

Soldier.
Learn to rocket jump.

Pyro don't suck be sure to spy check often and don't forget the use of air blasting.

I can't even think about jumping. I'm still busy processing WASD.

Bump.

headshots

:D

/kicks you off server

I HATE spies, so sooooooooooooo much!

are you guys playing together right now?

I'm not. I'll likely play a bit when I'm off work.

I'll be on around 1030est for those playing tonight

I used to be a really good spy but I kinda forgot how to play D:

Now I just have fun on Pyro ambushing people. Such good fun to hide in a corner then run out and kill everyone lol.

Soldier
Shoot for the feet of your enemies, if the rocket misses their body, the explosion damage will still hurt them.

Pyro
There are several different ways to play pyro, Sneaky(requires backburner) , InYourFace (requires degreaser + axetinguisher). The backburner is great for getting up behind your enemy and causing massive damage very quickly with critical hits. You would be best off trying to sneak up right behind your opponents and then burn them from behind.
InYourFace method is a bit more aggressive, for this combo to work you have to be familiar with swapping weapons quickly. You burn your enemy at a close range, and then immediately swap to your axe. The axe will then do massive damage and most likely kill in one swing.
As always, dont forget to use your air blasts to remove fire from fellow teammates, push back medics away from their heavies, push people off of ledges and large drops for damage, and pushing heavies out of the way to confuse the player being airblasted.
As always, remember to spy check, it simply takes one click of the mouse (1 ammo unit) to test, but if you feel like you should use more due to more possibly ppl being around, do it.
