[TF2] It's MANN Vs. Machine!

[Olbritishchap]

you shot him in the blooming foot :S

 

I think I had a screeny of when I shot a heavy in the head with an arrow, arrow was still there and he killed me. made a good "Death Camera Shot".

 

As for Pyros, they can be effective in a defensive manner, mostly on 2fort with narrow corridors. as for Axtinguisher, I never use it due to the lag so I miss 90% of the time.

 

For one huntsman sniping isnt really sniping, but regardless a good sniper who can headshot consistently can devastate a team by picking off medics and such.

Im not too bad with the Sniper Rifle, but on this PC I have a low FPS so getting constant headshots is hard unless they stop moving for at least 1 second. On a normal PC (not 2005 and below) I can easily pick off people with the sniper, besides heavies. damn things are like tanks half the time.

 

When was the last time Jaziek updated the first post anyway? (If he still comes here)

Not trying to be a hater, but if you can't take down a heavy then you probably shouldn't be playing that class... Heavies and soldiers are the easiest to take out, despite the fact they have more health than the other classes. Generally my sniper hierarchy is like:

 

- Medic as top priority

- Other snipers

- Engineers

- Soldiers

- Heavies

- The rest

 

I'm situational, though. If someone is destroying the rest of my team, then I'll obviously either throw Jarate to help out or take them on by myself.

 

The Huntsman is fun and I personally don't have anything against it, but don't expect to win against a good sniper with a rifle. A good rifle sniper will take you out before you've even aimed it, let alone charged it up. All of those weapons that people "hate" are fun to use except for the Backburner, which is one of the most situational weapons in the entire game. It's God-tier on plr_pipeline, though.

I find I'm getting much better as the Soldier. Yesterday while playing I noticed I'm able to more accurately launch someone into the air and predict where they will land so I can kill them without ever being shot at.

 

Also, should I stick with the Gunboats, or switch back to the shotgun? The Gunboats have helped quite a bit, but there are many times when I don't have time to reload the rocket lawn chair.

I personally use the buff banner, I find it especially useful playing soldier as often times I don't die very quickly, and the buff is very useful.

It's gonna really come down to preference here. The buff banner lets you be some serious credit to team, but the cold steel of a reliable shotgun is hard to pass up when dealing with multiple enemies at once.

I go with the shotgun because on my PC, it's too laggy to use the soldier class so I die quite frequently, making the buff banner useless (I've only been able to use it once).

 

With the medics Blutslauger, it says -3 health per second. is that when your holding it out? because I've never seen my HP drop.

A damaged Medic will regenerate health at a rate of 3 HP per second, which scales up over the following ten seconds to a maximum of 6 HP per second, (though carrying the Blutsauger reduces the regeneration rate from 3-6 to 1-4.)

[Guthorm]

You really should stick with the regular medic gun.

Me and some friends are trying to get a group together to participate in the ETF2L Highlander Community Challenge. Really hope we manage to enter.

[jjrox32]

For the love of God don't be one of those people who goes on the ETF2L recruitment forums saying your skill level is mid+ to high and that your best class is spy, engy, and pyro, in that order.

[obfuscator]

Yeah I'm down for doing a group if anyone is interested.

 

Steam Name: removed

 

Class Preference (most to least) Scout, Demoman, Sniper, Medic, Engy, Pyro, Spy, Soldier, Heavy

So far we have a soldier, spy, pyro and most likely a heavy and a medic. Depends how good my ego massaging and bribing skills are. There's no chance of us looking on the recruitment forums most likely will have a whole team formed from people we know IRL.

Link or isn't happening next month.

Im starting an all pyro team.

We plan to dominate.

[Olbritishchap]

Next month? i have my doubts http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time

Highlander = 1 player per class.

[Zierro]

What do you guys reckon is the mots overrated class?

 

For me, Pyro and Sniper.

 

Heavy. His gun just isn't powerful enough to compensate for moving that damn slow.

You got to move with the bullets, young one. :ugeek:

 

Seriously, I dominate as Heavy. It's just his class tactics that you have to do or else you'll die.

[obfuscator]

Heavy is only underpowered at very long distances. Within 10 metres, his gun is near an instant kill if you aim properly.

Exactly. The trick is, if you're far, getting closer to the target without dying.

 

Or sometimes by not getting caught. I've had my moments, and got killed by, stealthed heavies.

[obfuscator]

HEAVY IS SPY :P

THAT SANDVICH IS A SPAH!
