On a head on basis, soldier is the hardest to kill for me. Cuz the whole rocket @ feet thing.

I don't find soldiers hard at all, I prefer to take them from a distance(20-30 feet) which generally means you can dodge the rockets and they can't shoot them at their own feet.

 

Crap heavies are easy...good heavies are harder but not impossible depending on the environment.

Well I was talking with the FaN, sorry for leaving that out. With distance with Scattergun becomes easier but longer. Can't say anything about his new pea pistol shooter shotgun

 

My best class without a doubt: Spy. Who would of guessed.

Shortstop is great at longer distances.

Apparently so, but I don't think I would be good with it. I'm too used to being up close with Scatter/FaN.

 

But hey, I said that about the Dead Ringer too. #1 Watch in my opinion. <3:

I find the clock and dagger in general a lot more versatile. I got 13 kills and no dying with it.

Can you get around the map effectively enough, or should I say fast enough? If not, the CnD isn't helping. 13 kills and no deaths doesn't mean anything if you aren't causing mass paranoia, breaking engineer nests, and other silly shenanigans. The DR and IW are better in that regard.

 

Surprisingly, it's worse in pubs than in higher competitive matches. Probably because spies are usually employed as a "one life" deal, where one of the scouts will swap to spy to quickly dispose of the medic, even if it kills them. And losing the medic usually puts you at an absurd disadvantage.

Fair call. I do think that mass paranoia thing is definitely better with the dead ringer now you say it. It is especially fun getting half the team chasing you.

Once I get back into it, im gunna become a spy/soldier god. :shades:

Yeah, I'd love to play with you aussies/new zealanders, but as Shiny's seen, 250 ping isn't that workable, even if I was doing alright before getting kicked for high ping.

I think I can play with an asian population, with 120 ping or so. I found that hard. When I was a huge noob I played on 300+ ping servers and wondered why I was getting owned so hard.

I do find that CnD is a worse watch, except for when it's 2 people on the server as they get extremely paranoid. All it does is encourage spies to camp in one spot for 5-10 minutes waiting for the 'perfect moment' where they usually fail. Ever since I bought the Polycount Pack I've only used the DR. The only nuisance for me is not being able to disguise straight away.

Haha, how very true. I don't understand people's determination to kill spies. Well I do, but not to the extent of dying and not getting close to killing him. It's so easy to lure people into your sentries or your teammates, it's unbelievable.

 

Then we got the pyros who's magical fire can still reach you even if you're far away.

Spies basically make up half the metagame at pubs. Seriously, people will start keeping an eye on their backs the instant they see a backstab in the killfeed. There's a reason they're so feared.

I wasn't talking about being cautious, but rather the people who stop firing at the heavy or blasting back the uber to chase you across the battlefield.

 

After I play spy I so desperately want to equip razorback on my sniper...but jarate is better. :razz:

The razorback is the spy's best friend. A razorback sniper who I can keep out of my melee distance will never kill me. Paranoid enemies are easy to kill too. Just make sure they see you going around a corner while cloaking. As soon as you're cloaked go back and get behind them.

When I see a razorback, I whip out the ambassador, headshot and a bodyshot and they are dead.

I'm thinking about buying this game. Is it worth the $20? Pros/cons? Also, I've noticed some weekends it's only $10 on Steam, does this happen regularly? Lastly, got any tips for a TF newbie?

 

Thanks for any advice.

Buy this game. You will not regret it.

 

Pros:

Amazingly balanced gameplay

Diverse characters, diverse gampelay

Lovely art style; unique

Very different from your average FPS

etc. etc.

 

Cons:

?

See if you can get it as a CD. I bought my copy at best buy for $10 not too long ago.

Buy it off Steam. It regularly is at a $10 sale price. And, unlike a CD, it will always be there.

I'm pretty sure the CD just licenses it to your Steam account.

Bought it from Steam for $20. Was feeling rich.

 

Now I've gotta read up on the Wiki so I know what's going on. Are there servers for noobs?

 

Cons:

?

No perks,

No aim down sights

No machine guns

Cartoony graphics

 

:rolleyes:

 

 

TF2 > CoD. That should be enough reason to buy it!

 

But yeah, I'm late on my post. Go pick a regular server, I never came across a "purely noob" server. For a first class to play, I suggest soldier for it is the easiest to control until you get a manage on tactics, maps, and gamemodes.

Okay, I hate to be the guy with all the questions, but...

[spoiler=Wut]

 

 

Canyourunit says Yes I can, and most of the graphics stuff is on the lowest option.

 

E: Never mind, I fixed it.
