    It took me until yesterday to realise that if there is a sentry gun right around a corner pressed against the wall (ooh, nice hiding place), you can run out with the flame on and circle it, and it takes so long to respond that you can flame it goooood.

    Engineers tremble at tales of my holy flame.

    or you can just shoot flames "through" the wall at it

    I am being an achievement whore and demanding you fuckers added me as steam friends so I can finally get the "With Friends Like These" achievement.

    And oh god this game is so great why am I not playing right now?

    maybe they should make it so that demoman grenades explode on contact with engineer-built structures even after the bounce, but not with players unless it hasn't yet bounced

    I think there's a need for that, and it would fit with their purpose (I mean, demolition? with that name, they really should be better at taking out sentries)

  • Metzger MeisterMetzger Meister Registered User regular

    No, I do. I wasn't aware that a critical hit with your melee was a one-hit kill. I heard one guy on my team say they were exploiting these glitches off of youtube and I was frustrated enough with my connection speed and my own poor performance to be pissed at about anything.

    I thank all the people who taught me very early on about what sort of places are really bad places to put sentries. It's also fun to take that knowledge as a soldier and make other engineers cry.

    Things like shooting through a window at the far end of the map (point b, on gravel pit) to nail a gun that's in the middle of the front doorway. Yeah, that's a great spot for it, now go build another one cutie pie.

    Man I am such a mediocre spy


    seriously how do people know it's me every time

    It takes a lot of practice, and sometimes a lot of luck. No amount of patience will prevent you getting caught if someone just happens to bump into you as you come around a corner, especially if that someone happens to be a soldier/pyro.

    There is (or was the glitch) where you swapped weapon half way through a melee attack, I think, didn't try it personally, then once you swap back you get an instant attack and can do another attack as well. So double heavy punch... still don't know how much that is. Spies could use that to stab from either cloak or disguise without break it :/

    Also the weird priming a backstab so you can stab anyone from any position and it will still register a backstab seems to still be in the game, pretty sure I took one of those today, not 100% sure though.

    But if you were a scout or something its quite probable the melee crit will just one shot you, ran up to a demo for a point blank scatter and took a bottle crit and just died from 125. It sucked hard.

    Every time someone on my team asks if there are grenades in the game, I just kind of slump.

    I got more points as a medic (ended up topping the score table) as I have in 8 hours of play as a soldier.

    I like to kill things, but man do points rack up when you keep your entire team alive (apart from one) in a round of Well (or was it Granary?) sudden death.

  • bombardierbombardier Super Moderator, Moderator mod
    I don't know how you play Spy so much/well PotU, I have no patience for it and there's been so many situations where I've been screwed out of a kill for some glitch.

  • MonkeybombMonkeybomb Registered User
    I've been trying to get better at demo and I'm actually doing okay in a few specific instances with him, but I'll usually be at the bottom of the points table. Then I switch to soldier or pyro next round and get tons of captures and kills. I really wanted to be a well-rounded player but it's not happening yet.

    I can pretty much only play spy on attack/defend maps where there are necessarily going to be a lot of engineer bases set up. I need easy targets, I think.

    You get used to the dying. And that sometimes you're backstabs just don't work. And that people see you even though you're miles away from them and cloaked.

    The most satisfying is when you're behind the enemy lines and just stab your way through them.

    And killing Flippy_D all the time, that's awesome.

    More people should play on JonXP's server.

    Job's full of stupid mods like melee only SD and map change timer and shit. And no 2fort.

    2fort is actually pretty great when you play it for a while.

    But fuck Well so hard in all it's ovaries.

    I guess I'll play on JonXp now since I love me some 2fort.

    But I do like melee SD as well

  • MonkeybombMonkeybomb Registered User
    jesus, why do people hate 2Fort so much

    it's no worse than Hydro or Granary when the teams are unbalanced

    these guys need to add in some custom CTF maps if 2Fort is so bad

    melee SD is the way to go, though

    Melee only gets boring after what, the first time? Yes, yes I think so.

    PS: Hydro is probably the best or second best.

    PPS: I love regular SD.

  • M.D.M.D. and then what happens? Registered User regular
    My favorite is Dustbowl and I hate Granary.

  • PotUPotU __BANNED USERS
    There's one part of Hydro I really hate as spy, though.

    The one where one team starts in the base with the generators and all and the other one in that bowl thingy and the middle of the stage is this earth bridge where you can fall down.

    No chance to do anything there, really.

    Should try heavy there one of these days.

    2mong9u.jpg
  • M.D.M.D. and then what happens? Registered User regular
    Yea, that stage is kinda hard for a spy. If you can get back there though you get some nice kills. It's just hard cause both passages are small and everyone is usually shooting through them or have pyros running through.

    Because it can become really boring very often. Also SD in a CTF game is stupid. If you are winning 2-1 and time runs out you should be declared the winner.

    My favorites by far are dustbowl and gravel pit. I love attack/defend. So many opportunities for each class to do what it's supposed to do.

    Hey butters, thread title should be "Need a teleporter here!"

    If for no other reason than it was funny for a solid 5 minutes the other day.

    Dustbowl and Gravelpit are definitely the strongest maps and I never complain about them. Well/Granary, however... I hate the momentum shift that the winning team gets, in that their spawn timer is less and that each cap point thereafter takes less time to cap. 2fort, well, that depends on my mood I guess and also who is playing. Oh yeah, hydro is fun. I like the variety and random paths.

    I just got a core 2 duo, 2gigs of ram and a 8400 gs

    not the best system out there but its a fucking huge upgrade for me, so I'm gonna play me some tf2

    I'm going to upgrade my Pentium D to a Core 2 duo pretty soon. I am sick of having turn AA/AF off due to my shitty processor.

    Game runs perfectly with AA/AF on. Not cranked up all the way, but looks pretty good.
