Team Fortress Thread: Evidently I am piss poor at updating these titles.

Servers


How to add a server:
Before you start TF2, right click Steam in your toolbar and click on Servers. Go to the Favorites tab, click Add a Server, and type in the IP. Next time you launch TF2, go to the Favorites tab and select one of the servers that has people in it, type in the password (wang), and you should be good to go. Also make sure "Show map list" is unchecked in the bottom left. It makes finding servers stupid as hell.

Now that's an OP. It's good to see someone take pride in their work!

(even if you C&P'd Flippy's post, his work was good enough it's worth reusing)

Doesn't everyone?

And by improve, I mean kill more mans.

I am on topic.

Someone needs to make a mod where each team is randomly made all one class. Make it random for fairness, as fair as can be when spy vs pyro shows up at least

I'm on the first page. Achievement unlocked.

Is there anything I can do to decisively beat a dead ringer spy as anything other than a pyro?

Run and hide like a girl in a corner until you hear bzzzrt, then shoot everyone in the face until you find blood.

Kill them dead before they can get to an ammo box.

Kris_xK

Playing with your left hand (when you're right handed) is fucking tough. Stupid cast.

That all demo round was hilarious tho. All the Demo "Mating Calls" before the round began were great, and lighting like 8 demos on fire at once will never get old.

Someone wrote a mod for Highlander (enforces 1 of each class), I'm sure it wouldn't be tough to modify it for such nefarious purposes.

I've found the best way to improve is to go to a pub and stab many mans in the back...then go back to the PA servers and get my ass kicked.

There is no joy like flaregun + axtinguisher on an enemy medic.

edit: there probably is another joy like that, I just haven't found it

I quite enjoy facing pyros when I'm trapped, charging them with my ubersaw and killing them dead.

At least until I burn to death. That's less enjoyable.

Sandman bonking a demo/soldier in mid rocket jump, only to have them fall someplace terrible and die is equally delicious.

My personal favorite is bonking the best player on the enemy team when a spy is hiding somewhere behind him.

Backstabbing a pyro without getting set on fire.

My personal favorite is blutsaugering a pyro as they try bee-lining straight for me.

YggiDee

An intriguing prospect, but I get mistaken as a Spy by my own team on a regular basis. Actually playing Spy will probably cause some sort of vortex of mistrust so deep that I collapse into a singularity.

I really find it amusing when I get set on fire by a pyro and still manage to stab 2 or 3 people before I die.

But, but... you are a spy, so how could you be mistaken for a spy? :wink:

Can anyone recommend some good maps for practising rocketjumping and whatnot? (Someone in the thread mentioned there being an airshot map or something)

is that Frohman or just a generic HL2 NPC?

GreenPowerRanger

oh god. It has box art.

DeadlySherpa

That's totally frohman.

also going to play some tufts come join me

BlindPsychic

That is John Freeman.

And check on FPSBanana, there's an airshot map on there, but its not really meant for rj practice. But they have jump maps for soldiers too so.

I find it really amusing when I get set on fire by a pyro, use my dead ringer, the pyro thinks I've died and does his emote, upon which I decloak behind him and stab him.*

This has not actually happened to me. But it would be awesome.

"9 men"

pfft more like 8 men and a medic

YggiDee

I'd play it, but also I am a sucker for RPGs.

Nuzak

anybody got any tips for the engineer campaign

i can't ford the river, and apparently dispensers can't be caulked, but fuck if i'm taking the knifeback mountain route

GuyMontag

You have to go back a bit and talk to the combine soldier that tried to toll you. You have to try the intimidating chat option, fight/kill him, and get the floodgate key. That makes the river just thin enough to teleport across.

(This makes me sad because I know it'll never happen.)

You need to get up to sentry level 3, and return to the Badlands merchant (the starting city). He sells a device that lets you disable friendly fire detection.

Do this, and stand in front of your sentry (keep health packs ready!). The knockback will get you across the river.

Did you buy a better wrench at the previous town?

I like how the picture that goes with the caption "A cast of colorful and unforgettable characters!" has generic resistance guy #2/John Freeman in it.

I picked up the Best of Class map from there to practise rocketjumping a bit, I'll see if I can grab an airshot map.

That_Guy

So, what is the deal with the stats plugin on Job's server?

BahamutZERO

I don't like it. It's annoying. I start subconsciously worrying about my rank.

Edit: Wait you said Job's? I was talking about the one on HoNC, I didn't even know Job had installed one.

Buttcleft

Someone get off honc already. I've been qued up forever D:

xzzy

Never thought I'd see the day when HONC was more popular than the other servers.

The people have spoken!
