I do, however, really enjoy playing Snipers, for the most part. I seem to get a lot of criticals on people, and I find that it doesn't kill them. Not even when they're headshots (on heavies it seems). Is that right?
A sniper's criticals (aka headshots) don't deal a flat amount of damage: they multiply the damage that would've been applied at your rifle's particular level of charge. If you scope and let the shot charge fully, a headshot from it will kill anything, even overhealed heavies. Scouts, engineers, snipers and spies, however, can be killed by a single headshot at any charge level (except if they've been overhealed).
And as for achievements, mine are still broken, and I am still bitter. I hope that doesn't have any effect on future unlockables
And medics. Any charge level headshot kills a medic too.

(PSN: Morninglord) (Steam: Morninglord) (WiiU: Morninglord22) I like to record and toss up a lot of random gaming videos here.
Every other map pretty much encourages teamwork due to the cp system you have to get to the contested points where your team and the action is. CTF_twofort kind of works because of the bottleneck at the bridge that means your team tends to end up pushing together anyway.
CTF_well everyone takes engie and scout and splits up and it becomes a competition of who can place a sentry inthe most annoying place.

Have you tried deleting TF2 files? Deleting stuff worked for me.
I feel super bad for those amazing medics who feel cheapened by this farming stuff. And rest assured, I will certainly not farm. But also know, that even though these douche bags will have the same weapons as you, you will still stand out as the best medics on the servers.
And at least we will know you're worth the achievements.
Blargh, it's so frustrating to be trying to play among 4 other medics most of the time.
But I'm going to stay positive about it. Get some good things out of it:
A. Others hopefully will understand medic sightlines better after playing for achievements. (Alot of player already do a great job at this on the server I noticed)
B. I can use this time to actually play another class other than Medic or Engineer.
In the back of my mind though I think, GET THE FUCK OFF MY CLASS ASSHOLES.
dammit - when are you going to be back to playing normal!?
I'm just having a good time on holiday, but yeah i couldnt get a flight. I do that whole discount tickets 30 minutes before flight leaves routine and unfortunately its been no dice. so yeah I've flat out bought a ticket for tuesday. I might poke on and off from time to time, but I've got flaky internet

Garthor keeps making fun of me because I sometimes take like 3-4 tries to get onto the roof of B I'm trying the soldier out more lately. With the influx of Medics I feel pushed out to be more agressive. We'll see how this works out for a couple weeks.
And thusly the only achievement left unfulfilled is the "Get a Medic from the opposing team to heal you as a spy" one.
Uh, seriously? Have you only played one for like a half hour or something?
Seriously. I've played Spy for all of 55 minutes, sucking furiously all the while, and I still got that achievement. I don't even know when it happened, I just looked at my achievements one day and it was done.
Yeah, it's not a hard achievement to get at all. If you hang around the enemy pack long enough, disguised as one of them, eventually one of their medics will hit you with the heal beam for the second it takes to get it. What helps is damaging yourself before you disguise...jumping off a high point is a good method.
You will take a lot of shotgun blasts to the face on your journey, though.

I'm pretty sure an uncharged headshot doesn't quite do 150 damage.

Reverse rocketjumps. They like never fail ever. You don't even have to look behind fully, just peek to the side fire and crouch jump at the same time. What they lack in sheer height (you'll just about land on the roof as opposed to flying in on a high arc) they make up for the fact you rarely take fall damage, and they push you a greater distance horizontally, allowing quick getaways and the like.

Sometimes I use this script to do rocket jumps:
//Rocket Jump
alias +rocketjump "+jump;+duck;wait;+attack"
alias -rocketjump "-jump;-attack;wait;wait;wait;-duck"
bind mouse2 "+rocketjump"
Then I just point at the ground and hit mouse2.
Now that I've got the timing down, I don't use it that much, but when I first started playing soldier, it helped a lot.
I don't know how most people feel about this type of thing, but I don't have a problem with it.

That's pretty much exactly the opposite of what it takes to get onto the roof of B.
I dont know if anyone knotices but I sticky jump everywhere now. It's really usefull when getting out of sticky situations(oh... pun). I'm like, fuck stairs. I feel like a wanna-be solder. Oh, course you have to stay near a medic or know that you are sticky jumping to health to pull it off all the time.
I'm getting better at the rocket jumping but I still mess up the timings and I am avoiding scripts for now so I don't get made fun of more if I suddenly start doing it all right.
I'm having fun with the soldier though so far. I'm used to playing support classes in most games and that is no different in this game (medic and engineer) but this offense thing is fun. Those crit rockets sure seem to come just at the right moment sometimes.

No it's not, as you're coming from spawn and you enter B from the left before you go down the ramp just rocket jump to the side and youll get right ontop of B without using much health. You don't want to be on the ground and try and rocket jump up to B because it will just use more HP, and there is no need only incase you REALLY need to get up there.

There is no point in learning scripts really, as they are not allowed in competitive play. It is just an easy way to rocket jump without actually learning anything. Just practice for a couple days and you'll get the hang of it. It really isn't that hard.

Some thing "raises" when you join. :winky: (studio audience) Ohhhhh....
1 - Stops
2 - aims
3 - Fires a bullet between my eyes
In less than a second flat. My face just goes

Hah, that's how I often feel about the team having three goddamn snipers.
Fine, force me out of my niche. But if you're not the next antipop or Flippy, expect angst!

Because it should be. Also, we know what it is, as it has all been revealed.

this is the ultimate spy script and I fully intend to use it
spies can taunt with their disguise kit?
They fling their cigarette at you.
BUT NO MORE
He taunts with the knife out and flicks the cig at you.
Couldn't you just stab somebody or shoot em, then press "4" and taunt?
