edit: this is now my post for the missing day I was away in Houston, regarding whatever thing I would have bitched about during that time

Scouts are your Achilles heel unless you're really good/lucky with your grenade launcher. Pyro ambushes are rarely survivable unless you get a lucky sticky that bounces him away from you. Just remember that when you're piping at close range you're taking a lot more damage than you would with the sticky gun.
I don't worry about scouts at close range too much but if I see a pyro closer than a certain "safety range" I sticky jump the fuck out of there

for serious, that son of a bitch could wade through all kinds of damage without slowing down a jot (though I wouldn't mind a smaller health boost, around +15 hp)

Also fuck balancing TF2 for 6v6 because that shit is just dumb anyway

Random Fact:

The better you play with a huntsman the more likely you are to have someone cry about it being a no-skill weapon. They don't cry when you're having a shitty day, or when some random guy just blindly fires arrows down a hallway for a point every now and again. No, only when you're on point and topping the boards with a bunch of headshots. Then, and only then, does it require no skill.
Random fact: I bitched the most about the Huntsman being overpowered while I was using it and getting super easy kills always


and something I've been meaning to say for awhile:

fuck this picture and everyone that posts it including me

On Hydro, and there's the middle pit cave, also known as the rocket rape cave. Perfect curved walls and sloped ground for maximum rocket/nade splash, all narrow for nice crowd killing. I've just gotten done telling this soldier to use his kritz rockets to rape, instead of using his shotgun.

And so I krtiz this soldier at the 4 point junction, where charlie is coming in. The soldier shoots off his rockets. There's now like 2 groups of 2 guys right next to us, begging to get an easy krocket ride to heaven.

Does he reload a shot and kill 2 mans at once with explosive glory? No. He switches to his shotgun (which, if we remember from last paragraph, I explicitly told him not to do). As he unloads his shotty, he runs into a half cloaked spy. He misses the spy with his shotgun, while charlie are raping us with their rockets and nades. The spy, unhindered then side stabs us both.

Cool story?

everyone knows you don't reload your rocket launcher during combat, especially during a kritz

the really cool story is how every game tonight was a roll, a goddamned shit map, or populated with individual motherfucking frustrations like how the axetinguisher is fucking USELESS IF IT DOES NOT CRIT FLAMING TARGETS

oh and every FAN shot I got on tiny didn't move him a single shitsucking inch


but then again I'd be lying through my teeth if I said that TF2 was ever fucking consistent

Some days my FAN/scatter rape, some days they do absolutely fucking nothing. My ping is pretty consistent on the servers I play on so I don't know what to make of it.

Well, I think it happens with every weapon but it seems most noticeable while zipping around, scout-style. Probably why I pretty much stopped ascoot scooting.

Meh.

EDIT:
My word, I have almost 400 hours played and suck about as badly as I did when I first started. Yippee!

Axtinguisher fails around 5% of the time for me, but it's not horrible enough to prevent me from using it, since the normal axe has no real advantages.

I think the FAN requires some really good aiming to be useful, cause whenever I use it, the knockback doesn't do shit. As heavy, whenever I get hit by it from a good scout, it fucks up my aim for a second.

The most broken proc is the sandman, since it fails so often, and landing a shot is so hard. I can't see any reason to use it, unless I like to upset people with how annoying it is.

Is this a joke? There's lots of times when a reloaded rocket is better than a shotgun. I can count the number of times I've been killed by a shotgun wielding krtized soldier on a single hand, and each time it was when I was running a good distance away or half dead. And most people have bad aim with the shotgun, myself, included.

As a mediocre-kinda good soldier, getting someone running away at med-long range on flat/downward sloping ground with the shotgun is waaaaay easier than using rockets, even on a kritz.


What was better was when I didn't realise that wolvesight or something was a really new guy, and I kritzed him as soldier (when he was reloaded) at C on steel and he just sorta shot a couple of times, then stood and hid behind a wall a bit, then ran at the point when the kritz was finished.

Really? I remember you shooting rockets to the outside of the cave, while we were inside. Then you pulling out your shotgun, running into the spy, while shooting a demo down. You also starting shouting something indiscernible, but it sounded like you were upset at having to shoot so much to kill one guy

I saw two assists on my screen, total, by the time we were backstabbed. I'd take those two assists (or even 10) and trade them for my life back and a dead spy gibbed by criit rocket, anyday, anytime. Fuck spies, and fuck shotguns in the rocket rape cave.

The current beta test Valve is doing with competitive players apparently has no NDA, but Valve has told them to keep everything on the down low

These are apparently some of the changes they are testing atm (all due to changes of course)

quote:
The new gloves make the heavy run at 100% speed (same speed as spy/pyro/engineer/sniper) when he has them out. There is no damage reduction. The new wrench makes buildings construct extremely fast when you hit them, but it can't upgrade anything. The current sandman gives you your doublejump back, but lowers your max health to 100, along with small stun tweaks.

Also, only rumored at this point are a 'firesuit' for the spy (take that as you will) and decreasing the FAN's knockback so that it only knocks people around at short ranges.
