TF2: SMD5000, making you wish SE++ designed games since Today, 03:27 AM

I always seem to miss these types of games, but they are my favorites.
What time/time zone do these normally happen?
just periodically check the server list/turn on announcements to show when someone is playing something
They're a whole lot less firmly defined than they used to be though.
once you get into the unlockables, yeah
but a person brand new to the game is going to see those nine classes divided up into three groups and go "yep, I have an idea of what I'm going to do here"
and I think most of the classes still kind of stay in their niche even with the new stuff (the demoman as a melee class is a pretty drastic change, yeah, but even if you give a medic a kritzkrieg his first priority should be healing people)
I haven't really read up on this game. What does it do that TF2 doesn't, beyond the setting?
The Horn Of Urgency
and a giant monster stomping through downtown Angel Grove...
DID SOMEONE SAY PUNCHING HEAVIES?!
Punching Heavies is a god damn fucking blast in a fucking half. It is the most fun kill you will ever get in the entire god damn game because not one damn person can question it.
There's nothing cheap
Or Easy.
YOU JUST GOT YOUR FUCKING HEAD PUNCHED IN!
You can't argue that. There's nothing to argue. Your screen is currently showing this
Also, this isn't just our "Late Night Dickaround" Sessions I'm talking about. If you're playing a heavy in a normal match and you come in singing some Communist Propaganda Anthem, people know flat out you're insane and to run in the other direction or shoot everything they can at you. You're giving up way too much as a normal heavy to be wading into battle with just boxing gloves.
Now that business has been settled, THREAD! I missed you! Here's some celebratory screenshots fitting tonight's theme!
ThirtySix is so happy to be playing MeleeToo on Christmas!
ShieldOMeat...not so much
Destroyable buildings and some variation pretty much, it also appears it will be sold cheaply from the start.
No, that's when you let that motherfucker burn, burn motherfucker, burn.
that and it's 3rd person instead of 1st
you are part of the problem
That's usually when I start keeping track.
If I spend two lives, which as a Heavy waddling into battle is ALOT of time, getting a normal kill from someone I'll take notice.
Because I will NOT let them get a Nemesis kill simply because they have no Honor.
Although I'm interested in seeing how often this would happen in a normal game now.
Soldier, Demo, Scout, Medic, Spy, hell even Engie all have at this point a viable melee option in game. The only ones that have a problem are Snipers and Pyros. They need another weapon out in order for them to get a melee kill effectively so I'll usually not get mad at them as long as the active weapon was an axtinguisher or Kukiri.
Cause then if they kill me, hey great. Good Job. But if I manage to punch their head off their shoulders
Someone's getting an awesome killcam
what makes you say snipers and pyros are worse at melee battles than engies, spies, or scouts
i suppose he means that under certain circumstances spies, engineers, and scouts can melee-ruin your day with a backstab, a crench, or the sandman
snipers and pyros need to use another weapon to butter up their target first before they get their extra damage
also the fireax and kukri are identical to the wrench?
I guess he's thinking most pyros use axtinguisher, which sucks without fire, but sniper melee is on equal footing with most other melees even without jarate.
edit: Responded without refreshing. Oh well.
"This fucker ain't gonna switch, he's just gonna burn my fat ass to a cinder." With a sniper it's different usually because really, if you got that Jarate out...what else you gonna do with it? That's getting thrown at me and he's gonna have a really big knife out in half a second.
Essentially, unless you know who that Pyro/Sniper is, there's no real way to tell if they're gonna get what it means to be coming at them with boxing gloves on.
"I could have mowed you down 5 seconds ago and 15 feet away from here. COME! PLAY WITH ME!"
and i went to the website and there aren't any codecs or anything i need to download.
this is bullshit >:|
voice_enable 1 in console
otherwise, gl
That is very annoying.
i think i fixed it. i just needed to play with some settings is all. i guess my computer's default setting is to detect the rear microphone jack unless told to check the front one? or something? i dunno, it seems to be fixed now. w/evs.
People kept asking me what happened to my mic
Nothing it was still plugged in TF2 just hated me stop asking already
i dunno, i tried the mic test in the tf2 options panel and there was no response. :<
http://www.ddgamer.com/signatures.php that one?
oh I see what it did, for some reason steam thinks I've only got 62.8 hours in when I have about 120
wootah
seems...kind of low but I play kinda sporadically
hail satan
why did I find the dark mystical one that gave me all the achievements by typing a phrase
why
wat
you just spent less time on it than pip did
just type !giveall and my game crashes and suddenly I'm rolling in it
kind of
Unfortunately, most of the ones I have are the heavy ones involving taking tons of damage.
