    Guess what game I just preordered! So when do the items become available? When the game releases? Never had a TF2 hat preorder thing before.

    Get a flaregun for the pyro, but you probably don't need to buy it, you could probably trade for it. Try it out first.

    Maybe you'd want a kritzkrieg for medic.

    For soldier try out the black box, the liberty launcher and the direct hit, see if you like those better. Equalizer for solder is nearly a straight upgrade, watch out for medics trying to heal you.

    For demoman the default loadout is > everything but try out ali babas wee booties, persian persuader and the splendid screen.

    Sniper you want jarate. The other rifles I don't find that great (the ones you don't have) but I almost never play sniper.

    Scout try out mad milk + shortstop. If you like those, maybe get the whole set, you'd need the hat.

    For spy try out the enforcer with the dead ringer, not worth it otherwise IMO. The other invis watch is a bit weak, it really lets you sit on your ass and do nothing but look at the enemy spawn if you don't know better.

    Engineer has wrangler and frontier justice for a more aggresive style.

    Heavy you REALLY want the Tomislav, sandvich and gloves of running are the best IMO.

  • UEAKCrashUEAKCrash heh Registered User regular
    All the items are really personal preference. Most of the weapons are pretty balanced, so just play with them and try as many out as you can to see what you like.

  • IgelIgel Registered User regular
    I really like Natascha, I dunno what is wrong with me. Also, I've been wanting a homewrecker to annoy spies and be a friend to engies everywhere, is it something I should pursue? I'm a bit intimidated by trading.

    Best demoman loadout is vanilla + caber to be precise.

    Pyro says hello, and understands your position completely.

    Pretty much. Pyro has a place on a team, but it's just clearly worse than many other classes.

    SCIENCE! is the greatest thing.

    Also in even further vuvuzela news how on Earth do I use an action item? When I taunt as a scout the football shows up but I can't seem to find a vuvuzela option. Gotta spread the joy.

    Cheers, Crash. I left TF2 before all this stuff kicked in. Time to find Big des in game.

    Separate key, it's called the Use action or Action key, default is K I think.

    Set your "use action item" button in the options.

    EDIT: I thought the default was O. I guess the correct answer is "no one knows".

    LnL+Sticky Jumper+Caber is best demo loadout.

    That sounds like the perfect set up for a scrooge scout.

    Now I want to preorder this game even more, but I know I'd never play it even though I do love soccer.

    Vanilla scout is possibly the best designed class in the game. It fills exactly the role it was intended to, and when you get into a good groove you can top the scoreboard on kills alone. The exceptions are on poorly designed maps (off the top of my head, Junction, Gold Rush, and Dustbowl are the worst offenders) that focus the combat so heavily on sentry-guarded chokepoints (even then you can do ok for yourself sometimes, but you have to play in such a reserved style it's not much fun). That's a problem with those maps though, not the class.

    Admittedly unlocks have changed the game and pretty much every class has at least one considered a 'straight upgrade'. The scout has the atomizer for that. Some people get good use out of bonk as well, although I enjoy using the pistol far too much to switch.

    Bonk is a lot more useful on gold rush(not as much as the other two), junction, dustbowl and such, noone expects scouts behind them if there's sentries and tight corridors. Junction A to C is really hell if the scout can move around between the two floors.

    But noone plays junction. Not even my favorite european servers. Ok sometimes, it's a cool map.

    Dustbowl is made for bonk, ninja capping ftw.

    Scattergun/FaN/Shortstop + Winger + Holy Mackerel is my favorite scout loadout.
