    and every time ive been autoswitched from the 'rolling team' to the 'losing team' i notice these things: losing team class makeup is fucking terrible. will often have 0-1 medic and like 6 support classes like engi/sniper/spy. no one is talking at all. out of the three engis, none of them have any teleporters up

    I usually check the class distribution before I pick mine. No medics? Here I go again. 3 pyros already? Guess I'll play something I usually don't.

    The only time I've seen an imbalanced team that worked was when some of you geniuses decided to do an all Heavy/Medic team to push the cart. Damn, I wish I had been on that team, because you steamrolled my team.

    that should work

    however, you'll have to rebind mouse1 and mouse2 in all of your other class configs

    the better way to do that is make a config called clear.cfg

    in it put
    bind "MOUSE1" "+attack"
    bind "MOUSE2" "+attack2"
    

    and at the top of every class config put exec clear.cfg

    Don't think this would work, binding multiple things with a +action seems to make things screwy. Letting go of the key won't do -attack as usual, unless they've changed things. You'd have to do something like this.
    alias +leftAttack "cl_flipviewmodels 1; +attack"
    alias -leftAttack "-attack"
    alias +rightAttack "cl_flipviewmodels 0; +attack"
    alias -rightAttack "-attack"
    
    bind "MOUSE1" +leftAttack
    bind "MOUSE2" +rightAttack
    

    But yes, you'd want to have something to clean up when playing other classes.

    Yep and then like yesterday with gravelpit, we literally had 3 medics charging up next to each other, out in the B yard right at the shed.

    Duld literally walked over and killed them all about 5 times and yet they still went there to charge.

    At the top of the update page it said they added support for Novint Falcon to all of the Orange Box games. That was the update to the other ones.
    The fuck is "Novint Falcon"?

    So they pretty much just didn't update HL2/portal?

    God fucking damn Valve takes long for stupid fucking updates.

    I want my episode 3 and I want my L4D update (that will never come, but I won't get into that in here).

    I almost lost a lung yesterday.

    This guy had a speech impediment. Like he has too much saliva in his mouth. Dunno what it's called, but that's what he has.

    He also had the inflection of Master Billy Quizboy.
    Heroic_Billy_Quizboy.png

    So I tell him who he sounds like.

    His (spot on) response?

    "My mother calls me her little waterbaby."

    And then some guy that sounds exactly like #24 starts quoting.

    So hilarious I couldn't breathe.

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    The TF2 thread is only extremely active if theres recently been an update or we're bitching about something.

    Personally, I think they should remove spies until a way is found to get instant connection to servers and other people. Otherwise, I'm always going to GET STABBED IN THE FUCKING FACE. Although it is so nice when I hear that gentle scratch at my back, and know that a spy just got fucked over. Fuck you, spy. Fuck you.

    It's you. You are the reason people are always trying to kill the medic first.

    PA Servers are usually decent at protecting medics.

    If I find I'm getting ditched and left for dead by my teammates, I just switch to another class and wait for the rest of the time to start complaining about the lack of medics. After that, you're usually good for at least 20 min of protection.

    It's the same for engineers too, a lot of the time they'll get no spy protection, so after a futile fight against a legion of spies, just switch and wait for the rest of your team to start complaining about the lack of engies. The engy up and be a hero.

    That is a really awesome variant on how payload race works. Right now it's kind of a clusterfuck of a good idea and poor map implementation. Pipeline could be really good, but it encourages spawn camping by design. I fear for the game type at all because of this, particularly with kill-fueled carts. A well-organized team could rush the enemy spawn, set up, and then just roll, and considering that half of the team doesn't have to babysit the payload to win the map, the entire team can just spawn camp and call it a day.

    As I understand it, you're still going to want to watch it. If someone's blocking it, it won't stop completely, but it'll slow to a crawl.

    It's mostly going to have to come down to how the map's laid out and play-testing.
