    krtiz sniper is the best sniper. Engies don't need kritz as the wrench already crits approx. 230% of the time.

    I was playing as a sniper on arena_nucleus last night and I saw a kritzed enemy sniper. It confused me for a second....and then I shot him in the head.

    Could have been the 'first blood' buff

    I'm definitely overhealing everyone. But if I have to waste 10 seconds bringing Mr. Demoman back from half to full, that's like 3 scouts and a spy who don't get topped off for the initial rush.

    the question is, why are you overhealing those classes

    spy especially, they don't need the buff at all

    Did the third reflected rocket launch the soldier up and well out of range leaving you without anyone to kruber? If so, your welcome. :winky: Wait a minute was it on gravel pit?

    Another thing occurs to me. Did you install the Engie quick-switch script?
    Perhaps Quaz and Wollstonecraft's scripts have become sentient.

    Yea also, scouts are little pieces of shit that steal medipacks all the time, right from underneath you. If they REALLY need heals (spy including) they'll run to you or just hunt down a med pack.

    Demos can't just run away super fast or go invisible. Their humongous black wangs don't allow for such agility.

    Cool, let's hope the update is worth the wait.

    In other news, I disconnected my phone from the router whilst I played last night, and I did feel some improvement on the lag. However, I'm pretty rusty from my enforced 2-week hiatus from tf2.

    Still, good thing I have my pub servers to fall back on and soldier around a bit whilst getting my groove back.

    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.

    Yeah, let me stop moving in the middle of an arena match and browse through a menu to select the half a dozen people screaming into their headset.. every single round, because TF2 loves to randomly un-mute people.

    Clearly it's my fault people were acting like shitcocks.

    Honestly, that's why I think it's fake.

    It's incredibly easy to fake a post in that format. There are also things in it that are, quite frankly, incredibly safe guesses.

    It's extremely generic. Many have already guessed that the new mode would be King of the Hill , and that the next update would be soldier. It doesn't say anything new. And the font is different from the other posts in the RSS feed.
    It also doesn't keep the soldier's 'voice' all the way through, just at the beginning and end. And when Valve makes blog posts it either entirely in character or entirely not.

    Right but compare this to most of the shit we see about updates, where they have images with the wrong typeface, things spelled wrong and never-gonna-happen unlockables. Maybe I am just so used to the crazy drivel on Steam Forums that this well-tempered, vague description of what we all already assume to be true comes off as legit to me.

    Engineer will be last, assuming of course the changes to teleporters and dispensers aren't considered an update (they're not).

    I'd imagine engy and demo will come hand in hand just like spy/sniper. The two classes are intrinsically bound together in many combat situations, where the demoman is often the only counter to a well entrenched engineer camp.

    There is a spelling/grammar error in that post. It should be "breathe new life," not "breath new life." Look at the second to last paragraph.

    Lots of comma splice errors as well.

    "...one or more aspect of their gameplay, while raising awareness of their more unusual abilities."

    Why would someone take the time to write a fake blog post? What could they possibly hope to accomplish?
