    I've liked it the few times I played it, but I haven't had a chance to play any of the other koth maps yet.

    Viaduct is awesome, you shut up

    I like Nucleus when I'm on Blu team, for some reason Red's side is strange and different and I can't snipe nearly as well

    Sawmill is just a wonderful map as long as it's not arena

    Whoh what about the pistol, cause that was my fucking butter, and primary/melee being the bread.

    you know how you could slam on the mouse button and blow off the whole clip really fast, and if you held it down it fired really slow

    well now its a little slower, but you can just hold down the button and get the max firing rate

    it is so delightful

    it has the wonderful bonus of making engies more viable in combat

    I'm going to go ahead and say that I don't like viaduct

    nucleus and sawmill are awesome because the map is basically a circle - the point's smack dab in the middle, but the pathways around to the enemy spawns are worthwhile enough that there's fighting going on there

    viaduct is just a big dumb line with a koth point in the middle, and literally the entire game is both sides shooting at each other from their sides while occasionally a few guys run in to take the point and get killed

    it's basically TF2 - WWI edition

    Trying to play Engi on Viaduct is the worst thing. The map is small and has long sight lines to everywhere. Sentries last seconds.

    Arena is easily my least favorite gametype.

    I'd rather play yet another round of Dustbowl than any Arena map.

    and pyro, don't forget pyro

    that's what the tampon gun is for

    alternately, shotgun

    when I'm playing Scout, there really isn't a way to take out FaN scouts

    except maybe Bonk! and then just run away

    goddamn I forgot how much fun this game is

    got too tied up in trying to get the special items to actually enjoy it, I think

    I finally got jarate today, which is pretty cool

    I still need an axtinguisher, though

    Not on the pub I was just on. It sat there for five minutes killing everyone until I gave up and went demo and blew the damn thing up myself.

    I really want to get to play more KOTH on the PA servers, because I assume the teams wouldn't be too dumb to live in that case

    I mean honest to god playing on a 1-hour-per-map KOTH server was a truly idiotic move on my part because the teams were stacked to fuck

    However I did get three crit pipe bombs in a row and obliterated the guys who were dominating me so it wasn't all bad

    Yeah, there's a couple places for sentries that cover the center, without being vulnerable from anywhere else on viaduct.

    I thought it was an engies dreamland.

    Why?

    it's not deliberate. it might have something to do with them updating rocket/sticky jumps to stop team-mates absorbing the splash and altering the jump

    or it could be deliberate and the one of the new soldier unlocks is something that lets you rocket jump better

    This is gonna sound weird, but I wish they'd give the soldier an assault rifle with a grenade launcher or something.

    Without the rocket launcher he could run a little faster, to make up for the lack of rocket jumps, and the grenades could detonate on impact where ever they land, so he's not really taking anything away from the demo man. And other than the heavy, whose speed is greatly reduced when he fires, no unit really has a good automatic rifle, the SMG really doesn't fit that description. It could be cool having him turn into a commando of sorts, sorta rambo-esque.

    soldiers and demos are the best axe targets, in my experience

    also heavies but only if they're injured

    takes flame+two hits on a full health heavy and at point blank he will rape you much faster than you can get two blows off

    it'd have to be inaccurate as fuck though since a hitscan weapon that deals significant damage at range would throw balance off like woah

    I'm not sure what hitscan means, mind explaining it to me?

    Also, it doesn't need to be be too powerful, each bullet could take like 3 damage from a person, like the needle gun. In a 30 round clip, that would be 90 damage, and accuracy could decrease the longer you hold it down. Kinda like, and I really hate saying this, in counter strike.

    It doesn't have to be really hard to aim, but should be something that works best when fired in bursts.
