I have 1700 hours on tf2. I like it. Although I have to say ever since the game became free, I've never seen so many awful players in my life. But I guess that is expected for awhile anyway.


Don't think of them as awful players. Think of them as free kills and think of their blood as candy that you must devour as if it's halloween.

Haven't played TF2 in awhile. I wasn't the best but when I played actively I was at a point where only the top3 or so on the server were threats to me. God I'd love to see the server now filled with people even worse.

Truth for new players.


Aside from the "do you have any self respect thing" regarding demo, that's actually hilariously accurate.



Self respect thing is 100% accurate. Demoman is way overpowered.

Are you sure you just aren't good enough to kill the class with no hit scan weapons? Killing a vanilla demo isn't anywhere near as hard as everyone makes it out to be.

The new players are on the valve ones. If you go on a pre-existing server it's not very nooby.

Some of the new weapons are thoroughly OP, but they will get balanced.

I've never really understood the appeal to this game, and I actually recall buying it and never playing much haha. Can someone explain to me why this game is fun? Does it have a high 'learning curve,' or 'appreciation curve' so to speak?

I think I'll be sticking away from this game, the ridiculous amounts of downloads you have to go through and it's mixed reviews make it seem kinda bad :/

It's a great game! I've had it sense 2008 and it's only gotten better. Also I saw people bitching that items can be bought. almost everything can be crafted! If it can't be crafted anymore then there's an item that does the same thing. Another thing! Yes there are alot of downloads. The game came out in 2007 guys. They update the game like crazy and it doesn't cost you anything! They don't have a map market place which is also nice.(fuck you blizzard even thinking that) It's a game not to be taken seriously, it's just plan fun!
if you want to play with me my name is Snickersnee666
Had an idea that combines the intimate moment of delivering babies with Crazy Taxi last night. Can emotional arcade style gaming work?

Yes and no. It's not terribly fast and twitch based, so it comes down to learning and finding something you're good at, which shouldn't take too long since between all of the unlocks that TF2 many of the classes are less niche and more able to take on the roles of other classes than before the mass amounts of unlockable items. It's just a matter of aquiring said items, and figuring out when and how to use them.

mixed reviews? afair tf2 got the best reviews of any multiplayer fps in the last few years. people bitch about the items and new players now but i dont see the problem with that at all.

let steam handle the download overnight and give it a try. the game even managed to get a friend of mine hooked who never played a fps or any game online before. its just fun and for free most likely the best game deal in the internet now.

just slowly learn the maps and all the classes and have fun. :> if you played other fps online imho soldier (if you playd games like quake) and sniper are very easy to pick up imho.

Aside from the "do you have any self respect thing" regarding demo, that's actually hilariously accurate.



Self respect thing is 100% accurate. Demoman is way overpowered.


after playing the game for some weeks now i gotta agree somewhat. demoman is the only class that i consider "out of balance". fast,lotsa life, easy to play, tons of dmg and 2 demoman taking turns spamming can block a choke against like anything.




hering is a dude I know well, he's just trolling.

As someone who's been playing the game for about 3 years, originally a public player who got into competitive, I can tell you that absolutely is not the case. The drawback for demos is that while they have insane DPS, they are absolutely awful at close range due to the lack of any hitscan weapons. Sure some great pipe aim will help to negate this problem, but the bottom line is that if you take a fairly skilled demoman vs a fairly skilled scout, the scout is going to win a 1v1 90% of the time.


isnt that quite the theorycraft? a one on one in a open area like never happens and doesnt matter much.and as scout i can kill pretty much all classes easily 1v1 in a open area anyways.also if you arent face to face stickys triggered to explode mid air are almost "semi hitscan" if you know what i mean

ofcourse i dont have huge expirience(well 80++ hours playtime already <.<). but imho demo is too fast and resilient considering the huge amount of dmg he can do and how easily he can stop/heavily slow down the enemy just by blindly spamming nades into a choke(sometimes from a perfectly safe position since he can stay out of los often). great offense,great defense,great stats,great utility with the only weakness beeing 1v1 situations in open areas which are entirely avoidable.

and it seems many agree. in the steam forums there is a like 300 pages long thread about demoman OP ~~

For demoman, when you are being ubered by a medic, it is probably for one reason and one reason only, in pubs anyway, to take down Sentry Guns. Do so with a sticky launcher :D I would go on...but I could go on forever.

Are you serious? The game recieved critical acclaim. and BTW Valve would NEVER release a game that would get "mixed" reviews lol

Some basics:

Keep your weapons reloaded at all times.
Sticky nade launcher can be charged to shoot much farther.
Learn how your normal nade launcher bounces around the walls and edges on the popular maps.
Learn how to nade jump and the timings for the jumps you want to make.
3 sticky nades is enough to kill any class outside I *THINK* an overhealed Heavy.
1 crit-sticky is enough to kill most classes
If you're going to defend an entrance, hitting stickys on the top of the door way or ceiling is better than the sides and ground.

Pyros and Scouts will eat you alive most of the time. At least the good ones.

Lastly since I don't see any Demos doing this intentionally in pubs, your sticky can actually launch an uber-ed class pretty high/far and therefore breaking apart the uber, so try and time the explosion so.
Get it by your hands...
