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. | ||

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

It is my worst enemy as a sniper | ||

Can someone explain to me why this game is fun? Does it have a high 'learning curve,' or 'appreciation curve' so to speak? 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. | ||

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 ~~ | ||

Do so with a sticky launcher :D I would go on...but I could go on forever. | ||

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. | ||
