They drop weekly ranging from 6 to 13 items a week and it resets every Wednesday or Thursday. | ||

You're playing it wrong then. Nothing is more hilarious than running spy on BLU and having your friend run Medic on RED. Oh and remember: sapping sentries doesn't break disguise. Angry engineers yelling at the medic that he's healing a spy while simultaneously trying to kill him with their shotguns doesn't break disguise. Neither does ubering. | ||

Most of the time it's just goofing around: Dual Medic with my friend(The Overdose/Syringe Gun, Medigun, Ubersaw for both and Chain-Ubering for noob dominating). Dual Engineers(one with Wrangler, one repairing, walling off from spies as much as possible and killing spies). Pyro/Medic(31 points in one life as the Pyro, my internet connection fails before I leave the server so it apparently didn't register). Or some other random shit. I can't say those things are useful for the team, but at least they are more useful than being a bad Sniper. | ||

It appears to not suffer from a slower uber charge rate if someone is at full health. I'm guessing that the way ubers are coded, it doesn't trigger half speed charge unless someone is fully overhealed. As the Quick Fix can't do that, it gets full charge pretty much all the time. No overheal still hurts (and the uber is of course not invulnerability - does shit all against sentries) but after messing with it for a bit, it seems a bit more useful than I initially thought. How do the item unlocks work in this game? I got like 13 items the first night I played the game and haven't got one unlock since then.

Yeah sadly a result of idle servers (not that I minded since I idled a lot >.>) and/or the manconmy update (Valve needs $$ some how). It used to be 20% chance to obtain an item every 20 minutes (effectively 1% chance per minute) but with no item cap. So a person could just idle 24/7 and always obtain items. There's a cap on items gained per week now which is fine since it does keep the economy somewhat stable (now with trading implement that is) and allows most players to be able to compete with anyone to buy and/or sell items. | ||

Also, people move very fast.. scouts are OP. Does framerate make a large difference in this respect? I'm talking 20fps versus 70fps. | ||

Does framerate make a large difference in this respect? I'm talking 20fps versus 70fps. Framerate always makes a difference, especially when we are talking under 100fps. Yeah Scouts pretty much kill every support class for breakfast unless they are bad and run into Jarate/Bushwacka melee range. They also kill everyone who cannot aim while they can so you should be a bit careful when engaging Scouts. Talking about fast: We were a Heavy/Medic pair on Well CTF, camping on their Intelligence spot when a teammate had it picked up. A Demoman charges from the door, onto the staircase fence and flies in the air a thousand miles an hour just to hit me in the face and instantly killing me(The Medic). Oh god we laughed. Fucking flying Demomen. | ||

Does framerate make a large difference in this respect? I'm talking 20fps versus 70fps. You generally want above 30 FPS. It's also important to have a consistent FPS. It's a lot easier to aim if you get a constant 60 FPS than if your FPS constantly fluctuates from 40 to 120. | ||

If you can get another medic to overheal someone, then you can keep that overheal going as well untill he takes dmg. Imo, the Quick Fix is better when you're alone on pug servers (and hilarious when attached to a scout). But unless you can utilize it with some weird tactics, invulnerability is too much to give up when playing serious. | ||

Most options you'll ever need can be found in the "advanced" section under "multiplayer". They have really put a lot of thought into the different styles people might want to use. | ||
