this is the kind of game you play when your friends do, but never besides that. + Show Spoiler + it's even worse when you don't have friends | ||

Best class to start with are scouts, solider heavy and sniper. | ||

You'll learn the classes, what they can do, and how to deal with them. Medic doesn't require FPS aiming or prediction skills to be successful (though it helps), and your teammates will guide you through the map and (hopefully) put you where you need to be. And you'll still be a huge help to your team even if you play terribly. If you want to try some combat classes, Heavy and Soldier are both pretty friendly to start with. Just start playing; the rest of the tips I'd give would probably be more specific problems. Best class to start with are scouts... Noooooo, do NOT start with Scout. Scout requires good map awareness, good aim, good sense of composition and abilities of the enemy, etc. Fun as hell, but really not a class to start with. | ||

...Simply because you'll die a lot if you fail at any one of these things. And your team won't yell at you if you're terrible because no one wants even the bad medics to switch to another class. Just don't start as Sniper unless you're ABSOLUTELY SURE you know what the hell you're doing. Too many clueless snipers... | ||

That's surprisingly accurate. I feel silly having bought the game during some sale last year for like $12. I should've seen this coming. Still, it's making me want to go and play more TF2 which is a problem with all the games I'm already splitting my time with. D: | ||

-Turn hit indication sounds on. This is a must, and you'll figure out why about five minutes into the game. -Change your starting crosshair to something visible. I suggest bright green, with the actual crosshair a small circle. -Turn Medigun beam lock on, so you don't wear out your mouse holding down the medigun button. Weapons you should try to acquire first (not in any particular order): -Equalizer -Axtinguisher -Degreaser -Ubersaw -Kritzkrieg -GRU There's probably a few more, but these are important. Learn how to rocket and sticky jump. And turn in the air (strafe one way while in the air after rocket jumping, and turn in the same direction using the mouse).

Twice the DPS, twice the health, with exactly the same speed...it's the new Natasha, I swear. | ||

Can't wait to hit the public with my friends to own every new player (and older ones) up. You can "find" all the items in the game... weapons that is... just takes a unit of "time" or you trade for them... hats are a different story and they aren't necessarily free... only one or two items in the game are actually better than what they actually replaced... the rest are just used differently... ( the other bonesaw with the aoe heal and not the regular one considering they both have the same dps ) | ||
