do you play on a team, goodwill?

tf2 is all about playing smart, playing coordinated, organized, and having good strategies. aim isn't nearly as important as you'd think, unless you play scout.

Of course I play on a team. I don't know what you are talking about though, there's no such thing as a player who can only aim and doesnt have the experience for teamwork. Good aimers know what they are doing, and thanks to teams constantly breaking up and reform, good players find other good players to play with and drop the bads.

Now, who are you and what team do you play on?

edit: Oh, and this

unless you play scout

It's just not true, play some ammomod and you will find out how big a difference aiming makes for all classes except medics; and there are good medics and bad medics as well, but aiming is not a big part of it.

listen i'm not trying to challenge you or anything, i just disagree.

i'm traced. my team is "Argon," basically a bunch of guys i met playing bball and some recruits.

since you mention ammomod you should probably know me. not to brag but i'm probably one of the better (though nowhere near the best) duelers that frequent the server and have better aim than a lot of cevo-p soldiers.

of course aim is important because it's an fps but it's more of a minimum requirement, the better and better at it you get the less the effective gains become. it's partly because it's a spam/gang up/positional advantage game, and you're not really required to hit difficult shots. there's also how catastrophic deaths can be, and how limited the damage a single person can do, for the most part.

there's a reason why many of the soldiers with the best aim aren't considered good soldiers. read anything by anyone reputable in the community and they'll always tell you smarts is more important than aim.

Aiming : TF2 :: APM : SC

imo

high apm isn't auto-win, but it only makes things easier

I would like to know of any interest in forming a competitive tf2 clan. Figure we'd name it something starcraft related, and then proceed to rape our way through cevo-f because we juice up on starcraft before all our matches. I would prefer if the people who show interest would have some competitive experience(at least some scrims or what not-highlander even) but if not no biggy, every game in the world is easy compared to starcraft. Paper it would be nice if we could get that up on the OP so people could see it right away. Thanks

In that correlation you both peak after about a month of seriously playing

Hehehe I remember when the game first came out people tried to get TL'ers to play. Maybe we will have better luck now.

I am a pretty decent player, Ive played Medic, Scout, Soldier and some Demo on competitive teams. I am also a regular on Gotfrag and I like playing ammomod every once in a while.

I'm down for some get-togethers but if I could field a team with TL guys and start playing in CEVO or maybe even ESEA that would be great. CEVO is coming up shortly so we still have time.

Hit me up, Em not Reptile or Jaegern but I think I have something to bring to the table.

Join the IRC pug channel after you read some guides and watch some replays it is really fun, just remember that sometimes things don't work how you want them to and the general FPS community (Gotfrag basically) is much more immature than the TL community.

#tf2.scrim

Looking forward to playing with some of you guys that are way out of my league in ICCup :D

take out all the audio commands in your config, and as for the sprays i forget the exact command but there's one to allow sprays, and another to allow max decals. set max decals to something like 25

KOTH so far has been a mixed experience for me, that largely comes down to the maps.

Nucleus is a shit-fest of a map and needs to die, whereas sawmill has actually been really enjoyable to play. I haven't tried Viaduct yet, but I'm hoping to be pleasantly suprised.

The 10 second critboost that they've added to CTF with every cap is just idiotic though.. ><
