Destroying a pub can be done so many different ways if you have good movement and aim well, you don't need to copy the competitive strats, although reading their reasoning will certainly better your understanding of the game in general. Well sure, it's the same in any game that has a competitive side. | ||

I don't really know much about highlander, most of the time people just run whatever in that format. | ||

Most of the time it revolves around building uber as quickly as possible with high mobility classes. 6v6 almost always consists of 1 uber/kritz medic, 1 stock demo, 1 roaming soldier with gun boats (pain train optional), 1 shotgun soldier, and 2 stock scouts. Heavy is occasionally used as a last ditch effort to defend the last point, and sniper/pyro/spy peppered in depending on the player running the classes. I don't really know much about highlander, most of the time people just run whatever in that format. I am aware, I have comp tf2 experience. What I'm saying though, is that what a pro will do/talk about doing in their competitive games, is based around your above matchups. Scouts roam in pairs, demos are heavily defensive unless pushing a point in which case they exert a lot of spam and zone control(perhaps Euro TF2 is still demo centric and less about the pocket soldier), roaming soldiers are basically looking for medic picks at the cost of their own life, or trying to catch the scouts off guard to create an unbalanced map, etc. Some of this shit doesn't carry over to pubs, like at all, other than the aim and movement. There are pyros, sentry guns, spies, multiple demomen, multiple medics, a fucking payload cart(maybe even 2!). Being good on a tf2 pub is first and foremost about learning how to move and shoot, learning the maps, and learning how 'pubbers' play the game. Knowing what the pros do to optimize competitive play doesn't really make you a better pub tf2 player. | ||

but he does have a perfectly adequate answer for the most part. In reality I would just need to play a lot with the right attitude. | ||

He's not... I have similar questions mordek. I've spent a little time today watching some demo commentary, and I've realized I've been playing him far too aggressively instead of laying cover and dishing out tons of damage/kills from the back. It stems from only playing solo recently, and the fact that there's obvious differences between pub and pro games, but it's at least given me some things to think about. | ||

Aside from questions about moving around the map and such, what are you looking for? FPS games are fairly straightforward in terms of "skills" only execution and slight differences in how they play based on what type of game it is. | ||
