TF2 BETA - OcUK Community Nights - 8:30 All Week

Didn't play it much last night as I was messing about with the dedicated server flies.

I don't play competitively anymore, just for fun so I tend to go for the Sniper or the Engi the most. Tried the engi for the first time last night, but couldn't get the hang of that stupid sentry building system they have. Need more praccy I guess.
 
Yep was great fun.

Still can't decide which is my favourite class though, I really enjoy playing them all, apart from maybe demoman.

Can't remember who the spy was tonight but I admire your nerve, taking a few baseball bat swings and not reacting, staying in your disguise. I think my teammates may have been wondering what I was doing, I ended up taking swings at everyone trying to see who the spy was :)

heh i tend to unleash a shotgun blast into anyone who's close just in case. Especially if there near my sentry like pluckpluck was constantly!
 
I am enjoying it a lot. Never played the original or TFC .. my only experience is the recently released FF (who I do feel sorry for.. but TF2 is better imo :(). I seem to do pretty well as medic (top of the scoreboard on the only game I played entirely as medic :D),
spy is a lot of fun - feel kind of guilty stealing help from the medics and it is amusing when you see someone on your own team with your own name. Also I had to get people on the sever to explain exactly how the spy worked.. heh
Not sure about the engineer building selection stuff. Seems a bit clumsy somehow because if I press the wrong number and switch to build I can't quickly press the number of a weapon. Sure it's not too bad with practice though, and I guess the spy is the same (although used less). Also I accidentally destroyed the entrance to the teleporter instead of the exit when I was trying to move it :o:

Not tried heavy yet, or demoman really. Other classes have been good but I think the support classes have been best for me so far. Sniper was fun and it doesn't seem overpowered.
 
Sniper was my least favourite. Medic was my most. I had a great time backing a heavy for over 5 consecutive mins and had two ubercharges which came in handy when the going got really tough!.

Its such a fun game. The cartoonish appearance really adds something to the game.
 
Didn't even get to play it last night, have got it installed on my PC but i'm building my new one and was going to wait and just bosh it on that. Having some pronlems and can't even get it to boot :(

Hopefully get it sorted tonight, software installed etc. Busy at the gym though then seeing the girlfriend so no TFC.

HOPEFULLY ON THURSDAY!

Some serious gaming is going down this weekend.

I had soo much fun as the spy last night. I stealthed int othe enemy base , disguised myself as a heavy weapons guy, then I had the enemy medic healing me the whole time!

Once I had a nice and high hp I knifed him in the back.

LOOOOOVvvvvvvee this game!
 
Okay, besides the small rant coming, I love the game and will continue to play it! :)

Right first;

1: Can't return your own flag, sure, it gives the opposign team a chance but, since the majority of us are joining pub-servers sometimes you'll find you're the only one defending the flag or it "immediate area", the rest trying to stop them coming in.
It's very anoying, there I am as a heavy around the flag with no near ammo/health supplies and i'm low.. do I stay and rough it out the next 60 years while it counts down or take a quick run for it and hope nobody goes for the flag setting off the century long countdown?
Demo is much better for defending it tho, kill em before they even pick it up! Unless the start fighting you, bleh!
So what happens is people keep dying and inch the flag forward bit by bit until it's in an open area other people can clearly see you and snipe you.. lame tactics.

2: Can we rotate our turrets? if not.. ahhhh why ?

This is all comparing it to TFC, I miss those things.
I think there's more but I forgot.


Fave class is now Demoman, kicks the backside of a HWG anyday unless it's a plain open area, which there's a lack of defending ;)

I'd like to know it this is possible too. In the short time I played the engi yesterday I thought I had found the rotate sentry button amongst all the laggy chaos around me...it turned out to be the detotate/dismantle sentry instead :o

That's why an engi builds a dispencer nearby which can resupply you with health, it's all about tactics!

There's a lot of teamwork that goes on amongst all the chaos.
 
you can rotate the Sentry gun via 2nd mouse button :) on the blueprint part before you place it
 
it sounds odd , but can someone explain the medic? i know you can heal people etc , but i don't get the charge o meter does it have to be full before you go uber?
 
Whilst we're asking questions, why do my rockets get charged every so often? I don't think it's the medic doing it as im not uber when it happens.
