Official TF2 Update Thread

slightly OT

but i want looking for servers that had received the update last night and playing the new map. As a result i ended up different servers that ive not played on before

i ended up on some clan server that after the restart just had about 3 of us on. It was somebodys clan server, and i went scout. And the guy from the clan was having a proper go at me claiming i was spoiling everybody elses fun by going scout and not to do it ?

I have to say, i detest this type of clan server. they think because tis there server everybody should play the way they want you to. And if you conistently woop their ass then you should change your class (not the other way round) so you dont beat them as much. For god's sake man. TF2 is a paper scissors rock game. If you're getting beaten by a particular class, then just change to the class that best suits attacking them. For example, if he'd gone Heavy i wouldnt have had a chance against him because he has too much health for me to kill him using a shotgun, whilst he can kill me in mere seconds.
 
Haven't played all week due to a rock hard exam I need to study for in April. Had said I'd not touch TF2 until after but can't let this update go on played :)

I nearly always play on the BFL server. Has plenty of custom maps and never seen anyone getting too prissy. :)

See, you had my sympathy till you said that lol :P Dirty Scouts >.>
 
Their is nothing wrong with scouts or any class for that matter, it's a well balanced game, there are plenty of other classes that can wipe out a scout in seconds such as a pyro, I think the guy on the server you were playing was just being an idiot, some people take the game too seriously.
 
thats what ive thought

ive always thought of TF2 as a paper scissors rock sort of game. Like you say, very blanaced. You just need to adapt your playstyle

If you have no medic and there arent many med kits in easy reach, you're fair game for pyro like you said. So i dont see the issue myself as to why they're considered "dirty" i mean, surely the soldier is just as easy to play considering you can take people out with splash damage, you dont even have to hit them ?

i play on that one too. there generally is a good atmosphere though i have had to mute some of their members to shut them up. the only problem is that some of the custom maps are rubbish and i hate being killed by someone who knows the map better than me!

Scout and HW are the easiest to play IMO because they have direct damage weapons. Just point and click and thats it. This is why I dont have much respect for them.


At least Soldiers and Demos have to work a little for their kills! Unless youre standing toe to toe with Soldier then its pretty easy for him and you deserve to die but at medium / long range, its hard to hit a moving target.


In my head, Scouts are there to attack, to cap points or to grab a flag. Theyre not supposed to be there to run around deathmatching which is what they can do with that shotgun and the crits it produces :\







That being said, thats just my opinion and I know everyones got their own.

I do agree that people who have a public TF2 server and try to tell you what to play should STFU but its hard to bite your tongue sometimes when youve got an army of Snipers on your team or an army of scouts when you should be defending!

i had that on the first stage of dustbowl last night, we were attacking and had 3 snipers in 11 of us and 1 medic. 1 is ok maybe but 3? standing the first point side of the tunnels?! needless to say we didn't win and the other team were laughing at the ridiculousness of the whole thing. i logged soon after!

whats wrong with scouts

is the scout to TF2 what the AWP is to CS or something ?

Their scatter gun is waay overpowered and crits every other shot causing them to actually do more damage than pretty much all the other offensive classes

they are designed so that n00bs who dont know how to play them can play and yet still get kills... but in the hands of someone that actually knows how to aim and use their speed properly they are waaay too good... when u see a scout and a pyro have a fight at point blank range and the scout wins it makes me cry

Very frustrating to get put down by a scout when your a pyro.

I'm mostly sniper, pyro and engie

Rubbish at medic hardly played as soldier. Scout, demoman and heavy if the map/situation dictates.
 
Geh, I'm gonna have to wait until tomorrow at least to play this. Oh well, it would be a bit rude not to go to my friends birthday do...

Oh and lets not start the whole which class sucks and rocks debate. No one can agree and it all gets angry.

PK!
 
Don't know how you're losing against a Scout as Pyro :p

Since the update has anyone noticed some lag?

Easy to lose really :/ Scout can easily keep his distance if he needs to


Pyro needs to keep aim on the Scout constantly where as the Scout only needs to aim each time he fires :\
 
I think one of the problems in tf2 is weapons variety, i mean most classes have the same secondary weapon that being the shotgun.

heavy has a shotgun
pyro has a shotgun
soldier has a shotgun
engineer has a shotgun (primrary)
scout has an upgraded shotgun (primrary)


Would be nice to see other options appear for some of these classes weapons that suited their personality or played off their first weapon instead of shotguns all over the show.
 
agreed, i personally would like the see the pyro be able to call in a naplamn strike

can imagine the scene when everybody on the ramparts in 2fort gets naplamed haha
