Hello. I have not been playing TF2 for very long. Only a matter of weeks, in fact. But I'm fairly sure that having three snipers all lurking on a two-foot-square hillock is not an optimal tactic. How do I discourage said sub-optimal tactics in teammates*?

*apart from calling them loving idiots, the loving idiots

You can also try some Goon-powered servers. Usually they're cool :v:

It should, but never will. Hats is the n°1 source of income from TF2 for Valve, if they add an option to disable them clientside, much less people would buy them.

What's a good way to learn to be a good spy? Beyond just playing the spy. I'm loving terrible at it but I recognise that in a lot of situations stalemates on pub servers could be resolved with a good spy.

The Spy training mode ? :downs:
More seriously, I learned most of my knowledge by playing other classes. To play spy well, you basically have to know the map well. Sentry placements, chokepoints etc.
Watching pros play is also good.

I've never really put that much time into demoman, generally preferring to play the more "all-round" classes like soldier, scout and to a lesser extent pyro. While I can output decent damage with pipes and stickies, I'm nowhere near consistent with either, and my sticky jumping could do with a bit of work too. Seeing what some people at the top of the game can do with demoman is pretty inspiring though, so I'm planning to put a lot more hours into the class and see how much I can improve.



Time to get good at demonstration man. :clint:

Welcome to the world, dude. Demo really is a great class, and even more when you master it.
You can easily turn a game around with well placed explosives, and you also can switch to LnL Demoknight, it's really fun. By the way, it's easily my favorite class. It improves my aim, and I can easily finish someone off if I need to reload. I'm not totally useless either, as the LnL is deadly against most Engie nests.

There'd better be a boss as fun as Merasmus, a capture mechanic as cool as the roulette, and an environmental hazard as rad as the bottomless pit or I'll brand the map a failure. :colbert:

Here's the problem about the comic: it doesn't give any opportunity of a "teamwork" boss. I certainly can see the enemy brother's ghost screwing with you if you push the theoretical cart, but no "big" boss.

I haven't read all the comics but have they mentioned the Soldier's name before? I know the Demoman's is everywhere and even has weapons named after it, but this is the first time I've heard Barrister Doe before.

Jane Doe. Wow, you're right, it's different.

If you want to really have fun on Helltower, get your mini-sentries up and ready. The reactions of the people will be priceless. One mod threatened me to stop or I'd get banned (I crashed just after that so I can't say if he was serious or not)

This seems like a good time to bring this up:

Well before this update since about july when I started playing on it, I've noticed the mac version of TF2 lets me play for about 1-2 hours, and then freezes and crashes. This happens literally every time. Might be a memory leak glitch or something. (Fortunately 1-2 hours of play is usually enough.)

I'm on Windows and I have this problem, so I don't think it's relevant :sigh:

That sucked, I missed a chance to get a present because the Skeleton King spawned on top of it and some how didn't trigger collecting it. Thought something was odd when I respawned with no new items, but then get a message saying the gift vanished. So I have to wait a hour now to get another chance?

Hey at least you're lucky, it didn't happen 3 times in a row

Weird how broken that "gamemode" is though.

First to 3 spycrabs.. loses? It should be first to 3 wins.

Because this way if you stop pressing taunt for even 0.1s between each, there's no visible difference but you still have a few seconds of advantage at the end. It should be first to 3 wins so you have to mash as fast as you can for it to be valid. Dumb choice on the part of whoever came up with it :v:

They wait for eachother after each taunt. There's no advantages to be fast anyways.

"Dalokohs" is "Shokolad" spelled backwards. Shokolad is the Russian word for chocolate. It even sounds a bit like the word chocolate.

It really depends on the situation. On Offense it's usually not that good, but on Defense, man, it wrecks everything.
