Team Fortress 2. No.. really. - Page 102

I refuse to play Medic because no one on most servers understands that when I'm on the healgun, I CAN'T SHOOT, so they need to fucking defend me.

did you know...

banging on something you build with a wrench cuts the time it takes to build it in half? i just found that out....

Yeah you know.

Yeah I didn't mean in general. More of like when I'm out of stealth juice and need to avoid getting my ass raped. I'm convinced Vehn's early experience with being a super spy makes him have a great eye for it. He's also a non-retarded engineer unfortunately. Always placing his machines close to walls so when he works on them he can place himself out of backstab range. Love the engineers who let me take down their shit, then kill them, then I go into engineer, someone comes to me and I stab them.

One map I really don't like is the one we played tonight where you guys just sat up outside and when the gate opened just tossed tons of sticky bombs and shit down. I don't know if we ever successfully made a push out of there. It was a bad team, but still I never liked that area too much

So after playing most of the classes now, Soldier Spy and Engineer are easily my bests

As a spy, if playing a CP map, disguise as an engineer and cloak through their lines and show up behind them. 90% of the time, they won't even think twice as their team probably has tons of engineers that are heading to the front after picking up metal to build new sentries etc. That's when you start sappign enemy turrets and dispensers and knife their engineers when they aren't being covered. With that tactic, I went on a 20 kill streak + destroyed 8 turrets and dispensers.

Hey are there any reserved spots for the FoH server? And could I get added to the reserve list? Every time I try and join the servers its always full....

Eduardo · 10-13-2007, 09:06 AM

I put it on auto-retry, then join a custom map server until a slot opens up. The longest I've had to wait is about 15 minutes.

Good Lord yes. I just got the game and was looking forward to medicing my way to glory, but very few players on my teams were willing to help a doctor out.

Spies do this too to try to "blend in" you may want to consider that. It's actually one of those ways that make it a dead give away on some servers like FoH.

James · 10-13-2007, 10:14 AM

Yeah we were playing some 2fort the other day and some absolute carnage and mayhem was going on in the enemy base with our intelligence chilling right there, defending it at all costs. I had my healing gun out in fine fashion, one invuln, two invulns...it wasn't enough to keep us up, and it came down to myself and a demo man guarding it. I healed him like it was 1999, desperately trying to keep our intelligence down and out until the reset.

When the demo man popped out of his disguise and picked it up for the capture. That motherfucker.

Eumen · 10-13-2007, 10:17 AM

lmao, I know medic's have to get pissed when the guy they saved was a spy.

I've had so many shit talk me after they went and healed me right before I mowed down all the guys they were healing prior.

Dashal · 10-13-2007, 10:43 AM

Yeah spies can be rough if a good player is on them. Some of them though, how do you not see it's a spy? He's sapping the turrets and bumping into people producing the little smoke puff yet the engineers still ignore him and bang away on a new turret only to get backstabbed a second later.

I'm a little spy paranoid now that i've played them. I shoot and bump into everyone and dont like anyone running behind me.

Same here

Duppin · 10-13-2007, 12:22 PM

This game really, really needs a better way to prevent chronic team stacking, too.

Just logged off a server where the best player on the team I was on would've been in the bottom three of the other team.

So things would get autobalanced, the person would immediately go spectator until they could rejoin the "A team" again. This went on for like an hour.

IMO, if you get autobalanced, you shouldn't be able to change teams again without disconnecting from the server or something.

Stupidly unbalanced matches aren't fun for anyone but people that like to say "lol I went 20 and 2!" and don't realize that if the other team sucks (yes, me included) that that means absolutely nothing.
