Do this.

huh

that's
actually cutting back on a lot of things



I mean, it runs perfectly, although with low-res textures
it has a really nice framerate and all
and the only lag I experience is purely from my wireless internet

but if I do all that, then my laptop won't give me the whole "pool memory" issues, right?

lol I play TF2 on a laptop and I have no problems whatsoever

[Keychain]

TF2 got an update with some unmentioned things.

2 class specific items = 1 scrap now
also kritzkrieg + bonk = crit-a-cola

---

also razorback + chargin' targe = gunboats

---

RUMOR: 2 bonks + batter's helm = bonk helm

[Skink]

Fuck. Keychain beat me to it.

[Keychain]

2 bonks + batters helm = bonk helm is confirmed

---

equalizer + eyelander = homewrekcer

[Cobalt Blue]

its like playing power stone 2 all over again

[FRET]

MATH

IN MY TF2

get out of here, crackers

[Roborunt]

Sandman + Scrap Metal = Pain Train

although if there is something like that for the bonk helmet, that raises the question of what other hat combinations there could be.

So, queefs! Anyone want to help me suck less?
I am computer'd now but having only played tf2 for like four hours total, I suck kind of a lot.
So I could do with playing with people who aren't gonna act like they have the biggest dick ever because LOL UR A N00B
which is too often the case on public servers

:c

I would but I only know how to not suck as Medic, and the basics of that is mastering the skill of running away.

EDIT: Public servers, where Soldiers do not realise they have a shotgun, nor do they realise that they need to aim kind of public servers?

[Chutzpar]

I actually think Medic would suit me the best! I played around a bit with everyone but medic
and sucked with them
and running away is definitely a strength of mine. ¦D

Medic Strategy:

-Find top scorer
-Heal him if he's a Soldier/Heavy
-Only heal other people if they're nearly dead and right next to you
-Run around like an idiot.
-When your medic buddy is moving forward, follow him, but facing backwards.
-Spam Voice commands/Mic if you see something coming towards you.

Medic Strategy in shorthand:
-Find top scorer, heal him
-Be second on the board

[Kitsu]

-Only heal other people if they're nearly dead and right next to you

As someone who plays Medic a lot, this is the only one I disagree with. You should do your best to heal anyone nearby who isn't buffed (especially if you're the only Medic), though it is extremely important to be very protective of the really good players (e.g. latch onto them when their health is low or when you have an uber). But yeah, if you heal everybody, especially people with damage, you'll get ubercharge faster.

The other thing I noticed is that if you consistently keep everyone alive, you'll likely be signiificantly higher on the scoreboard than everyone else, including the top scorer (provided everyone joined the server at about the same time).

And running away is something I noticed I do a lot, especially when I have a high ubercharge. Also, if you're running away, and you have a full uber, and you're in great danger, use the uber; you'll not only be saving yourself, but someone on your team might run around the corner and you might be able to turn that defensive uber into an offensive one.

[Skink]

I play mostly competitive Scout and offensive Engineer. Those are my two main classes to play.

[Rosencrantz]

idk

when I started, I went with the Engineer
defensive Engineer

while it's incredibly boring to sit back and camp your sentry, I learned a ton of things that helped me play TF2 better with other classes.

Namely, where regular sentry locations tend to pop up (and what classes are good to clear them out), and how to constantly spy-check
