Title: The Official Valve Games Thread
Post by: TequilaClock on October 16, 2009, 11:11:29 PM
MOD EDIT: Guys, this thread is now for all valve games, rather than just TF2. Rather than making a separate thread every time someone wants to get together a group for any valve game other than TF2, organize all matches for all valve games here.  This thread is also to be used for discussion of valve games (updates, news, trailers, videos, etc..)

So... I have been playing more a month or so already. This shit is fucking cocaine.

And apparently I have been blowing a lot of shit up as a Sniper.

So far I know that Marlin, Floppy, GameSlave, AirPump, Bolt, Polyhedron and Tricky play very frequently. Does anyone else have an account so we stick up?

hide and go seek.

half the team is scouts but the player models are replaced with random props from the level, and they have like 40 seconds to find an inconspicuous spot. then the other team, which is all pyros, and sometimes like one or two heavies, has the remainder of the time to try to find and kill all the scouts.

it would be easy for the pyros except firing your weapon does damage to you (you can die from it) so they can't just shoot everything. (the heavy can, especially if he has a sandvich, but the props don't get set on fire by heavies, so yeah.)

I understand, the hardest part of the game is simply being better than the other player, and the only way to match that is on live servers. But this could work on planning new tactics or refine my aiming.

Just technical stuff, all the strategy is made when the situations happen in the game.
Title: The Official Valve Games Thread
Post by: PowerGloveClock on November 11, 2009, 10:10:14 AM
the best way to train for sniper is to never use the smg. even if the enemy is a few feet away try to headshot them, if they get too close kill them with the kukuri. its kind of hard to tell when you're too close though because i've gotten headshots on people while i was practically touching them.
Title: The Official Valve Games Thread
Post by: Marlin Clock on November 11, 2009, 11:35:27 AM
Yeah, I use the razorback so I have spy insurance. However, if they get too close for comfort, yet too far away for the kukri, I usually just try to noscope them.
Title: The Official Valve Games Thread
Post by: TequilaClock on November 11, 2009, 06:01:48 PM
I am used to be with the razorback and kukri all the time; it's such a great melee weapon, but lately I tried to move forward in trying to get back to the SMG. I am sort of an assist killer when I see my team is full of worthless snipers that just stay there on the ceiling without trying to take the capture point. I hate them.
Title: The Official Valve Games Thread

My mastery of Kukri Fu is known far across the land, the only things that can effectively block it are rockets, miniguns, and FANs.
And if you're good, you stay away from scouts and heavies and strafe around soldiers.

truth be told, a good spy never has any real chance against a good team

i mean whenever you play spy you always notice the 1-3 good people that ruin your infiltration ambitions against the other team whereas a team of 3+ good people is quite impossible to infiltrate.

It's much harder to continually stop a spy in arena, though. Every round's a fresh start. I know this guy named ghost, he can get 4 kills a round easy, he's got the skills of a sniper with his ambassador and he can get away with using the dead ringer upwards to like 7 times in certain scenarios.

Title: The Official Valve Games Thread
Post by: Marlin Clock on November 15, 2009, 07:18:42 PM
Idno why I like arena so much, I guess it's because it's the mode where the sniper can make the most difference for a team. Sometimes I'll end up with 6 kills, and on average I can get 2, but it's usually I get at least 2 or I die before I get the chance.

Also, biggest numbers always come from Ravine and Well. Next highest is Granary and Lumberyard, Badlands is okay, and I don't even touch the others as a sniper.
Nucleus/Lookout I play Battle Medic, Sawmill I play Soldier, and Offblast I try to avoid at all costs, it's a horrible map.

Come to think of it though, it's been a while since I've played a good game of 2fort, thats another one where snipers can get big numbers.

I downright hate snipers and why they exist

they contribute hardly anything to the gameplay and any difference or effect their presence does could be had by any other class and with much more fun as a sideeffect

enemy team has a HWG and medic, oh sure sniper could kill the medic... or just be a medic and suddenly we have an awesome fight on our hands

snipers just whore out kills and gay about imo



arena is nice but once again its all about how BAD the other people are, a good spy is a pain in the ass but if your team is good he usually dont stand a i chance... just keep moving like youre paranoid and check your back every godamn moment
also coming out of stealth makes sounds which is a pain

Sounds like you just have encounters with bad 12 year-old wusses.

Ever got that case of THAT Level 3 sentry or spamming Demo that is not letting you pass by any chance? Snipers are there to take them down as it is very hard to do it in a close range. Bad snipers also forget they have a kukri to defend themselves in a sniper/spy duel.

I never play sniper where sniping isn't fruitful, thus why I keep it to certain maps, like how I'd never play sniper on offense in Payload but I can be pretty useful sniping when I'm the defender. And I really am useful on arena. Say you have a heavy/medic bearing in on an engie base near spawn, give me time to charge up and it'll be dead in the water.

it really doesn't matter how useful a sniper is to their team, because sniper hate boils down to one thing: nobody likes to get killed by someone they don't have any way to fight against.

the fact that a bunch of them are camping tards that don't contribute anything to their team is just icing on the cake

Whatcha think these betrayals are about? Who is that him she mentions?

I have a theory that they will add a feature in which the game detects if two enemies are talking to each other in the Steam IM application. Others say that this is about a Christmas truce. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_truce)

Oh by the way, did I mention that you can use Travis god damn Touchdown to replace the Scout?

Valve has a long history of hiring moders or paying them for their ideas at least. Team Fortress itself was originally a mod. left for dead was a mod of counterstrike and counterstrike was a mod of some other game. Portal was a digipen project.

For some reason my imagination lapsed into his mom having a Jamaican accent.


I'm getting a bit uncomfortable with the level of backstory they're starting to pump into the series.

I'm also confused as to how it totally goes against his Meet the Class backstory.
QuoteA fierce temper, a fascination with all things explosive, and a terrible plan to kill the Loch Ness Monster cost the six year old Demoman his original set of adoptive parents. Later, back at the Crypt Grammar School for Orphans near Ullapool in the Scottish Highlands, the boy's bomb-making skills improved dramatically. His disposition and total number of intact eyeballs, however, did not.

if you use a sword that automatically decapitates and a shield that adds a charge attack instead of the bottle and stickies you pm change demos into a completely different class. neither of those things are even tangentially related to demos from a gameplay standpoint.

having demos on your team that can't sticky jump, take out well-placed engineer buildings (demolish.), or hold off multiple enemies indefinitely means needing twice as many demos on your team.

He'll still have the grenade launcher.

Plus you can give him the sword and not the shield if you want.

I think this was just valves answer to people wanting a melee specific class without adding a whole new character to the game.

My point is that if you're not in the mood to demo camp, it doesn't matter if the weapon exists or not, you won't. If you ARE in the mood to demo camp, you're going to do it, it doesn't matter if the weapon exists or not.

say we need a particularly damnable sentry nest taken out, or an enemy heavy über repelled by explosives, or a bottle neck held while we charge an über. if I look at the class list and see we have 3 demos on a 12 man team, with this update that no longer means anything.

it also means the demoman class misses out on a potential, potentially useful alternative weapon set.
rather than being built to approach situations that call for a demo from different angles (as, y'know, all the other classes got in their respective updates) the melee set encourages approaching different situations in which the demo wouldn't otherwise be called for.

just seems like a bad call to me.

i can agree with that. because before you use "grenade launcher".

Title: The Official Valve Games Thread
Post by: Wind-up Clock on December 15, 2009, 11:55:31 AM
actually, it does close the range gap that less skilled demos have. The demo doesn't have a mid-range hitscan weapon like everyone else does. If you're an ordinary demo, you just have a long-range weapon, a longer-ranged weapon, and a short range weapon (discounting the skilled demos who can airshot people with nades and blow up scouts at point-blank). It could also boost the demoman's defensive capability besides laying down sticky traps.

I'd like to see a scout try to heckle a demoman now with the shield. Plus the shield kinda works like an instant aggro bomb- the demoman charging a contested point will draw all fire towards him, freeing up other teammates to open fire.

also: Uber/Kritz/Uber+Kritz Targe Charge plus Eyelander will probably make everyone shit their pants.

and two weeks later, we'll hear TARGE IS OP, NERF EYELANDER, BAAAAW

Sometimes melee is a legitimate strategy. I play a berzekerish-sniper and people never see it coming half the time. Melee can be a viable option as long as you know when to use it.

It's why I hate the FaN so much, or just momentum-robbing weapons in general. It's such bullshit that a melee rush can be beat so easily.

Really? I didn't play demo much before the war, but I've found that he works best at short range, assuming that there's just enough of a gap that the opponent can't hit him. I find that I get most of my kills at nearly point-blank range with the grenades.

Part of the humour of TF2 is derived from the sheer rediculousness and inexplicability of the whole situation of the game. They seem to be taking that approach with the backstory. I hope they don't get too deep into it though. The whole charm of TF2 is that you can tell the development team doesn't take themselves seriously at all. They're just out to make a fun game.

And make money too, but you know, they give fun a higher priority than usual.

Yeah, generally my Uber Priorities vary.

If it's a small way where everybody crowds their sentries and stuff, like Dustbowl map 1, second capture, i go for a Pyro or demoman.

But at other times i use demoman/heavy.

For kritzkrieg, Soldier, then Demoman, then Heavy for his spread against enemies.

Demoman can pretty much benefit well from both as long as he has the right place to spam crit stickies.

I actually use it as my running away weapon, but it'll need to be changed soon anyway, seriously.

Forget all star arena soldiers with the direct hit, i took one person out and god stuck in the blast range, and i took out another 5 with my equalizer in the same area of lumberyard. Considering how fast you go with it and the damage you do. As long as they don't see you coming they're fucked.

As some of you maybe have experienced, once you achieve any of the milestones when the backpack/steam server is down, you won't receive your new item/unlock.

Didn't get my Direct Hit on 2nd Soldier Milestone for example.
That's because you don't receive items on reaching milestones anymore, I thought.  You know, picking shit up randomly...

The only hat I have is the Cheater's Lament.

:( I want hats.

I'm not usually one to complain that an item is overpowered, but Direct hit needs a nerf. 150 damage on a direct shot is too much, that kills a bunch of the classes in a single hit!

Honestly it's great enough with the 80% increased speed and lowered splash but I think the damage is too high.

Not really, because the damage boost is rewarded for being able to hit them directly.
Heavy has enough health to take one, scouts are too fast to et a half decent shot on.
Just keep moving and the direct hit isn't much of a problem.


As for hats, i only have the Scouts batter's hat that is a single class hat, the only pother i have is ghastly gibus that i wear on my demoman 24/7

Technically if you are at a certain range from someone with the direct hit, it's literally impossible to dodge it because of how far you can move in the time frame and the size of your hitbox.

So "just keep moving" is a pretty ridiculous suggestion.

Pyros can airblast, though. So at least they stand a bit of a chance.

Spy is still my absolute favorite class and in my opinion the most OP in Arena etc. UNLESS the entire other team is good and has 2+ Pyros.

It is not as versitile in other gameplay mods but still great and impossible to ever kill if played right.

Cloak and Dagger is worse on every level of skill.

If you're good with Dead Ringer (as I percieve myself to be) you can easily get over 32 - 1 in score (as I frequantly do.)

67 - 0 is my highest so far.
Just remember ammo packs restore it so if yer burning/using it, remove, pick up, enable : 2 Dead Ringer.

Quote from: Steve;1717013I call pure luck on those, you must certainly run into those god damn pyro's who just burn their entire flamethrower ammo just because someone yells "spy!"

Nah thats why I said 2+ GOOD pyros. A shitty pyro is easy to shoot to death with Revolver and Dead Ringer. A good one is harder still but still easy if the map has alot of space. You have to remember that you can use the Dead Ringer up to 3-4 times on some maps by going to 1 ammo pack after the other and enabling it; Thus removing fire/persuers/danger.

Combat spy is highly underrated, sure I like to backstab but good Snipers/Engineers/Pyros/Scouts are second to impossible to stab so you shoot them. 3+ shoots usually do it and when you can fake death and run to a ammopack/medic/engineer/out-of-danger you have the upper hand 90% of the time.

BUT, as I said before; If you face an entire team of good players Spy is still playable as combat spy but loses it's value since you can hardly backstab anyone. You can still be a good asset to the team by going defence and stabbing attackers but those times I usually just go Soldier etc.

You'd be surprised. Most of them don't see it coming. It's usually a situation where they only have enough time to get one shot off at best before I can kukri. Also, it's easier than you think to predict scout movements sometimes, so I just follow patterns and know when to swipe.

Yeah I don't get how this can be hard to understand, it sucks at anything BUT antiscout since nothing is good against good scouts other than a team with HWG + Natascha or more scouts with ScatterGun.

FoN is ranged Backstabb 90% of the time and I like it in arena, however NOT if the enemy team has alot of Scattergun Scouts (That are good, else FoN is instant kill on them.)

FoN is quite nabbish but extremely effective if used right.

Arena maps are different, you gotta get rid of all the other team, so you cant just leave yourself open just to run down a DRer that there's no guarantee of getting.

Actually Direct Hit (soldiers new wep) oneshoots you if it's a crit even with full hp and dead ringer. I noticed that once and cursed random crits in arena.

Also very VERY few people utilize Dead Ringer as good as it can be but once they do you're fucked unless you have some good pyros and/or good teammates.

I love it due to the fact that VERY few people know how to play spy and DR is nice but only great with people who know how to handle it, but if you whine on that go whine on great snipers who "backstabb" people in the face across the map. Sure they're static but I met a good Sniper+Medic combo and they were whore hard to kill much like a Pyro+Medic pair. Always doable but challanging.

Point being; Spies do not have the best K:D ratio on statistics mostly because most spies suck as spying. So the few that are good as just as bad as other classes be it Scout, Sniper, Demoman or DH Soldier.

Yeah I know, facing a DR spy as a DR spy is hilarious.
And it's especially OP when capping stuff since you can cap with the Dead Ringer enabled and the second someone fires anything ; Yer gone.

I admit it is a frustrating tool but it is balanced if you have your own teammates who are good players.

Yeah you can get luck-stabbed, but a sniper/scout/soldier/demoman can do that just as well.

I also have a small beef with the ambassador for not allowing any time for evasive maneuvers while scoped, revolver gives you just enough time to strafe since it usually takes three shots from that. However, this usually only happens in Well and that's not that big of a problem if you have a team that actually spy checks.

Brag time.

I just beat a 3v1 in Arena Well. First kill was an engie right after my last teammate died. Then, the two soldiers were cappin the point, so I bodyshot one of them to bring it down to 1v1. After that, I go through the water to try and avoid him and he takes the bait and goes off the cp for a bit. After he went back on the cp, I tried to shoot him too, but I missed. Then, I realized I didn't have enough time to chance it on another shot, so I rushed with the kukri, for some reason the soldier didn't see me coming, I go up, block the cap, and kukri him to death. Also, by the time I had to leave I was #1 on my team.

Awesome map.

Or say... a spy, which atleast have to risk getting close.


Point is, a sniper can 99.99% of the time be replaced with another class to make the game more fun and/or combative.

Enemy medic/hwg? Then go hwg/medic and team up with someone else.


The only thing they ad is paranoia on open spaces and the need to hjump around like you got an antfarm in yer arse.

Yeah basically. I main medic and it's very frustrating because I'm a prime target for pretty much every enemy team member but specifically spies and snipers. Nothing more frustrating than getting headshotted by some kid camping across the map without even the opportunity to fight back. I can hold my own pretty well and I kill spies/ w+m1 pyros all the time as medic, which is okay. I don't really mind getting killed by a GOOD spy either, it takes a hell of a lot of skill to play spy well and I don't have any hard feelings about getting backstabbed. But getting sniped is pretty different.

Also there's nothing more satisfying than airblasting jarate back at a sniper and then killing his bitch ass.

You're making it sound like Snipers have magic bullets, we still have to have good aim to be effective snipers. You guys just cry 'cause you can't dodge. Also, I've stated many times already that I'm never afraid to get up close and personal.

The problem is that when someone is bad sniper you won't eve notice him because he can't land a shot, it takes some serious skills for a good aim

I had a good sniper run recently on the first map on Goldrush as BLU.

http://www.steampowered.com/status/tf2/tf2_stats.php

Fifth played class out of 9 classes.

That's alot of Snipers.
I don't know how many times I've been instant shooted by a Huntsman/Sniper on some maps even when the shoot was not ment for me.

Point is, I can dodge, but fate does not cast die and sometimes they get their lucky dasterd shoots.
A good sniper you can't even like because he is such a tosser, a bad sniper is a freekill with the possibility to random killing you (huntsman max load in closecombat = dead spy most of the time).
A good spy atleast risks something, a bad spy is a joke. Yeah they can get lucky aswell but once again they have to get in close and hopefully you're not blind enough to not spin around every third second.

This is quite true, I'm not saying sniper is a skillless class, I'm saying that it doesn't really belong in the game.

And Marlin, I can jump/strafe at the same time so my medic looks like he's having a fucking seizure, I still get shot very very often. Good snipers know how to predict where a head is going to be regardless of what the enemy is doing to evade. And it's not like he really HAS to make the first shot unless the enemy is about to round a corner.

Not in ARENA most of the time but whenever I play Dustbowl or whatever 2 snipers is enough to ruin the fun because they kill every damn pusher in our team.

Strategic perhaps, but also extremely boring. Just throw in 2 HWGs defending instead that would be great.

You need HWG/Soldiers/Pyros to blitz forward and kill sentries/enemy groups on maps such as Dustbowl.

With 2+ snipers and atleast 1 less than bad soldier/pyro HWGs get raped constantly.
Meh I don't think I explained it right but either way, just remove the Snipers and throw in a pyro/soldier/hwg instead and it would be so much more fun and chaotic.

well, I concur with the use of excessive snipers, but sometimes you have to win some ground, and snipers make a vital key on eliminating prime targets, when there is about 3 snipers it's just dumb

Maybe my problem is that I don't know how it is outside 2fort and arena. I know how bad sniping can get in 2fort, but I'm not really sure about the other maps.

In arena maps snipers are sorta there for cover fire at the start of the round. Once the first few seconds are through, then you gotta secure your location at all times, because people will sneak up on you from everywhere in most arena maps. Ravine is the worst with that, the base roof is such a choice nest, but spies can find their way to it far too easily.

"Fine" depends on your definition. I find spy a abusive class and it is my favorite one. Thing is it is only abusive when in the hands of someone who can utilize it.
Much like sniper.

I still withold that a bad sniper is always worse than a bad spy. A bad sniper just ruins the game that 1/8 times it gets its lucky headshoot.

Still don't mind it amazingly much but it just feels out of place in the chaotic combat of which is TF2.

So I was on this Viking server today and I really like the map but the admin was such a douchebag. The server had this censorship rule, so I told him it was pretty lame and he got all offended and we got into this big debate. I made reasonable, logical arguments while he stuck to ad hominem, so of course it was a curbstomp, but the admin didn't like that so he silenced me. I'm not a pussy, so I kept playing, and when I came up against his character he smote me, then gloated about it. What a dick. The irony was that he was accusing me of being stupid and immature the whole time. What a hypocrite.

Anyway, long story short, I reported him for misconduct.

The Medic is one of my favorite classes along the Sniper and the Scout, but I have found it very hard to be successful with the Blutsauger. However the Ubersaw is one of the best melee weapons ever. I always try to find the best moment to use it. Some classes like to get too close to me for being a medic, and its kind of a stereotype that I am an easy target for that.

Okay so I'm looking to organize another CC TF2 event, and I need to know what times people are available. I'm not necessarily looking for specific dates, but something like "after 6 pm on the weekends EST (GMT-5)" would be helpful.

They killed my equalizer, it no longer increases damage when injured, only speed. The whores, damn thing doesn't even make sense anymore. Now it's not the equalizer, it's the flee-qualizer. Hey I should tell them that.

Finally, I'll have nothing to fear when I go demoknight. The death of the injured soldier only builds upon my headcount.

Also, the new Sam&Max items look pretty cool, too bad I probably won't get it though :[.

Wait, seriously? I gotta check that myself because the equalizer was a great sidekick and a reason why I have been maining as Soldier lately. And it's already hard to pull out kills with so little HP.

Well some months ago Valve released some user generated stuff as official items in the random drop system, they are pretty cool.

For example, the pyro got a sledgehammer named "The Homewrecker" which works for destroying buildings like dispensers and teleporters, though very tricky if you try with a sentry of course. There are also custom hats like a welding mask for the engineer.

EDIT: Woah, apparently the Homewrecker can destroy sappers in friendly buildings now.

Quote from: Admiral Gaybaby;1752275You know, the funny thing about the pyro was it was something new players could jump right in and start playing with and actually getting a few kills. Now that they've severely nerfed the damage (the flamethrower now does essentially less damage than the shotgun) and made it so that only the backburner does normal damage, that means that everyone out there going for trying out pyro is going to be wielding the gimp flamethrower with the fire axe by default.

Pretty much any heavy they encounter was already going to just pulp them, even before the pyro got nerfed and the heavy got buffed. The only real hope for killing a heavy worth his salt as pyro at this point is either to A.) catch one that's completely distracted from behind with the backburner or  B.) Puff and axtinguish

I found myself using the normal axe more than the axtinguisher to be honest. If you set someone on fire from behind, you're going to get a face full of hurt from whatever you're attacking pretty quick. But if you go normal axe on them from behind, they'll be less prone to turn around. Setting them on fire seems to get their attention more than a melee hit if you have the advantage, but even then you can airblast them while you escape.

The thing is that now it's less about the flamethrower being the only thing determining skill and now it's about using your full arsenal (airblast, shotgun, maybe even axe), and it forces new players to actually use more than their flamethrower if they want to succeed, instead of the simple "run into them -> they die" logic the old flamethrower gave them

20% damage isn't that much if you now have the ability to keep them in your grasp longer
Title: The Official Valve Games Thread
Post by: Slurpee on May 18, 2010, 03:38:33 PM
when I'm fighting pyros, I want them to be my worst nightmare coming around the corner.
it's more fun when my instinct is to bolt just to get away from their fire stick, and know that I'm taking a risk sticking around.
it's not fun at all when even if they do set me on fire, a lot of the time I can still kill them, scamper off, and find a healing item.
(was anybody seriously upset with pyros being good at their most obvious purpose?)

also the reflection buff makes tactical pyros pretty much unstoppable 1v1 if they know you're there and you're playing soldier w/buff banner (instead of shotgun) and that's really annoying
because really does anybody honestly want any class but soldier or heavy (or I guess snipers w/huntsman) to be good at mid-range head-on fighting? (if so you're dumb.) and they fucking almost never actually kill me with the reflects, we just chip away on each other's health until another class shows up and I'm just completely aware of how dumb it is the entire time. the pyro in that situation used to just charge straight at me until one or both of us were dead. what crappened?

also when I played pyros before the update, I'd reflect things on a regular basis, by virtue of it looking cool. now everybody's doing it, and the other fuckers are adapting, and my gay macintosh mouse is too hip and ironic to let me press right-click and left-click in rapid succession, and I'm not gonna re-map secondary fire because I already tried that in gmod and it's fucking cumbersome, so basically I suck at pyro after being totally awesome at it. pyro was my go-to class for when I didn't really care about what was happening but still wanted a decent score so my team wouldn't notice how much of a useless prick I was being. and now all that is fading, like tears in the rain

tl;dr the pyro nerf/buff was worse than the holocaust
Title: The Official Valve Games Thread
Post by: SockpuppetClock on May 18, 2010, 03:57:48 PM
Bah, I find the reflection buff completely negates the damage nerf, and as sad as may seem that the flamethrower doesn't work as a standalone gun anymore, using it in harmony with your secondary works extremely well.

I find that DOT doesn't matter if you figure out how to not suicide rush only, since afterburn has always been more of a final touch to my kills rather than the only thing hurting them. I don't feel bothered that I can't hit and run as well, although I know some people tended to do that as their only tactic.

Quote from: Admiral Gaybaby;1752314Congrats, if you skillfully use all your weapons in the right combination you can be almost as effective as classes that don't have to waste time switching between them to get the same effect. Better hope no one else is good at the other classes.
That's the same thing that happened before the Pyro got changed!! I don't think Pyro will ever have it easy.

The Pyro is now less about damage output only and more about control, which I personally like

Post by: PolyhedronClock on May 19, 2010, 03:29:22 AM
Quote from: Admiral Gaybaby;1752298Well to be fair if you have the airblast then what you do is ignite them, airblast them up in the air or into a corner, and axtinguish them on the way down. But if you're using the fire ax over the flamethrower, that's just all the more proving my point that the flamethrower is gimp to the extreme, especially when the airblast becomes the primary feature rather than the secondary one.

Yeah, when I find myself doing that, I normally just open on them if I have the element of suprise with the axe, and when they turn around try to light them once then airblast them away while I run for cover, maybe shoot at them with the shotgun/flaregun if they have nothing I can reflect at them. I miss being a terror around the corner though :|

Technically, if both of you keep in range and constantly hit each other, the Pyro will win, with plenty of leeway in favor of the Pyro even if their aim isn't too good.

Quote from: TrickyClock;1753117Yet I still don't get why the people equip the Backburner since its attributes are pretty much worthless as you need to go behind the enemy lines to do massive damage as you stated. It's also completely useless of neutralizing Uberchares and blast off flames from teammates since it doesn't have the great Compression Blast attribute.
That kinda ability can be useful in arena fights where you can take all the crits you can get, but I'm always talking about things that basically only have a use in arena fights.

Quote from: MarlinClock;1754252In all honesty, if someone is a better sniper than me we can test that, I can always be soldier or something if need be.

Questionmarks next to uncertain positions.

So far we got(at least for preferences sake):

Medic:Screwdriver?
Heavy: Sobe
Pyro:Sockpuppet
Sniper: Me or Tequila?
Soldier: Me or Tequila?
Scout: Tequila?
Spy: Bolt?
Engineer: Topcatyo
Demoman: ???
???: Sillyputty
???: English

I know this looks weird, but I started with class on the side and at this point I'll be damned if I have to reverse the whole thing.

I guess I'll be a Spy since SockPuppet's taking Pyro. High ping seems to give me an advantage sometimes ;) (as long as I don't get kicked).

Should we just have this as a first come first serve kinda thing? I'm wondering how we should handle alternates, I mean we don't even have a Demoman yet.
 We could always have same-class people alternate or something.

Now that I think about it, I think this is a european league, so it might benefit us having europeans play, but idno seeing as most of the team alread up there now is living in America

I mean, I could always try out Demoman and so Tequila could be a sniper and Yo-Yo could be a soldier, gah organization is trickier than I thought it'd be.

Hand forged in the bowels of a Chinese Sweatshop by a lone inanimate Screwdriver, the Clock Crew Team Fortress 2 Spray Pack For Outstanding Individuals is finally available for the masses! Just download the zip file, and place the files into your sprays folder.

Don't have a sprays folder yet? You're a LOSER and should feel BAD, but thats okay. Just go to your Steam folder in Program Files, open the "SteamApps" folder, then the one with your Steam ID. Then go into the Team Fortress 2 Folder, "TF", "Materials" and then create a folder called VGUI and inside it one called "Logos". Place the sprays in there and you're GOOD TO GO.

But that's besides the point. Have any of you knowingly ran into CC members on other servers?

Oh and I finally got the CC server to work, but now it no longer appears in my server list? Is it down or something?

All servers are present to everyone, but of course there may be very-high/unreachably-high ping levels on some servers compared to other people if they are too far away or too bad of a connection outside their general area.

It seems like this is going to be a weapon strictly for camp engies. If I get its abilities and limitations right, it seems like someone's gonna have to keep guard of the engie as he does this. I'm confused as to how the interface changes, does the engie stand still while controlling it (ala the Command Melody from Windwaker?) and point of view changes to the sentry?
Title: The Official Valve Games Thread
Post by: Nightmare Clock on July 06, 2010, 10:06:39 PM
Why would you have to switch to the sentry's point of view? All you'd have to do is stand where you can see the sentry.

Looks pretty simple to me.
Aim the Wrangler the way you would aim any shotgun or pistol, aim it where you want your corresponding (and close by) Sentry to shoot.
It's not gonna be 1st person, so therefore you won't need defended.
Since you're essentially aiming your sentry in the first damn place.

HEY GUYS I GOT ALL THE UNLOCKS AND THEY'RE PRETTY FUCKING GREAT.
The new shotgun lets you get some actual combat and it feels so damn good being able to kill the sucka who destroyed your sentry.
The Wrangler just makes engineer so much more interesting, pistol is cool and all but shooting with the sentry is awesome as. It hasn't got a limited range but it's not as accurate as you might expect.
The mechanical hand is fun as well and the new sentry guns that you get with the hand are so convenient. Sure they are weak and break easily and can't be repaired but there is a great satisfaction in throwing one up and watching it shoot down an enemy or two and then take some turkeys out with your revenge crits.
I think it's the best update yet.

i play with the old, no AI bots when i'm trying for achievements. mainly because you can actually manipulate them and intentionally get achievements. back during the soldier v demo update i was doing all sorts of crazy shit like having bots build sentries and dispensers and teleporting bots wherever i needed them.

Practice with bots a bit when you want to try out a new class/weapon/strategy, so you get a feel for it before you go out into the public servers.

Also after a few weeks of playing this game you should have enough items, they drop like once an hour a few times a week.

Sorry guys.

However, registration just started yesterday, so we should have time to register now. We'll probably have to split into two teams, though. Maybe have one team's call-sign be Clock and the other's be (>)?

Thing y'all are gonna need to realize about this one is that it'll probably be 6v6, so we'll have to do standard 6v6 team structures when playing.

We can make the mold flexible. It's just that it seems like the MDSoSoScSc formula works well. We can always replace a soldier with a heavy or a scout with an engie if we wanna build a defense. We don't need to abide to that standard as far as I know, it's just that it might be good for us to do so.

Quote from: ETF2LEven though this is an European league we will welcome players from  other regions with open arms. We will even try to place you into the  same groups to ease the process of  scheduling matches with your  opponents. Against European opponents however, you will have to play on  European servers at European times. The usual playing time for ETF2L  matches is Sunday’s from 20:00-21:30 CET. Make sure you are willing to  (and can!) play at such times and on European servers before you sign  up.

Man Heavy is so overpowered it's hilarious. It's my least played class, but I always have it to fall back on in case my team is losing. A Natascha Heavy or two with a medic can completely roll the other team, and the only counter are a large group working together to take him down (good luck in Public servers) or a Sasha Heavy with a pocket medic. It's not just Natascha being a magical bullet hose that traps people and slowly drains their health, Heavy's spinup is so high he doesn't have to pick his engagement and is in no danger from the front, his increased revspeed means he can stay spun up and only needs to aim roughly at his opponent and press M1 to destroy them, without the threat of being strafed.

TL;DR Heavy needs a nerf, Natascha needs a nerf, and Valve says they're working on it but I want to complain anyway

Does anyone have a list of unlocks that the ETF2L has banned? I'm pretty sure Natascha is banned (as it should be) but because they're European and therefore gay didn't they also ban other shit like the sandman and the Wrangler?

Also I guess we should practice for this thing or something, even if we don't have a full team yet.

In lighter news, the server I went to tonight had those birthday beachballs that were fun to play with.

Scout's seems OP with no drawback.

Soldier's pretty good.  More Defensive, but that's not a bad thing.

Pyro's pack is interesting, although lots of weapons have no Random Crit Hits nowadays, and some in this pack with health regeneration.  Shouldn't that be a medic thing?

I hope the knife mutes a player after a backstab, or else it is useless.

Kind of like the Sniper ones.  Once again encourages active snipers.  The Darwin Danger Shield should have a drawback.  Razorback should have another advantage.

I thought that at first, but I came to the conclusion that it was alright because a) Sniper duels suck and b) To get headshot resistance you have to use a sniper rifle that doesn't headshot, no secondary weapon, a melee that gives you higher crit chance in exchange for more pyro damage, and IMO an ugly hay.

Shortstop seems OP right now; its like a long-range shot gun.

Sydney Sleeper is more like sniper bullets that explode on contact at full charge, allowing for multiple kills with one bullet.  

Black box is generally uninteresting, I was never really worried about health as a soldier in the first place.

Those are the only ones I have tried myself, but I have heard the Powerjack is WAAAYYY OP'ed.

As you play you'll learn the maps and the general layout of the typical sniping/heavy mg spots. It becomes much easier to survive. But grenades have a wide blast radius in that game so keep an eye out for that.

HL2: DM was pretty much flooded with stuff like roleplaying servers last time I played (which admittedly was a long time ago.) If you can find a standard deathmatch or capture-the-flag server it can be fun, but it is true that it's not balanced.

With League of Legends being free to everyone, and the upcoming Blizzard DotA being free to everyone who owns Starcraft 2, I don't know how popular and active DotA 2 would get if it wasn't free as well.

QuoteForbes: Gabe Newell a name you ââ,¬Ëœneed to knowââ,¬â,,¢

We gamers are very familiar with the name Gabe Newell. Heââ,¬â,,¢s the bloke who runs Valve, the award-winning game development studio responsible for games like Counter-Strike, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, as well as Steam. Now, Forbes wants the world to know his name.

Forbes recently listed the man as a ââ,¬Å"Name You Need To Knowââ,¬Â in 2011, due largely to his work with Steam, the leading digital distribution outlet.

Forbes isnââ,¬â,,¢t listing Newell as an important figure for no reason. Lest we forget Steam has accrued 30 million users since launch, and the service accounts for a whopping 70% percent of the digital distribution market, which is quite crazy.

I thought this was pretty cool.

The blizzard made DotA map for SC2 isn't meant to be a replacement for these games, they just wanted to make a fun map. They aren't going to put the development time and attention to detail that these other companies are.

Also, DotA 2 is being made by the person who does DotA allstars for WC3. He is really the one who made the game what it is now, not the guys who are currently working on LoL and say Icefrog 'stole' DotA from them.

Most of the DotA playerbase still plays DotA on WC3 using clients besides battle.net. Those on LoL and HoN are a smaller chunk of the playerbase. DotA is also very popular in China, and I feel they often are underrepresented.

DotA2 is the first game of this type to be developed by such a large company. Those who made LoL and HoN are much smaller in comparison to the resources Valve has. They are very committed to making a great game, so is Icefrog.

Trading has been around since like september, I remember when you got that hat (:jerk:), it would now be a "Vintage Killer's Kabuto" and thus probably worth one good vintage hat, two good regular hats, or maybe a few regular crappy hats.

I agree with you about HLDJ. It's a messy installer, if I remember correctly. It's audio converter took quite some time to use, and allowing me to use mp3s I converted through Audacity refused to work most of the time.

That said, the latest version of HLSS (whenever that was) still works with TF2, or was as late of October,. It's hotkey setup is much more accessible than HLDJ. If you're a soundboard guy, HLDJ looked insanely difficult to set up for quick changes like that. Maybe I just missed something.

well I converted a song to try to use.

when I played it in a server it said my mike was talking but I heard no sound.

thinking back it seems weird that I WOULD hear sound from my own mike. So I dunno if hldj was working or not.

I kind of wish it made it so you heard your own sounds

TF2 is selling some hats with 100% of the money going to japan disaster relief. I bought one because I'm a selfless altruistic superhero. Also because I got the precious hat. Oh glorious team fortress 2 hats, your steady accumulation is the most important thing in my life.

I hope you aren't being sarcastic here, because I don't see any conceivably way that giving 100% of the proceeds of something to a worthy charity is bad, no matter what they're selling. It also should be obvious that this hat is going to sell like hotcakes since it's collectible and the TF2 community eats that shit up. So basically the net result is that japan is getting a lot of money to help with relief efforts and some people in a video game get some hats. That second part doesn't actually matter
Title: The Official Valve Games Thread
Post by: SoBe Clock on April 05, 2011, 04:24:57 PM
I'm curious, what's everyone's preferred loadout in TF2 with each character?

My loadouts are as follows:

Scout: The Shortstop, Mad Milk, The Holy Mackerel

Soldier: Grenadier's Softcap, The Black Box, The Battalion's Backup, Equalizer
(Switch to Half Zatoichi for Medieval Mode)

Pyro: The Degreaser, Shotgun, The Axtinguisher
(Switch to Sharpened Volcano Fragment for medieval mode)

Demoman: The Chargin' Targe, The Loch-N-Load, The Eyelander
Demoman 2: Stickybomb Launcher, The Loch-N-Load, The Ullapool Caber

Heavy: The Brass Beast, Buffalo Steak Sandvich, Warrior's Spirit

Engineer: Frontier Justice, The Wrangler, The Jag

Medic: Crusader's Crossbow, Medi Gun, Amputator

Sniper: The Sydney Sleeper, Jarate, The Bushwacka
Sniper 2: Huntsman, Darwin's Danger Shield, Tribalman's Shiv.

Spy: I don't play spy.

EDIT: I'm having trouble deciding whether I like the Scotsman's Skullcutter or the Eyelander more.  I like the more initial health and the higher initial damage of the Skullcutter, but I dislike the loss of speed. I like the no loss of speed and the killstreak effects of the Eyelander, but dislike the lowered base health. The speed I have when using the Eyelander makes it easier to chase and maneuver when in melee and helps me get kills that way, but the higher base damage of the Skullcutter helps me get more kills with less hits. So right now I'm still switching between both weapons until I decide on one.

EDIT2: Eyelander it is. Also, I changed my engineer loadout.

EDIT3: New loadouts again!

I try not to deviate too much form the default but mostly
Scout: sandman
Soldier: Trying to get used to the Direct hit

Demoman: Eyelander (even though I don't use the charging targe)
Heavy: KGB (also the Iron curtain but that's a skin)

Soldier: The Black Box/The Batallion's Backup/The Equalizer

Pyro: Flame Thrower/The Flare Gun/The Back Scratcher

Medic: Blutsauger/Medigun/Vintage Ubersaw

Heavy: Natasha/Sandvich/Gloves of Running Urgently

Sniper: Huntsman/Jarate/Vintage Tribalman's Shiv (regularly switch between rifle and bow, but I use the bow more.

Demoman: Stickybomb Launcher/Grenade Launcher/Eyelander

Engineer: Frontier Justice/Pistol/Gunslinger (depending on my mood I change between Gunslinger and Wrench)

Spy: Vintage Ambassador/Knife/Vintage Cloak and Dagger.

I should use the Demoman, Spy, and Pyro more often.

Pyro: Backburner, Shotgun, Axtinguisher
Demoman: Resistance, nade launcher, katana
Heavy: default chaingun, Sandvich, Gloves of running urgently
Engineer: Shotgun or frontier justice, pistol, jag or hospitality
Medic: Syringe gun, Medigun, Ubersaw
Sniper: Sniper Rifle, submachine gun, tribalmans or default machete
Spy: Ambassador, Cloak Watch, defualt knife

I almost never play spy, and am shit at scout. I also don't play engie often.

The trick about being Scout, imo, is to just distract the enemy like a pest and/or stun anyone you meet. That and going for the intel.

Flanking is very important as a scout. Especially if the enemy is already in combat it's super easy to sneak up behind them and pop off a few FaN shots

Edited my loadouts post.

Now that I have the Wrangler, I changed my engineer loadout to Frontier Justice, The Wrangler, The Jag. Also I decided I like the Eyelander more than the Scotsman's Skullcutter, so my final Demoman loadout is Chargin' Targe, Loch-N-Load, Eyelander.

Unless they come out with new weapons, this is pretty much how my loadouts will stay.

Quote from: RibsClock;1814750Scout and spy have some similar applications. Both are particularly useful for flanking the enemy position, finding folks who are in the middle of different fights and ruining their day, going around behind enemy lines and destroying teleporter entrances and ambushing people on the way to the fight. Gravel pit is one of my favorites for playing offensive scout, except on the third capture point when they become essentially useless because they put too much lead in the way of you getting out the door with that little health unless you're using bonk in which case it's alright.

I've never liked the FAN a whole lot, partially because I jump a lot as scout and I don't like what the FAN does in midair because it sets me up more for being shot than allowing me to really run circles around whoever I'm harassing. Then again, I'm not a great scout, so don't take my thoughts on the matter too seriously.
i switch scout weapons based on the map. If there's a lot of close areas and sharp turns i use fan for instant death doubletap, otherwise i use normal shotgun. The shortstop just kind of sucks.

Umm... Let me see here. Best disguises are Heavy (get health from medics, no one usually suspects slow spys) and Sniper (gives excuse to sit in one place while you wait for victims). Always cloak after you backstab someone. After you backstab someone, press B to automatically change to your last disguise. If your disguised as scout, always jump, never run. Your knife will raise to the backstab position if your behind a disguised enemy spy. That's all I can think of for now :p

That's always fun to do in 2fort. Since I never play anymore I'm always getting the rust back on when I play sniper so that happens more often than I'd like.

The most fun thing is to toy with engineers. What you do is equip the C&D and when they build a dispenser in front of the spiral stairs, you wait until they're distracted and destroy it with the revolver from inside the stairs. If they're lazy you can just repeat this for massive destruction points, if they actually hunt you it becomes a fun game of cat and mouse, one that I've perfected pretty well.

Once they nerfed the tribesman's shiv it really wasn't worth using for me anymore. Its damage is so low that you can't down people quickly, which is the point of meleeing for a sniper in the first place.

Okay so now I'm using The Sydney Sleeper instead of the Sniper Rifle.

The Sydney Sleeper may not have crit headshots, but the fast charging shot and 8-second Jarate applied on hit makes it pretty much a 2 body shot kill as long as both shots are charged and you get the hits within 8 seconds. Body shots are a lot easier to pull off than headshots so I like it more than the Sniper Rifle.

I think as a result of getting the Sydney Sleeper I'm actually going to start playing Sniper a bit more now. Sniper has always been my least played class aside from spy which I don't play at all.

Well people who main sniper usually go for the headshot almost every time right? Sidney Sleeper ain't too great for that. However, if you ain't too used to it, its a pretty viable option for occasionally playing.

Actually, I use the Huntsman most of the time. It feels like the combination of a gun and a melee weapon. But sometimes i like to use the rifle if I feel like I am cautious enough. I feel like I am easy bait for spies with rifles.

I am not sure if I can explain my strategy well enough. I like to turn things easier for my team rather than being the key player most of the time. I Jarate enemies trying to capture points, try to get rid off other snipers, sentries or other far away threats.

I guess "I just like to help".

EDIT: Of course, when I see that no one is trying to capture/defend any god damn thing, that's when I get into action. I become an Engineer or Soldier most of the times that happens, tho.

Pyro is easy if you flank. You just need to know the map well enough to know which path is the least taken, take that one, and then sneak up on people. Just retard rushing at people gets you dead fast.

Indeed. To play Pyro you need to be able to ambush people. W+M1 is a lame way to play and will get you crappy results.

Thor is correct in that  the Degreaser/Axtinguisher combo completely trumps the Backburner. It has higher damage output, as the burn/melee combo will drop an enemy in about a second if you catch them with the first swing. If it's a heavy it will take an extra swing or two. Compression Blasting is also very important. If you can reflect pipe bombs and rockets effectively, you'll be a nightmare for opposing Demomen and Soldiers.

Using the Flare Gun or Shotgun for mid range combat is just as important. Not everything is going to be within range of your flamethrower. W+M1'ing at anything out of your range is just going to get you killed.

I already had the Brass Beast but now I crafted the Buffalo Steak Sandvich and the Warrior's Spirit. I'm using all three of those items on my Heavy now.
Title: The Official Valve Games Thread
Post by: Thor on April 27, 2011, 12:10:26 AM
Warriors spirit is dumb, the bonus to melee is useless because the heavies guns do massive damage in close quarters anyway, and the reduction in health sucks for a class that's always in everybodies crosshairs. The default fist seems to do plenty of damage for the rare rare times you'll have to melee somebody (a crit will kill most classes in one hit)

The steak is possibly the worst weapon in the game. It causes all attacks against YOU to be minicrits, and because you can only melee and are somewhat slow even with the speed boost you are going to die very very quickly (especially if you use warriors spirit).

Just use Fists of Steel and Sandvitch instead and you're survivability will go through the roof. The only reason to use WS and Steak is if you're playing medieval.


Brass beast is alright

I'm going to have to disagree with you on these points.

The loss of health from the Warrior's Spirit is barely noticeable. 20 HP doesn't make a big difference, but the 30% more melee damage does. The extra melee damage makes melee useful for the heavy. Also I've gotten a good amount of kills tonight using the Steak + Warrior's Spirit combo. You're not "still somewhat slow" when using the Steak. In fact, you can outrun almost every class using the steak even with the speed deficit from the brass beast. If you're already in close quarters, the steak and spirit is a good combo. If you're out of ammo with the brass beast, the steak makes melee a viable backup. If you have ammo with the brass beast, and there's distance between you and the opposition, you can just use the steak to heal yourself. It can be thrown on the ground and picked up for health, you know.

Overall, since there are actually situations where the steak's consumption effect works well, and since the steak can still be used for healing and not its regular effect, and the 20 hp lost doesn't really make too much of a difference, I'd say the warrior's spirit and the steak are a very useful combo. I like using the whole set, as the brass beast is pretty good too.
Title: The Official Valve Games Thread
Post by: Thor on April 27, 2011, 01:07:28 AM
Did you know that a heavy without the Warriors Spirit can survive a fully charged headshot if overhealed, but a heavy with Warriors Spirit can not? The lumbering pace of the Brass Beast isn't going to help that.

The steak is fun and all but I just never saw it as viable. The steak effect is more like a debuff unless you run out of ammo constantly. Even with the WS it takes less time to kill somebody in melee range by just using your minigun and the heavy can kill somebody in 3 melee hits anyway (or 1 since fists have a huge crit rate due to being melee and being based on DPS which a heavy should have lots of)


Just, the idea of the largest hitbox class in the game, having effectively less health due to minicrits and ACTUALLY less health due to gloves just seems so dumb

Never!

There are actually a few loadouts I use that are not my best loadouts, I just find the ones I use more fun.

Also I realized that the Hibernating Bear set isn't so great just for payload on offense. With the Minigun and Natasha you can just keep spinning and walk with the cart and still keep up, that's impossible with the brass beast. So for payload on offense I use The Minigun, The Buffalo Steak Sandvich, and the Fists of Steel.

Since Mini-Crits add 35% to the base damage to the attack, the 40% reduced ranged damage taken from the fists of steel makes it so that when using the Steak's effects, you're still not suffering mini crits from ranged attacks. Though, it does make melee attacks against you all that more devastating, I still think it works. A lot of people still don't use melee even against the fists of steel for some reason, so the Steak works with it pretty well. So, I added that alternative Heavy loadout to my loadouts.


Actually I've been using the hibernating bear on payload offense just fine. No need for the alternate loadout.

Backburner is the best Pyro unlock, even more so now that it has airblast. That said, from what I hear its even better if you pair it with the backscratcher (so you don't have to rely on medics and can creep around the map to get the jump on people.

Brass beast looks and sounds cool, but it's way too slow for my tastes.

That said I main Medic so I really don't know much. Speaking of which, any chance of another CC TF2 event in the foreseeable future?

Quote from: AnkhClock;1820572No one but me posts in this thread so I'd like to point out that I just got the One Free Bullet achievement for HL2 Ep1 and unlocked all achievements for the game. Now to carry a garden gnome around a forest!
I honestly tried to get that achievement but I'm a lazy jerk and gave up when I reached the parking lot

Quote from: someone on the intenret;1820573It was my one and only friend,
Since it was brought to me from that tube.
And still I let the poor thing die,
My Weighted Companion Cube.
It was always nice to me,
Never once uttered a threat.
It may have lacked in personality,
But still I owe it a great debt.
For it kept me company,
It was like a friendly face.
That let me know I was not alone
In this dark and hostile place.
And it gave me someone to talk to,
Even if a response it could never make,
I told it all my hopes and dreams
And the promises of cake.
The cube was only meant to push down buttons,
But for me it was so much more.
Which is why an order from the testers
Chilled me to the core.
They called me during testing
And they said make no mistake.
If you don't destroy your companion cube
You don't get any cake.
A vent to the furnace opened,
And my cube I did throw in.
It broke my heart to do so,
But I had to do it to win.
The testing did continue
With new cubes to try to ease my pain.
But none of them were MY cube.
I would never see him in this life again
But the wretched pain of loss
I did not have long to bear.
As where there should have been delicious cake
Was only the furnace's red glare.
For it seems that the delicious cake
Was actually a lie.
To lure me to a hot place
Where I shall surly die.
So into the fires that stole my cube
I shall also pass.
But I don't fear this burning death
As it will reunite me with my cube at last.
And we will spend eternity
In our little private hell.
And we will talk about our hopes and dreams
And maybe have some cake as well.

Unless you mean you can use them in crafting, in which case I guess you've proven you can, although why you wouldn't trade them away and get two hats instead of crafting them together and get one hat is beyond me.

Also traffic cone Pyro hat owns sorry.

E: Oh wait I double checked and they did make it craftable and drop. Whoops. Still doesn't invalidate my points on how a good hat-economist would trade it away and how the Pyro hat is high tier so whatever.

In fairness, those two hats haven't been out for very long. But maybe I'm just being bitchy because I've gotten attached to the Pyro traffic cone (though it doesn't beat my gimmick of Humanitarians Hachimaki + Stockbroker's Scarf + Renaming myself to "Kamikaze Salaryman").

MORE IMPORTANTLY:

1. Hats. What sort of hats do you have? (http://tf2b.com/?id=ammat) Opinion: pretty much all the Soldier's hats are top-tier, while the Spy's hats are mostly boring.

2. I just beat Episode 2 again, and sent a Garden Gnome into Space FOR SCIENCE! It wasn't that annoying, except when the hunter-chopper showed up and kept intentionally knocking it out of your car/hands.

3. It seems that in the wake of the success of Borderlands, Valve has redone their art for Episode 3 in order to make it look cel-shaded.

Valve hasn't really made the game cel shaded. I know this from seeing the pixels and playing quite a few valve games in my day.

Also Borderlands must not have been that successful, since they aren't making Borderlands 2.

Borderlands isn't actually cel-shaded as it is more like "Hand Drawn". You don't get to see too much drop shadows, or at least I don't

I can't think of one commercially successful cel shaded game.

MAYBE the simpsons game but that's a stretch.

Post by: AnkhClock on May 16, 2011, 01:17:50 AM
The joke was that a moderately amusing bug caused some models in GMod to look overly glossy in the light, and Borderlands was the only game I could think of that had a similar style. Obviously Valve wouldn't model a game after a completely unsuccessful one, so I was working under the assumption Borderlands was a success, either commercially or critically.

I used to suck as sniper but now I've been playing him more and I've found that I am actually having fun with him. I use Huntsman, Jarate, and Bushwacka.

I find playing as a mid range fighter with the huntsman is more fun than playing long range with the sniper rifle. And while hitting with the huntsman at sniping range is entirely luck, it's not hard to hit people at mid/short range. By utilizing the Huntsman in combination with the Jarate/Bushwacka combo for up close encounters, I'm getting pretty good results.

Pretty much the only time I'll use one of the sniper rifles now is on sniping maps where the only option is to fight from long distances.

Holy shit, going through the voting right now, the movies are all awful. I'm actually impressed by how many people didn't read the rules (no copyrighted music and under a minute) or submitted something totally unrelated (your 30 second replay does not qualify you for "thirty second trailer," and you shouldn't enter your video for "most inventive kill" if literally no one died.

Going through the 30 Second Trailer Category. I'm pretty sure I don't vote, I just flag one or the other (or often both).

Just got the Candy Cane, which I like for medieval mode, since then it makes enemies drop 2 health packs instead of one. I won't use it on scout for any other mode though, I think that explosive vulnerability is just too detrimental to the scout with his low hp.

I also just got a Powerjack, which is one of the very few weapons I've never used before. I'm going to try it out with the Degreaser and Flare gun, as a replacement to the Axtinguisher. I suspect I'll still like the Axtinguisher more, as it has much more damage output against anything but a Pyro. I might like the Powerjack though for its health bonus on each kill, which will help with survivability, so I'm giving it a shot.

The liberty launcher is going to be annoying to learn how to airblast as a pyro, nowhere as bad as timing it with the DH is. The goomba stomp boots are going to be fun as hell to try and kill people with.

that being said the shovel looks lame and the shotgun is more situational than anything. maybe good against scouts and other rocket jumping soldiers???

reserving judgement for the riding crop. it's nice to see an soldier unlock that's not a katana or an equalizer.

You've obviously never seen a good soldier who's smart enough to rocket somebody to the air and hit them with the shotgun before you land. Trust me, it's devastating. This shotgun is going to be the new Axtinguisher.

Shovel might be good if used with the goomba shoes for a quick kill.

Point being, if any of you cool bros or even any of you uncool kids want to kill some zombies, hit me up on Steam (http://steamcommunity.com/id/ammat) whenever.
Also thanks to the Steam Summer Sale I own every Valve title, even Ricochet and Condition Zero, thanks to a few cheap deals and the fact that Counterstrike 1 Combo Pack was less than four bucks. No lame-ass Complete Pack for me, no sir. That means I am now the objective expert on all things Valve, and you should defer to my judgement (nerf Heavies).

Everybody seems to think this new rocket launcher is a straight upgrade. It's not. It can't destroy sentries, and that's the soldiers main job. No crits is also a pretty big fucking deal when you realize how devastating crockets are.

This new weapon is more like a straight upgrade for the engineer than the soldier, since sentries left out in the open are now immortal and invincible until an uber shows up. It's also super easy to get tons of kills with minisenteries now since the old rocket launchers destroyed them in one hit and the new one takes a billion.

The only good thing about this gun is that it has an extra rocket per clip. Everything else about it is garbage.

EDIT: One more thing... the charge shot on this gun does less damage than two normal rockets, yet takes more time to charge than it would take to fire 3 shots. It also uses up ALL of your ammo. Now isn't that interesting?

Post by: PolyhedronClock on July 21, 2011, 04:16:16 PM
the new RL seems a bit dumb that it can catch people on fire with a charged hit, and having 5 rockets seems like a pretty lame move. remove the afterburn on it and change the ammo to 4 would make it a bit more tolerable.

I think it's a pretty dumb idea though. Like yeah, those teams have been playing the alpha/beta, but I feel like they should have made it an open tournament or something.

Release the game, let people make teams, and then hold your million dollar tournament. That at least gives some incentive for people to go out and buy the game. Like seriously, watching 10 Chinese teams and some other people compete for a million dollars isn't going to excite me. Especially when no teams from the US were invited.

Hat: Towering Pillar of Hats

Sniper
Loadout 1 - The Sydney Sleeper, Darwin's Danger Shield, The Bushwacka
Loadout 2 - The Huntsman, Jarate, The Bushwacka
Loadout 3 - The Sniper Rifle, SMG, Kukri
Hat: Ol' Snaggletooth

Spy
Default: The Enforcer, Dead Ringer, Knife
Hat: None


Thoughts behind my loadouts...

The Towering Pillar of Hats is the best hat. That's really all there is to say on the matter.

A lot of people seem to think the Shortstop is overpowered. Personally, I just have fun with it. Mad Milk works well with the Shortstop and The Mackerel is clearly the best Scout melee weapon. Using the hat to top it off gives a nice +25 hp boost.

The Tank Buster set is better than people give it credit for. Yeah the Black Box only has 3 shots instead of 4 with no damage/rocket speed upgrade of any kind, but the ability to heal yourself 15 hp for every enemy the rockets' blasts hit adds up. It actually helps you stay alive rather well and as a result, makes it much easier to charge a banner. The Battalion's Backup is a good banner I think. Plus, with the hat I get 20% sentry damage resistance and that is a pretty good thing.

I've taken a liking to the flare gun recently, but it leaves me rather weak against enemy Pyros, so I switch to shotgun if there are a lot of enemy Ppyros.

While my Default Demoman loadout is easily the one I'm better with, I actually have more fun with the Demoknight. I labeled the Default loadout as such because it's the loadout I use if my team needs more effective help.

At first I wrote off the Tomislav as a bad minigun but its actually pretty good. As long as an enemy heavy is using any other minigun, you will win against that heavy if you start spinning first or at the same time as them. It still is a powerful gun so its not like its been rendered useless by the lowered firing speed. The Eviction Notice is better than I thought too, simply because swinging so fast means a miss doesn't matter as much and you'll get a lot more hits in if you're good at melee. Buffalo Steak Sandvich rules as always in my opinion, because not only can you heal with it, but the consumption effect is fun for melee fighting.

Engineer, same as ever.

Kritzkrieg is by far the best medigun in my opinion. The regular Medigun is good and all, but the problem with the Invincibility Ubercharge is that once you use it, the enemy pretty much scatters. You'll probably get a few kills and get to destroy one or two sentries, but when I Kritz Ubercharge a good Demoman or Soldier, we'll often take out a large portion of the enemy team as long as they're close. Also while you can't charge directly into sentry gunfire it is still very effective for taking out enemy sentries if, as stated before, you use it on a good Demoman or Soldier. I prefer Ubering Demomen and Soldiers to Heavies anyway. I had been using the Blutsauger but the slowed HP regeneration by 2 was too detrimental when on fire.

The reason I have three sniper loadouts and none of them are labeled "Default" is because I pretty much use all of them for different situations. I use the Croc-O-Style set when I'm on a sniper only map (Immune to headshot deaths, woo!) and sometimes just when I feel like using it in sniping situations. I use the Huntsman loadout on maps where mid range combat is more likely than long range sniping. And I use the standard sniper loadout in situations where It's a good sniper map and there isn't an abundance of enemy snipers. I still don't use sniper as much as the other classes bsides spy though so whatever.

I occasionally use Spy now! Still not much at all though.

Quake launcher all day every day. Best loadout.
Title: The Official Valve Games Thread
Post by: AnkhClock on August 10, 2011, 08:13:06 PM
Okay but if we're doing careposts about our loadout:

Scout: Scattergun, Lugermorph, Atomizer
I can't hit shit unless I'm using the Scattergun, which is fine since the scattergun is one of the most versatile weapons in the game. Lugermorph because I've always found more use for the pistol that with the Bonks or Milk. Atomizer because having a triple jump seems useful (also it has the Homerun taunt).

Soldier: Genuine Original, Strange Shotgun, The Disciplinary Action
Quake Launcher because it is the best Promo item ever given out. Strange Shotgun because, while the Reserve Shooter sounds good in theory, I haven't ever really found it to be useful. Riding crop because I love whipping Heavies to mid (and because S&M owns).

Pyro: Backburner, Strange Shotgun, Back Scratcher
This is the best loadout for a roamin' Pyro. Sneak up behind a few guys, burn 'em up, quickly shotgun them just in case, then book it out of there to get 150% health from a medpack.

Demoman: Stickylauncher, Grenade launcher, Half-Zatoichi.
People seem to like Demoknighting because its fun I guess, but I have more fun blowing people up than slashing at them ineffectively with a sword. The katana is a Touhou reference.

Heavy: Tomislav, Sandvich, GRU
Heavy will be an overpowered fuck no matter what loadout you use. My loadout, however, was selected in order to be the biggest piece of shit around.

Engineer: Shotgun, Lugermorph, Gunslinger
The pro-engineers have a keybind that lets them quick destroy/build minisentries, and spam those guys everywhere. I lost the code though, so unless there's a way to get it from TF2 itself I need to find it :()

Medic: Overdose, Medigun/Kritzkreig, Vita-saw
Overdose because the only time you should have your needlegun out anyway is when you're running away from enemies like a little bitch. Medigun/kritzkreig because both are viable depending on the situation. Vita-saw because getting a large part of your Uber back is tremendous if both teams know what they're doing.

Sniper: Huntsman, Jarate, Bushwaka
I have some good hats for sniper I want to show off, but I'm not good at aiming. My only solution is to run around with the bow and arrow and hope I nail someone with a lucky headshot

Spy: Enforcer, Knife, Dead Ringer
Fun fact: There's literally no downside to the Enforcer when using the Dead Ringer. I don't play Spy that much though.

Quote from: AnkhClock;1837119good stuff
I like your setups; it looks like you have the optimal loadout for each class. However, there are some things I want to whine about
Backscratcher: Even with the backburner I find the Axtingisher a lot more useful. It's just so much faster to sting than to just wait for the flamethrower to do its job (unless you attack from behind of course)
Tomislav: I find it less effective than the Minigun. This gun really has no upside if you know how to rev jump and always rev up when rounding corners (like you should). The only situation where it's better than the standard minigun is if you're ambushed, which really doesn't happen that often. Besides, in my experience the majority of my time as heavy is spent revved up and killing things anyway. Of course the brass beast is complete shit but that's because of the reduced movement speed moreso than the rev time.
Engineer: Why aren't you using your strange shotgun on the engineer?
Vita-saw is for noobs, pros use Ubersaw and power up on spys

Quote from: VuBawls;1837132Scout: FaN, Sandman, and that new Pistol (I never use the pistol, so yeah)

This is a good setup for 1v1, but the problem is that it's useless against multiple targets. Plus FaN doesn't have that delicious %200 damage rampup at point blank that the scattergun has.

I'm surprisingly good at batting enemies do death in a cluster fuck environment, I used to never use my fan for killing until recently.

So does anyone think doublecross is too easy with scout? I usually just pop in as scout, shortcut to intel room, grab the intel, turn around, stick it out, even white boys gotta shout, baby got back to my intel room. Even if they got a sentry up, it usually takes a few deaths, but I can inch and inch that briefcase closer and closer back to the balcony until that sentry or enemy can't get me.

Quote from: VuBawls;1837176TF2 needs more better ctf_maps

I'm with you there, most of the CTF maps seem to promote "lone wolf" style gameplay and discourage teamwork. Everybodys always off doing their own thing instead of trying to do coordinated pushes. That's probably why they make CTF maps so small to try to mitigate that a little. I'm actually kind of glad that valve is spending time making maps for the better game modes though.

Quote from: Quark;1837162I like your setups; it looks like you have the optimal loadout for each class. However, there are some things I want to whine about
Backscratcher: Even with the backburner I find the Axtingisher a lot more useful. It's just so much faster to sting than to just wait for the flamethrower to do its job (unless you attack from behind of course)
Axetinguisher is good, but since Pyro tends to get pretty beat up even when things do go his/her way, it's easier to make a beeline to the nearest healthkit than it is to find a Medic.

Quote from: Quark;1837162Tomislav: I find it less effective than the Minigun. This gun really has no upside if you know how to rev jump and always rev up when rounding corners (like you should). The only situation where it's better than the standard minigun is if you're ambushed, which really doesn't happen that often. Besides, in my experience the majority of my time as heavy is spent revved up and killing things anyway. Of course the brass beast is complete shit but that's because of the reduced movement speed moreso than the rev time.
But people complain about the Tomislav more. Wait, you don't actually think I play Heavy to be good do you?

Quote from: Quark;1837162Engineer: Why aren't you using your strange shotgun on the engineer?
I am I just didn't mention it. I must have gotten distracted by YOUR MOM servicing me as I typed.

Quote from: Quark;1837162Vita-saw is for noobs, pros use Ubersaw and power up on spys
Ha, jokes on you! All the pros I know use the vita-saw in their pro matches, or at least they would if it wasn't banned in all the comp leagues, which may be different since people in 6v6 never run Spies.
Anyway, pro Medics die more often then they get melee kills.

Do they even need a new Counterstrike? Considering how many people still play 1.6 (or hell, how many people still play 1.5) they could do absolutely nothing with CS:S and it'd still be one of the most played and top-selling games on Steam.

I'm all for a new CS. Just because tons of people still play CS:S and CS 1.6 doesn't mean its not time yet for a new one. Counter-Strike Source was released in 2004, and overall has seen very little in the way of new official content in years. As long as they can make it better than CS:S, which I'm confident they can, I'll definitely be getting it.

I was playing on the valve public servers yesterday and took out three separate sentry nests on dustbowl 2 in basically the time it took me to walk over to them (one over the overhang from the main entrance to the second point with pipes, one on the stairs near the big rock on the second point with stickies, and one in the corner with the medium ammo near red spawn with both.)

I've always wondered why I would sometimes blow up using the Sticky Jumper, seemingly at random. It turns out that Sticky Jumper stickies only deal zero self damage if you CURRENTLY have the sticky jumper as your active weapon. Even though that makes no sense at all because the stickies deal zero damage to enemies no matter what. What the fuck?

QuoteYounger TF2 fans might not understand the significance of the upcoming game Deus Ex: Human Revolution. For those of you who weren't around during gaming's golden age, it's the long-awaited sequel to the cult classic dystopian shooter Revolution X, starring and programmed by Aerosmith. You'll once again play as Brad "The Deuce" Whitford. Part human Aerosmith bass player. Part robot. ALL trouble.

 "Wow! Can you let me play it now?" you ask. Dream On, Aerosmith fan. The game's not due for a week. (Joe Perry's still coding some shaders.)

   "Well, is there anything I can get now?" Yes. As of right now, you can Walk This Way if you Don't Wanna Miss a Thing, because Janie (i.e. you) Has Got (i.e. can obtain) a Gun (i.e. eight new Deus Ex-themed TF2 items (http://www.teamfortress.com/deus-ex/), FREE, by pre-ordering the Aerosmith game). The items are also available separately in the Mann Co. Store and through items drops and crafting.

    Head to Deus Ex: Human Revolution's Steam page (http://store.steampowered.com/app/28050/) and pre-order now. Then, as long as youââ,¬â,,¢re Living on the Edge, flash your parents the Devil sign and rock over to Aerosmith's official Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/aerosmith). Don't let the cops catch you! It's dangerous!

The hats are purely cosmetic and don't do shit. The weapons drop after playing a certain amount of time and, except for a few unlocks, the vanilla weapons are better in pretty much every circumstance. The unlocks you'll probably actually want are the Equalizer, Backburner/Degreaser, Flare Gun, Axetinguisher, Sandvich, Gloves of Running Urgently, Gunslinger, Kritzkreig, any Medic Melee, Enforcer, and Dead Ringer. Everything else is hella situational or just plain sucks.

Also the Quake Launcher and Holy Mackerel, those are just straight upgrades.

Yeah I can agree that overall the default weapons are better than a lot of the weapons added since then, but I play for fun so I use the most fun loadouts to me, not necessarily the most efficient.

Also, splitting hairs but the word "upgrades" may give the wrong impression. The Quake Launcher (Original) and Holy Mackerel aren't upgrades, they are reskins.

No they are straight upgrades, like the Solemn Vow (same as default, but lets you see enemy health) and the Amputator (same as default, but with a heal taunt).

Holy Mackerel: Same as standard bat, but lets the whole server know you just hit a dude with a fish.
The Original: Same as standard rocket launcher, but makes Quake sounds.

Those are straight upgrades in my book.

The Razorback is worthless. It's only effective against one class, that has long since learned to just kill Snipers with an Ambassador headshot/ the Enforcer/ the standard Revolver. I guess if you have super fast reflexes, but I've rarely seen that happen. I guess it stops YER Payload chainstabs though.

Several times when I've played on 2f2f I've carried the team only for the people playing to completely ignore objectives or being a useless piece of shit all round and playing demoknight.

While the not knowing how to play at all thing is mostly reserved to valve servers, old server have their own unique brand of failure. Phrases that come to mind are "I'm playing for fun not to win" "stop being a tryhard" "I'm drunk lol". People on these servers seem to think that losing is fun, which in the end has the same result; your team is I'm a edgy teen and you have to carry them.

Fosters Facade and Noh Mercy are now misc items
Pyros can use Reserve Shooter (airblast + shotgun minicrits fuck yeah)
Multiple character loadout saved, so you can quickly change between, for example, a battle engy or a normal engy set.
Various weapon buffs and nerfs


Hopefully we'll be seeing most of these changes added to the main game in the next update.

So uh, wow.

I just played TF2 for the first time since I fixed my video card, effectively doubling my framerate, and switching to a new mouse. It made much more of a difference than I thought.

Even though my framerates were already pretty good with only one video card working, for some reason the game wasn't actually playing smooth like it should have been, which I can now clearly see. Also this mouse, though its just one I'm borrowing atm, is tons better than my previous ancient mouse. I'm already playing so much better, and having much more fun.

I like how my K/D/A ended up in this match. 52/26/13

I kind of agree. Although, at least they aren't being that awful with the item thing. The items that don't have downsides (which usually have a very minor effect) are rare and hard to craft, and although some of the unlockables are pretty bad, some of them are pretty badly overpowered/annoying.

This. The defaults are pretty much better or at least equal but different in almost all cases, aside from a few obvious better unlocks like sandvich being better than shotgun for Heavy.

That said, I play for fun most of the time, not to be super serious. I end up using a lot of the unlocks just because I like to change things up, and I think they can be fun even if they aren't better. TF2 has started crashing again for me tonight since these updates, which it hadn't done in ages. Hopefully they'll fix this soon.

I love the new loadouts system, having four loadouts for each class actually works out perfectly for me, I was wondering at first if 4 would be enough, but I didn't need more for any class. For some classes like Soldier I have 4 different loadouts. For some classes like Medic and Engineer, I have 2 variants of 2 loadouts.

I mapped quick switching to each loadout to a number on the numpad, Loadout 1 is 8, loadout 2 is 6, loadout 3 is 2, and loadout 4 is 4. No need to even use a menu to switch items any more, just press for whatever loadout I want on the numpad and get to a resupply locker.

I don't have time to play things a lot these days, but I still play TF2, Starcraft 2, Guild Wars, and another game or two during what free time I still have.

Yeah but those weapons aren't pure upgrades. Fishbat is statistically identical as the CO and the atomizer does shit for damage and usually ends up randomly activating when you're just doing normal double jumps, taking away health at random whenever you're hopping around as a retard (which is always as a scout). Bottle & Kukri are good for general use.

You have to admit those three are in a lot better position to give up a melee slot than the heavy, soldier, pyro, or medic, who each have one overpowered as fuck melee weapon
 
spy and engineer can't use the Conscientious Objector.

The CO is a weapon and drops randomly. You should be able to get it for a scrap by next week. Only a fool would buy it from the shop. The 3 misc slot items can only be bought or crafted. The only hard part here is obtaining a Decal Tool, which can only be obtained via purchase

Over the past week or so, with what time I've had to play, I traded my three set hats, crafted my paper hat, and got a bunch of hats from a friend. As a result I have 11 new hats and 1 new misc and they all are among my favorite hats for each class. I'm satisfied with what I have in that regard now.

Also, I reverted to using very vanilla loadouts for just about every class. While the unlocks were fun for a while, for just about every class a mix of default weapons and some of the very first unlocks for them really are just so much better. The only real exception is the Pyro because my current loadout for that is so much better than vanilla/first unlocks. I also still have 4 loadouts for just goofing off.

I guess I'll show off my stuff. Mostly showing off the hats.

The new pegleg that's the same thing as the ali baba's wee booties would look much better on that demoknight with that hat so I'll replace that when I get it.

Well its more like HoN was a straight copy of DotA with new features that the WC3 engine couldn't offer, DotA 2 is straight port of everything DotA 1, heores, aiblities, items, stats and all, to the source engine. So it basically is DotA 1 with better graphics and likely new features that HoN and LoL have like matchmaking, ranked play, and of course it being a Valve game, steamworks integration. LoL was made to build upon the DotA formula with stuff that DotA could never do with the WC3 engine, like ability power, magic penetration, armor penetration, etc. Those kinds of stats were impossible with WC3. LoL also added stuff like the bushes that give stealth, a better map with a better item store system, and then the meta game with runes, masteries, and stuff like that.

I, so far, am still thinking I'll end up liking LoL more than DotA 2, unfortunately. I like the way LoL plays, I like the bushes, I like the way heroes skills aren't as weighty and can be used more freely, and I really like the stuff like runes and masteries. The only thing DotA has over LoL is creep denying, seemingly. DotA is pretty decently balanced because its basically had like 8 years to be balanced, but I think riot is doing a better job with balancing lol than they used to.

Yeah LoL took out a lot of stuff for the sake of casual play, like denying and gold loss on death.

I can't remember why I even tried to teach myself how to play back on WC3 considering how absolutely abusive the players were, and how steep the learning curve is. I do remember making an account for dota on WC3, the name was "DotaTheBlameGame". Which in reality is not that far off.

Several new bugs in this new update.

I've heard from Thor people can get infinite crits in a life using the Frontier Justice, and that the crits even work on the Engie's other weapons.

There's also a glitch where if you quickswitch weapons just before a projectile that you fired hits, it will mini crit. This glitch has been around a while on the detonator, but now it happens with all projectiles. You can basically guarantee minicrits on all things like rockets, pipebombs, arrows, flares, etc...

My strange weapons were not tracking kills most of the time earlier today, though I am thinking that might have been the items server just lagging.

There's also a bug with the new pyro flamethrower that lets you get the crits without the taunt if you activate it midair. This effectively doubles the amount of time you get with crits and allows people to use it while engaged in combat, which wasn't intended

Fixed an exploit with The Eureka Effect and The Phlogistinator where the effects could activate without taunting in high-lag situations
Fixed the Brown Bomber not showing up on the Demoman
Fixed client HUD crash
Fixed colors on Christmas lights for the Blue team Scout weapons
Fixed a bug that would cause minicrits when switching weapons rapidly
Steam Workshop zip file size limit has been increased from 4 MB to 10 MB

They fixed everything

Half Life 3 doesn't have the same situation as Duke Nukem Forever. That game was shit because it spent decades being developed. They haven't even started working on HL3 yet at valve, being too busy with their other games. Even now they're developing at least 3 games actively that we know about (DotA, Counter Strike, and TF2) so they dont have enough man power to be working on HL3 on the side.

I'm thinking Portal 3 will come out next (aside from already announced DOtA2 and Counterstrike game) as it has the most appeal to console gamers. They have been trying to become the bridge between consoles and pc.

Their new countrstrike will be cross platform (PC, MAC, and PS3). They want their name to be recognized among Console gamers not just PC gamers.

I'm actually pretty good with this set. I usually take 2 good precise fan shots and if that dont work, I bust out sandman and melee them to death.
I also use the fan for jumping for I am an excellent fan jumper. the sandman's ball has gotten me out of so many situations before and is just good.
the Winger is good for taking out machines and stuff, I havnt done the math but I think you get more out of it then a regular pistol

The problem with the Reggaelator isn't that the idea is bad, it's that the whole thing is covered in a plastic looking reflective texture that clashes with everything else in the game.

Quote from: TelephoneClock;1895011Hey while we're talking about stupid shit:

WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT OF THIS

Some hats look very nice with team colored paint, specifically the "neutral color" hats or ones with designs on them (like the pyromancy skull). The other team color ones like Cream Spirit are better, though. Those hats all use colors that are already in the pallet anyway so they don't rape the art style.


EDIT:
Honestly, I have as many opinions on stuff that's shit in terms of hats as anybody here, but the only thing I REALLY want changed is for valve to either remove pink and lime paint or at the very least change their shade a lot so they look less shitty. And a cvar that lets me disable unusual hat particle effects.

Why the hell would a medic want ammo instead of an instant half health kit?

If you have a medic you should be using the steak sandvitch and throwing that shit to them when they're low on health.

Unless you run out of ammo as heavy a lot I guess? That's never really been a problem for me since there are ammo kits all over the place in this game

Okay, it's actually worse than I thought. I assumed "resupply ammo" meant that you got some minigun bullets in exchange for your sandwich. What it actually means is that it refills your sandvitch bar if you pick up a sandvitch. That's all it does. Throwing and picking up your own sandvitch now does literally nothing at all. It can still be used to heal teammates though, so that's something. That's what I usually used it for anyway. I'm going to have to get used to using GRU more carefully now, though.

Post by: SoBe Clock on February 15, 2012, 07:52:27 PM
The sandvich when dropped only gives the heavy ammo. If an ally picked up a dropped sandvich it still heals them just like before. So a heavy can still heal an allied medic with a dropped sandvich or eat it to restore his health, or drop it to give some ammo rather than health.

This is probably for the best even though most of us hate it right now. It's switching the heavy from a powerful roaming class back into a more defensive class, having to rely on allies and medics more to be able to push out safely, rather than having instant self heals available.

Oh well even so it still heals other people. It's not nearly as useless as people are making it out to be. The fact that secondary weapons other than the sandvich were only for idiots before this nerf just shows the sandvich was too good before, not that it's the worst thing ever now.

In order to be pro at demoman you need to always detonate your sticky bombs before they hit the ground. Arc them towards your enemies and blow them up in the air when they get close. You'll need to memorize the arcs, and you should usually fire without charging up at all.

The only time when you should use more than one sticky is if you're taking down a sentry (always lay down 3 or 4 before detonating or you'll just be wasting your time)

Use your nade launcher to kill pyros, scouts, and spies.



If you're trying to lay down traps you are doing it wrong. Demoman is an offensive class at this point. Traps are usually not worth the downtime of waiting for somebody to stumble into it unless you have a REALLY good choke point on the front lines.

You just need to keep in mind that total kills is a lot more important than kill death ratio in TF2 (unless you're playing arena). Laying traps will give you consistent safe kills, but wont help your team as much as going to the front lines and spamming the most overpowered weapon in the game at your enemies face. Think of the Sticky Launcher like the soldiers Missile Launcher, only with twice as many rockets, way more damage, and it can arc over cover.  Also, if you ever see a sentry nest while playing as a demoman you should make it your personal mission to plant exactly 3 nades at the base of that gun and blowing that shit apart.

No offence to anyone who disagrees, but in any pro circuit I know hwg solo isn't even a match unless you manage to hjump a corner right into the demoman/scout/soldier.

No HWG isn't overpowered and yes it's "op" against shitty players on shitty servers since all you have to do is to turn every millesecond to avoid spies. But apart from that I would never say I'd fear a hwg, not even as a spy. Just keep cutting corners and shoot him.

EDIT:

And yeah a great demoman is the best class, it was in TF and it still is. I'm not a great demoman though.

How is that any different than what the demoman and heavy do?

The Pyro and Engineer are more support classes than the spy or sniper can ever be.

I'm not saying they are bad classes, I'm saying they're not support. Hell, the spy is probably the only class IN THE ENTIRE GAME besides the demoman that can't do ANYTHING to help a team mate at all except kill people. No airblast, no sandvitch, no buff banner, no teleporter, ect ect. Sniper has jarate but that's the only support he has, so he doesn't fit either.

That's the most I'm a edgy teen statement I've heard. You maybe didn't notice it but I had 96 score when I crashed during highlander, like 6 score from the medic and around 30 score from you as you were HWG. Alot of those were not kills and alot of times our team was getting asfucked in chokepoints thanks to their hwg/soldier/demoman+medic + engineers point. I killed their engineer+whole buildingnest like 9 times and everytime I did they had no teleporter and you guys pushed forward. And if you're really smart you make your way backwards after all this and kill the engineer/medic/hwg again so the push gets even more momentum.

I remember having the highest score on the team by a wide margin but whatever

Yes you were helpful by killing people, but if killing people alone counts as support than every class but medic and engineer is apparently support then. Taking down teleporters and sentries is good but that's more like offence than support.

idk why you guys are getting so defensive about this, I'm just arguing that the labels are inaccurate, it's not like I'm saying spies are useless. They perform a valuable service, but they do NOT directly help their team mates like the medic and engineer can.

I think it would make more sense as an "offence" "support" "assassin".

Having a defense group makes no sense because there's only one class in the game that's actually good at defending. Sniper, spy, and scout would in this case be assassin classes.

Engineer still plays a vital role on offense though. Dustbowl is practically unwinnable for BLU unless you have a teleporter up, on all three stages.

Yeah you had 130-140 something when I crashed and the medic at 100-110, I was having a roll when we were pushing the cart the last two maps, they never checked their base for me so I killed like 15 guys in a row.  

I'm not angry or anything, pardon my use of swearing at times. I get your point though, it could be argued Spy is more offensive than support but I kind of see it like, Hwg/Soldier/Demo are the meat, they push that fucking cart, whilst even though I don't mind a 1v1 against any class I don't want to be in the thick of things because it'd be a waste of the spy as a class, so in that sense it's less offensive and more that I support the general offensive with subterfuge and sabotaging THEIR support. Now there isn't any "Harass" title because else I'd give scout/spy that (perhaps sniper aswell because I hate that class).

MarlinClock said it good; Like does anybody really care about the titles of them?...

Basically shitty griefers, ragers, and trolls will have to pay in some form to be able to keep playing, otherwise its free. Possible benefits for people who are positive forces in the DotA and Valve games community.

Elsewhere it has been confirmed that purchasable skins via an in-game store like League of Legends will be the main way valve makes money here, but unlike League, you will start with all heroes available and skins are the only thing that costs money afaik.

This is great to hear since after getting D3 I won't be able to afford any other retail games.

As someone who has spent a lot of time playing LoL, DotA is, at least from what I've seen on forums and the DotA2 subreddit in the past few months, actually the worst of the three as far as playerbase goes. It was actually surprising to me.

A large amount of DotA players seem to take every chance they get to insult LoL and the people that play it, wheras you'll basically never hear LoL players bringing up DotA. The DotA community has all the rage of the LoL community with a side order of elitism.

That said, it's easy to just put people that rage on your ignore list and be done with it. You don't have to worry about missing important things they may say as those kinds of people aren't helpful anyway. I don't rage at DotA or LoL, I don't see the point in it. You can't control those other people, getting yourself upset over it is just a waste of your own energy and mood. Also getting mad at your recreation kind of defeats the purpose of recreation!

I've seen real hackers, they're assholes. I've seen a speed/crit hacking pyro (also using the name switch hack), A aimbot sniper (he was spinning around as he shot and he did the name switch hack), and a crit/speed hacking heavy (again, using the name switch).

When combined with the other items added in the June 20, 2012 Patch, the full quote reads "Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser.".

EDIT: Anybody have any theories what that new pyro shotgun does? It might be a shotgun that increases afterburn duration. That's been suggested a lot. Or it could leave a burning patch on the ground like how the pyro's grenades in Team Fortress Classic work.

It would have the same gameplay result though. Igniting multiple people at range in a small radius, exactly what the detonator does. What you're talking about is a particle effect, not a mechanic. TF2 weapons always add a completely new mechanic (not counting reskin wapons).

Maybe it could shoot a larger, slower fire projectile. That would be unique.

It'd be cool if they did sort of an eyelanderish thing, make it take some penalty but the more use, or maybe just depending on fire damage it allows it to be more powerful. Pyros are usually short lived so maybe it would encourage some smart gameplay so you could build up the charge and deal more damage.

no it would just be a shotgun that also lit people on fire. make it have a 2-3 shot clip instead of 6 and have it minicrit on fire enemies. that is distinct from the flaregun because it is hit scan and not projectile.

A hitscan that lights people on fire? That sounds pretty damn overpowered. Unless they made it so that it didn't ignite you unless you were within a certain range.


People have been suggesting a shotgun that resets the afterburn timer for a while now, though. That wouldn't be as OP if it just reset the fire duration rather than lighting people up at infinite range

yeah it would have to do a certain amount of damage, a good ol fashioned meat shot, to light someone on fire who isn't already on fire. or maybe light people up on crits. the point is there is a niche for a shotgun that lights people on fire.

The SMG is more than enough to kill spies, scouts, and low health enemies, which is pretty much all that a sniper usually has to deal with way in the back. There's also the chance to just get lucky spraying at anybody that looks near dead and getting crit charged. Keep in mind that a crit charged sniper primary does 150 damage on an unscoped bodyshot, enough to kill a medic in one hit.

The hitmans headtaker sucks ass though. It's like a poor mans Bazaar Bargain

I don't think it will go lower. If you wait and it doesn't, you'd have to buy it for full price. If you buy it now and it does, you still got it for 75% off.

But a lot of people buy keys from the cash shop exclusively to use as currency. But right now, it would be a lot smarter to buy gift wrap, then sell it for a key and a refined. You save 50 cents AND get an extra refined out of the deal. People buying gift wrap would also stabilize the price.

Well, they released the most heavy raping weapon ever for the scout with the same patch. Hit a heavy with a sandman (very easy to hit a spun up heavy), hit him with the Flying Guillotine, and then blast them ONCE with the shotgun and he's dead. I've gone from full health to dead in the space of 2 seconds against scouts doing this.

Binding of Isaac +expansion and Terraria would probably be good value for the money. You can't really get a lot for only $25 unless it's during a steam sale.

Lets get back on the topic of valve games

What do people think of the new set of TF2 items? Apart from the Neon Annihilator, which is SHIT, they all seem pretty good and give a unique new playstyle for the character. The heatmaker is basically a nerf for the overpowered as fuck Spycicle and helps against circling scouts, the guillotine is great against heavies when used with the sandman and is useful alone for some bleeding harassment, and the red tape recorder looks interesting, although I haven't seen it in action yet...

It's pretty great, I've gotta say. Obviously unfinished but what's there so far is great.

The one and only thing that kept me from playing CS:S a lot more was my inability to find a decent server. There were like 60k servers, most of which were crap. They were either modded or they actually used classic settings but had like 32+ player slots. Because of there being so much crap I had trouble finding the good servers buried among them.

I like that CS:GO still has the server browser if you choose to use that but also pretty competent matchmaking to place you in classic game mode servers. I heard there might be an actual ranked matchmaking option in the final game, though I can't cite any source on that.

Quote from: SoBe Clock;1917674It's pretty great, I've gotta say. Obviously unfinished but what's there so far is great.

They've actually been using the beta to make major improvements to gamelpay. When the beta first came out the way the guns handled you couldn't hit jack shit at longer range, even with the AK. Now with the way the game handles recoil it makes all the guns a lot more viable. I've been in the beta for only a a month but it's noticeably improved. The recent update must have had some sort of optimization patch, because my performance on my computer and load times got waaaay better. Plus they fixed the UMP so it can actually kill things.

They still need more maps and silencers. I hope they tie this together with the Steam Workshop to make it easy to download custom maps. I'm sure Valve knows that one of the major reasons CS was so popular was because of the custom map community.

Yeah the feel of the guns is already better than CS1.6 and CS:S in my opinion. SMG's and Shotguns actually feel viable this time around. Movement is also a lot less ridiculous as opposed to previous games. You can't abuse it like before. There's a noticeable delay between crouching and getting back up to full running speed, which is a good thing. The game runs like a champ on my laptop, as does everything else source.

I also like that there's an actual valve-supported gungame mode with matchmaking and all for when I want to take a quick break from Classic Competitive .

Guys, if you want to play MvM don't use the Queue. Just go to the server browser, put "mvm_" into the map name, and hit refresh list. Then find a server with 4 or less players, no password lock, and a good ping (trust me, there are PLENTY). You'll be playing within a minute of loading up TF2


The queue system is completely pointless and there's no reason to use it unless you're using Mann Up mode. Also private servers can run the game at harder difficulty.

So today I learned that if you add

to TF2's launch options you can run down your item drop clock in a command prompt and when you start the game normally it will give you the drops. The clock's still limited to 11 hours a week, but I'm thinking I'm going to throw $5 at a second account so I can trade with it and double my item production.

So how am I supposed to know what guns to use in what situations in CSGO? Especially the pistols, I always just use the mac10 or the deagle. Why would someone pick the machine guns? And would you only use shotguns if you are designated to do something like defend a small room or building?

Although it seems easier to figure out than in 1.6 or Source.

And apparently Valve has not added sprays to CSGO. I find this upsetting.
Title: The Official Valve Games Thread
Post by: Thor on August 22, 2012, 09:14:07 PM
The thing about Counter Strike is that some weapons are just way better than others and the only balance is how much money you have to spend on them. The Desert Eagle is the best pistol (or at least the most popular), but it's really expensive for a pistol. It's the best IMO because it can kill in 1 shot with a headshot. If you can afford it and aim well the AWP is the best rifle because it can instantly kill on a body shot. It's stupid expensive too though. AK-47 and M4 are solid rifles that are great all-around.



I usually go with duel berretas though and spend all the rest of my money on flashbangs which i use to annoy my own team though.



About valve.... they do NOT care about what your spray is. I've never heard of anybody getting their account suspended for that.

The Tec-9 can do that too, though it does less damage on a torso shot than the Deagle. It has a 32 round magazine and costs only $400.

Anyway you can never go wrong with the AK or M4. The Galil and the FAMAS are good if you don't have enough cash for the other rifles. AWP if you're confident enough with your aim.

You can also just grab whatever and have fun (except shotguns since they suck).

I've actually been favoring the p250 for a pistol lately. It's got a fast fire rate, good clip size, good enough power to kill on headshot, and remains decently accurate while moving. Plus then you have enough money to afford a grenade with it round 1.

On maps with a good amount of opportunities for close to mid range combat, I've been favoring the MP7. It's a really good smg and rather cheap. Being an SMG it gives great returns on kills. (SMGs and shotguns give $900 on kill, rifles give $300)
On maps like Italy with mostly ranged play, I favor the Galil and FAMAS right now. I like that they are cheaper than the m4/ak and they feel like good alternatives.

Really in this game I don't feel pigeon-holed into getting DEAGLE AK/M4 AWP. All but a few of the guns feel viable.

EDIT: Also you may be surprised to find that the shotguns are situationally decent in CS:GO.

Quote from: Buttplug;1919163Alright thanks for the info man. I probably just need to play more to figure the rest out. I'm still stumped on the machine guns though, do they have any use at all?
I choose my weapon based on the map and/or what spot I know I want to head for on it. If I'm heading for LongA on Dust 2 I might go with a rifle, but if I'm heading towards tunnels, shortA, or B I might go SMG. You'll just get a feel for it as you play. As for the heavy machine guns, every weapon has a defined recoil spread. Some guns have kind of a T spread shape, others deviate higher, others might deviate to one side and up. You have to learn the spread of your gun to be able to do anything but burst fire effectively. The HMG's can be used reliably in this game, afaik their spread heads significantly above the cursor. Here's a video of a guy stomping a horrible group of random pubs with it. Note that running around like this will get you instantly killed against teams with any sort of coordination.

EDIT: Also, sprays are in CS:GO you just need to manually turn them on.

Post by: Thor on August 29, 2012, 07:27:42 PM
I know how to make sprays work. I'll message you next time you're on and explain it if you have any difficulty. Basically you need BOTH a .vtf and .vtm file put in /Program Files/Steam/steamapps/team fortress 2/tf/materials/VGUI/logos/

The .vtf and .vtm files for the spray must also have the same file name. So for example, if I have a spray of slurpeebutt I would need to have both "slurpeebutt.vtf" and "slurpeebutt.vtm" in my /logos/ folder. once you do that, they should both appear in your spray list.

Your spray list is located in the TF2 application under options -> multiplayer. You must select which spray you wish to use from that list. You can put as many different sprays as you want into your /logos/ folder and they will all appear on this list and work. Note though, that you can not switch sprays in the middle of a game. You have to wait for the map to change before spray changes take effect, or leave and rejoin the server.

http://tf2.explodingjelly.com/

I use the above website to make sprays in TF2 because it quickly and easily converts animated .gif images into animated sprays. It also has options to create fade over distance sprays and sprays with transparency.

Awesome, thank you Thor. I had it half working for a while with this method but I broke it. Now I can spray my stupid anime titty avatar all over

I gotta admit half the reason I want this is because it feels like Valve is telling me I can't have it.

EDIT: alright I got it working. I found a fix (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=32316465) for people who keep getting the default marksman spray even after selecting your own file in TF2.

You should type in the commands like this:

cl_playerspraydisable 0
cl_logofile "materials/vgui/logos/yoursprayfilename.vtf
bind t "impulse 201"


Obviously 'yoursprayfilename.vtf" is the name of your VTF. You will have to create a directory called "logos" in your \Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\materials\vgui folder. I also added in the VMT file just in case. Press t to spray.

[U2]big picture[U2]

Okay so I was testing this tonight and it's pretty awesome. With it you can basically temporarily turn your pc into a gaming console, with fully functional steam access and a full on pc web browser.

Basically the only games that can't be run through steam are origin games, so as long as the game has controller support you're good to go. You can use mouse and keyboard as well with big picture but I'd be using it for playing comfortably with a controller.

The interface has a pretty intuitive layout and design that only took me a few minutes to get used to. It's easily navigated with a controller and there's very little wasted space. Compared to the PS3's XMB menu, the Steam big picture is miles ahead as far as layout and design. There are some bugs, I accidentally made the interface glitch its layout once and I had to close it. It's still a beta so I'd think they will be ironed out.

Really this move by valve has just done 3 things for me. I now care much more about pc game controller support. I now dislike Origin even more because of incompatability. Valve has also just taken away one of the two advantages of consoles that kept me supporting the PS3. I preferred multiplayer games on PC because of mouse and keyboard for obvious reasons, but I like being able to play single player games comfortably.* Now I can do that just as well with the PC as I can with the PS3. Besides PS3 exclusives and some EA games I'd rather not get from origin, I don't know how much I'll be using my PS3.**



* I am aware I always could just hook up my pc to my tv and run games before this, but having to get back up to respond to steam messages or go on the internet always made it defeat the whole purpose.

** I never really cared to sit in front of my pc to play something like street fighter but now I may even switch to pc for that as well.

These idiots don't seem to understand how much being on steam will raise their sales. Yeah they could sell it on their own, but they'll only have like 1/3rd the sales or less. When you consider that the cut that Steam takes could be considered an advertisement fee.

So far from this Total War promo week I've gotten these five things in genuine quality for TF2 just from owning the games.

http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Stovepipe_Sniper_Shako

http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Foppish_Physician
http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Distinguished_Rogue
http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/King_of_Scotland_Cape

I have my Demo wearing the wolf helmet and the cape, and that medic misc goes absolutely great with my grimm hatte and blighted beak.
The sniper hat is pretty good too.

It got me to boot up the game again at least and my oh my there's a lot of new stuff in TF2 since I stopped playing last year. Several new game modes and a buch of other stuff it seems I missed out on.

I'll be picking up Shogun 2 when that deal happens, probably tomorrow. It's the only one I don't own. There will probably be tf2 promo items for that too.

Guess who just finished their third complete expert run of MvM?

The answer is ME! THORCLOCK!

Also I have 12 extra tickets now from trading away one of my botkiller weapons. I'm going to keep workin at this shit until I get a diamond one. Also, if anybody manages to complete any expert mission with me I'll give them 2 tickets for free. Literally every clock I've tried to do a mission with has ragequit though.

EDIT: So apparently it's very common to spend 8 hours on Mannworks. I've joined many many games with people that said they spent 8 hours on it. I myself have spent 2 hours or more trying to beat the final wave before giving up. It's pretty fucked up. I have that piece of shit map memorized now though. It's taking less and less time. I think by my 5th tour Ill have it down to an art.

EDIT 2: According to stats.tf (http://stats.tf/item/871/Operation_Gear_Grinder_Badge) there are only two level 4 badges in existence. That doesn't count private backpacks, but still: i am the 1%

The game runs beautifully when it doesn't crash. I run it on all high settings and get a perfectly smooth framerate. It seems that with the recent patches that the crashing may have subsided though? Watch, now that I said that it will start crashing again.

Also yeah competitive is broken at the moment but at least Valve are working on it and listening to what fans are asking for. I have no doubt they'll get it in working order the way people want it. It will probably take a while though.

Deagle used to be better in GO but they nerfed it.

Also give me back sprays, valve.

Frankly I'm happy the Deagle got nerfed. I'd rather have more than one good pistol option in the game. Deagle is still the best pistol for someone who is good at pulling off a fast headshot, but it's not the end-all solution to pistols now.

Global Offensive's weapon balance is the best in the series, in my opinion. It gives a lot more options than in previous games. Previous games, the only guns you should ever really buy were the Deagle, MP5, AK47, M4, or AWP.

In GO, I actually don't feel obligated to use any of those. I typically use the P250, UMP45, Galil, Famas, though I do sometimes use AWP. Shotguns and HMGs are also viable.

GO is definitely my favorite in the series.
