Mojovonio said:You can pick the game up pretty fast. Find a class you like and play with it for a few games. You'll pick it up pretty fast.
Masta_Killah said:Agree. You might want to start as a demoman or a medic. Demoman is great for people who are bad at aiming. Spam the field with spikes and you can watch the hilarity insue. Medics are a great and require the least skill. Max out your uber and when the time is right, release your ubercharge.
Of course, a skilled medic is a godsend. I had a match last nite where my team was barely hanging on. Then I came in as a medic and the tide changed. Healed my party members, ubered, and forced the other team back to their first point. They even tried getting me with a spy, but the spy couldn't backstab me since I was constantly jumping around the screen while ubbering(a great counter for lighter classes). The medics needle gun is also surprisingly powerful. It can take out nearly every class except the heavy with just one clip.
chapel said:I One thing I recently learned about the demoman was that when you used the proximity spike grenades that secondary fire explodes them. It totally changes the way to play demoman if you didn't know about it before.
chapel said:I agree that it doesn't take much to learn, just have to play around and have fun. See what other players do as well. One thing I recently learned about the demoman was that when you used the proximity spike grenades that secondary fire explodes them. It totally changes the way to play demoman if you didn't know about it before. I use that as my main weapon just because you can so easily explode it in peoples face!
Masta_Killah said:wha? Damn didn't know that. Wait, what secondary fire? Left trigger?
Very good point. I'll fix the list so it's GT's.Thermite said:Edit: For people adding individuals who are playing in the Thursday game, my gamertag is different than my GAF username. My gamertag is Decamus.
chapel said:Yeah left trigger. I was under the impression that if an enemy went over the spike grenades you put down that they would explode, with the exception of spies because they are either invis or in disguise.
Masta_Killah said:any other class have a secondary fire feature?
JdFoX187 said:I'm in for Thursday. Don't know about hosting. Besada has hosted our games, never had any lag. Might talk him into it. My host is shitty with 16 players.
chapel said:Im up for it. GT is thechapel. I have hosted a few 12 man matches with no lag, haven't tried 16 man. But I think I would be last resort on hosting if there are others with better connections.
Masta_Killah said:Ah finally! I'm definitely in. I'll try to host with my 4Mb line, but TF2 doesn't seem to like me(no problem with other games). Tried hosting a 16 player room and it seems to lag for people in the East Coast. I'll give it a shot and test it out today though.
Question: is there any way to run a private game other than just designating all of the slots to be private? The main problem with this is that the host has to invite everyone, and therefore they have to be on his friends list. With 16 people, it can be a hassle. Not sure if we should leave some spots public and just boot non-GAF people that happen to wander in. If there's a convenient workaround or if you have any ideas, let me know.Quagm1r3 said:If the offers' still up, I at least know a person who has a good connection. I've been playing literally lagless 12-14 player games with him hosting.. it's amazing how smooth it is. He's not a GAFfer however, and I have no idea if he'll even be on on Thursday. I'll have to get in touch with him.
A 12IN is my brother, hes not apart of GAF but is definitely wanting to play tonight. He usually accepts friend requests, but I will make sure he accepts it when he gets on next.Mojovonio said:I'm still waiting for A 12 In and Akujin Alastor to accept my FR.
My gt is Mojo Zomg.
timmy said:Has the live update for this game happened yet? I'm setting aside some TF 2 time for this Saturday and I don't want lag or d/c to ruin it this time around.
Cornballer said:Is Besada going to play tonight? It looks like he's currently banned. Can someone get a hold of him and see if he wants to host tonight?
"Last seen 1 hour ago playing Xbox 360 Dashboard". He hasn't played OB since Tuesday.Masta_Killah said:Someone check his gt and see if he's on. I know he was on for a while yesterday, but he was playing the sp campaign.
Excellent, thanks. Let us know when you hear something.JdFoX187 said:I sent him a message on LIVE. I'll post when he responds. If nothing else, the only thing I suggest is we just give it to whoever said they could host up to 12 people and pray to the Xbox LIVE Gods that we get a good connection. If nothing else, we can always sacrifice a virgin goat.
Good news!JdFoX187 said:Besada said he's up for hosting.
