Don't change anything, as awesome as everybody having Mediguns would be.
Well I don't think anyone's asking for a permanent change. But it might be fun for a little bit.

I suggest scout with all the spy weapons.

Scout with rocket launcher. Mayhem :D

If by mayhem you mean lots of rocket spam with very few hits, I'd definitely agree. The only way you really get scout kills is because they need to get close to shoot you with the scattergun. Take away the need to get close, and oh boy. Slow moving rockets and fast moving scouts wouldn't be very pretty.

Obviously assuming it'd be 12 scouts vs 12 scouts. Cause nobody would want to play any other class.

I haven't kept up with map releases and what not, but has there been any high quality ctf maps released yet from the community? While I absolutely love 2fort, its the only ctf map I can play atm, I hate the other game types. =x

I would frigging love it if The Rock map was updated by valve or the community.

Definitely being cocky. "Man when you switched to that team we finally had a stalemate." "Yeah, I guess that's what having a couple good people does."

It doesn't sound so bad now that I type it out. But hey when is text ever good at that sort of thing?

Then again, maybe they were just being friendly?

Hey whatever. In other news, since I've been sucking so much with demoman lately, I've been trying other classes, and I love engy. Which is odd, because I hated it at first. Hated it a lot. Of course, I don't just hide behind my sentry and hit it with a wrench. I'll jump around to other people's sentries and pump 'em up or chase people down a hallway. I also like to stand back and lure in the spies with an unguarded sentry. That's fun!

Granted, doing all that lands me with tons of dead sentries on my end, but it's fun. (Probably not very helpful, though!)

It's a shame I get 100+ ping to the GAF server, pretty much limits me to Medic =(

I didn't think they were that bad. Although I came in late and after we beat them on Dustbowl, somebody mentioned they finally got a tuff match and all quit. So maybe I missed the action.

I'm really hoping my internet connection stops sucking. 4 percent packet loss on the first hop:(

It was a really nice game tonight, puyo was an awesome medic and the first medic Ive seen that boosts and ubercharge demomans which are really powerful in offense which many other medics doesnt understand. Demomans are better to ubercharge instead of soldier when it comes to take out sentrys because they have stickies that they can detonate when they want instead of soldiers that have rockets that shoot one at a time, to destroy a sentry like that soldiers often need lucky crits, demoman doesnt. Good job puyo :D

Puyo definitely knows what he's doing. Soldier ubers in a wide open space are tuff to do much. But they're great for tight space defending/capturing.

I can't believe how close I came to capturing that Castle CP at the last moment. The sentry in the distant waited so long before it started firing too. If I could have held my rockets a little longer, I could have had ammo against the demoman who got me.

I get 100+ on East (despite living in fucking Ohio) and I do fine as whatever I want to play! (Usually.)

I used to get 30... I don't get why it's so high lately, but whatever.

Seriously, it's awesome. I love being an uber'd demoman and getting on the last point and dropping a bunch of stickybombs and taking everyone out (for some reason, I'll never figure it out, people like to crowd around the ubers). Normally that would kill me as well as the defenders, but uber'd? Woo fun.

Yeah. I really wish there was a GAF server in Seattle or something. Being a spy with 100 ping sucks. Seriously.

It's also hard to justify to my friends why I want them to join a server where they get 100 ping :(

uh 100 ping is perfectly fine on any sever. You can pretty much play upto 250 on TF2 and you're fine.

Yeah my friend was telling me 100 ping is absolute shit and I was baffled. I do just dandy. (Like I already said, hah.)

The Specialists, though. Old Half-Life mod my friend forced me to play. Anything over 100 felt like 500 would feel in TF2. Not exaggerating.

Also, awesome round of Dustbowl on East just now. Poor n0b. Medics don't like him. ;_;

I understand switching who you're healing when behind the lines, but they kept dropping me while I was the main attacker and I had gone out into the open. ):>

The 100 ping whining is bull, I'm often around that and I'm 2nd ranked.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I'm guilty of the same thing. But I'm learning. I don't play medic much! How about this:

I'll be your personal medic...

...If I'm not killing you.

Gyahaha.

There's a certain zen to playing sniper. :D

Haha, ya. I got on a roll all of a sudden at one point during Part 3 Dustbowl when you weren't guarding that spot.

Had my best life as a Scout also in that first Well round.

Sooooo glad finals are over :D

Gotta say though, playing sniper in dustbowl on offense is a bitch.

Those 101 guys were ok, but sore losers. The teams were stacked for quite a while, getting wins on well in like 1 or 2 minutes, multiple times in a row. Wasn't very fun, and quite a few people were leaving. Then when a few more regulars joined (Stalker, puyo, Doytch) I joined the opposite team on the next map together with these regulars. WHen the 101 guys lost 1 hard fought match (definetely not a walk over), they quit... :lol

If you think Fallout 3 looks awesome, I'm guessing you're not a big fan of the first two, or played them?

Bethesda is going to assrape the Fallout franchise so bad :(

Ah well, I hope that was really them last night then, the V101 clan. Kicking they collective arses makes me feel warm and tingly inside :lol

I'm Stalker. But I did think it was funny when I joined to help and not only were you on their team, but me and Puyo also got placed on the team because they were short handed.

When we had Gaf vs 101 on Dustbowl it was fun. It was nice to have Stage 3 be winnable with coordinated attacks again. Also nice to have Gaf finally win against a group of clan players.
 
Yeah. Never worry about ping unless it's actually noticable. Most people in Gunz: The Duel will tell you that you are Austrailian or European scum and that you are worthless if your ping even breaks 100. =/ Needless to say, I was considered traitor to my own country because I hated this attitude so much.

Then I got the Orange Box, and left that game forever.

I have not played them, but I love them. (It makes sense if you think about it.) Nostalgia is like a disease.

It's like those people who say "the new Well sucks, the old Well was better". Why don't you think of it as a different map? It's not that bad. It may not be as good but stop comparing it. Same goes for 2fort (even though I hate it). Or any other map. Or people who like Warpath even though the matches always last six hours. Or... Avantiville. What a horrible map that is. Why is it even on the server? ): It might be all right if they tweaked it. And updated it for TF2 instead of just doing a straight port.

Um. That's enough bitching. TF2 is for happy time! Happy happy!

Meh. I dare any of that to challenge us. I can setup a Vault vs NeoGAF match 1 night.. I think they're too pussy to do so though. If I get a PM, I'll make it happen. :D

I don't understand why they haven't made Well Classic yet, or if they did, why nobody plays it. They made 2fort classic.

Well Classic is on the server. I helped work on it, Finishing rock2 now as well.
 
Yeah let's message the Vault group on Steam and set up a real match :D And if we start losing Icy can just do his server hax and teleport people around lol
