I finally got the game on PC! I'm elated!
Steam name: DodgerBlues.
What servers do you guys frequent? I'm not great at the PC version, but I can be helpful. I swear!

Hehe. I can't stop playing Pyro on Steel for this very reason. The air blast is seriously badass and it even works awesomely for frontal assaults, by throwing a whole group of enemies aim off and flaming the shit out of them. I usually die, of course, but most of the time i take a few down with me.Sciz said:

Woo, I finally got my ubersaw last night after thinking I'd never get the 22nd medic achievement, I'm liking it so far, in so much as I'll actually use the saw now, rather than avoid it as the risk vs reward of chancing a crit vs getting some uber is much more favourable now.

That's so awesome. The air blast has got to be the single best update to TF2 so far. It was EXACTLY what the pyro needed. It gives him that extra bit of strategic edge to make him better in a one on one fight, but it's also crazy fun to use.
Sciz said:I don't think I dominated you, just Oldschool and Storyteller. And neither of those lasted for long.
I didn't even see Storyteller get on somehow...
You, Kak, and Bunny were rocking the shit out of the four of us in that game of Castle. :lol
Though to be fair, we had one new gaffer that I think was just getting used to the game. The man was awfully excited too, hell of a lot more energetic than us jaded types. :lol
edit: nickoswimmer, I think he was.

That domination icon is like the bat signal. If I see one, it means i'm jumping off of rooftops to get whomever raised it.

We actually did pretty well attacking. Everything fell apart when we switched to defense. I was building in the wrong spot, I think you forgot about the first point, and we got handled. :lol
The arena modes matches we were playing earlier were a bit LOL-like. One match everyone else on the team died, and it was 1-2. I stalked the shit out of whomever and backstabbed them, and finished the other guy off with the revolver, long range. Kak started playing sniper and my god. Every time I went up for a backstab, the person died in front of my eyes. One time I jumped off of one of the ledges in the center, and the backstab animation started. As soon as it did, kak killed the shit out of him. lmfao

So I got the guest pass on Steam and I loved it and decided to buy the full game. I'm still getting used to it, but i'm still getting murdered like every 30 seconds.
Any tips for TF2 virgins? Any class I should start with to get familiar with the game? Server suggestions? Anything?
Bueller?

Play Soldier or Medic and follow around the guys at the top of the scoreboard until you have a loose feel for the major maps and general gameplay. Being a medic boils down to healing the people who need it and not dying, while a soldier can be reasonably effective with simple point-n-click tactics. As for servers, read back a page or two and you'll see our most common hangouts listed; Love Me Sexy is the unofficial GAF server, but basically everyone has just about everyone else friended, and we just jump on whatever server someone else is on.

Page 235 has some good tips from people responding to someone else. If you want, you can start playing on a "noobs only" server, but I'd say just add people from here and join the games they're in. If you want specific servers, we play on circlex-gaming, 2fort2furious, and people have started playing on some F7 server lately. And Cheeto started up his own lately.
And since I'm bored and waiting for sunday night baseball to start, he's more info:
Circlex: 67.222.138.70:27015 (Very good players frequent this server. Still pretty laid back though. If you want to jump in the deep end, feel free. You'll definitely learn fast here.)
Cheeto #1: 75.150.178.18:27016 (All maps)
Cheeto #2: 75.150.178.18:27015 (Arena only, Note the port is different)
2fort2furious: 67.18.19.3:27015 (Lot of customs, 32 people, sounds/weird mods like goomba stomps.)
I don't have the F7 deets, someone else can post those.

So I was on a server where we tried a fail scout rush defense on Badwater. So what do we do? Use the much sounder tactic of engie rush on offense!

Looks like I cant play on Love Me Sexy, as I thought. My ping is way too high.
Me too. However I usually play medic, so I go attack medic on their arse. They never see it coming. Unless I'm playing on a gaf server.
I don't! I usually play on chinese servers.

Why Chinese servers?
After getting sick of the lag on the gaf server way back then i floated around to the ocau forum and the tf2 group. Been playing with those guys ever since. Some of em went off and created a "real" clan and compete in ozfortress etc. Pretty cool.
But i always see yourself, spotless and rlan playing on US servers. Very rarely do i see any of you on aussie ones. I just find it interesting.

Its just how it is, don't be discouraged though. I'd suggest playing Medic and watch how other classes play, plus...1 more Medic on the team can't hurt.
The Storyteller said:
Heh, so do they have a nickname for each class too? I'd like to hear what they are called in Chinese.
Soldier, Pyro and Demoman are the most n00b-friendly, try them. As Engineer or Medic you also can't really harm your team (As long as you know the basics as Engineer), Sniper is also pretty easy to learn (Don't play Sniper on 2fort though - Actually, don't play 2fort period). Stay away from Spy until you get good with the others.

Thanks to MrBob, I just played this on a guest pass for about 2 hours. I am 100% sold. Damn this game is fun.

You really have to know the map pretty well to play most of the classes. That's probably the first big hurdle. Once you know a couple of maps, you could stay to those and play med/engie for a bit. It shouldn't take too long to start getting adjusted.
Medics the one class you could probably have little idea what's going on and still be pretty useful to your team.

Right but you'll still be useless at ubering. You wont know where the turtling spots are or where you'll need to activate the uber for maximum effectiveness.SyNapSe said:
