i need to learn how to play engie, because the frontier justice is one sexy beast with crits.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Ha, was on the Giant Bomb/Tested.com server that'll be used for the Thursday Night Throwdown, and I saw a scout rush capping E at the very beginning on Steel for the first time ever.

Also note to attacking Engineers on Steel: don't build your teleport right in front of a window in the E room. It was like a fucking shooting gallery, I felt sorry for the poor guys as I popped their heads open like ripe melons.

I think I normally make a run on E as Scoot every time we hit cp_steel, and I think it's worked maybe 3-4 times (out of 20 attempts). Sometimes it's the only way to break the deadlock at A.

I felt like a fool being a spy running there and then wondering "Now how do I get to the point? Don't tell me those catwalks don't come out till the take C..."

 

[Pinko Marx]

HOLY SHIT. Demoman is the best class ever. I just finally got the Chargin Targe and the Eyelander. I've been in love ever since.

 

[Drkirby]

So, how many hours as a Pryo will I have to play to get 1 Million Damage with fire? Maybe I should think about hitting one of those 24/7 2forts with instantswpan to up it :lol

I should have like several MILLION points of damage for as much Pyro I've played over the years, but apparently the achievement is glitched for me, and stuck permanently at zero.

The fix is apparently wiping your recording stats, but fuck that.

Yeah, I noticed when I wiped my stats that my Pyro one reset. Oddly, the kills I did total reset, but not the kills I did as a Pryo, so I will most likely get the "Kill 1000 people as a Pyro" before "Kill 1000 people"

I'd probably like that more than regular demo, but I don't want to farm the achievements for it. I guess I just need to hope I find them through drops, or at least the shield. I think I can make the axe replacement for the eyelander.

What the fuck? It can be glitched? WTF IS THIS NONSENSE. FUCK THAT SHIT.

 

[Nabs]

just noticed my pyro achievement is glitched as well. good thing i don't care about 'em

Thankfully mine isn't glitched. I've played...82+ hours as pyro, according to my stats, and done 917,477 points of damage!

*edit*
I just got killed, by a spy doing normal stabs with a normal knife in front of me, when he was back into the corner and I was hitting him with the southern hospitality. Unless he got a crit somehow, or unless I somehow had low health and didn't notice, then the southern hospitality seriously takes 4+ hits to kill a spy. Maybe I was missing him at pointblank range, or maybe it was repairing my sentry instead. Anyway, it was weird.

 

[Krauser Kat]

i really dont see me getting some of these class achievements.. without wasting matches trying to get them rather than helping my team. most are reasonable though.

There are a few I am going to have to downright cheat and stage. There is no way I am going to get the one for killing a spy mid taunt without the spy in on it and letting me kill him midtaunt.

The Ax one is going to be hell also. Kill 6 people with the ax in one life. Yeah, real easy.

This one is theoretically possible because there's a spy achievement that requires getting a freezecam shot of that specific taunt over your target's corpse. Still rough though. I lucked into it when someone, I think it was commissar, was running around harvest taunting after every kill.

Dedicate yourself to the art of axtinguishing. It is challenging, but I've seen it done.

 

[commissar]

I don't want to know how many times I've died due to inappropriate taunting

Same, I kept taunting at the capture point on Harvest while trying to take it.

Glad they finally picked the winners, sad I can not access the site to see who won :lol

What directory? I'd like to mess around with the heavy.

X:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\yournamegoeshere\sourcesdk_content\tf\modelsrc\player\classnamegoeshere\parts\maya

Apparently all classes have Maya files now. Just gotta update source SDK.

 

[falastini]

Great, more hats I'll never get >_>.

I just started smelting junk to get my first and I'm over +110 hours.

 

[Won]

Can't believe I just lost a Goldrush, because people decided to go Engineer instead pushing the cart through the cleared area to the last point. I need to physical hurt some animal now......

There were a lot of quality entries, some one had to lose.

There were a couple of Soldier hats that were cool. I'd love a Garrison cap for the Soldier or the MacArthur get-up.

I like the Sniper Croc hat, but was rooting for the Arabian set:

Minor updates (Mostly CSS according to steam)

Did... Did we just get more-than-4-core-support?

WHAT?! I'd take that hat over the Croc one any day. BLARGH.

beard cap, i hardly knew thee..

 

[Boonoo]

There's still hope! Valve is going to be picking runners up and what not. All classes will get some lovin.

 

[commissar]

the other thing is there's nothing stopping them from submitting through the "create your own" website.

 

[fallengorn]

Out of the 70 or so entries that Valve received, Robin tells me that nearly half of the entries are of a high enough quality to be shipped in future updates without much work needed on Valve side. So, if you did not win this time around you can be confident that your items will one day find there way in to Team Fortress 2.

:O

Awesome!

 

[Krauser Kat]

i sucked it up, something fierce tonight. fun games though.

 

[Armitage]

It's pretty impressive how much content has been added since release when you add it all up.

 

[Drkirby]

So, is this going to be the biggest single addition to items though? Really hope the new Flamethrower is useful in battle, and I wonder if the power jack will do something different then the Home wrecker.

They are just skins... right?

 

[Slavik81]

This game is looking less and less like the TF2 I fell in love with every day.

 

[Krauser Kat]

nope, Valve is going to assign them bonuses and stuff

And this is the joy of custom dedicated servers

Are there actually servers that don't let you use community weapons? (or even don't let you use secondary weapons like the direct hit) I guess I haven't played on such servers.

Also, I don't worry TOO much about community weapons because they're almost universally worse than the normal weapons if I'm not mistaken. The homewrecker seems almost totally useless aside from teleporters/dispensers, the engineer wrench is either awful at killing spies or I can't aim it (no crits really hurts), the sniper knife is probably my favorite but got nerfed. The battle axe is fun to use but I don't think it's better than the sword, certainly not better than the stickies.

 

[Sloegr]

I wish that the community content for TF2 had been limited to maps and hats.

 

[Sciz]

Community weapons mostly seem designed to be highly situational, for those odd occasions when you're willing to sacrifice the comfort and familiarity of a default weapon for a very niche but useful special feature.

The battleaxe is lovely though. Close range is the demo's weak zone, and it combines the great flavor of the Eyelander's range with the spicy taste of crits and an extra side of pain. It is also badass.

And now I'm going to get a snack.

 

[Boonoo]

I know that you can make configs that don't allow certain weapons. In the DM servers I play in a lot of things are unequip-able--the sandman for instance. It would be pretty easy to whip up a vanilla TF2 server.

Pretty much it. These additional weapons are nothing more than extra stuff to throw around and have a few laughs over.

 

[firex]

Southern Hospitality really does suck, but I made mine with crap I didn't want anyway so I'm glad to learn that it sucks on my own.

I'll be interested to see what stats they give to these new items. Powerjack might actually be useful if it's different from the Homewrecker, although nothing would get me to play pyro again at this point.

 

[Darkflight]

Woo, it's Friday again - looking forward to some more near exhaustion play till 8am (23 hrs from now) again on the GAF server tonight :lol

 

[MNC]

The only community weapon I really consider using are homewrecker (got it equipped now, love the fast building killin' and sapper killin', spies will be confused.) and the blood kukri. Southern Hospitality I favor over the regular wrench if I don't want to use the gunslinger.

 

[derFeef]

I am afraid playing on the gaf server - ping >150 and you skilled guys. But I´ll try it out this weekend

Just wondering, what made you stop playing pyro? The damage and burntime reduction? I think they un-nerfed it a little, and there's the airblast boost. Not to mention the new flamethrower which I'm sure will be awesome (or useless).

 

[Confidence Man]

The only community weapon I don't care for is the soldier one. The others I find are pretty useful more often than not.
