I know about HLSTATSX. What I meant was stats like "Most dominations" which is currently 3 (Engineer) for me. TF2 tracks a lot of stuff already.
http://steamcommunity.com/id/No_Style/stats/TF2
I was just wondering if all servers and maps are valid for the TF2 stat tracking.
Puyo is awesome. That's really all I meed to say about tonight's matches.
Haha, I dominated 6 different people one round.Spotless Mind said:Great games everyone. A lot of fun, even though we were being dominated the majority of the time. Damn you PillowKnight and Hitokage!! I was dominated by you guys so many times.

A nice kill shot of Spotless from tonight:
Great time as always. I'd like to congratulate PillowKnight for staying alive long enough for us to cap in sudden death on Hydro. That was great.

It was great playing with everyone. The Pyro is so hit or miss with me. I'm still not sure how I feel about the class. But setting people on fire is just too much fun.

So what's up with everyone leaving when it went to 2fort? Is it really that hated?
I know it's a classic TFC map, but it seems like nothing ever happens. It takes forever for someone to even get to the briefcase, then even longer for something to actually be captured. Just a big battle with no consequences for a long time, really.

The new TF2 maps (ie. not TFC ones) were designed from the bottom up with playability in mind. The old 2fort was basically just "hey let's have this massive sniper spot fight with a bridge in the middle", and wasn't designed for gameplay to the intricate detail that the new Valve levels are.peppermints said:
Stuff like the very narrow corridors, the ramp room - that controls all ways for most classes to get to intel, not including scout, soldier, spy and demo - is very easily defended with engineers and sentries and can't really be taken out without a lot of demos and/or ubercharges, and of course the sniper spots covering the roof of the bridge from said soldiers/demos/scouts preventing them from approaching; it all means that 2-fort is far easier to defend than it is to attack. Combine with the natural tendency of players to defend rather than attack, and bingo. 2-fort goes nowhere.

Nice pic fallengorn. I've got some really good kill pics, from today and some older ones as well. I'll try and put them up later.

I'll try and put them up later.I really like 2Fort, but it can become a stalemate rather quickly, as long as there are some well placed and defended sentries. Still, i quite like the close quarters. Makes racking up kills as a heavy rather easy.peppermints said:
Yeah, Puyo you were great as a medic. I was playing embarrassingly bad as a Heavy in the Granary match, though, and i think i got you killed a few times. Sorry!ezekial45 said:

I'm guilty of making it a mission to punch someone out because I figured I'd win the award with just one knockout. I beat down some poor engineer coming out of his spawn on granary.

2Fort rocks. Far too many CP maps in the rotation.

Nobody on blue communicated. :lol Hito and Puyo have mics and coordinate well. I need to get a mic... Red clustered together and bum-rushed the points (which is actually a good way to do it - teamwork and all that).
Oh and Pyro is a little over un-nerfed (that doesn't mean I think they're hard to kill Hito - settle down) if they happen to slip in to your proximity one blast shouldnt mean instant death to a soldier IMO. They upped him just a smidgen too much, but it's nice that the class has some teeth now.
Fix that and the scout shotgun and the balance will be about as perfect as it can I'd imagine.
Oh! Forgot the Ubercharges. That's in bad need of balancing as well I think. Does shooting them do anything like shorten the length of the invincibility? Something should be done with it IMO. Nothing major mind you, just something to shave a little off the total helplessness a defense has when 2 incvincible HWs lumber onto your CP. :lol
Great games today, I loved the round of hydro where nearly all of us blues went scout and just rushed the hell out of the flag. Yay for syringe and MG kill awards...I kinda feel sorry for those who went up against my mg rushes on defense in dustbowl though, I had almost a 3-1 K/D ratio that match.
The best part for me was playing soldier on granary earlier in the night though, got up to 5 dominations before anyone got revenge, and was just really doing well and having fun.
Also, damn you PillowKnight for going 9 hours longer than me total and preventing me from getting my first place back with all those extra points.

its annoying i only get to play around 2 hours with you guys i break top 10 then by morning im outside the top 20
i came out top of the server a few times. even when i was having particular difficulty killing one damn engineer as a spy.... kept taking his turret away from him but couldnt land the killing blow so i think he is like 3/10 k/d in his favour >.<
there was a funny point where my team was like 4 v 5 and we just steam rollered our way through i think it was granary. we would hit a point then kill 2/3 of them cap point and someone else would already be on the next one. got like 3 or 4 total points for that hehehe.

You do realize that they could axe you to death and not take much longer? That was the main problem before. It only does lethal damage when their flamethrower is touching you, and even then it's not instant. Avoid that and you won't have problems. You wouldn't expect to stand still in clear sight of a sniper and not get killed in short order, so why the indignation over the pyro? Close-range effectiveness is their point, and it's very hard to take you seriously when they're so easily countered.140.85 said:
Looking at your stats, you should probably play pyro more. It's actually frustratingly hard to get a decent amount of kills without being careful.
Ubercharges don't last terribly long and you can wait them out in most situations.
Hay guys, Ive got a problem with this baby or rather with all the steam games. Until recently everything worked just fine. However, every time I start the game now there is now cursor showing up. Its definitely there but its invisible. Strange.
edit: Its running on an iMac (new gen) with Vista Ultimate by the way.

But I never said they weren't easily countered. I'm just saying I think the damage is a little too high on the occassion one isn't able to. Not indignation by any stretch, just a thought.

I honestly don't think the Pyro could be nerfed any. As it stands now, one rocket or grenade can kill a Pyro. I've died so many times in close range combat with a soldier or a demo, my flamethrower going full blast a point blank. So I don't think it's a case where as soon as a Pyro gets next to you -- game over.
Actually, I think the hit detection might be off a bit on the flamethrower. Or maybe my computer just can't keep up half of the time. But I've been in situations where the flame is on the enemy, but they take a bit to come a light. The same thing used to happen in TFC on occasion.

Really fun games with yall last night I hate that new map, but the rest were great. 2Fort is boring w/no communication and teamwork, but it was pretty intense if you do work well with the people running with the briefcase.
I was looking at the stats...I almost feel embarrassed by my kill count lol

I'm movin' on up! And ya, to much 2fort yesterday. It wouldn't be so bad but the matches last 10 times longer on that map due to stalemates.

Just shows that kills are not absolutely necessary to get up there in the stats

I think Pyro's are fine the way they are: up close they kill me instantly, at mid range I can usually run away/heal/while somebody picks them off. A good pyro knows the levels very well and is able to pop out at all the tight spots and go on a rampage.
I love cp_granary the best! It's always just pure mayhem and there's so many routes to go through the levels to the Capture Points. The staircase above the 4th (?) CP is always unguarded and usually a good place for Pyro/Demo to hop down and destroy enemies waiting.

Thanks for explaining that. I really didn't have any idea what was going on. I figured it was some sort of special shot, but I didn't know what was causing it.
Actually, I'm still not entirely sure how a critical shot is chosen. Valve says that critical shots are chosen by, "player's momentum on the scoreboard" but what exactly does that mean?
Does it mean that a critical shot is likely if I just got a kill and am now fighting with another enemy? Does it factor in kill assists, defenses, captures?
Does it matter which enemy I'm engaged with? Say I'm fighting someone on the top of their team, am I more or less likely to get a critical shot if I was fighting someone lower on the enemy team?
A couple times I was randomly firing the rocket launcher and got a few critical shot rockets, but I can say that I had absolutely no scoreboard momentum sitting in last place and killing no one.
So I'm still a little confused about the system used to determine these shots. Sorry if this is old news or if it has already been discussed.
New Custom Map cp_wolf. Several people have tried it and have stated this is probably the best of the custom ones out thus far.
