Well, of course! That's the case for anything with that characteristic. d:Hitokage said:It's probably one of the more accessible, as there isn't much to the Soldier that's TF2 or even TF-specific, aside from the clip.
...but being a good soldier is another matter.
Also the rocket jump is TF-specific, isn't it? ...Probably not, I wouldn't really know.
Am I the only one who hates the Heavy? My classes of choice are Scout (even though I suck), Demoman (though I haven't touched him in a while), and Soldier (I think I'm pretty decent with Soldier actually).
TF2 is really just destroying any free time I had.
Good games last night. You might have seen me (wachie) playing not-too-bad as a spy .. so add me to your friends list. So far I'm good with the Engineer, Spy, Demo & Sniper. I started playing as a medic since yesterday (was healing 140.85 or warcock or JoeFu ) and we were winning most of the time. The other team was hopeless mainly because they had no medics. :lol
Of the custom maps, I liked Castle & Warpath. Both maps are fairly enjoyable for most classes. I say most classes because Castle was a sniper fest, so I switched to spy and took out the red snipers. We then raided the cps and won in a matter of minutes. As long as you have players on your team who realise the need of the situation, you will win or have a really tight contest.

everytime you die you lost 3/4th the points your killer gets.
Oh and I put a cap on kills. Most points you can gain is 5 points.
So lets say you die to a shotgun from pyro. its 2 points. and lets say Puyo was asssiting (healing), that's another 3 points. 5 points total. 2 to the pyro and 3 to the medic. YOu (dead guy) lose 4 points (rounded to nearest whole) and the cap for a loss or gain is 5 points total.

I guess, I've been missing it in rotation. After Heroes tonight, I demand warpath action!

Didn't play too much last night since I wanted to watch the end of the baseball game. But I had fun defeating the Blusers a few rounds :lol
I'll be on tonight since stats are wiped clean, gotta gain my points back!

Any chance we could have one server only have the standard maps and have the other include the custom maps in the rotation?
It may have been fixed since, but I noticed an error with warpath when I played on it. Regardless of how many points my team had captured we still respawned WAY back at the first respawn. In the TFC map you respawn by the farthest point your team has captured. Sort of like what happens in Granary and Well.

You should be receiving refunds. PayPal locked the account due to me receiving international "donations". After almost a month of fighting it out, they are closing the account and refunding the money.
If you wish to redonate (I would love you forever) you can use the Amazon system or I try to work something somehow (snail mail even).

I actually like Lazytown (it's really fun, but needs optimizing; being in a few certain spots will cause some slight framerate jumpiness. Some weird glitches will sometimes cause early overtime, and tele exits will sometimes self-destruct if placed in the wrong spot.) and Crazedacre.
However, I hate Castle. Hate hate hate.
There were two other custom maps I played today:
ctf_respect-b4: I liked it a lot; very basic and small, but loads of fun; classic 2fort style, sans water, tunnels, or bridge, just about 20 yards of desert separating bases; accessible rooftops that can be easily defended or attacked; intel is up on a balcony surrounded by some short walkways, allowing for good defense while letting a fast good player grab the intel and drop down quick to avoid defensive fire; two big rocks provide nice cover for an escaping capturer, attacker, or defender; mid-sized open rooms separated by narrow cramped corridors let you corner and outmaneuver enemies, whether on offense or defense. Some weird bits (a short tunnel on the right side of each base that leads to... er, a wall...), and some missing textures on a small surface or two, but still good.
cp_orange_x: "Hey guys, let's take an old DoD map and turn it into a TF2 map. Even better, it's one of those unimaginative orange grid maps that a first-time player thinks is cool at first, then realizes that it's just lazy. The annoying bright colors that all players clash with, and wide open spaces that make you cannon fodder for snipers and sentries, sure is good level design. Also, let's have walls that allow you to box the other team into their own spawn point with sentries, a high tower in the middle that gives snipers a view of three control points and both base entrances, and absolutely meaningless fluctuations in terrain elevation. It'll be great."

I have respect on the servers, but no orange. There was a reason why I passed on it and cannot remember.
Old?

Zero Punctuation on TF2
"Alot has been removed from the original Team Fortress Classic model, but for all it's instubstantiallity, it's incredibly well-balanced now. There's a role for everyone regardless of what sort of game you like. The Heavy for uncomplicated damage soaking thickies. The spy for your backstabbing stealth game dirtbag. And the sniper for those who like ponit-and-click adventure games. Althoughy admittedly the only puzzle is "use gun on man". D - YES)
The complete omission of grenades sounds wierd at first, but it means that new players don't feel alienated by those tireless obsessives who're all mastering the fiddling little bastards while everyone else is out having sex with girls.

the servers are dead empty! stay home gaffers start filling up the room.
ICY: If I expedite monies, will you remove Castle from the rotation?
It's a sniper-fest. On one of the stages, the weenie snipers would hide on the blue ramp down out of their spawn, just inside the garage door. Anyone approaching from any angle they could see would get picked off.
Apart from that, it's just too freaking big. It feels like I'm taking a cross-country trek to get anywhere.

This is what the middle area will be like, two trenches going across, sewer tunnel entrances, etc.. :
