The one thing I really hate about the Pyro is their inability to really combat a heavy. Even if you do a puff and sting, they still have around 100 health. Getting two axe shots in before a heavy kills you is a miracle. Even if you do manage to take them down by strafing or axeing, the rest of the team probably knows where you are by now and you're dead.

Going 1-on-1 at point blank range against a full-health heavy means you will probably die? Sounds fair to me. :P

Don't take heavies on head to head. Don't bother trying to ambush them from behind unless they either are engaged from the other direction or aren't spun up at all. In the time it takes a heavy to spin up you should be able to kill him with the axstinguisher or get his health low enough, back off, then re-engage with your shotgun when he thinks you're gone.
 
So I decided to play on a random server after the GAF server crashed or something.

As soon I came out the gate right next to the second point on Badwater, the BLU team captured it, and the gate closed on me....well, it sent me under the map.

I'm finding the Pyro much more enjoyable now. Though there seem to be some maps (well just one so far, but I've only played on three of them) where he just cannot ambush. The map in question is basically a huge bridge that separates the two bases, and each base has a sewer.

I'm also having fun with the Scout, but I got depressed after reading that two shotgun shots should kill any class but the Heavy. I swear I pumped 4 shots into a Soldier and he didnt die, but now I realize I must have missed nearly all the shots (I could have sworn I saw blood...).
 
Oh yes. 2fort. A once veritable classic from Quake 1 TF and TFClassic, an icon of online multiplayer and map design.

Now it's considered the worst map in the game.


edit: well no hydro is the worst but 2fort is a close second


edit2: Also realize that there is damage falloff based on distance. At point blank range, yes, the Scattergun can kill nearly anything below a Heavy in two shots. At farther range you're going to see less damage.

If the Heavy is spun up in the opposite direction, Puff n' Sting is nearly a surefire kill as a backstab or headshot. Easy peasy.

Go into options > multiplayer > advanced. There's an option to make the game play a sound every time you hit someone and another to show the damage numbers above the person you hit so that you know how much damage you've done.

Man that should default to on. I can't imagine playing without the damage numbers being displayed anymore.

Same...I used to leave it off, now I can't live without it.

Obsessed, After Wedensday if you do not have an axtinguisher yet ask here for one. Someone will get their 500th in a random drop and will be happy to give it to you.

Obsessed, if you need anything I'll be happy to give to to you, I think I have extras of nearly every weapon, and I just make them into metal anyway. Check pages 5 and 6 if you want anything.

Yeah, I love seeing the numbers.

Recently I turned on the "ding" sound when you hit someone. Now I can't play without it either, haha.

Make sure to set the high and low pitches too. That way it goes DONG when you hit someone for lots of damage and dnk when you hit someone for little damage.

I don't know why people still use tf2items. TF2B is so much better. It loads faster and puts everything on a single page.

My steam name "Artemis Clivefrog" works on TF2Items but not TF2B. Explain that!

oh and I still play without dings, dongs, and other damage indicators!

Anyone have a crappy but craftable hat they don't want? I'll pay 1 ref 1 rec.
Click to expand...

Don't sell your craftable hat for less than 1.5 refined (1 ref + 1 rec + 1 scrap + 1 weapon). This is the true minimum value of any craftable hat, since crafting 1 hat = 3 refined or 2 craftable hats.
 
Obsessed said:
I got a Mann Co. Supply Crate, and I dont want to buy an unlock key. Can I find keys randomly?
Click to expand...

Nope, you can trade metal for keys though. The price you should be paying is 2 refined + 1 reclaimed. Anymore and you're overpaying and any less and you're getting a good deal.
 
ArtistDude88 said:
Effin' A. That's like over 2 months of metal saving (for us folks with 1 account) for a stupid key. Trading economy in this game can go screw itself >:\
Click to expand...

Wow, it takes that long of a time to get that little amount of material?

I think I may just avoid the trading economy.
 
Keys are a waste of time, period. 1% chance of getting an unusual hat means you'll be opening hundreds of crates before you get an unusual hat.
Most of the time it's just worthless junk you already have.

You're better off trading metal for hats instead of metal for keys.
Trading for hats, makes sense IMO. You can get most hats for just a refined or two.
Better to get a hat you like for cheap, than unbox yet another huntsman from a crate.

The worst part is when you uncrate a really awesome hat... that you didn't really uncrate.

A Sunbeams Defiant Spartan would be worth a crazy amount, in trades or resale.
 
Oh, I experienced my first "Pyro is a noob class that takes no fucking skill, play a real class." ranter today. I made sure to ask him what class took skill so I could have fun the proper way.

Fuck that guy. He just doesn't get the spirit of TF2. Don't even listen to dickbags like that.

Edit: Also, he probably sucks and dies to every pyro in the world.
 
I give mad respect to pro pyros, which I abbreviate to the "pryros." As a soldier, they're easily my bread and butter. It's a 2 rocket 100% guaranteed kill 90% of the time, and it works every time. I'm very impressed by anyone that can play them effectively, and would gladly offer up my mouth to put your penis in if we met irl.

What constitutes a pryro for you then? Effectively using airblast? Shotgunning you from distance?

Those things, knowing when to support, knowing when to ambush, being a team player (protecting a sentry nest or medic) etc.

But why should he care? It isn't like it is a broken class.

Also this is an opinion coming from a newb, but if any class is "W+M1 lol no skillz" it is the Heavy.

LOL. I think you'll fit right in.

Remind me to play more pyro. On a completely unrelated note, Where do you live Borg?
