I love the enforcer. I heard it hits too hard for a class that already has a one-hit kill mechanic.Clydefrog said:
Which is why I always use it on my spy.
I really need to figure out how to get sprays working. I'm sure it won't increase my popularity with the playerbase, but it'd be fun nonetheless.Zomba13 said:
Sounds easy, but none of the images I select load. Perhaps they need to be in a specific format? .gif or something?Yeef said:

I love the Enforcer. It really should nerf something when the user has a Dead Ringer but otherwise I love the gun. Ambassador can still do more damage so it's not like teh Spy never had this kind of output.
Plus Kritz Spies destroys calsses when you don't have many other combat classes around.

Here's how to make your own sprays
And here some pre-made pony ones.

At least the Ambassador has a cool down, and you have to aim to the head to surpass the Enforcer damage output. Enforce is just a more powerful revolver, and the increased cloak time is worthless for a Dead Ringer, and a Spy that knows how to move around (not going stabby happy when there are so many people around).
it really is ridiculously powerful for a class that's not supposed to be a direct combat class. it does the same damage as the shortstop.Sgt.Pepper said:
I think giving it conditional damage, like the Ambassador, the Shahanshah and the Equalizer would be ideal. Which condition is up for debate, but it should do it's current damage in an ideal situation, not all the time.
The downside also needs to be tweaked so that it affects all watches. Maybe change it to 0.5 second longer decloak, that way it affects all watches equally.

OK, so how popular are cheats in TF2?
I'm not the type of person, who after getting completely destroyed, I start lashing out at accuse people of cheating, but I was on a server last night with people that are REALLY awesome, or have some sort of cheat going on.
Whilst playing as a scout, I was getting head shotted from SPIES and snipers within a second of being in their view, yet I'm jumping around the map like a lunatic. Replay was off so I couldn't re watch any of them.
And after emptying a flame thrower tank into a demo, surviving and them me getting easily nailed, someone joked that he had God mode on. Dunno if he was taking the piss though.

Yeah, there was a lot of chat about people donating and such. It was a UK Lotus Clan server. Not sure if it was a server config or something, but some of the names were bolded green in the chat with a small TM on their name.

The nighteam premium servers are pretty fun, even with the occasional lopsidedness. They tend to not have many good players, so it's a nice balance.

I'll avoid them then.
Do people tend to stick with any particular servers with good team play? Anyone like to share some? I know I've only been playing since June, but I'm starting to get frustrated being put in servers with people who just aren't playing properly.

It's the old party server formerly known by TEAM ROOMBA. They are known for some hilarious griefing videos back in TF2's early days. It's got a great, fun, and dedicated community. Great map rotation with break rounds/maps every few games, sometimes there's event maps or karaoke rounds, and best of all and it load fast too.
It's draw can be said to be that it's the only server with the custom jukebox plugin with over 1000 cherry picked & classic songs to choose from, all submitted by the regulars in the community. 1 random song from said pool plays for everyone inbetween map loads, making for a great way to pass the time loading and set the mood for the coming round.

Well not really common. The recent aimbotter I've seen was a few weeks ago on a trade server. He could instant headshot cloaked spies.
Before it went f2p I saw a speed hack heavy and the usual headshotting aimbot sniper. It's really once in awhile and not in every server. Any smart server would have a votekick/ban option to deal with them.

Another server suggestion: Obsessed and I sometimes play on the Critical Failure Gamers Union servers when GAF isn't up. I can't look up their addresses now, but you can find their group.
Anyone have the laugh taunt for sale? I'm offering 2 keys and 1 refined for it (5.66 refined).
Btw what's wrong with European Lotus servers? I play on them alot. They're vanilla with no premium bullshit and mods and they play on stock maps. Ofc, they are 32 player servers, but I don't find anything wrong with them. I play on their 24-man arena server all the time. One of the best arena servers out there IMO.

If you're like me and you aren't very good, the Tested/Giant Bomb server is good too. (tf2.tested.com)

Just asking if there are any cheats out (as I've no idea how to check of any). The games I played in yesterday have been the only time I have come across some crazy stuff, like a Spy that would never miss a shot, and Snipers that always had a headshot no matter how you moved. I know there are some good snipers out there, but to be able to get constant headshots on fast moving/jumping scouts in split seconds was kind of nuts.
Thanks for the other server suggestions. Adding now.

32 player CTF? I don't need to have played there to know it is awful.

I couldn't find that CTF football map anywhere in the nominate or admin menus, sadly. Of course I imagine it's just football-STYLE CTF, and not an actual football field map which would be great.EmCeeGramr said:
It was great how I brainwashed everyone into letting me switch to convoy, though. Lots of people were confused by that map, and Java had some awesome glitch that would shoot him out of spawn and off the back of the ships.
CTF 'Football' is on the nominate menu in its own category (CTF Selivery). There are two maps on the server and we've played at least one of them before. Basically, the way it works is there's 1 neutral intel in the center of the map, you have to grab it and take it into the enemy's base to score.
32 slot server are always horrible. The only map that it somewhat works on is 5gorge, because that map is gigantic, but even then, it breaks the final point.

The only map I could get behind with 32 is Gravelpit, and then again, the last point will be a clusterfuck.

32 BRICKYARD!
64 man Brickyarder.
You need to make brickyard 2 just be brickyard copy and pasted in such a way that it makes a mosaic that's the same layout as brickyard.
[EDIT] How would you guys feel about a mapping contest? Giving GAF players x amount of time to make a map, then playing the resultant maps on the server a few times to determine a winner. The creator would get some kind of in-game prize. My main worry is that there won't be enough people participating to make it worthwhile.

Edit: how idiot friendly is the sdk? I've always wanted to play with it and a map contest could be fun... I'm just scared mine would look like Orange x and I wouldn't figure out how to make it look tf2y.

SDK aint too hard, just a little bit of a learning curve... After watching a few tutorials online somewhere you get the basic gist of things and can be on your merry map making way!
There are already tutorials in the OP.ArtistDude88 said:

I used PH4T3's guide on the Tube. If you watch it, you'll notice a lot of similarities from the tutorial and Brickyard
I thought about map making once, but it's just too time consuming and too much to learn. It might push stuff I've already learned out of my brain. It was really interesting learning about a few of the concepts though, like visleafs. So now I know why most KOTH maps run like shit.

oh noes
I was always more of a QERadiant fan. I might participate in a mapping contest, but it's just been so long since I've used Hammer (or any other mapping program). Plus I've been sucked into Fallout 3 and I've been putting so much time into it. Then by the time I'm done with that Deus Ex will be out. Then I still need to play New Vegas and might move on to Morrowind or Oblivion...
I don't think I should have bought the Quakecon pack D:

I think I need to take a break from this game. I have pretty good internet speeds but this game lags so badly it's almost unplayable. I don't know why it's happening, but it makes me want to throw my laptop out the window. I'm cool with getting my ass kicked but being put in a match where I don't stand a chance because the game won't play properly just drives me up the wall. It's even worse now that I'm trying to get the Scout unlocks. That guy moves so fast he turns the game into a slideshow and his gunshots rarely register.
Have you tried using an fps config tkawsome?

I use dx9 frames with some options turned back up but I'm on a desktop so you might want to keep it default or drop down a but more I dunno.
Hope that helps - I got a good boost
