Oh, so you're Matt. Bastard :p Got me twice in a row at the cart. Nice going.

And, yeah...Demo, medic, and maybe Scout are the only classes I'm decent at. Everything else is just shameful. Will have to practice some more with them offline.

Don't do that. Just go to the Valve servers if you need practice.

I think I might take a break from TF2, I'm spending too much time caring about what Hats I have rather than getting better at the game.

Pfft, if you are good with Demoman you don't even need the other classes. He does it all.

Is there any reason why the auto-scramble isn't working? I played 6 rounds or so and the teams kept stacking (kept seeing the same good players load up onto one team - not going to name names) and auto-scramble would have really helped.

Every time I see a clearly new Pyro on the GAF server rushing straight at people with the Backburner I die a little inside.

Autoscramble is really weird. Like 75% of the time it'll switch more than half the server around, and there's no real discernible reason.

It's random, which is the default.

It's supposed to scramble based on stats, but it relies on another plugin to do that and the second plugin doesn't work properly so it reverts to random scramble. It works for some people, and doesn't work for other people (including us) for reasons unknown.

The second plugin also isn't maintained (it's still an alpha build) and hasn't been updated since 2009. ;(

I feel I have seen more lopsidedness lately in terms of one team having like 8 people on my friends list and the other having 1-2. That might just be coincidence though.

I am at exactly 120:00 hours as Medic on my Steam account. As celebration, I will not play Medic for the rest of this week. Or just tonight. Or until I get pissed.

Also, after calming the hell down, I am way better at this game. Did between okay and good tonight.

I have as well, but it's still not as bad as when there was no scramble. All of the good players would end up on BLU and it'd be a boring steam roll.

If I say so myself, Upward was pretty lame. I was on top of my team during offense, and I was the engineer.

Stop forgetting about the cart fellas! Had to suicide push on the first 2 points.

I got you. I'm still a noob with the class at under 10 hours, but I'm learning, and even scrub medics like me are helpful. :)

I make it a policy to chuck a sandvich at a Medic who is healing me, or any other injured person I see if I'm already full.

Random acts of kindness, man.

Someone posted this on SA and it's too funny not to share. Keep in mind, this is night team. The guys that use every annoying trick in the book to get people to play on their servers and donate (fake player counts, bots, premium features, etc.).

Best quote:

I wouldn't even go through all that shit of making a new Steam account, just to aimbot for 15 minutes. It isn't even fun, I mean, what's your profit as an aimbotter? Everyone hates you and the only thing you gain is a high score and probably be the #1 on the scoreboard... for 15 minutes.

Really pathetic.

Oh wow, I didn't even notice that game.

You guys were right, playing against better people (instead of just the Valve servers) would improve my game, and it definitely did. [img]http://i.imgur.com/3AQmK.gif

It's funny, I was looking through my items a few days ago when I noticed the backburner can now airblast. How long as it been able to do that? I was all, "WUHHHHHH" when I saw it and it blew my mind. That 50 ammo per airblast stings.

They added it a while back, while also dropping its damage by 5%.

Likewise. I try to throw sandviches around, and I even got that award for protecting the most medics or whatever, way back in the day. :D

Do people have to wait for the sandvich to hit the ground, or can I just chuck it at someone and have them auto-eat it? I've been throwing them into people's paths just in case, but if it can hit them before, then that's even better.

I'm actually not 100% sure. I think it works if it just hits them, but I try to throw it in people's paths to be safe, unless they're running right at me. In fact I'm like 90% sure that I have thrown it at a medic who's running at me and it works.

Depending on your mic, volume can be set wherever, it just depends on the sensitivity. When you adjust it in Steam or TF2, you'll be able to listen to yourself to see how load you are.

And the voice communication with team or all is dependent on the server. I know on Janky-Ass alltalk is on, meaning everyone can hear you.

Hmmmm, maybe I'll jump on the mic tonight...If I do though, be warned guys, I'm only 17 so...yeah =\

Configure the settings in Steam. Check settings, and there's a tab that says Voice. You can change the key to talk in-game, mine is C.
