Well there's also no weapon slot for sappers...Forkball said:

Oh wait, you mean on Thundermountain Stage 1, in that little house right after the A point bridge? I didn't run in there much as a Pyro as I felt it was a terrible spot to defend. Every time I did walk in there I would get killed by people coming around the corner. I pretty much save that house as a flank route and temporary uber building point.Kuro Madoushi said:

I can understand not spy checking normally, but the way Kuro described it it sounded like the demoman was just standing by the dispenser as a spy was sapping it. If you are right next to something being sapped you can easily pull out your melee weapon and whack anyone standing near it.
As far as spychecking goes as Demo I just whack everyone with the caber.
If they don't explode, they aren't a spy.
If they do explode, they were a spy.
As Scout I think I'll start running milk to deal with dead ringers (just throw the milk as soon as spy "dies", it'll reveal them and take away their damage reduction), extinguish myself and others, and help the team take out tough enemies and pushes. That health regain really helps out against Heavies and splash classes.

Sentry in corner with dispenser right next to it. Demoman is standing in corner next to dispenser.
Spy comes in and is dancing in front of sentry and dispenser sapping it.
Jackfrost...how would you deal with a spy as a demo...? Seriously?
1. Switch to melee?
2. Put stickies on the ground next to dispenser and sentry?
3. Move up and get backstabbed to remove his disguise so that another sentry will get him?
Proven, this was on Barnblitz on the final point when we were defending (nevermind even attacking when it was just as bad).

No. Not unless he was really good with it. STILL, I wouldn't have raged had he done something. Sigh, oh well, live and learn.chuckddd said:

me personally...I wouldve tried to melee him if he was that close.
All i was saying is being new to a class (especially demo) can be tough...and when it comes to spies in that situation I can see freeezing up.....not everyone is wartime or experienced in every situation.....like you said, live and learn (after all this I highly doubt hell do that again

And Kirby, we had 2 pyros already. Lotta good they did.
All this talk makes me want to edit and upload my video where I gave a spy hiding in the corner the old swirly hand taunt kill from the engie.

Heavy wearing a dress ruins that otherwise excellent image.
My building's internet went out, while I was playing with Artestdood against a bunch of idiots. A sniper on the first stage of gold rush just let me shoot him with the Ambasadoor at long range. Sure, I missed the first 3 shots, but he didn't seem to notice at all. Got a head shot finally, then a second shot off, but the sniper had the danger shiled on so he still had a few points of health. Now, I figured he would just gone back to spawn, just he was on his spawn's roof. Backed up a few feet, and there he is, still sniping.
All this over 15 seconds. While I was just standing there, in the open, no one paying any mind to me.

Just a quick question about that steam trading beta; about how many items would I need to trade in order to get enough money for skyrim? Here's a link to my backpack. I trust gaf to not rip me off =P

Alright thanks.. I really have no idea of the value of tf2 items let alone how the steam trading thing works so I thought I'd check to see how much I can get off of my eventual purchase.

How do you guys even use the Ambassador? I can't even imagine trying to use it. I can't aim for shit.

Aim for head, shoot, wait for crosshair to shrink, repeat. It's not very accurate if you just spam it, and it does less damage than a regular revolver on body shots. So! Good if you can aim. But not very worth it if you can't.

Those were some great rounds, really enjoying the Mad Milk. That one round on Coldfront was amazing, just popping in between the doors occaisonally milking large crowds and firing off from a distance to recover some health. Also got the milk off on Meta a few times after he dead ringered, which is always fun.
Playing on GAF is really helping me improve, my kd ratio is almost up to 0.7 from about 0.4 when I started.

I had a good session.
I'm really really liking the liberty launcher. Because it travels so much faster your mid range accuracy goes up a ton and you get more damage in against people falling back.
Really feels like it makes up for the lost rocket with the extra damage output, it feels like you get 45's instead of 25's most of the time.
Paired with the buff banner I'm liking it so far.

today was something like 4 so that was good. Each team had 2 medics most rounds.

Okay. So let's say that I'm playing Soldier, and I spot someone on my team acting weird. I shoot them with a rocket, and it turns out to be Metaphorically/ArtistDude/RandomJerkface using the Dead Ringer. At this point, I really don't know what to do.
Ugh. In the hands of someone who knows what they're doing, DR sucks. I totally get why you guys complain about it so much.
- I could try to chase him down, but the nature of the cloak is going to make that insanely difficult. If I succeed, that's great, but he's still forced me to engage him for at least 6.5 seconds, and it'll take me another 6.5 seconds to get back to the action, so it's still not a total loss for him.
- If I try to chase him down and don't find him, at best I've wasted time for nothing. At worst, he's stalking me and will take me down the moment my back is turned.
- Or he could be a failspy, uncloaks poorly, and gets taken down easy. But that doesn't generally happen on the GAF server.
- So what I usually try to do is announce it to my team, grab the nearest ammo pack, and move on - ever vigilant and listening for the uncloak. But he still partially wins because now I'm paranoid; I'm checking my back, I'm moving slower, and generally being less effective. And it seems that I end up getting backstabbed anyway.

Phssss. I don't use DR, 'cause I'm awesome!
I shoot with rocket. Follow general area for a second or two and spot if any metal is near by.
If there is I'll shoot near it to try and blast the spy away from it, decloak him, grab the metal and kill him.
If there's too many exit pathways, fuck it.
I turn around every second anyway.
