We should all hop on mumble and go play on pubs as a group next week.
Who's down?
I think I'm busy tomorrow, but I may be free in the evening.

I'd be down. Never posted in this thread before, but I'm looking to play TF2 again with some people.

And I suppose it would be a good idea to drop some server addresses or something during it, so late-comers can hop right in.

Just got home. 10 ET work for everyone?
That's mean. We should all get a completely balanced team and a mix of players with alltalk on and play with good fun and teamsportsmanship!
I'll be on then.

I usually play the game on the regular. Hit me up on steam and we'll go stomp on folks.

That server last night was frustrating. I've never had so many people jump over my direct hit before!

You seemed to have no trouble hitting me.

I suppose that brings new meaning to being an Artful Dodger.
So I'm downloading this right now and I have a couple questions if someone could answer them for me please.
First, I read the OP and this is a quote from it:
What are the few exceptions?
And secondly, like Titanfall most recently and basically any shooter, sometimes I like to play KB/M but other times I like to just sit back, relax and play with a controller. On the steam page it says partial controller support, what does that mean exactly? I can play the game but need to use KB/M for menus or something?

I'm guessing the OP might have been talking about item set bonuses that required hats. At some point, the game was patched to get rid of hat-requiring gameplay-affecting bonuses.
Your guess about menus may be correct. I may have used a 360 controller once or twice with Team Fortress 2 before, but it may not be very enjoyable since everyone is going to be using a mouse and the game on PC is probably designed around that.

As Blizzard said, the few cosmetic based bonuses have been removed for balance reasons. If you want to play with other gaffers join the CapThatPoint steam group. We send out steam announcements when we're getting together to play:
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/capthatpoint-steam
The GAF mumble info should be a few posts up as well, that's usually where we hang out while playing. Hope you like the game! It can be a little overwhelming with all of the weapons and maps that have been added over the years, but you can always start out as medic or pyro and learn the ropes that way. Most of the community is friendly and will gladly answer questions.

So, I'm just now kinda getting back into TF2. When did Flare Gun stop minicritting flaming enemies?
They changed it to a full crit a year or two ago maybe?
Mister Negative
Member
Oh, does it still crit? Doesn't say anything about it on the item description, which is what threw me off. Thought they got rid of it altogether.
I'm just going by the wiki, which seems to say it fully crits. I think item descriptions have been incomplete or misleading for a long time.
Shadow Hog

Pretty sure it's the Detonator that minicrits now.
The Artful Dodger
Member
Yeah Flare Crits (90 damage) and the Detonator minicrits (45-ish I think?) when it connects with a target that is already ignited.

Getting back into the swing of playing TF2 regularly again is fun.

tfw you know you're gonna lose and you just gotta hold dat L and attempt to have fun anyway for the next 10 minutes

I had to google what this "L" was. I thought you were visually representing the corner of hallway or something and was confused.
TFW Red has 3 engineer nests around the last point and your only medic is using Vaccinator and won't change their load out.

Times like that make me miss the days when Baroni, Crimson and I would just team up and own.

Sometimes when you want something done, you have to do it yourself.
I can't believe no one posted that End of the Line came out today

Neon weapons, what is this, CS:GO?

It never ceases to amaze me the draw the sniper and spy classes have. Doesn't matter if on offense or defense, people just love to be dead weight. And by the end of the round, these people are almost always at bottom of the scores except for one, maybe.

The issue is having too many players playing a certain class, not the utility of the classes within TF2. A sniper/spy working with their team can wreck a lot of havoc.

I meant as in 3+ spies and 3+ snipers per team. I must have accidentally edited that out trying not to sound too bitter. That rant was originally a lot longer...

I think younger/inexperienced players just get allured by the concept of one hit kills, but why does it always feel like the poorly playing group of sniper spies is on your team meanwhile the other has an octo-heavy and minis everywhere.
