My top four classes are Sniper, Spy, Scout, and Pyro, in order. I find them to be the most fun and try to improve my skills with them the most. Spy is especially fun in Mann versus Machine, where you can just lay waste to a robot charge with the right upgrades.

 

Outside of those four, I can't really rank the other classes, because I just don't bother with them. The only one I arguably spend any time on is the Engineer, but I generally get bored playing an Engi. Another arguable is the soldier, once I get the rocket jumper - I've seen quite a few Goomba Stomp videos, and it seems to be the most interesting and rewarding thing about the Soldier.

[AngelofDeath 259]

I totally suck with the soldier and demoman when it comes to sticky/rocket jumping. I know i'm doin' them wrong but I just can't seem to get it down right. So that's the only downside I have to those 2 classes. I like the medic and engi, but they can get dull if the battle favors fast movers or heavy hitters. Spy...well hell i'm probably the most obvious spy anybody will ever see. I can never get lucky enough to do any good with him XD.

I could assist you with that if you want. I mean, Soldier's nowhere near as enjoyable without rocket jumping, same for demo and sticky jumping. Soldier becomes addicting with the mobility when you learn how to rocket jump.

I really only play MvM anymore...just because I love the teamwork aspect of it.

 

I decided to play as scout yesterday, running around grabbing all dat cash. Five of the six rounds ended with us getting the $100 bonus. One guy kept complimenting me, saying how he never has gotten so many bonuses. Felt good, man.

 

Also, a quick question: is moving your sentry before the Sentry Buster detonates really that hard? In all my time of playing MvM I've seen maybe, MAYBE one other engineer who can do it. All the others just run away or sit there hitting the Buster with their wrench.

[Durandal 623]

It's not really that hard, you can wait until it starts its countdown and run for it, but normally a Sentry Buster isn't alone - it's that if you do pack it up, you run the risk of any of the other bots targeting you. At that point it's a game of luck - if you can escape fast enough you're good, however if a bot is able to gun you down, you might as well have left your sentry there and ran.

Huh. I've never really had that problem. Usually the other people on my team are good cannon fodder distractions for the other bots.

[Jozzeh 125]

It's like Durandal says; it depends really just on the situation if the engineer's a bit unlucky.

 

Rescue ranger comes really in handy in MvM for that reason. x)

In other news, I finally got this that I wanted!

 

 

I don't plan to get the platinum badge because the very reason I wanted this gold badge is to match my sweetpea who has the Grizzled Veteran. x3

This is a TF2 thread, yet I am noticing a lack of hat discussions!

 

We need more hats.. Hats are good.

 

 

Weapons? Who needs weapons? Hats are the key element of this game.

 

 

 

 

[Jozzeh 125]

That pocket pyro is just adorable. <3

 

I don't mind this update, really brought some swanky new stuff for us to play around with.

Even that promotional hat from Gunpoint looks swell.

[Floris 287]

I don't mind this update

 

 

Neither do I and bloody hell.. I definitely need that medic hat (The powdered practitioner) for my (genuine) foppish physician.

 

 

That new demo misc. also looks awesome.. Making the term demoknight even more appropriate with that baddy equipped.

I say we need more hats for film/ game references. Seeing your avatar Floris has made me realise TF2 is missing a very important hat... GANDALF's! I would pay to get one of those!

[Floris 287]

My dear fellow, we already have a great wizard hat!

 

Just look at this finely put together piece of cloth with a leather belt attached to it!

Now how come nopony has ever informed me of this?   To Mann Co! *sprints to Mann Co. to buy hat*

 

I still say they need to get more film and game hats though!

D: The wiki page shows the Pyro doing the hadouken taunt while wearing it. That's kinda silly because one of the jokes in the Trine games is that Amadeus can't cast fireball.

 

The update tab says "new promo items added". Wanna place bets* on what game's gonna have ugly artstyle-breaking cosmetic items put in TF2 next? My guess is whatever big overhyped "AAA" title that's in the "coming soon" tab in the Steam store at the moment. A lazy guess, but probably true.

 

*Not a literal bet.

[Floris 287]

Seen that Biowaste medic set in the workshop? That looks bloody fantastic.

 

 

I wouldn't be surprised if they added that.. eventually.

[Jozzeh 125]

I haven't seen it just yet, Floris.

Gimmie a moment.

Ooh, looks neat! Would be cool to see it perhaps gain it's own status and not just a reskin. ^^

Anybody want a strange Homewrecker/Fire Axe/Detonator/Pain Train/Rocket Launcher? I have a bunch of spares and things I won't use (Strange Back Scratcher is God).

[Flash Bolt 11]

I usually play Scout, as I like to take out my enemies by surprise, and I can do some really funny stuff with the Force-a-Nature, the Flying Guillotine, and the Sandman. I'm pretty good with all those weapons, and it's still fun to play

A strange detonator sounds fairly interesting, as I use it sometimes! Neat with that little PEW.

A strange backscratcher? Would be hilarious if it said "Backs scratched: x". XD

Haha I love playing scout. I've started calling him the flying shotgun. By far I much prefer the Flying Guillotine over the sandman just because it recharges faster. I can't hit anything worth a damn usually so that's were my Guillotine comes in play XD.

[Limey 524]

Me and another heavy were messing around on a pub server, sharing sandviches. Whenever any enemies came past, we refused to shoot them, instead offering them our sandviches as a peace offering. It took a long time, a lot of patience, and quite a few deaths, but eventually we managed to start a picnic in the 2fort sewers, with both teams co-existing! It was brilliant! I think we managed to get over half the server down there just messing and having a lovely non-violent time around at one point.

 

 

 

 

 

Love and tolerate really does work!

(There may have been a few troublemakers though...but as you can see, we dealt with them.)

I love the way you 'dealt' with them. XD

 

Being a friendly is fun because, a break is neccesary from all that violence.

Sandvich makes us frieeends!

I don't have a Strange Homewrecker (though, fair warning, I probably won't use it all that much) so that would be nice. I've already got everything else except a Lollichop instead of a Fire Axe.

[Senor Citizen 516]

@@Kamil, we have a collector? I'll give it to you for a strange Caber, or any offer I approve. My Steam is (Brony) Bullet Magnet, and I'll be on for a little while.

[AngelofDeath 259]

Well after alot of work (only like 3-4 days), I finally have my goal of 1500 kills on my strange scattergun. Now I have to level up my kills on my flying guillotine and baby face blaster. In the end, I want Jozzeh to be my 1500th kill  . I'm comin' for ya Jozzeh.
