gaming Should I play TF2?

[DustJacket 213]

Hello, there, forums and bronies of the herd.

 

I've been reading the Staff vs Members TF2 Night and it. Is. Tempting. I've been running out of games lately and I really need to find something to help me blow of some steam, and speaking of which or.. 'steam', I was planning to jump in to this... Team Fortress 2. 

 

I'm new to TF2, so a bit of a noob, mainly though, should I play it? 

 

p.s. I'm a noob on PvP stuff, tend to hang back inside the spawning area or base or near the flag -- camper dude.

so yeah, you should definitely go play some TF2

Alright. If you're new, I personally suggest that you start off with Soldier or Medic. Learn the basics of the game in training, and then jump right in!

 

If you need help/want to be tutored, add me on Steam (Magos Amphrose) and I'll find the time to help.

 

Or I'm going to be trolling (figuratively) around the server for a while. Meet me there.

Soldier or Medic... uh, sticking in the back, which class suits that the most, oh... and being sneaky both far away and close.

And does playing Far Cry 3 on Survivor difficulty and being stealthy counts as some sort of a practice?

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

Give it a try. It never hurts to try something new. I'm not that great at the game, but I had a blast last night on the TF2 server with all of the other bronies. I hope you like the game.

[Trixies Apprentice L 493]

Well if you like being sneaky you can play as spy > 

 

But generally just go for it. It is free anyway. Even if you hate the game you lose nothing but a few hours of your life xD

Son, TF2 is a new experience for everyone. But... err... yeah, I guess it does.

 

So, when you get Steam and TF2 onto your computer, join this server- play.poniarcade.com:27100 - and let me know. And then I will help you more than that schtoopid practice mode (which you may want to check out afterwards)

Soldier is a great starter and medic can be good to, you can also try pyro, they do require a bit of skill but at the same time they are incredibly fun to play. Avoid the spy or demoman for now since they have an incredibly high learning curve. Sniper and engineer are good once you learn the layouts of the map and the general way players tend to move so you can take advantage of it, the rest are good to so once you get comfortable just give each one a try. I'd also say stick with smaller games since the larger ones can get incredibly hecktick at times, unless you enjoy that. 

 

And remember, everyone is a spy.

Yeah, I sure hope so, never been really good to PvP games

I won't lose my mind, right? 

[V1RUS_ 85]

TF2 is easily one of my favourite games.

You should start out by playing Medic, Soldier, or Pyro. They're all relatively easy classes to play and get kills with.

But PLEASE don't skip the training. There's a lot going on in TF2, unlike your average shorter, so its important that you learn the basics! 

Happy shooting! (or whatever)

High learning curve, got it. Well, I am a slow learner but I can be fast at getting used to stuff, or at least that's what my teachers said.

 

And hecktick, what do you mean by hecktick?

 

Spy, sneaky dudes, I hate sneaky dudes. I tend to be driven to a rage mode if someone kills me from behind multiple times.

Who know's you just might lose your mind too.

Oh and do not forget the hats. There simple isn't a better hat simulator out there. It has that fun mini game with guns and stuff  in order to get them too. All kinds of fun

@, Well... there are spies... and there are spies... and more spies... 

[DustJacket 213]

What's the difference with Brink? I've played Brink on LAN with my friends, and I do get used to that... so, yeah, what's the difference, besides the graphics, just lay out the basics, if somepony would... 

@, Well... there are spies... and there are spies... and more spies... 

Let me guess... WoW Rogue equivalent? 

[repsol rave 2,963]

 

 

WoW Rogue equivalent? 

how do you even compare WoW with TF2?

two completely different games right there XD

I mean, the way they drive you mad with the sneaking and stuff...

[repsol rave 2,963]

@,

well, i've never had any spy drive me mad in TF2. the game is just balanced out so well that it doesn't really matter, because everybody has the same chance at winning.

seriously tough, you gotta play the game to really find out what kind of game it is! 

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

It is a great pc game really is I just do not play it all to often. I used to play it a lot a while back but it is a great FPS game.

[DustJacket 213]

Okay... and I need to be a team player don't I, and all these years I've only been nothing but a lone wolf, gonna need some time to get use to the whole team player thing.

[repsol rave 2,963]

@,

that's the thing, i know it's called team fortress 2, but if you want, you can be a lone wolf. hell, i never play with my team, i always go lone wolf to rank up the kills

It's different than most other games, but once you get used to it, its a lot of fun.

Also, this is what the fan base is pretty much like.^^

[Irish Mist 119]

And hecktick, what do you mean by hecktick?

AHhhh, THERE'S ROCKETS EVERYWHERE, WHY AM I CONSTANTLY EXPLODING, WHAT IS GOING ON, WHO'S TEAM IS THIS?!?!? AH AHHHH AHHHHHHH *you are dead* 

Hecktick :3 

[Oofer56 58]

You should totally play TF2! I highly recommend it xD

[Snake Eater 4]

There are many reasons to play it.

 

It's got interesting visuals, it never gets boring, every class has its own defining playstyle and it's free. And last but not least, you can put ponies in it! What's not to like?

[Nerdy Luigi 2,065]

Simply, yes.

The game is amazing, it never gets old (unless you play it a whole day straight), and... It's FABULOUS.
