agreed
but lots of fun on tonight’s game
i’ll hop onto the server later if its in use again
I appreciate the words of wisdom. Sniper just feels more natural to me than any other class. I like staying as far away from my enemies as possible. Are there any other classes that work at long range? I feel like I was doing okay with the Heavy…
I concur.
Good shit to everyone who played with me tonight. Sorry if I pissed you off with my voice. By the way, I just looked it up. I’m not an alto. I’m a soprano. I knew it.
I take back what I said about the Direct Hit.
It’s godlike in the right hands. Ammomod has given me the power.
Oh yes, I’m totally in love with the Direct Hit now. It takes a bit more effort, but in the right hands its so fast and so deadly, OHKO Scouts, the works.
Good games, guys.
I had some Scout ownage going on early there. Also, I will hunt Jammar down every time I see his ass now.
main TF2 site says that items for achievements will be awarded
also they’re talking about the beta bots
Are there any maps that can give you the demoman/soldier achievements really quick? I honestly don’t feel like playing a dozen games trying to unlock the milestones.
I got a lot of them on tr_walkway (I had the equalizer and direct hit in like ten minutes tops)
12/22 update…
If you’re missing your gunboats still, and want to craft them, use the new recipe for Convert class Token.
Basically, take a different class token (like sniper/pyro, everyone has tons of those items lying around) and a single weapon from soldier that you have doubles of, and craft it. You’ll end up with the Soldiers class token.
Then craft a secondary token, combine it with the soldiers token, and you have a 50% chance of getting the gunboat (and a 50% chance of getting the buff banner)
still no way to make engineer tokens sadly
Wait…what? I didn’t understand any of that…
The gunboats are not something I’m really going to jump through hoops for either way. I’d like to have them just to fuck around with, but you seriously can’t get me to switch from my shotgun when I’m still using a 4-rocket launcher with a .8 sec initial and .92 sec additional reload time.
The ONLY play style it promotes is once you’re down to 1 rocket left you have the additional option of rocket jumping to safety fairly easily. You can be at 30 hp and still get the fuck out of dodge by shooting your feet. That’s not enough for me, to be honest.
Well, I guess that and those people who really just want to take every moment they can to use rocket jumping.
haha, does this still work? After yesterdays patch, instant sticky detonate at your feet, for air sticky jumping?

Gunboats shouldn’t be a secondary slot item
they should have been melee slot(for demo or soldier)
and I really wish demo got them. They’re a waste on soldier at the moment
Also, a new “feature” I noticed the other day was that people can shoot your stickies out of mid air, before they’re armed. Makes fighting heavies impossible with stickies, because if I shoot stickies at them their cone just destroys my grenades. Luckily they still die easily to direct shots from a grenade.
Someone on the Steam forums suggested they offer both the Shovel and Gunboats as a combo melee item, or the Equalizer.
Both offer improved mobility, and each gives an attack bonus of a different type.
I thought it was a good idea, considering the shovel has no incentive to be used as of right now.
when are you guys all playing again? I finally got my PC working so I can play now.
Are there any servers that are new people friendly? I’m probably going to pick this game up but from what I’ve seen on youtube it seems pretty hectic for starters.
Don’t worry, it’s not like SRK.
Well, with [media=youtube]1oSOp1IA6Wo[/media] and all the random youtube comments it sure sounds like it
