Team Fortress 2 - Heavy Update, New Maps, New Mode are all live now!

[Irennicus]

Ok, so polycount pack came out today, most of them are just meh

But what interested me was the CEVO amateur league. I believe its free to play in this division, whereas the other divisions are $20 a player.

So what I was thinking is that we should put together a TF2 team to represent SRK. We only play 1 game a week, we could go in for fun and just play or take it more serious and actually start working on strategies and pickup 6v6 games and whatnot.

I’m totally down to play, either as a Soldier or Scout

We’d just need to be able to fill out the classic comp roster
1 Medic
1 Demo
2 Soldiers
2 Scouts

With the scouts able to switch depending on the circumstance (Sniper/Heavy are popular for certain maps)

Anybody else interested?

I’ll play as any class but Demo.

Natascha also cancels rocket/sticky jumps and slows you in the air. Which is too much. It effectively cancels both attacks and retreats of pretty much everyone. They only really have to worry about snipers and spies, or lots of people hitting at once. It’s the only gun I bitch about.

Also, you guys have a team together yet? I have a solid 6 on my end now.

Sadly, we didn’t seem to generate enough interest in forming an SRK team. Not a big surprise since we can’t even field people for our sunday games anymore : (

[bear]

Bummer. But if you need folks to fill up a game, post the time and I could get 5 - 10 players in, depending on the time.

well I just so happen to play this game a lot. im pretty sure the people who agreed to be on the team are still down as well. maybe more SRK group event notices will generate more interest and help people remember.

Totally disagree. There are a bunch of loadouts that are basically impossible to work with against a heavy. Natascha Heavy probably has a 7:3 matchup or greater at all ranges against Pyro, Medic, non-Wrangler Engineer, Targe Demo and FaN Scout. He’s got an 8:2 matchup or better against every class in mid-to-short range.

Iunno if you folks have been keeping up with the updates they’ve been making, but they buffed Heavies up by cutting the draw speed on his mini-gun, which made it so attacking a Heavy when he’s at full health is impossible to survive.

yeah if you dont have the tools dealing with a heavy is a bitch, but with all regular loadouts a heavy actually has to work pretty hard to dominate, this is granted everyone has decent knowledge and aim.

If there’s interest in doing a SRK team, I can play any class (except Sniper).

Edited for how I misspelled “gentlemen” (I spelled it “gentelmen”).

[BIGWORM]

I can play Sniper and Scout, but I generally suck at the other classes. Maybe Heavy, too, but that’d be it.

[BIG_BAD_MOG]

I’m most comfortable with the soldier and sometimes the scout. Thing is I haven’t gotten to the point where I can just log on after a hiatus and still destroy stuff.

[Geese_Pants]

I’m a mean medic…

[bluerei]

I can play any class. I’m that good.

I’m probably gonna be entering this. Already have a group of 9 though. But if it falls through and there’s an SRK team, I main soldier.

[BIG_BAD_MOG]

If we do a highlander I play a decent pyro.

[spudlyff8fan]

If we do a highlander I play a decent pyro.

I play a good pyro, a decent Demo (both Sword/Axe and board and sticky), a passable scout, a strong medic, a solid engy, a decent spy, a decent soldier, and a solid heavy (as if there’s any other kind).

Though does anybody want to officially start pulling together an official SRK group?

[MaDWaK]

I play a decent soldier ( know RJs on CP maps, can roam well) and a good scout (calls shit out, gets kills)

get at me.

[Samurai_Lincoln]

I’m down for some TF2 anytime. Schedule has been a bit sporadic lately though.

Valve games seem to have a habit of giving me motion sickness. That really blows. I like this game.

I’m all up for it. I play Heavy, Scout, and Sniper.

What’s wrong with the direct hit? I mean, even if it’s a non-arena match, if you can hit with it why not use it over the normal RL? Only class that seems to outmaneuver it are scouts, but most of the time I find myself whipping out a shotty to get them.

[SuicidalGrandpa]

I’m ass at soldier, so I have to settle for splash damage 99% of the time. Then again, I mostly bowsnipe when playing now.

I don’t like DH as much. It’s easier to get airshots with, but it’s not nearly as good on the ground and it’s harder to protect your medic with. The RL is just more well-rounded, and you can get the airshots with the RL just fine. Just takes more practice.

The only thing I use in my soldier loadout that isn’t stock is the Equalizer. I play stock demo and scout.
