Team Fortress 32

[Aya Reiko]

The C&D is good for traversing long distances entirely cloaked and camping out areas, waiting for a good time to strike or relaying information about the other team's setup (usually just counting sentries). The DR is for more aggressive spies who like to use the element of surprise to catch the other team off-guard, especially after they see that first rag-doll drop.

That is, until Pyros start coming after you.  Then the DR becomes worthless as you'll still be burning and visible after "death".

Mmh, that depends. If you activate it while they are spraying their flame unto you, yes, obviously.
However, if you manage to get out of his spray, or even better out of his range, you can activate it from the afterburn, and you will cease to burn.

Sure makes it more difficult though, no question there.

Now do this with the rocket jumper, and I will be a happy mantreads.

[Esifex]

Bananamatic managed to send a Familiar Fez my way! Hooray!

Unfortunately I can't open any class loadouts without the game crashing, and everyone is defaulting to their stock loadouts, so I can't try it out for a while, until this gets straightened out.

[Wisp]

Got a C&D, pretty fun, but now I want to try the DR, and it'll probably take me forever to get 17 Spy achievements.

Or you'll have to find it, purchase it, or gamble with crafting (though this is unlikely).

[Esifex]

Well, there aren't many Spy watches. It's a 50/50 chance if you can get the secondary slot token put together.

I can trade you one of mine if you got something special :V

[Iryan]

I found a Baker Boy.

...  :V

Got nothing, just 2 reclaimed :colonveeplusalpha:

Hmm...maybe I got something that I can craft with that, I can be generous, but I doubt it. I like most of the weapons that I have :V

[Fetch()tirade]

I don't know why I don't use the Huntsman more often. I played it for a couple of payload games, and I went on a total rampage, picking off just about every Heavy I saw. Some games I made it through the entire round without dying. It was totally awesome, and it' making me second=guess possibly using it to make a Sydney Sleeper.

[Gpop]

Yeah, the Huntsman has a huge hitbox for the arrow lol, making it easier to use for midrange especially, since it was designed for that.

[Esifex]

Hurhur, Huntsman

[Esifex]

Well, thanks to the new patch (that unfortunately for you demoknight players, removed the ability to air-charge, from what Bananamatic tells me) my item loadouts no longer crash my game. Also thanks to Bananamatic, I now have the Familiar Fez to go with my YER and L'estranger. Time to flail about until I learn to be ballsy with my gear as a spy!

Hooray for latter, and as for the former it was re-added in another patch.

I rarely air-charged as Demoknight, though.

>Leave server along with 3 others

Also got a Dead Ringer (sapped sentry, backstabbed engineer, somehow get 5 achievements) and a Conniver's Kunai renamed "Your Back's Best Friend" (trade). Gotta get used to it.

[InfernalExuro]

My trading pays off once again. After a bit of deal-brokering, my Pyro now has a radioactive head-plunger.  :V

Also, I have no idea why I never used the Direct Hit before, but holy hell. My aim with rockets has improved considerably over the past year since last trying to use it, apparently, because I'm able to actually score direct shots on people from most ranges. There's few things more satisfying than one-shotting an airborne Scout.

I remember many guys going over this one girl player who was talking on the mic and all.

She was a pretty decent medic to say the least though.

Also, I've found that a lot of the times, I tend to be great with one class one day, and good with others on other days.

For example, yesterday I've been getting 4 dominations ON AVERAGE as demoman. Holy hell I was loving him.

Impressive! Now try your shots against ShadyK (another newcomer who specialises in Demoman)!

EDIT: Can anyone else (particularly in US and Canada) get access to your loadouts ATM? DDR, Shady, and I cannot regardless of server, almost everyone else on them also have defaults (or Unusual versions of them), and the Mann Co. Store is down as well....

[Fetch()tirade]

Nope.

Actually, I don't think I can even play. Says my account's not connected.

[theshirn]

Looks to be pretty global for now.  Give it a little while.

[DX7.EP]

Loadout issue seems to be fixed for this area at least.

[InfernalExuro]

I think they fixed it for pretty much everybody now.

[Gpop]

You know, I was watching this video and it got me thinking about being an engineer during the set up phases to help out other engineers build before going back to another class to defend or attack. It would really help them for sure without ever worrying about your own buildings and even strengthening attacks and defense.

Man I should've thought of that lol

I've always done it with level 1 teleporters, so long as they had an exit built, but never thought about doing it with the other buildings during setup. Then again, I never really see any engies building everything during setup. It's usually just that one sentry that gets destroyed right away.

[Barrakketh]

I have binds so I can switch to engy and back to my previous class with one key.  Every millisecond saved can get a sapper off a tele before it's destroyed.

That is a very underappreciated startegy. Admittedly I rarely do that myself.

Also seems one of my RL friends was on said vid, but that's not the point. :V

Yeah, I used to do this once in awhile,, but nowadays too many engies focus on getting a lvl 3 sentry up and maybe a lvl 1 dispenser if they even remember they can build those. And those poor, lonely teleporter entrances, sitting at the spawn point until they get destroyed at the end of the round without ever being completed.

[Esifex]

I was kicking ass and taking names on Badwater, wrecking some faces as a Pyro, chasing Scouts all over the place and bouncing them off walls with the airblast, reflecting about twice as many rockets as I normally do, having a fuckin' awesome time

Then Skype decides 'Hey I wanna behave like a pop-up ad!' and hijacks the screen. Because my computer is a fossil and is very temperamental, this caused TF2 to Stop Responding, and I had to End Task to close it while my soundcard played the last half-second of sound on an obnoxious loop.

Fucking computer. At least I got a Persian Persuader before it crashed.
