Ah, rounds like that one.  Where you're an Engineer with a level 3 sentry and it gets all of two kills because your team totally shuts them other side down.

Fun, but very few points. :V

I think I've determined that the Scout is too damn fast for me to ever play decently. *sobs*

On another note I seem to keep pumping my mouse sensitivity higher over time. I'm up to 3.0 for now.

I forgot how great Medic can be.  Played a bit on SourceOP's pro rotation server and managed to coordinate the losing team enough for them to come back and score three consecutive curbstompings in a row.

Also Vita-Saw is awesome, no matter what anyone says.  I'm going to edit the game files directly so the Powerjack is a Vita-Saw too.

I really need to get into the habit of using the melee weapons. Whenever I'm on my Pyro, I'll swap over to the Axtinguisher from the Degreaser so I can quickswap to it, but I never actually use it :x

Okay, that's a fair exception.

Most melee weapons rank as the second weakest weapons in the game if you aren't playing with random crits.  Even if I play Pyro I almost always use the shotgun instead of the axtinguisher, because the shotgun has more range in addition to being faster.  That's probably part of why I like the polycount set more than most people.

Yeah, the Shotgun is somethin I gotta get back into habit of usin, too.

Though to be fair to the flaregun, I did make some excellent use of it the other day against a Heavy who was keeping his gun spinning up to try to pick me off at range while I was carrying the Intel. The mini-crits it gives at-range to burning targets are damn handy; I forced his HP down fast enough that he switched to his Sandvich, and I rushed up and ignite/Axtinguished him to death while he was eating. Proceeded to die to a Shortstop Scout just around the corner, though.

Well they are both equally as dangerous if Final Fantasy 10 is anything to go by.

Demoman should explode in a huge (damaging) ball of flame when killed by a rocket or other explosives.

YER spies should be able to taunt with whatever weapon the person they bodysnatched had.

I mainly want this so I can backstab a soldier with using the Equalizer and then suicide bomb people.  Or taunt-kill snipers.
Cheating? I cannot even wrap my head around the point of it. Wouldn't you know you had cheated? How on Earth could you maintain crisp certainty of your superiority to all others? And if you're unable to do that, what's the point of anything?

Would literally go out of my way to backstab Heavies and pow-kill everyone all day. :(

Ah, but they would have to be using their fists at the time because you can't switch disguise weapons with YER.  Most heavies use the KGB or GRU.

The main thing that drives me nuts is that I can't taunt someone without losing a hard-earned disguise, so some form of taunting would be nice.  Being able to kill people with the taunts would just be a nice bonus in the rare event that you managed to backstab someone with the appropriate weapon (most likely to happen with Huntsman snipers and gunslinger engineers since the former usually has their primary out and the latter can have The Gunslinger and Frontier Justice equipped which both have taunts that can kill).

That would be awesome, and I endorse this idea just because of it.

I totally suck at killing people with taunts though.

Most of the time when I kill someone with a taunt it is either an oblivious sniper (it is easy to smash their head in with a guitar) or a heavy who decides that he can easily eat a sandvich and kill the pyro who ignited him but ends up eating a hadouken instead.

Most of my taunt kills come from snipers and people trying to melee me. Trouble is crits can happen in that instance.

That one time when I hadoukened a medic using the bonesaw and the guy goes over the mic, "wtf was that.
I got hit with some kind of fireball thing."
Classic.

2fort's great for taunt kills.  Go engie, sentry jump onto the battlements, jump on a sniper's head, use FJ taunt, prepare for awesome.

I loved the flare gun until I realized it had 14 DPS compared to the shotgun's 150 :V

It's just fun to snipe people unexpectedly or catch snipers unaware and make them panic. Also, the rare instances when you land a burning crit is even more awesome.

I wonder if that means you'll damage yourself while rocket jumping at a much smaller rate or if that's a -X max health thing. Lawld.

Also Sticky Jumper what, I'm imagining Eyelander demos using this with hilarious results.
