TF2 (split from screenshots thread)

1.5 minutes of moving around the map, 2.5 minutes of bloopers, 6 minutes of frags.

And anyone can look good in a youtube video by demoing everything you do and finding the best 10 minutes.

So? i'm not debating whether hes good or not (although he clearly is). what im saying is that his method of play clearly yields results against the best players.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

You're playing against extremely crappy pyros, then.

I did play a couple games with Cardgame a while back, what's your point?

It's a public server frag video. Any half-decent Soldier would blow you to bits. Pyros and silly gimmicks like airblast rocket jumping have no place in real matches

If you're talking about the Proro vid, those are frag vids from competitive matches. A half-decent soldier can only really use his shotgun reliably against a great pyro. Obviously great pyros are rare.

Then why are there Spies and Engies and Snipers running around

edit: Ok so it's not exactly a 32 player public match but still. Also the rocket launcher has faster rate of fire than airblast. I don't see how you could possibly rely on it

 

[Fetus4188]

Support classes do see some (not a lot) of play in competitive matches. The reason the opponents look bad in frag videos is because it's a frag video--a compilation of moments of the player making others look weak in comparison. Also, soldiers don't typically shoot at their maximum fire rate. Competitive pyro (and everything outside the standard lineup) is a high-risk-reward option.

And of course everyone knows that somehow only competitive pro matches are the only way to play the game with the only players who can use any of the weapons and \extreme sarcasm maximum killing efficiency without dying is the only way to play the game. /extreme sarcasm

 

[azzaman333]

If you don't want to suffer my wrath/rage, then yes.

 

[Maniacal]

Then you are just sad.

 

[azzaman333]

No, I'm not sad, I'm angry.

Two different emotions.

 

[Maniacal]

Different meaning of sad, more similar to a word like pathetic than sadness.

 

[azzaman333]

Is it really pathetic to want to win?

It's no fun dying all the time because your team thinks they're good but keep dying because they can't hit with the axetinguisher without dying/letting me die/letting the other team cap the point.

 

[Maniacal]

Because that is all I do when playing on public servers, die because I apparently have to rely 100% on team-mates to save my ass. (Then how does it work vice versa?).

 

[azzaman333]

I can hold my own perfectly fine, but to win you have to have the team to back you up. Eg, playing goldrush, if I kill off 50% of the other team and camp their spawn, unless the rest of the my team puts pressure on the cart any work I do is futile. And that really ****s me.,

 

[salty mud]

Onto my third hat, a Texas Slim's Dome Shine. Slightly disappointing, as anyone can 'get' this hat through the gltich, but cool none-the-less.

 

[Maniacal]

What glitch?

 

[salty mud]

Go Demo, stay at the spawn and do your grenade launcher taunt. Mid way through, switch to Engineer and he will have no hat. The scout will also lose his hat with this glitch.
