I was able to play an offline game of KOTH without lagging.  :D
It looks life defragging worked.

4. There's no need to stay at your base wrenching away, especially if you're not being attacked and ESPECIALLY if there are no enemy spies. Please feel free to run around shooting lesser men with your other guns.

 All the fanservice is kinda why I dislike that comic. On it's own female versions of popular characters is alright, whatever. Some cute stuff, some nice stuff, some interesting stuff. But the fanservice. My god the fanservice.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

I feel like playing a different class, since I always seem to play Pyro or Medic. I was thinking about Engineer or Sniper. Any tips for either? I've played a little engineer, and next to no Sniper before.

I find when I play sniper that the most usefull thing you can do is kill other snipers. That and heavies. Try to avoid hanging around areas where your teammates are funneling through. Any chokepoints or anything like that.

And move around. Don't just plant yourself somewhere and scope up.

Least thats how I play it. :P

Playing Nucleus with bots as Sniper actually seemed to make me a lot better at headshots and general accuracy. Try playing it on medium difficulty on training mode. It should be a great place to start, as normal games tend to have at least one decent sniper that keeps killing all the ones that are just starting out. Though the bots tend to lull one into a false sense of security, it's better that than getting killed all the time without getting much shots out.

If you think learning by example might work for you, try watching a video or two about playing the classes. Here's one about Engi. It's quite old, but it's as much entertaining as it is informative. I haven't found any good "How to play Sniper"-videos, but here's just a commentated gameplay clip by a good player. If you enjoy Let's Plays, many of his videos deserve a look too, despite the slightly nervous commentary. There's even some using the new engi things and the Heavy one completely changed the way I play that class.

A sniper who kills snipers is an useless sniper.

Other snipers are only your first threat if they actually have line of sight to you. Otherwise what you want to do is cover a single exit and not let anyone pass. Once people learn they cannot pass there, cover the next exit, rince, repeat, be feared.

I love snipers who kill snipers. I never play them, and hate getting killed by them.

I love snipers who always stay zoomed in. Don't worry, nothing will attack you from behind, that razorback will protect you!

Haha, I play sniper (I'm not that great, but then I'm not that great at any class).

I always make sure to zoom out and flail about once in a while. I don't use the razorback because I can't hear the sound it makes when you're backstabbed. (It seems most people can't.)

I make a point of never backstabbing snipers. I instead headshot them. Ah, irony.

Change the sound then.

I always find that turning on subtitles in HL2 makes the game a lot easier since the subtitles can hear exactly what the combine are saying from any range.

WHY DID YOU HAVE ME KICK THEM WTF I DID NOT WANT TO BE SHOT AT.
I dunno, you guys have survived Thomas the tank engine, golems, zombies, nuclear explosions, laser whales, and being on the same team as ragnarock.  I don't think something as tame as a world ending rain of lava will even slow you guys down.

In other news. I forget I'm reading halfway back through the thread, and hit reply on things without thinking.
