Is there anywhere I can download low-res versions of the primary maps or something?

Look around on Facepunch, theres also some retro skin packs which will really make your game run fast.

Well I haven't seen anything about skin packs just yet but I keep seeing stuff about Chris' FPS Configs. Trying to figure it out as it doesn't seem exactly clear how to implement it but I think I just found a video that should describe how to use it so heres hoping.

Virtually anyone playing spy isn't contributing as effectively to the team as they could be if they were playing another class, whether they're new or not.

I'd have to say I disagree with that. There are many times when playing as a spy can be vastly more effective at breaking a deadlock. It is true however that you do need to be able to recognise when being a spy is not going to work and actually change class, although the same is true of pretty much all the classes.

Key phrase: A spy. There is only ever use for 2 spies, one on each team. Spies are the one class where you have to know what you're doing to not be a hindrance to your team. Every other class can deal damage by pointing at the general direction of the target and clicking. Do that as a spy, and you're mown down in a few seconds. There is never, ever a reason for spy to be capped out, and more often than not, it should be empty. Spy has situational usefulness, and only someone who knows what he's doing can actually take advantage of that.

But for someone to actually become useful as a spy it requires practice, same for really any other class including Pyro (Go ahead and rage to what I just said, but the only reason would be the fact that you die to them a lot.) I've clocked 90 hours on spy so far and learned how to use all sorts of tactics and I can usually get in the top 3 players of the round as Spy. Now 2Fort...for some reason I can't play that as a Spy.

There are numerous ways to practice as a spy without fucking your team over.

So yeah, i've found that some servers are kicking players who aren't wearing the proof of purchase hat.

Then booting me because I was all "its only on my pyro and i'm not switching to prove your insecurity's, stfu". Its funny because I was doing better than all the proof of purchase noobs.

my pack, for any interested parties

Same thing happened when the halo's came out, then the earbuds, don't worry that fad will go away in a few weeks.

Success! I'm playing with next to no lag though the environment is now rainbows. Oh well at least I can play now.

Anyone had problems on 2fort with aimbotting snipers? Last game I was in, I would run out the back entrance, as scout, get to the ledge, jump, and before I had finished the first jump, I was headshotted. Went out again, bottom layer. Got out the door and bam, dead.

Oh I see your problem, your playing on 2fort.

I have a choice. 2fort (with aimbots) or non 2fort, in which case I die to snipers in melee. Because of the 300-400 ping.

Have you tried looking for a less distant server?

ALL the less distant servers run 2fort. I have, on my favourites, all the ones with less than 100 ping. They ALL have 2fort running ATM.

I don't know where you are, but for me:



Edit: UberM0nk3y's Jungle? I don't even remember that one.

[Dermonster]

I use the Halolz server most of the time.

It's the only one I know that allows Micspam and yes I like it.

[Duke 2.0]

 Penny Arcade and Fugworld servers are pretty nice as well. Everything seems to be full ever since the update though.

[PTTG??]

...except the B12 server...

Try looking for all the ones in Australia.

Reddit has an australian tf2 section, have you checked there?

Latest one that mentions a server says it's down.
