Hmm, could we divide this into a "TF2 trade"-thread, and a thread for people who actually play the game?
Actually, there already exists a thread like that, but I didn't want to be a curmudgeonly OP and point at the first post and demand people start trading in the trading thread. There is a benefit of seeing only trade things in that thread and not having them be pushed out of the latest page by game discussion and as a result, more trading might actually ensue.

Actually, I'm going to go practice some necromancy right now. Using the trade thread makes sense, to split up the sudden influx of trade and non-trade discussion going on.

I've never been good with melee weapons, because do you know how hard it is to stay pointed at a enemy while your running and jumping about like a spastic?

Pretty damn hard.

(I run about like a spastic in every class, outside of the Heavy, but who the fuck get in punching range of a heavy, and why wouldn't I just shred them with minigun bullets?)

 The Basher works out because of the bleed damage. You only need to smack them once or twice when they are not looking and retreat. My old strategy would be to run off around a corner and drink some Crit Cola to slightly increase the damage dealt at no threat to me. It'll never be as effective as just shooting them with a scattergun, but it's just a fun thing to do and to display your skill.

 Much like the new sniper rifle. There really isn't any upside or downside, it's just a fun little minigame to play with yourself.

We already got the fish for that. Totally useless humiliation.

Finally tried the short-stop today. I think I'll keep it. Now to dump the handgun because it's kinda superfluous.

Also I hate playing the heavy. Mowing down entire armies of noob like I'm some kind of god just feels like I'm cheating, or something. I'm going to QUIT. Spy is a lot more fun nowadays, though, I suck at spy but the new people often suck more.

None of the new item sets have any effect. I really don't know why they register as item sets in the first place - either Valve planned for them to have set bonuses and changed their minds at the last moment, or they'll be adding set bonuses at some point in the future. Or, heck, maybe they just included an 'item set' to give players a guaranteed way to craft the new items: 4 refined + weapon from the set = the set hat. (Unless you're a Spy, in which case it's either the hat or the rose. I can only imagine the terror of owning one of the two items and spending 4 refined for a 50% chance of getting the other!)

I'm actually pretty bad at getting kills as scout. The way I play it, just keep pestering. They can't kill your heavy/medic pair if they have to run over to point B so you don't get the cap. This tactic is especially effective if you take the time in Steel to take out the sentry guns they have pointed at E, and then hop on over.

Getting a lot of kills with the scout is somewhat like chainstabbing with the spy. Takes a mix of skill and luck. Neither of which I possess. I mostly work on getting medics and lone people as the scout, plus helping cap.
