Heh latest patch notes,

Team Fortress 2
- Definitely did not add cheats for upcoming Free-2-Play Invitational Cup.

Do you know how to airstrafe? That can be a big problem with people's rocket jumps. You can find a lot of good videos on youtube explaining it, and it's SO HELPFUL in every aspect of the game.

[Duke 2.0]

Gunboats is a pain in the ass as it is. It doesn't need any buffs.

Comp balance is a joke, just ban it if this becomes a problem. And remember that while a soldier is shooting at a target he cant really focus on airstraifing onto said moving target for the damage bonus. The knockback resistance would help with the apparent Wrangler problem comp is having.

[Soulwynd]

Yes well, I play in both comp and pub settings, and even in the pub setting it's a pain in the ass when a skilled soldier gets on. (Or when I'm in a good day.)

I had this day in badlands against comp people where I rolled out like crazy. Then again, the medic was this awesome girl and she would catch me in middle air and boost my health before I rolled out again. So the credit wasn't all mine.

I got my 16 kills streak that day. Rocket launcher + gunboats ftw. It pick that in most map settings. The exceptions are when I'm alone most of the time, then I pick a shottie. If we have sentry problems or grouped up people, then I pick one of the backpacks, depending on the issue we're facing.

Had an amusing game on Upward (attacking) with most of the team as Engies. One guy managed to sneak into the enemy base and put a tele there shortly after we took the first cap, letting us wreak havoc around the entrance. Eventually I hauled my level 3 sentry behind cap 2 taking out all the defenders almost immediately, and the round was pretty much set from thereon. Coincidentally, this was the first time I tried playing Engie for a whole game.

[Duke 2.0]

 Every time I attack as blu on Gold Rush I try to plant a tele in the tunnel behind red spawn. The rounds where it works are the most amazing thing and both teams congratulate me on the hilarity of the situation.

 I read the official forums from time to time to see the crazy things people suggest. One option was a shotgun for the pyro that has like 300% extra knock back on airborne targets and a good 20% damage reduction. I know restricting movement of players is frustrating and a bad idea, but flying everywhere from knock back seems like fun enough to evade that issue. And I like playing around with nonstandard gameplay elements like gravity, friction, fall damage, damage falloff and map resources like medkits and ammo boxes.

[Tradanbattlan]

I've always entertained the thought of a reverse flamethrower thats primary fire was a continuous airblast and secondary fire was a close-ranged puff of fire.


Also, map concept that I made at midnight last night.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's an underground facility that RED uses to create weapons that is polluting water. BLU, the TERRORIST HIPPIES they are, want the water to not be polluted, so they're going to BLOW SHIT UP AND STOP IT.

One of the main features of this map is its many water bodies, some of which cause damage or have hazards, others being pure. Knowing the difference between these could be life or death in some situations!

The map is divided into three stages. The first is half above ground, where the bomb is being pushed into the facility through a warehouse area. The second goes through corridors with tubes and pipes running every which-way, making good cover. The third and final one goes upward again, and it is just below where RED's main generators are. Blowing up the bomb blows the generators, shutting down the facility for good.

[Duke 2.0]

 Make a section where the bomb goes underwater completely and there needs to be fighting underwater and you have gold. And a secret laser in one of the pipes, because let's be honest both sides are trying to develop doomsday weapons.

I dunno, might make some classes under/overpowered in that section.

For example, Pyro would be useless, while the Demoman would be even better. (It's hard to dodge grenades in the water and even harder to spot stickies.)

[The Scout]

There has to hazards on the sides. Pyros can airblast.

Ah, but that's just the point. Different fields call for different tactics, calling for different weapons.

Sure, but most maps are quite balanced, making for an even playing field for all classes, with many paths for different tactics.

Here, it'd be necessary to take the underwater route because that's where the cart goes. So it isn't really perfect.

[3]

Wouldn't have to be. You could have an alternate route through another room, allowing either team to flank the other. Obviously the cart wouldn't go through there.

[Duke 2.0]

 Vents easily accessible by the attacking team that drop into the room where the defending team jumps into the water to defend the cart. Pyros can always ambush defenders before they enter the water. They never really help with cart pushing anyway.

[Dsarker]

What about having the water that is hazardous change at random intervals? Could be fun to be trying to ambush an enemy and suddenly your life.
