Yeah, there are also two new maps in this update, so most people are going to be blundering around them with no idea where they’re going – just like you.īecause the classes are so different, there’s always one you can play with some success no matter what your skill level. I think an Engineer is the easiest to start with (you don’t even really have to know how to aim ) )… pyro’s are pretty easy to play too… spies and demos are really fun. But I think Valve did a pretty good job of making TF2 much more about *fun* rather than skill level / reaction times - the random crits alone break the causality between skill level and winning a fight. I usually play on random pubs and I can tell you that the skill level of other players varies by almost infinity. Well, I would guess today’s your lucky day, given that they just shook up one of the classes and everyone’s going to be running around chaotically trying to change up their gameplans. I envision servers rammed to the gills with people who have been playing for half a year, which coupled with my poor FPS skills generally would lead to frustration, torment and despair.Īm I right? Do people know of servers where the standard of play still has the endearingly amateurish quality I heard so much about in the first few weeks where no-one knew what they were doing? Uni work is now over, and now I find myself intimidated out of even beginning with TF2.

So here’s the thing for me: I bought the Orange Box when it came out, played Portal and loved it, but at the time I never really started playing TF2 because i was busy with uni work. =PĪpparently there are some rumors on shacknews about the 3rd unlockable weapon being a jetpack…Īpparently not ZomBuster. As an Australian, I appreciate the character (although the accent feels a bit off), and the “Yes, yes he did” is one of the best scenes I’ve ever had the pleasure to witness. To take a different tack from everyone else, I reckon that Meet the Sniper was epic. Imagine one-two combos with that and the Axtinguisher! Reload would be too slow to make it a consistently effective long-range weapon, thus not breaking the Pyro play style. That makes it significantly worse than the shotgun for everyday scrapping, but great for stirring up a hornet’s (or engineer’s) nest from a distance. Shot maybe splashes off walls for burn damage? Does not huge amounts of immediate damage, but causes 5-10 seconds of burn. Fires a small, arcing shot which is extremely fast. Here’s my speculative take: shotgun replacement, only holds one round in the breach and takes a very long time to reload. Maybe he could fastidiously clean out the tube with a little wire brush. Yeah, hopefully mimed suicide by Flaregun wound to the temples. Whatever it is, tt better have it’s own taunt!

I really don’t want it to be anything grenade launcher-like… Possibly a flare gun that extends burning time, or something. I’m hoping this’ll be a Shotgun replacement.
