This just happened now. This guy in Prophunt, was the last one left and the whole other team was alive and somehow he managed to kill literally everyone as a tree.

Warm and fuzzy feelings forever! So I'm still new, but I am kicking some major ass with Medic. I can keep my whole team alive for hours, so not to brag, but I'm pretty awesome at the heals. Plus I've finally got thehang of pushing G to switch to my gun and I can take of my self if I see a Spy coming up to my Heavy or Engine. Everyone calling Medic! and I come rushing over and totally save their butts (unless it's a raging Demoman with a sword, then we all die together) and during the other team raid everyone over the chat "Protect ze Doktor!!" "Save the Medic!" "Don't worry Doc! We got you."
Mfw my team loves me.

Unfortunately, even after a year or so of playing, I haven't found a server where I've made any friends or not gotten insulted if I decide to play Pyro or Medic (even by my own teammates, who have actually told the other team to please kill me), or just plain sucked. Or my team refuses to work together. Or I try to get to know them and they ignore me.

I love the universe and the characters, but this is my first FPS ever. And this along with my social anxiety is just killing my interest in it. I want to be able to have fun.

>>6949
I like to make a minimum of friendship within a server for fun and usually about 24 slots within each time it is populated and try to be useful with medic and maybe chatting with as little as possible with a question about the subject they are talking about or make a joke.
If maybe late at night or in the afternoon, I suggest you join our servers(The Maintrain), I'm sure you will fit right in with no problems

>>6952
The problem was, I'd play Medic, and I consider myself halfway decent at Medic, but every time I tried to heal them, they'd run off or switch to Equalizer. They simply didn't want a Medic at all on the server, and both teams were talking about how weak they were and only good for killing.

I wasn't off-topic when I did speak, it's just that it was very clique-y. Anyone new was left out.

I'll try. Thank you so much! Is everyone ridiculously good there?

>>6953
Your team doesn't want a medic? People I play with always ask someone to switch cause we end up with like 10 pyros and spies and no one to heal. You playing with some jerks I tell you what!

>>6953
The medic is generally not taken unless you want to win, many soldiers and want the kills and demoman too and of course then they lose, they insult the team because they are useless blah blah blah (this happens to me especially in 32slot's server). The doctor should be used as a fellow with a bit of brain, the game becomes fun, then the number of assists which increases steadily

>Is everyone ridiculously good there?
Yes.

>>6956
I can't play on that server then, sorry. I won't stand a chance.

Followed a buddy to a server, we stayed on for about an hour. By the end of it, both of us were just derping around, me as a heavy and him as my medic, when this new medic attaches himself to me.

The new medic starts talking, he sounds like he is about 12 or 14 years old, and tells me that I'm obviously a good player since im sitting at the top of the score board. The little guy seems new so I spend the next hour or so answering his questions and teaching him little tricks I picked up, which is admittedly not much, but a little does help. The kid was so adorable. he wasn't being overly annoying and was trying to actually help the team and used his mic sensibly.

Gah left me with warm fuzzies for a bit since the little guy was having so much fun playing this awesome game

>>6961
Eh, I'm a mediocre player and the few times I was there, I had a good time. Granted, half of those times we were derping around, but I find derping gives me time to learn how to move around as whatever class I'm playing and dick around with the controls in general.

Also, I got lost in the Hallway of Death map once. You can't possibly be a worse player than that.

Anon, I think you're me! Like. Good God, I just suck phenomenally and irreparably at this game, even with 50 hours under my belt. And anxiety really doesn't help...but things do get better! Just the other day I was playing with a group of people who were actually communicating, and I rushed in (as pyro) and extinguished a few burning teammates who were capping the final point. We won, and one of the guys thanked me for saving them and I WAS SO HAPPY THAT DAY.

>>6949
Oh don´t be bothered. I mean it took some months until i came into my steam/servergroup. It mostly was coincidents that i even became freind with them and all. Still i know myself some players from servers, which don´t talk with me or ignore me, even as i played with them my whole Tf2 carrer and had sometimes a little chat. This happens, but don´t feel bad about it.

Anyway i found Demomans new charging target. So what is the natural process of it? Yessss, change class to demoknight. Badlands King of the Hills map comes than and it was glorious. I love the outfit of my Demoman and just running around with my fellow friend/Demoknight taking heads and heads and laughing about Demomans Lines (There can be ONLY ONE!) and not to SUCK at this class made my night.

Just this video says it all.

I'd embed it, but the chan won't let me, durp.

Last night I joined into my regular server, an endless (no cap limit) CTF on 2Fort Egypt, and figured Id build an engie base im my usual spot.

Dispenser in a little room in the enemy intel, a sentry blocking that little room's entrance, and a teleporter exit in a sunroof only reachable through rocket jumping.

Then came the Pro Pyro.
Try as I may to kill him, he wouldnt die. he stayed right out of range of my sentry, from accross the room, and never missed a beat on reflecting it's rockets back at me. I couldnt leave my cubby-hole, he was deadly at aiming those things.

Then, came my team's Pyro.
I watched as the Pro Pyro reflected my sentry's rockets directly back at my things, and my savior reflected them right back to him. And then he reflected them, again.

Then the rockets hit the ground.
The next five minutes was me using my wrangler to shoot rockets so the Pyros could have their impromptu dodgeball game until a passing soldier stuck up on Pro Pyro.

It was maybe my favorite moment in TF2 in a long time.

>"Hey sister! My friend Heather loves TF2 too. You should talk to her."
>Joins server with her

>AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. BITCHES DON'T BE CALLING ME F2P

Just got back from playing a few rounds with a regular on the Chan called Donny. We made an awesome Heavy\Medic pair in Dustbowl. Can't remember much else about what happened, but it was great fun. Until my mom and lag came and ruined the fun.

There was once. It was, what a few days after I bought the game and decided to go Medic. I was like "Okay, I can do this," then in the game I was like "HOLY SHIT, HOW DO I DO THIS?! GARH?! PANIC!" and decided to tag along after the Heavy.

We both ended in respawn at some point, and I feared it was my fault (being new, and feeling n00by and all) and started apologizing and shit, and he just said on the mic: "No worry. Medeec ees credit to Team!" in Heavy accent. I swear, I melted right then and there.

Another time with a lucky moment. I was Medic (YAY), and I was fast thinking that day (unbelievable, I know) and made an uber before round start. I tagged along after a Heavy, but before I could use the uber at the proper time, my Heavy died. "Fuck, what do we do, what do we do?! PANIC!" Spotting a Soldier, instasprint, and deploy.
...the amount of owning that happened afterwards cannot be descriped in mere words.

>That awesome moment when you have tons of fun on an official Valve server, help and praise people, give out orders when needed, your team wins as a result and two players even thank you for it later.

Pubservers can be so fucking sweet, oh wow! The team player Solly inside me feels all fuzzy and happy.

The moment when, after not being able to do anything at all, and just getting spawnkilled, the team pulls it together. Medic Ubercharges the Heavy, and the soldier's buff banner kicks in. Suddenly, the other team just falls apart, and it's wonderful.

Ahh, I love it when I play as engineer and two or three people go engineer and we do a sentry party, with everyone helping upgrade and protect the sentries, so we win every time. It's amazing because we don't talk to eachother, we just know what to do. It's an amazing feeling to protect someone else's sentry from spies. Plus, we set up dispensers and everyone on our team goes and hides behind our defenses when they are hurt. It's amazing.

last night, i was playing on a pub server (plr_hightower) and our team was full of absolute newbs. they were simply inexperienced, but we were still losing. i was a pyro, burning enemies left and right, trying to push the cart (not my job but i'm trying to help carry the team here.) all of a sudden, this guy joins and he starts trying to get my team of clusterfuck to actually work together. he gives out friendly commands like, "soldier, take out the sentry! scout, help me push the cart! demo is a spy!" and he was all like "good job guys, we can do it!" everyone listened to him and even though he was the only one on mic, it was one of the only TEAM fortress 2 games i've played yet. we ended up getting our shit together and winning even though we were about several points behind the other team before he joined that round. we all piled on top of each other on the cart (all 10-12 of us) so the other team couldn't take us down while we reached the final terminus. the sheer teamwork that was involved in that round is what this game is really all about. sadly, i don't see it nearly enough.

So, after Team Gee went down in dustbowl I decided to do a lobby match the following day (today). Luckily, there was still one or two dustbowls up for fallout practice, both teams rolled out as bein pretty even skill wise and I went what I was last night, testing some of the stuff I did in the match to see how it worked again.

I. Tore. Shit. Up. I don't know if it was just the team clicking or the waves we went in, it was almost identical to how Team Gee rolled out but this time it all worked. Our sniper was pretty boss as well, counter snipering at a groovy rate as well as takin out key targets and my early solo mini pushes to panic and maybe gett a weakening blow went of without a hitch, wrecking their medic over and over and even getting the drop on their sentry, which would immediately be followed by the rest of the team to distract everyone else or push em back.

It was just a boost to see it click with great ease this time around I suppose.

So was playing attack/defend on a map I dont remember the name of. On defense so I was pybroing it up. Spychechecking, deflecting rockets, protecting the point, shooting flares at snipers etc.
Suddendly a Ubered Heavy Medic pair come around the corner! Time to airblast them and get murdered! (for the team)
Puff, Puff, back around the corner. I'm about to die........ WHEN UBER OUT OF FREAKING NOWHERE!
I burnup the heavy and chase the medic back to their front lines. Two Sentry nests are there to greet me. Shit. Burn the one engie and am about halfway done with one sentry when uber wears off.
well that was almost... ANOUTHER UBER OUT OF FREAKING NOWHERE!
Completely obliterate their front lines and push back all the way to their spawn.
I don't say much in games but I made a point to say how awesome the Medics were

I joined this server for a while and my team couldn't get their shit together, there were too many engies and snipers, so I went Medic to help the few offensive players. I was MVP a lot until we switched maps to cp granary, but I capped all the points and won 3 rounds in a row without dying. On one of the rounds I capped the last point myself, and someone said "Solo Medic cap ftw" so I felt pretty awesome for that. It was nice to actually be essential in a team and acknowledged for it too.
And, I love playing on the Mantrain, even if I'm not that good or funny (If I'm in a good enough mood I can delude myself to think I am).

I always thank medics when they go out of their way to heal me (especially when I'm being stupid, I never call for medics, stupid me). Anyway.

But anyway, I was playing as medic once and on the chat, someone asks for a force-a-nature.

I had one that I had gotten in a trade, but I had never used since I barely play scout. So I traded him the force for something (can't remember what, but it was useful). He thanked me happily and immediately spammed Scout.

After that he'd voluntarily run around me and spycheck as I was following the lumbering hoovies. When he got autobalanced I saw his name pop up in the kill corner and we joked back and forth about how many kills he was getting with the new gun.

Needless to say I was happy the force was in capable hands. I even hit a scout milestone a couple days later and acquired a new one.

Today I was watching my little brother play without any prompting his team was made entirely of Medics and one Heavy. It was brilliant to watch because they'd all heal each other and pop Ubers at staggered times.

I was having a very shit day and decided to wind down with some TF2 to blow off some steam. I had played a few games badly, but then I joined a team and whilst playing Sniper a Heavy with a silly hat on came up to me and kept blocking my view by bobbing up and down. They made me lol which made me feel better.

I've converted my brother to the way of death tag in funny hats. He and I have pretty much completely opposite playstyles, so we're either complementing each other when on the same team or always getting each other killed as enemies. It's a blast to be in a game where both of us can enjoy ourselves.

Not so much a nice time as an eerie one, but still kind of noteworthy.

When I joined the server, there was a handful of other people already playing. By the time a round on Viaduct started, all of them had disconnected at once-- not just afk, I mean there was no one. So I'm wandering around in an empty frozen landscape. It was tranquil and lovely but kind of weird, and I kept waiting for someone to pop out of nowhere and kill me.

The one time I play as Heavy, and there's absolutely nobody to shoot... Still, I did get to enjoy all the pretty detail/effort put into the environment, since I'm usually too busy trying to kill/survive to really take it all in.

From tonight:

>Guy being an asshole over chat because I'm not some magical god-like player that headshots a scout from 500 feet the second I get online.
>Admin bans him.
>I get my first domination about an hour later.

It made me feel kinda special is all.

Playing 5Gorge, first time playing, have no idea what the goal is (what is capping?) and as a Scoot, I stand on one of the checkpoints, admiring the cap bar. I cap that SOB all by myself and no one came in the room to attack me. Holy mother.
Playing Capture the Flag late at night. Totally killing and playing well as a Pyro on Coldfront, Harvest, Egypt. I get an MVP for the first time and land myself in 3rd place (usually, I'm at the bottom).
At Nucleus, I'm 'sniping' as a Soldier from one of the vantage point, Spy comes in an tries to stab me. I kill him with my Shovel. Twice.
Also, everytime I've done a successful Spycheck (I'm naturally paranoid)
I racked up so many hits on Turbine when spies attempt to get to my Engies

I was at 2fort in a pubserver. I managed to somehow climb to the top of the scoreboard. I'm still new to tf2 (around 50 hours), so it was pretty cool. Then it ended with my first ever stalemate and I killed someone with fencing. Felt good.

Deleted my past comment cause it had an emoticon in it. Sorry, I just got so excited that I got caught up in the heat. Won't happen again.

Anyway, the reason why I was so happy was because I just played TF2 with four of my in-real-life buddies. It was the first time that I've played with so many of my friends, and it was really fun. They're all really good players too, so I could rack up my kill assists while being their Medic. It makes it all the sweeter when you save them as well; one of my friends was going as Spy but she got discovered in enemy territory. So happens that I happened to be crossing the area while ubering the Soldier. What happens is that I get knocked back by enemy rockets, so my medigun beam can't connect with the Soldier. Seeing as he died, I switched my uber to my friend Spy to help her get out. Although I died, she lived to stab another day. It felt really good to have teamwork in Team Fortress 2 for once, instead of having people yell at me for trying to encourage them to work together with me.

Played a couple rounds of balloon race for the first time. My face was like this cat. Not only was it ridiculously fun, everyone on the server seemed to be getting along nicely, I got an item drop, and I did some successful sniping.

It's weird, to both be filled with the milk of human kindness and be shooting people in the head at the same time, but that's how I felt.

Well, I guess I also felt filled with the milk of human kindness while I was playing Medic, and since I tend to only heal folks and not go on a killing spree of my own, that works...

Anyway, it was the most fun ever until my Internet connection cut out on me... but yeah. Sometimes a good round just makes me want to hug the whole world.

I was running around with a buddy of mine who was playing a spy when we found out that most of the blu team was demos. They were just standing around in one corner of neucleus chatting it up so he walked in the middle of them and typed out Demomen. Then he just kind of walked away and took point. I started giggling like an ass.

This may not seem remarkable like the ones I've read, but a couple of weeks ago when I was playing Sniper, I was going through a tunnel to get to the payload cart (on BLU). As I was walking through, I saw a RED Spy cloak and the only gun with me was the sniper rifle. So I start shooting at where he cloaked, but he appears next to me. Well, it must have been a lucky day for me because I shot the fourth time, and that Spy went down. Has anyone else shot someone close range with a sniper rifle?

Me and two Medics on the other team were derping around, playing ring around the spy, blinding everyone with the Meet The Medic Taunt, jump rope and whatnot. They then go to an area I didn't know how to get to so they tell me how. I have some trouble at first but finally manage to get up there, I felt so proud. The two medics start spamming the cheers and positive calls. It was beautiful, I shed a lone tear.

Then we had some fun bonesaw fights.

Saxton hale mod on badlands and it was my turn. some demo fag got his medic to overheal him so he could bomb jump up to a lamp post and put stickys over the point while being out of reach. i approached the point, crouched and faced his direction. Jumped at the EXACT right moment, goomba stomped his ass. The entire server rofl'd

>>8651
definitely sounds like something saxton hale would do.

>>8651
So you jumped off -his- stickies and landed on his head?

At friends house playing Tf2 even though he claims fandom ruined it for him.
>Make fun of him for above.

Get a turn, play as Spy and run across map in disguise. Get behind enemy cart
>Entire enemy team standing in a straight line
>Get 9 backstabs in a row
>MFW

Also kicked from server because they were all 12 and began screaming haxxorz, slurs and the kitchen sink.
At least we got a huge kick out of it.

Just held the point for TWENTY minutes. No idea how we managed it, but we did. BLU didn't even manage to get the first point, although they did come close a few times. And I only died three times as the Medic, so I'm feeling pretty happy at the moment.

> Playing on server with much of my friends.
> Getting interrupted to trade a hat... Cappers Capo
> Happy Birthday to me (unfortunate not in a wrap, because i want that everyone knows who gave it to me. It´s a birthday present people should know where it comes from. Ahh yes. Eternal Gratitude now to this person.)
> Running around for the rest of the matches as Heavy showing off my new hat
> Steamrolling with a other Heavy the opposite team getting called HeavyNoob
> Ohh the rage

Okay, this isn't so much fun, as it is funny, but I'll post it anyway.

A friend and I were playing airblast volleyball with one of the BLU Scouts, who is also our friend. We were laughing in the mics, having a great time. Next thing I know, Scooty's stuck to the wall by an arrow.
I don't even know why, but we just FREAKED out, and started overdramatically weeping into the mic, and calling the Sniper a murderer and stuff. And the Scout came back and we freaked out, and killed him repeatedly, calling him a zombie.

It's fun being silly.

Helped a scout kill a heavy charging in through our base when we were the only ones in the area. They were all "DAMN wtf nice shot!" and I was all bashful and proud.

Had 3 refined metal but was saving up to craft Bonk Boy mask.
Sister cajoles me into crafting for a random hat, but I'm hesitant because one of my metal was untradable, and I wouldn't be able to give away a sucky hat.
Eventually I gave in and with baited breath, crafted the little fucker.
"You have just crafted Towering Pillar of Hats"
YES

I love/hate the random hat craft, it's like gambling/ trying for the lotto.

Okay, three quick stories.

First time I logged on the Mantrain, somebody was playing the orchestrated Phoenix Wright soundtrack. My best friend had just moved to Japan, and she was a huge fan of the series. So I felt happy and homesick at the same time. (I never seem to be on when everybody's on the Mantrain. Is there is a good time, in CST, for me to visit?)

Next--I firmly believe that you are playing Medic correctly when you haven't killed anybody and people are yelling over the mike about you. Let's say I had a little Harvest event where somebody raged at me for an abundance of consecutive ubers. My patient was a happy little Russian.

Third--one time, this gal and I held the basement of 2fort up for 49 minutes. It was probably some serious turtling, but I'd like to think of it more as a square dance. Two engies, a system of teleporters that made loops to and fro, two of every animal. Ya know. I think what especially made that round fun was that we had a Spy that kept riding our teleporters every time he was trying to sap them. He ended up with a wrench in his face. A lot. The only thing that broke the stalemate was our Scout getting two steals towards the last five minutes and winning the match.

While I was first getting into TF2, I met someone who was ALSO new to the game, and over the course of a year and a half we've become very close friends.

She's also the one helping me through the end of a very bad relationship that' been going on for four years.

Fuck yeah, Valve.

BABYS!
