Ugh, dammit. I wanted to post this in the team recruitment thread. Apologies.

Wow, that was QUICK. Spot filled!

For some reason I can't access the link. I keep getting a blank page with an error. Is there any other way I can get to the website?

Er, Nevermind. Sorry.

Out of 150 teams, my team finished 8th! Huzzah! That's some gooood playing!

How do teams usually practice for 6v6?

scrims, pick up games, lobbies etc

I move my mouse in 5-6 inch sweeps before lifting it (12 inches for a 180 degree turn.) You should probably be moving your mouse faster. Tons of pro scouts use a whole bunch of inches and manage to turn around as fast as anyone. Upping your sensitivity isn't worth the damage it'll do to your tracking ability, especially if you play an aiming class. Keep in mind that TF2 has lag compensation, so even if you turn around - if the stab looks good to the spy then you are going to get stabbed no matter what.

I use a rollerball. No space investment, hasn't let me down in 3 years.

I use a mouse with adjustable DPI so i can change it whenever I need to. If you get one, assign dpi changing to a macro so you can change it in an instant.

In case you are wondering, my particular mouse is a Razer Naga Epic, and i set dpi changing to one of the top buttons and the mousewheel.

You're in the right place, despite the name this is a board for all gameplay discussion.

I imagine it's daunting, but despite the large amount of item/map increases, the basic gameplay hasn't really changed and many of the default weapons are still considered superior. Tomislav was a straight upgrade before the health nerf, now it's up to you whether you want to use it or the default. I would ditch the dalokohs for a sandvich for throwing to your medic. Soldier loadout looks okay, but I might switch the reserve for a regular shotgun because you're lacking that 4th rocket with your blackbox, and you want the extra damage dealing potential.

Heavy: Ditch Dalakohs, not even particularly funny as a novelty item. Tomislav/Sandvich/GRU is a fine set-up, although you may get babies whining at you for using it. Swap to Minigun if there are a lot of Sentries or you're on kart pushing duty. The Sandvich/GRU combination is simply too good to give up in 90% of circumstances.

Soldier: Really you shouldn't be relying upon the BB, but if you're pubbing and can't be arsed being or babysitting a Medic it's not bad. Two things about the RS: it mini-crits ANYTHING in the air, not just conc jumpers, and its effect wears off 3 seconds after it is drawn, which not everyone seems to realise. It's good if you can consistently pop people into the air/you're fighting a lot of Scouts, otherwise the shotgun's longevity beats it.

Other options: The Liberty Launcher is good if you're REALLY struggling against Scouts, they really can't do much against it at all. Again though, that 1 less rocket makes you weaker, particularly in the air. Disciplinary Action is good if you're playing with a lot of Medics and Heavies who need whipping along a long CP map.

Demoknight: Lot of options for him, as long as you realise he's a strictly shits and giggles class and you're likely to die a lot against decent opponents using him. What I tend to use is Nades/Screen/Vanilla weapon of choice (SPANG): this leaves you with the all-conquering utility of nades, the ability to charge at point blank and do tons of damage, and gives the +25 health survivability which the Eyelander takes away from you. You might fancy taking the Eyelander instead if you're feeling brave- and the extra melee range is really helpful- but with the reduced shield protection you are very vulnerable. Remember with the Screen, for a split second after you shield bash someone your weapon is still charged- if you combo the two you should kill most things.

A more troll-y load-out is LnL/Targe/Persuader, which allows you to one-shit shit really easily and gives a hilarious amount of survivability. The Persuader was designed not to be usable with any explosive weapons, but as l

If you're planning to do something other than pub on low skill level servers, learn to play with mostly stock weapons. Quite few of the weapons you're using reward bad positioning or are bugged/overpowered, meaning they might be banned in some servers/leagues or get nerfs in the future.

Most 'serious' 6s teams play in ESEA, which is considered the main league. It's not very practical for beginners though, cause competition is really tough, and also you have to pay real $$$. The other leagues are CEVO, which isn't very competitive anymore, and UGC, which is more known for their highlander but has a small 6s season.

Looks like you got your wish, Serain. No more medium health pack on demand. Is sad day.

Now if they'll just nerf the ridiculous damage shield on the Phlog, and come up with a convincing downside to Dr. Enforcicle, more or less everything will be alright.

Ive noticed a trend, where a 6 v 6 player will hardly ever enter a pub without a perma medi buddy, yet most of them will shit all over pub play verbally. Why is this? It makes them look weak most the time, or stupid.

>>266
I highly doubt that a 6s player would care about how he looks like to pubbers. Many 6s players consider pubbing to be below them. I'm going to guess it's because it's fun to shit all over the enemy team. A pocket medic exponentially increases your killing potential and your survivability potential. 6s players are also accustomed to getting heals, so it may be frustrating to curb your playstyle on account of a lack of a reliable medic.

>>257
I disagree about roaming being a good role for a HL Pyro but that aside, there's no need for a weapon that slows down the Medic's healing since several classes can help him build uber without making one overheal a painfully long process.

Use this for money for your TF2 items!

I looked it up on google, seems legit,you don't earn much,but...
http://extremecouponingpei.ca/superpoints-can-you-really-make-money/
although one person has reported that they close your account after they earned money,but then again, I've only seen one...there isn't anything to lose but time,so might be something to check into...
protip: when you press the button,you have to have ad-blocking software OFF. that is how they get the money to give to you,apparently. back in the dial-up days I had a banner-ad program that gave us 13bux a month to keep it on the screen. it wasn't much but we didn't have alot of money at the time anyway,so it helped pay for our internet...
