Pyrion Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 I'm looking at YOU, Pyrion, with your two kills for every one death. Last I checked it was up to three!
OceansAndrew Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 Saturday was super fun, I added a little [OCR] tag to my name now. If only I didn't suck at every class besides medic.. I guess I can console myself by being GREAT DOCTOR!

I guess I can console myself by being GREAT DOCTOR! DANKE, HERR DOKTOR! Though seriously, don't worry about not being great at other classes, you pick them up with practice. And truth be told, I'm not very good with many of the classes. Just basically soldier, medic, and Heavy.
SirChadlyOC Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 Last I checked it was up to three! [HOMER:] WHY YOU LITTLE-!! *strangle* I am teh suxorz at Demo, Spy, and Pyro, but I was trying my hand at Demolition yesterday ... with very little success, mind you, but it is a great server for practicing.
Bahamut Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Alright, so we came close to having a good number of people on tonight. Let's try to get more on tomorrow! I could've swore we were close to getting enough people to get random people to join and fill up the game . And welcome new people who joined in tonight! Come back tomorrow please .
zircon Posted May 13, 2008 Author Posted May 13, 2008 Chadly you had some awesome sniper shots, man. My favorite was on 2fort, I was Scout and you just BLASTED me away and I flew all the way into the water from the top of the bridge.
Triad Orion Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Yeah, you did some bad ass work tonight, Chadly. Great job. Also, great time, everyone. Hope to do it again soon.
Effef Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Steam ID: Effef Might pop in randomly, look for the engie with 13+ kills.
Pyrion Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 [HOMER:] WHY YOU LITTLE-!! *strangle* It's up to 3.33 now. Gosh I'm such a stats whore.
Sensai Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 What time do you guys usually play? I'd love to come and maybe bring a few friends (3, tops). [Edit:] And now, I feel like an idiot. :-/ Sorry guys, temporary illiteracy. Thanks for pointing that out, Brycepops.

Bahamut Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Today was a nice day of gaming guys - we had 18 people at once at one point, which is the third highest we've had (the highest two were the first two days of playing, full server both days). Those NeoGAF guys following JoeFu added some extra fun to the playing, thanks to them for coming!
Dhsu Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I learned today that I'm a terrible spy. But they're so coool. :[
The Derrit Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I wish I could have popped in for longer; I don't get enough chance to sit down for extended sessions anymore. I got some good stuff in though, I'll be around when I can!

Those NeoGAF guys following JoeFu added some extra fun to the playing, thanks to them for coming! Yeah, fun stuff. Too bad they left to go play on their server. Might start playing on the OCR one more, also played 2fort for the first time in a few months, kinda refreshing, but I see why I hated it.
Cyan_Ide Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Yeah, fun stuff. Too bad they left to go play on their server. Might start playing on the OCR one more, also played 2fort for the first time in a few months, kinda refreshing, but I see why I hated it. Yeah, my roommate and I aren't huge fans, either. It's nice to play once in awhile, but it really stagnates far too easily. Thanks for the nice night of playing everyone. With school over I should probably be able to participate quite often. Wes, I'll pitch in money in a couple of weeks when a more steady cash flow permits extra spending.
prophetik music Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 i had fun last night. too bad i'm really, really bad =)
SirChadlyOC Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Sniping is definitely fun, but I don't do it that often. I did the math, and I only play as sniper 8% of the time I'm playing TF2. I feel that sniper is a pretty useless class compared to demos, engies, medics, and heavies, but that's just my opinion. Usually, I try to pick my class based on whatever is most needed by my team. The other day, however, I felt like playing a class simply for fun, and I guess I went off a little. sorry.

Snipers are pretty important. If you can pick off the medic when they attack, it usually pisses them off like crazy. Also taking down a heavy with one shot helps a lot too.
Effef Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Snipers are only really horrible when they can't hit anything, or they get into contests with other snipers.

Also taking down a heavy with one shot helps a lot too. Oh yeah, I agree wholeheartedly with Joe. Nothing blunts an enemy offensive quite as effectively as a sniper's bullet. You don't want many snipers, but having a couple is vital to an effective defense strategy. Though they are less useful on the offensive, having a sniper back up the forward push can sometimes push the tide of victory in favor of the aggressor. Another use is to use the Sniper to pick off the Engineer fixing the sentry guns so that the soldiers or demomen can properly dispose of them. There's lots of effective uses for a good Sniper, it's just that it requires some foresight and sometimes it's highly situational. As Effef said, the only time you really run into a problem is if you get a sniper who can't hit anything. By all means, if you have fun with the class and you're contributing to the team effort, play it!
prophetik music Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 played sniper for the first time today. got 17 headshots in my first game...not bad, IMO. around a 1.6 k/d ration, too, so i was doing ok.
