Black Waltz Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 haha are you saying pyros are actually useful medic targets More so than a sniper, spy or scout.
atmuh Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 thats debatable except for spy at least and as far as votescrambling there are some people like me and a couple of admins that will pretty much never votescramble or force a scramble regardless of whether were on the team rolling or the team getting rolled there really shouldnt be a problem with people like that as they dont care and just wanna play
ParanoidDrone Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 FWIW, I think the reason people don't try for scrambles is because RTV is easier. Either that or they forget scramble exists. (Guilty...) haha are you saying pyros are actually useful medic targets Compared to Scouts, Snipers, and Spies? Damn straight. Especially when Ubered, or maybe Kritzkrieged if Lady Luck smiles on you.
Eulogic Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 i think it would cause unnecessary drama to name names here, but some people will always, always votescramble if their team loses 2 rounds in a row but never do it if they're rolling 6-0. i votescramble pretty much every round regardless of who is winning or whether or not it is balanced
moooonpie Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 is 'bodyshot?!!?' rly funny or is it just another passive aggressive attempt to say the person that killed you is bad LOL????????
EdgeCrusher Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 It's mainly just to point out "hey, next time hit me in the head, kthx!".
Eulogic Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 very little on the internet is funny but it sure is repeated a lot!!!
Powerlord Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 I bodyshot people all the time! Then again, I tend to use The Huntsman. Still, with the Sniper Rifle, I find it easier to bodyshot Scoots when charged, since they still die from a single hit.
Sporknight Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 I say "bodyshawt?!?!?" the same way I go "facestab?!?!?!". When I do it, I'm just poking fun, really. God knows, I suck enough at sniper I really have no business telling the enemy team to L2P. One of my roommates consistently bodyshots, actually. He blames it on his Army training - he naturally goes for the center of mass.
atmuh Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 is 'bodyshot?!!?' rly funny or is it just another passive aggressive attempt to say the person that killed you is bad LOL???????? it was/is a meme that actually started about a year ago at one of my announcer nights on spengboob muse (someone whos banned from here but goes to remod still) had a really great way of screaming BODYSHOT when he was our announcer and eventually i said man we gotta get a recording of this so i can play it whenever i want so i did (one of these days i need to get the demo of that match waaay back when and put that one segment on youtube) but yeah since then people play that wav or do their own imitation of it do be funny although after a while it got pretty annoying and i was sorry that i ever posted that wav on the internet way back when! there were actually a few servers that had it on the servers themselves and itd play when you got a bodyshot kill for a while sorta related but not really bodyshots are definitely the most annoying thing with random damage on because they have no falloff so if youre playing with the spread off you know EXACTLY how much damage youll do even before you click no matter what
Powerlord Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 bodyshots should be weaker tbh Bodyshots aren't that powerful unless the sniper has been zoomed in for a while. While zoomed in, they move at 20% of their normal speed, making them easy targets to certain other attacks (other snipers, spies, direct hit shots...)
ParanoidDrone Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 bodyshots should be weaker tbh This has nothing whatsoever to do with your post, but... YOUR SIG! NEGATIVE MAN! That is all. OT: What about the Huntsman/Ambassador?
Bleck Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Ambassador doesn't do extra damage (in fact does less) compared to the Revolver, so that's moot. The Huntsman is supposed to be a closer-combat alternative, so I actually think the body shots should do slightly, ever so slightly, more damage, and the headshots should only be minicrits.

I thought the Ambassador did the same amount of damage as the Revolver, but it fires slower. The Huntsman's main disadvantage is that you can't instantly fire it... it takes a second to pull the arrow back first.

The Ambassador has -15% power, -20% fire speed compared to the vanilla Revolver.
Clefairy Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 you can't instantly fire it... Sure you can. It just changes the trajectory, so it's not terribly effective beyond short range. Don't tell me they patched that out?
Bleck Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 No, you can still instafire the Huntsman. Problem is an instafired arrow headshot will still do 150+ damage.
Brushfire Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 I think that he is referring to the cool-down time between shots, Bleck. I really do hate that cool down time too. Gotten me killed so many times.
atmuh Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 the ambassador is fine because the cooldown between headshots takes a while if you wanna headshot twice you need to wait a decent amount and as far as regular hits the combat text really shows how WEAK it is compared to the regular revolver im not exactly sure why people use the huntsman anymore its basically just like playing demoman except your pipes have zero splash damage so why not just play demoman so you have more health and can also use stickies snipers usually arent a help to the team but huntsman snipers are even less of a help
Bleck Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 im not exactly sure why people use the huntsman anymore because sometimes people having fun does not necessarily align with being a credit to team
atmuh Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 but if you wanna do exactly what a demoman does (which is what the huntsman is) just play demoman
ParanoidDrone Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Demomen can headshot now? o_O In all seriousness, the Huntsman -Travels faster -Does not cause self-damage -Can headshot -Can be charged for a straighter trajectory, faster speed, more damage, and longer range Distinct enough from grenades and stickies imo.
atmuh Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 the prediction and trajectory thats involved in the arrows in incredibly similar to aiming pipes sure they can headshot but have you SEEN how much direct pipes do? they do ~100 which is a heck of a lot more than an uncharged bodyshot from an arrow charging shots as a sniper is just a waste of time youll find that the snipers that spend the least amount of time charging and much more of their time aiming before they scope, scoping, and then immediately headshotting are the snipers that are the really good ones the only class you should really ever charge for is a heavy
Bleck Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 but if you wanna do exactly what a demoman does (which is what the huntsman is) hey now the huntsman can't charge or take heads >:C
