My Favorite Moments in TF2 History

March 16, 2016 aabicus 0 Comments a week of Love and Hate, Classic Mixup, comics, love, medic, meet the team, MvM, TFC

TF2 was the first game I really immersed myself into, meaning that a lot of my earliest internet memories come from this game. And through all the years, all the updates, all the thousands of hours of playing this game, there are a few memories that stand out to me the most. In the spirit of Love and War Part 2, I thought I’d take an article to recall my fondest memories as a TF2 fan. Especially since my more traditional “what I love most” article already exists. In no particular order: 5. STAR_ wins Mixup 2013. It was possible for you to… [Continue Reading]

I Love My Weapons

March 14, 2016 SilverWolf 1 Comment a week of Love and Hate, fun, loadout, love, weapon

Now, this may come as a surprise to you, but TF2 has quite a lot of weapons! I know! Gobsmacking, isn’t it? But TF2 isn’t simply a mere game of murdering the other team with things that kill stuff. It’s a game of murdering the other team with things that kill stuff that you named and fell in love with! TF2 has always been a weird and wonderful game, full of zany characters with more weapons than you could shake a stick at. But it’s one of the few games I’ve ever played where weapons used by thousands upon thousands… [Continue Reading]

A Week of Love and Hate 2 – Why I love it when others write for the Daily SPUF

March 13, 2016 Medic 0 Comments a week of Love and Hate, community, contribution, fun, love, SPUF

Well, a Week of Love and Hate 2 is concluding, and the winner will be announced in a bit. But before we do all that, I’d like to write a little thing on the love side of this little event. When aabicus started writing for the Daily SPUF, I didn’t have much to do with it. I didn’t really write that much, it was just an occasional thing (even though both my first articles were published one after the other). Back then, back in late 2013, SPUF was a much busier forum. SCUD was a new thing and we were… [Continue Reading]

MeeM’s thoughts on difficulty and continuity

March 12, 2016 MysticTheMeeM 1 Comment a week of Love and Hate, analysis, balance, love, Team Fortress 2, theory

Often, I find myself asking: “why are you still doing this” or “your team isn’t trying, why should you”. And nearly every time I fail to answer, and then consequently die for not paying attention. But that’s the thing. Why did I die? I died because I made myself die. Not directly, rather I made the decision that I should die a couple of hours before playing. Now, I’m fairly certain most people, at some point in any game, get to a point where they no longer feel challenged and quickly after they become bored. At least this was true… [Continue Reading]

I Love Sniper

March 10, 2016 SilverWolf 0 Comments a week of Love and Hate, class, love, sniper

The challenge, the discipline, remaining calm enough to land that crucial shot when there’s an uncountable number of projectiles flying at you. Flickshots, quickscopes and, of course, headshots on airborne targets. Simply put, Sniper is a class only restricted by your own dedication and patience. It’s a nice change of pace from, quite frankly, the spammy nature of most TF2 classes. When you single-handedly drop a team, save the point or take out the enemy’s MVP and his pockets with efficient shooting, you know it was down to you, and you alone. Things don’t fall into place as Sniper. There’s… [Continue Reading]

A Love of Laughter

March 9, 2016 Medic 3 Comments a week of Love and Hate, comics, fun, love, Team Fortress 2

No matter how we look at it, Team Fortress 2 is an awesome game. There’s bits we whinge about and bits we complain about, as well as stuff that really shouldn’t be in it *cough*random crits and current autobalance*cough*, and a lot of us have gone and written about the things we all dislike, for our Week of Love and Hate. We’ve also written about a lot of things that we love too. Despite how simple that sounds, it’s actually a very hard subject to write about. I spent ages trying to pick a subject. At first I was going… [Continue Reading]

How Do I Love Thee?

March 7, 2016 TheOnlyGuyEver 1 Comment a week of Love and Hate, love

Let me count the ways… Like, at least 12. TF2 is an amazing game, and there are many, many things to love about it I could talk about various aspects all day, from the classes, to the weapons, to the fantastic art style. It’s a game that is almost 9 years old, and still has a great place in my heart. Of course, there are also things to hate about it, like random crits, unbalanced weapons, and 4 Snipers on a team, but I’ll always remember the good times that I had, and not the bad. Seriously, … [Continue Reading]

A Week of Love and Hate 2

March 6, 2016 Medic 0 Comments a week of Love and Hate, contest, event, hate, love

Hello everyone, and first off, happy mothers day to everyone. Particularly my mum. She’s awesome. This happy mothers day wish also includes, Heavy’s mum, Demoman’s mum and Scout’s mum. Maybe not Sniper’s mum though because she’s an alcoholic lunatic who is now sitting in a rocket in low orbit drinking herself to death while having left her son to die in a flooding city. That’s not really what we should be congratulating. Anyway, back to a week of love and hate! Ah, a week of love and hate. Last time round, for Valentines Day last year, we wrote about our… [Continue Reading]

I Love Crit Combos

March 6, 2016 SilverWolf 0 Comments a week of Love and Hate, critical, love, tag pun

Although Team Fortress 2 is known more for breeding fury with its RNG magic “You win!” 300% extra damage rolls, I adore them as a concept in multiplayer to be taken advantage of through weapon synergy as opposed to sheer luck. Sure, it may be more effective to simply mow the enemy down regularly, but goddamn, combos give you such a sense of accomplishment when you nail them. The Sandman / Flying Guillotine combo! Scout is a joy to play. Weaving and leaping throughout the map, being your team’s official meat tenderiser and throwing in second beatings free of charge.… [Continue Reading]

Character Annihilation 8 – Flustered

March 1, 2016 Medic 0 Comments Character Annihilation, hate, love, medic, story

You know what? I’ve neglected this series. And while I’ll probably never actually finish it, I’m not going to be a person who can’t take their cake and eat it (I fucking love cake), I’m going to prove that I’m the sort of person who can poke fun at themselves. Because I can. Also because I’m still holding off on posting those two Skyrim articles I wrote ages ago. Medic growled as the nemesis emblem appeared over yet another person’s head. It was bad enough knowing she was shit at TF2, she didn’t need it rubbed in, especially from… [Continue Reading]
