Pyromania 101 with the guy who used to hate Pyros

Dekky 0 Comments , ,

Something extraordinary has happened. I think Pyro might be my new favourite class. Hiya chaps and chapettes, I’m Dekky and I’ve been playing TF2 for about a year now. I’m still a “newbie,” let’s get that out of the way now. In the past year, I’ve been burnt to a crisp countless times, had my head bashed in with every axe and hammer in the game and been airblasted off many a cliff. I’ve never enjoyed having Pyros around and never had success when playing as one. In fact, when Medic interviewed me for this very blog, I said Pyro was… [Continue Reading]

Stock engineer is better on offense than defense

aabicus 0 Comments , ,

(Note: This article was co-written with SilverAlen, and it was originally his observation. Thanks Alen!) The key here is “stock” Engineer, but after some time playing him I’ve noticed that he’s honestly more important to his team on offense than defense. At least on pubs. Why? Hear me out! If engineer is on a dedicated offensive team, enemies are less likely to push and less likely to destroy his nest. Even when they do, they usually do not prioritize him. Defensive teams tend to use the Kritzkrieg or Quick-Fix, so you are less likely to get ubers. Spies will typically… [Continue Reading]

Synergy In Every Medic Loadout Combination

Medic has very few unlocks, it’s true, but this really is because almost every niche he’d need filled is already in there somewhere. The lion’s share of discussion on this topic is dedicated to his secondary Medigun, but what about his options in primary and melee? Well, for a change of pace I thought I could cover every single available weapon combo in Medic’s Primary/Melee slots, how they synergize, and their viability and effectiveness as a combo. I’m leaving out the bonesaw because it should never be used ever. Crossbow/Amputator: If you’re going to use the Amputator, this is the… [Continue Reading]

Medic tries to explain more things…

Medic 0 Comments ,

There’s so much unexplained stuff that it hurts in Team Fortress 2. Alright, it doesn’t really hurt, but for an anal retentive OCD person, it probably does annoy them a bit. Just a bit, mind you. There’s generally more important things to be bothered about, like whether you locked all the doors or whether you turned the gas off. Today, I’m going to actually finish this article because I’ve been writing it on and off for about two months explain a few more things. Mostly taunt-related for some reason. The Medicating Melody Taunt Personally, I rarely find a chance to use the… [Continue Reading]

How to get Infinite Hand Grenades in Team Fortress Classic

aabicus 0 Comments , ,

If you’re familiar with Team Fortress Classic, then you should immediately notice something wrong with this picture. Grenades are items thrown with the F key (by default), they’re not a holdable item like your other weapons. Well, while grabbing screenshots for my last article on grenades, I stumbled across something very cool. Absolutely a glitch, but one where you can get a bottomless supply of fully-functional hand grenades. Here’s what you need to do to replicate the glitch yourself: 1) The first thing you’ll need to do is import the maps from Half-Life Deathmatch into TFC. In other words, grab… [Continue Reading]
