The Pyro should remain a mystery.

Medic 2 Comments , ,

The tagline for the Spy was that he is a riddle wrapped in an enigma, but it turns out we know quite a lot about the Spy. He fancies Scout’s mother and he had a full miniature meal in his teeth. The only thing that we know about the Pyro is that when fire is around, he sees everything as rainbows and candy. We don’t even know if he’ s a he. Actually, I say that, there is some stuff we know about the Pyro. We know it likes puppies and we know that it can actually run a business,… [Continue Reading]

Why you should heal Shotgun Heavies

aabicus 0 Comments , , , , ,

Most gag classes are not getting any sort of love from my Medigun. Trolldiers can go find their health somewhere else. Demoknights usually are in charge of taking care of themselves, what with the medley of health-returning swords at their disposal. Gunspies will get the same treatment as regular spies, i.e. a spritz behind friendly lines or a long-range crossbolt if I have a split-second and line-of-sight. And don’t get me started on so-called combat medics. But shotgun heavies, on the other hand, are always treated by me as lovingly as any other legitimate class, and they can look forward… [Continue Reading]

How to Impersonate Scout in Loadout

DapperApples 0 Comments , ,

Loadout’s been one of those other games I’ve been getting into these days.  One of the main gimmicks is that you build your weaponry out of a bunch of gun parts and chassis, and shoot bad dudes on the other team in a way reminiscent of older twitch shooty games.   It’s actually a good bit of fun once you can get past some of the crude humor.  Today we are going to try and replicate a TF2 class and see if its any good in a completely different game.  Let’s make the scout. So what will we need?  First, a… [Continue Reading]

Nucleus is a great map and I don’t care what you say about it.

Medic 0 Comments ,

I remember saying once that I disliked Nucleus. I can’t remember why, but it was something along the lines of it being a Sniper friendly map. But after having played on it a bit more, and having played on REAL Sniper friendly maps, I feel I should retract that statement. And maybe add a few more positive statements too. My original thoughts were about Snipers being way too powerful on Nucleus, especially on Arena Mode since you die and that’s it. I decided though to try and play Sniper myself. We all know I’m a useless Sniper, but to be… [Continue Reading]

How to Jump Safely in a Wrangled Universe: Adaptability, Self-Preservation, and You

Tarrynot 0 Comments , , ,

As fun as it can be, the viability of sentry jumping — undoubtedly one of the flashiest tools in the Engineer’s arsenal — is severely limited in comparison to the other two forms of self-initiated explosive mobility, rocket- and sticky-jumping. The setup and positioning demands, not to mention the unforgiving health cost — all the more dangerous for a light class — can leave players scratching their heads and asking, quite reasonably, what possible use sentry jumping could have outside of gimmick plays in artificial or highly unlikely situations. No matter how you spin it, sentry jumping will always require… [Continue Reading]

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

aabicus 0 Comments , , , , , ,

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]
