Mod Showcase: Dodgeball

February 4, 2014 brickinator 0 Comments air, airblast, blast, dodge, dodgeball, game, gamemode, mod, mode, pyro, reflect

Hello. I’m Brickinator and this is another instalment of Mod Showcase; the column that watches back. This time we’ll be taking a peak at Dodgeball, a mod gamemode that combines the ancient arts of dodging things and not dying. In Dodgeball, everyone plays as the Pyro. The two teams spawn on opposite sides of a floating court and can only use Flamethrowers. You can’t pass onto the enemy side and if you fall off the edge of the court you scream and disappear into a gaping hole, just like your mum last night. I have a very patchy memory of my… [Continue Reading]

Little things you didn’t notice

February 4, 2014 Medic 0 Comments map

The world of Team Fortress 2 is a huge place. There’s rocks, weapons and hats everywhere. No matter where you look, you find little tidbits that are vaguely interesting, and they’re not always hats or something, just parts of the landscape that we’ve just not noticed. Let’s have a look at a couple of maps…

Giddeon and Other TF2 Pets

February 2, 2014 aabicus 1 Comment cosmetics, pyro

Pets are a fairly new thing in Team Fortress 2. The very early pets were things like the brain slug for Pyro and the Parasite from that free game with aliens that everyone’s forgotten about. You know, that one. With the four players. Not Left 4 Dead, that was zombies… Oh never mind. But these days, we have a HUGE range of animals to follow us around.

TF2 Artsyle: The Good, The Hat and The Ugly

February 1, 2014 Irbynx 1 Comment analysis, cosmetics, criticism, hat

TF2 has it’s own cartoony and contrasting artsyle, and everyone knows that. In the last years the art direction of TF2 has changed a lot, with the simplicity of early hats being replaced with all the different items, hats, boots and things like that. The robots arrived and then the world behind our beloved/hated pyromaniac’s eyes was revealed… The people agree that TF2 has become basically a clustertruck of hats nowadays. Is it good or bad?

“WHAT? IS CP_FREIGHT BEING REMOVED?” No. Calm down. I’m talking about the fifth or sixth version of itsurblog that finally bit the dust a while back. You know, that thread where we talked about anything BUT Team Fortress 2. Oh and a bit of Team Fortress 2.

How to be an Average Medic

January 30, 2014 Medic 0 Comments class, guide, medic

Let me be honest, I’m not the best Medic in the world. Nor am I of high level competitive standards. My level of skill is average, UGC Cardboard if you will. But nonetheless, since I’m an average Medic, that means that 50% of all other Medics are better than me, and the other 50% aren’t as good as me. There’s some room for improvement, not just from me, but from that other 50% as well. In today’s article, I’m going to give you some tips on how to be an average Medic. I won’t be going into huge detail, as… [Continue Reading]

Parts of official maps you can blow up

January 29, 2014 aabicus 0 Comments fun, maps, TFC

Did you know that in TFC the demoman could drop a detpack which blew up specific parts of official maps, opening up new pathways for teammates? TF2 doesn’t have anything destroyable with that much influence on the game flow, but there are surprising number of things in official maps that don’t take well to damage. Luckily, this being TF2, most of them do indeed blow up.

Headshot-Avoiding Unusuals

January 28, 2014 Medic 1 Comment cosmetics, trading

Alright, so you’ve bought yourself a fancy unusual. Or maybe you unboxed it. Good for you. Well done. But do you realise that you are now 99% more visible to the enemy team? No, I’m not referring to the bug where the Disco Beat Down effect could be seen through thin walls. I’m talking about the fact that you have a large glowing sign that says “Shoot me!” on your head. Maybe we ought to avoid this. Here’s my list of Headshot-avoiding unusuals.

The Non-Soldier Trolldier

January 27, 2014 DapperApples 0 Comments demoman, loadout, strategy

Did you know that Demoman has a neat axe melee weapon? No, not the Halloween one. It’s great and all, but I’m talking about a different one. You know, that one that’s under that pile of dust in the corner of your backpack, next to that Sun-on-a-Stick. Yeah, the Scotsman’s Skullcutter, and I’m here to show you one of the best ways to actually use this weapon: pair it with the sticky jumper.
