Why I love Sniper

February 17, 2015 Odoroki 0 Comments a week of Love and Hate, hate, love, sniper

Sniper is an awesome class to play. Even though he often gets derided on SPUF, he’s a really fun class to play. 1. He’s unique in terms of playstyle I see why this can be controversial, but he’s different from the others, where he’s likely to be a loner rather than try to get in everyone’s face. He knows the concept of personal space and prefers to work his magic from afar. He’s the only class to me where accuracy often depends on what rifle I’m using. His headshot mechanic used to be his bread and butter until the Spy stole… [Continue Reading]

The Sword is lovelier than the Sandvich

February 17, 2015 Poptart 0 Comments a week of Love and Hate, demoknight, hate, heavy, love

So a German told people to write articles about what classes they love and hate in honor of valentine’s day. I think many SPUF regulars should already know what my favorite “class” is, and the strangest part is it’s not even its own class. The Demoknight is my current favorite class in TF2, or at least was before it was over nerfed into oblivion. Anyway Demoknight is more than strapping on any old shield, and to be honest I don’t even consider the Charge ‘n’ Targe actual Demoknight, mainly because while the Tide Turner encouraged getting in for awesome sword… [Continue Reading]

Why Scout is Awful and Underpowered

February 17, 2015 aabicus 0 Comments a week of Love and Hate, analysis, comparison, criticism, hate, love, scout, TFC

I don’t dislike any of the classes in TF2. You’d think Engineer, but honestly as a Demoman/Medic main, it’s my job to destroy their nests, and without them I’d have significantly less to do at any given moment. Sniper likewise I’ve never really cared about because I can always seem to find routes that let me avoid them. Not to mention that my favorite weapon, the Sticky Jumper, turns them into my favorite prey. So this article is kinda tough for me to write, because I don’t really hate anyone in TFC either. Pyro, maybe, but he’s too pitiful to… [Continue Reading]

Why Battle Medic is my favorite class

February 16, 2015 aabicus 0 Comments a week of Love and Hate, hate, love, medic, TFC

Today Medic announced a fun initiative for anyone who’d like to write two themed articles; one on which class is their favorite and one on their least favorite. And I would be remiss not to bring up the class I find more fun to play than all nine from TF2. The Combat Medic from TFC has an unparalleled mix of mobility, firepower, and health regeneration that makes him truly unlike any other class from either game. As this old article goes into detail on, his primary job is to send himself flying through the air with conc grenades deep into… [Continue Reading]

Why I hate Engineers

February 16, 2015 sham1 0 Comments a week of Love and Hate, criticism, engineer, hate, love, scout

Ok, this might come off as me being an salty Scout main, but I really hate Engineer as class. And here’s why: 1. So easy to stack As I watch into the last point of Granary where there are 5 sentries just on the left of me, I start pondering “is this really balanced” and then proceed to back up so I don’t have to encounter this amount of stacking. Now I have no problem with Engineer countering me (in fact I like it when classes can be countered by another class and also itself especially if the countering body… [Continue Reading]

How I came to hate myself…

February 15, 2015 Medic 0 Comments a week of Love and Hate, criticism, hate, love, medic

I wasn’t born a Medic main. It took months of me being useless to finally pick up that Medi Gun. But once I did, I was hooked. It was like a drug. Every site I registered on, I called myself a variant of Medic. The best one was the Steam User Forums. I became The Medic, that whiny, somewhat likable moron you all know and love today. But I tell you what, I fucking hate myself. I’m going to be blunt. Being called Medic is probably one of the biggest mistakes I could have made. You have no idea how… [Continue Reading]

Why I Love Demo

February 15, 2015 TheOnlyGuyEver 0 Comments a week of Love and Hate, demoman, hate, love

It’s February, the month of Valentine’s Day, so I’m gonna ramble on about the class that I love the most: The Demoman. I freakin’ love the Demo. So much. With a fiery, burning passion, that consumes my soul. I don’t play Demo because he puts out a massive amount of damage if used right, I play Demo because it’s a fun and unique experience. The high damage output is more of a product from effectively playing Demo. Not counting his melees, Demo is all projectile and no hitscan, so for the most part, you have to develop timing and tracking to play… [Continue Reading]

Why Heavy is my favorite class

February 14, 2015 Foxzet 0 Comments a week of Love and Hate, awesome, hate, heavy, love

When it comes to favorite classes, most people usually say someone like Soldier, or Demoman, or Scout. Nearly every single class has someone who thinks it’s their favorite: People love Medic, Spy, Pyro, and even Engineer and Sniper. But nobody seems to love the Heavy. That is, except from me. I LOVE the Heavy. When it comes to classes in this game, I usually have phases where I play some classes for a long time, but then later don’t play them all that often until I get back to them eventually. But not Heavy: I could always pick him every… [Continue Reading]

Why I hate fighting against Scouts

February 14, 2015 Foxzet 0 Comments a week of Love and Hate, hate, love, scout

Usually, when people talk about a class that is their least favorite or that they hate, it’s commonly one of their top 3 least played classes. While that holds true for Sniper, who is my 3rd least played class, The others in my bottom 3 are Engineer and Medic, who I actually don’t dislike that much: Engineer because for the longest time the servers I went on didn’t allow him to be played, and Medic because his effectiveness is solely dependent on your teammates’ competence. So, it may be a bit of a surprise that my second least favorite class… [Continue Reading]
