A Battle of Healers: Medic VS Gorge

Medic 0 Comments , ,

Quite often in a class-based game, Healers and Engineers are lumped in together and you’ll have the same person doing a couple of similar jobs. In that aspect, our Medic a bit of an odd one, as we have a whole other class, the Engineer, to do that. There’s a bit of an overlap between the two of them, as in they both heal, but Medics almost exclusively heal. This does make it tricky when it comes to these battles. Anyway, today’s enemy is a monster, literally, who acts as a defensive healing utility thingy who can heal both ‘buildings’… [Continue Reading]

A Battle of Healers: Medic VS Sona

Medic 0 Comments , ,

The Medic of the Team Fortress 2 world is wildly unique, somehow bringing together entire teams to the point that you can’t win if you don’t have one and the enemy has. So what happens when you compare our Medic with the healers from other games (and universes)? Who knows, since we don’t have inter-universal technology yet. Last time, Medic got his ass kicked by the TFC Medic, but this time, things may turn out differently. Of course, there are difficulties in comparing Healers from wildly different games, so we end up comparing based on mechanics and team work. Today’s… [Continue Reading]

A Battle of Healers – The TF2 Medic VS The TFC Medic

Medic 0 Comments , , ,

Let us be frank here: The Medic we all love dearly is hugely different from the healing class in many, many other games. There are few places where the most important person on your team is the person healing you and your team and keeping everyone alive by making health bars go up instead of go down. So I decided to have a think about this. How would our Medic do fighting against other healers? Before we begin, a clarification. The Team Fortress 2 Medic was designed with teamwork in mind. He’s almost helpless on his own. That being said,… [Continue Reading]

SPUF Server Going Away Party

John Caveson 0 Comments , ,

As some of you may know, the SPUFserver is shutting down in a week. And so, I’ll be hosting a go-away party so the server will have one last hurrah before dying off 4ever. This is not a formal event. There will be no custom maps, no special plugins, just plain old vanilla TF2*. The goal is to keep the server as full as we can for as long as we can. Because this is no ordinary event, I plan on having it all day. Which means, I (or some other mod/admin) will be pumping out event notifications periodically throughout… [Continue Reading]

Helpful things you probably already know about SPUF

Medic 1 Comment , ,

You’d think that, being someone with over 10000 posts on SPUF, people like me and aabicus would know all the ins and outs of a forum like SPUF. Except we don’t. For ages, we didn’t know how you find out who gave you rep and stuff like that. So here are some lovely little tips for you so you don’t get as confused as us. Editing the title of your thread What’s that? Made a typo in the title of your thread? Tried editing it in the Edit Post section but it didn’t work? There’s a solution! Yes, seriously. Turns… [Continue Reading]

Playable 8-Bit Team Fortress 2!

aabicus 0 Comments ,

If Team Fortress Classic isn’t retro enough for you, you need to try out Gang Garrison 2! Taking the other approach to being an old-fashioned TF2, GG2 takes the core concepts of our favorite team-based shooter and renders it in lovable 8-Bit form. All nine classes are present and playable, as are a number of the maps you’ve played and love. Rather tongue-in-cheekly, most of the names in TF2 have been changed to alternates, so you play it on Smoke sponsored by Faucet Studios, and your class choices include Firebug, Healer, and Constructor. The aiming style takes a bit of… [Continue Reading]

“Medic takes Bionicle characters and puts them in the roles of TF2 mercenaries”

Medic 0 Comments ,

On the request of a single person, I’m writing this article. For those of you who don’t know, Bionicle was a LEGO franchise that started in 2001 and ended in 2010. The story started off with a bunch of mechanical heroes called Toa, protecting small, child-sized robots called Matoran on an island paradise from all sorts of evil or misguided nasties and evolved into one of the strangest stories around. Enemies include mind-controlled animals, the just-doing-their-job Bohrok and the terrifying, somehow snake-like Rahkshi. Spoiler, the good guys win. For more information, Biosector01 has pretty much everything in it. What if… [Continue Reading]

Medic Tries To Explain Things…

Medic 0 Comments

There’s a lot of unexplained stuff in Team Fortress 2, a lot of which probably never will be explained. There’s also a lot of stuff that wasn’t explained and then was explained years later, or stuff that we thought we knew then turned out we didn’t know. The list of things that we don’t have an explanation for could fill hundreds of articles and the great thing is, you can make up your own explanations!… Wait, I think I’m on to something… So now we have Medic Tries To Explain Things! A quick note, none of this is official. Number… [Continue Reading]

Game of TF2hrones

BiteTheBullet 0 Comments

NOTE: Although there are no book spoilers in this post, caveat lector, because I will assume you’ve seen season 1 to 3. This Sunday (Or Monday for all my European friends, including me) the Greatest Show on Earth started its fourth season. And let me tell you, we’re in for a treat this time. Which got me wondering, what if this got paired with the Greatest Game on Earth? What would TF2 look like in a medieval setting- oh, wait. Which lead to another important question: what Game of Thrones characters represent our favorite team mercs the best? I came… [Continue Reading]
