I don't try to impress people on the internet, I just don't like being seen as an asshole.
Which means that you do. You give a shit. You give a shit how others see you. And let me tell you a secret: swearing at people because they gave you an imaginary criticism? That does make you seem like an asshole.
Shut the fuck up, seriously. You've spent like 10 posts whining and bitching because someone negged you; the irony being that doing so makes everyone neg you even more.
Grow up or get the fuck out. Everyone is sick of your shit, and frankly I'd be happy if you got cancer.
I neg hit your post first about your supposed good round as a demo man. Not because I hate you, and not because I give a fuck that it makes you sad. It was a boring post. I didn't want to read all about what all of us have done countless times anyway, especially the fact that someone can kick ass with demo. There is no class that a person can't own with, I've seen a team of entirely medics shutout on Dustbowl. The point of the thread seems to me to be about talking about everything current with Team Fortress 2, not telling everyone how much ass you think you kicked with a particular class, the one in question being a particularly easy class to use in my own experience (unlike, say, the scout for me. I suck as a scout. Terribly...) there for I saw it as a noob comment, to which I responded with a neg mod (in particular, -1 Noob). Tell us something interesting that happened, like a single spy getting the payload to the end of Hoodoo alone, or better yet, get a sick vid of it.
I don't hate you, and I don't care if being neg modded bothers you. Shit happens. Post cool stuff and I'll mod you up, post things I don't care about and I'll leave it alone, post things I hate and I'll neg. You can't please everybody, but I'm not exactly Frank Zappa in my particularness for content.
Seriously, what's the point of a game unless you can set things on fire, blow shit up, and place ANNOYING FUCKING SENTRY GUNS ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!!
Seriously, anyone else think there needs to be less anti-spy weapons and more anti-engie weapons? Or at least make the uber take less time to charge.... I mean come on, just cause I can't pull off the stab n sap on a lvl 3 sentry does not mean my team should have to suffer!
That's what everyone says. But that's always in the case where the engie is alone. If he has teammates anywhere near him they'll murder you while you're trying to set up the angle right.
Let's see, a Sniper, Heavy+Medic, Soldier, Spy, Spy+Pyro, Demoman can all take down Sentries and their Engineers. Yes we definitely need more against the poor engie.
sniper- only against idiot engie who puts sentries out in the open, heavy medic only with uber, soldier usually needs a clean shot, and if engie tanks it wont work, spy yes, pyro needs uber or the sentry in mid sap, and demo needs a good angle too.
I feel like the game is pretty balanced as is. Honestly, some classes are a little more fiddly to use or get used to, but every class seems to be able to hold it's own when it's doing it's job right.
In reply to Surutar, #1790: Spy + Pyro... I always forget about this one. None of the pyro's I end up with are willing to help, most of em are too panzy to go in without a medic or just W+M1 spycheck all over the place instead.
I've tried it. Either my soldier sucked, or it doesn't work.
Spy + Pyro is very hard to organize. Damn pyros never listen. Or they go in before I sap it.
Badwater Basin, red sentry far back in little bunker by the first capture point. Fucking impossible to take out.
But my point is that if there's ANY enemies in the area, all these strategies fail. My favorite is pyro standing by tanking engie spraying fire everywhere which deters any spies, and airblasts away sticky bombs.
and what I am saying is that they work, they aren't going to be the only players, there is going to be others. and hell, if there is other enemies, KILL THEM.
Soldier + Medic works. i have used it countless times.
You have had bad memories of sentries, that is why you are afraid of them. Me, i have no fear of sentries has i have yet to see a sentry that hasn't been taken down eventually.
Heck a pyro can take a L3 SG if it is near a corner. He can just flank around it. I've done it numerous times. Much like that badwater basin position you talked about. Demo can do it even easier. Heck he could do it with pipes most of the time without having to try and use stickies.
That SG spot is in a corner. A pyro can sometimes strafe around the SG there. Depending on who or what else is in there, its rather trivial to take out. As for the demo. Just abuse LoS and lob some stickies or pipes in there. That will always be the engie's biggest weakness. Heck, a heavy could probably just jump down from above and be able to take it out. At that range, the damage trail off and bullet spread is negligible and the heavy can really mow an SG down.
