trannies are gross

cute boys are cool

trannies are uninteresting

cute boys are cool

trannies are cute boys

Does anyone have a Medic Mask or a Spy Mask that they're trading?

overwatch

it's hard to get this game for under $40, I'm hoping prices will drop once it's released in 4 days

i hope it stays for 40$ and never go f2p because then it will be balanced around casual players like tf2

demo mains are HOT and they turn me ON

overwatch has good mm, it doesn't matter how many shitters play it

true, I would get it if it was on sale, by then there'd be more balance changes and content too

This is what happened.

pyro mains are hot

spy mains are hotter

remember to F L I C K

post yfw you smite

...

could the time that it took for the kill to register and the speed you moved your scope be used to exactly calculate your ping?

nope, hitreg is too fickle to do that
I can tell you my ping was around 30

...

>20hz client tickrate
>66hz server tickrate
This should be reversed. Prove me wrong.

...

i hate not being consistently good at sniper so much
i always need some time to like warm up before getting shits so at first i try to go for cool quickscopes or flickshots or anything at all and miss every time and end up looking so retarded and it's humiliating so i give up and switch to scout
i feel like i will never get good at clicking heads with consistency

i don't know what any of those are so i'll disagree

I used to hate hitting every headshot, then not playing for 2 days and being rubbish.

then I stopped playing sniper for good and now I'm happy

>miss consistently
>get 5 headshots in a row
>start shitting again
>miss a revved up heavy and enemy sniper
>hit a flying soldier and midair scout

Fucking sniper, how does it work?

Client sends information about what it's doing to the server 20 times per second.
Server sends information to the client about what every other client is doing (and what the client's projectiles are doing) 66 times per second.
This way the server won't very often know what the clients are up to, but will send what little information it has very frequently to the other clients and will use prediction methods to tell them that the others are "probably around here". This can lead to a lot of errors in hitbox placement leading to you being shot after running behind a wall or explosives hitting you from a ridiculous range. In extreme cases your bullets will hit an opponent's model and do very little or no damage because the server doesn't recognize the hitbox as actually being in this position due to TF2's prediction methods quite literally separating the hitbox from the model and then rolling everything back several milliseconds before displaying it to you.
If the tickrates are reversed, the server won't tell you what the other clients are doing as often, but it will have much more information to send you each time it does. This leads to significantly better hit detection but will occasionally lead to players killing eachother on the same "tick" a la BF3/4.

this
the other day i was on hightower and couldnt get a single fucking headshot
then i got one on a flying soldier
he didn't die
i didn't get any other headshots

set your sens so it matches that of ALL your classes
Doesn't matter if you're gonna be a shit heavy or a shit spy, set it the same with ALL CLASSES
Zoom sens no lower than 0.88

There, you now have the potential to click on heads consistently
As long as you keep your cm/360 the same you can even switch screens, your muscle memory will set in nice and cozy and you'll get all the flick shots and all the flying headshots you want and need

Takes time tho

why the fuck is this shit player with like 10.000 hours played giving advice?

Because I used to be a good sniper, I swear

Compensate for the slightly behind of head, neck level. Hitbox may move and fall behind their model regarding their movement direction and speed. But generally neck area is a safe bet.
Remove crosshair on zoom, aim at neck level but always remember to compensate for your movement and their movement.
Bullets are dead accurate and fast, but still when laws of relative speed kicks in you'll realize you have to aim with sides of your midpoint when strafing.
Even more effort required if you have height difference going and they're on the move.
Standing on ramps or sloped surfaces may effect your accuracy badly.
Crouch and use small cracks or stair frames to peek at some long pathways or hilltops to choke with gunfire.
Also crouching momentarily may help you evade Spy's revolver shots to get closer and corner him for a good ole' chop'.

but i have the same sens on every class

zoom sens ratio?

>Remove crosshair on zoom
how does this help? i always had it enabled

i don't think it's different than when not zoomed
is that bad

It's actually my personal preference. Crosshair middle point and scope middle point does not match, if you look closer. Last time I checked scope middle point (where bullet actually hits) was very slightly below of the crosshair mid point. If you picked something wide that doesn't cover the middle point as a crosshair, I think that works too, but I like being able to see it pinpoint.

What? really?

I had a dream where I played TF2 with some random /tf2g/s I've never talked to. We were on a map I didn't know, though. What does it mean?

>play demo for a change
>good at landing pipes
>shit at stickies

last night i had a gay dream
i don't remember what it was about but i remember it was gay
i have tf2 dreams often too

It mean you have autism.

i had a dream about something that made me really mad even though i had a pretty good day yesterday

it made me so mad i don't even remember what it was about

Why are you so mean, Freddy?

the soldier should have called you out and the medic should have ubered by then

You mean Frazier?

No, I mean that Italian guy with poor grammar.

Electric Escorter or Waxy Wayfinder?

what the fuck do people want to accomplish doing this shit
i hate it so much

they want to show you that you can't buy skill

t. one of these people

Who cares? It's just a video game.

>gibus pyrovision soldier
>gibus pyrovision medic
>steamrolling 'till spawn

if it's just a video game why do you hate it so much?

it's not like I'm putting any effort in by not wearing cosmetics

How do I get better at heavy

Are there good videos on this that aren't le funnay meems

I'm not the guy you originally replied to. There's just no point in playing like that, because on Valve servers, no one has any skill.

heavy is for the most hardcorest gamers of tf2 sorry bro....

rydercycles alright

tracking
positioning
have pretty shiny hats so medics pocket you

that's about it

you only need gamesense and nothing else
t.someone with 8 hours on heavy

Tracking is just dragging the mouse around to the bad dude right

Yes.

...

This is both funny and informative

how do i unlock these weapon attachments

oh,,

unlock THIS

You need to pay for ROFLsquare premium.

*unlocks benis*

Broken loadouts are broken.

Get the jump on people.
You are the opposite of a demoman, only engage in 1v1, 2v1 max if they are distracted or at low hp.
Best position would be just around a corner but after that there's only open field, so they don't have corners to run behind.
