Hi. I posted this Sonic Heroes TF2 crossover fan list yesterday. I've improved it since then.

Scout, Heavy and Medic make up Team Sonic. Scout moves fast like Sonic. Heavy's great strength makes him a match for Knuckles. Much like Tails, Medic likes to support his friends.

"Awh, that freakin' egghead tricked us!" - Scout when he falls for one of Eggman's traps
"Keep hiding inside robot, coward!" - Heavy when he sees Eggman
" The best medicine!" - Medic after killing many of Eggman's robots

Sniper, Spy and Engineer would make up Team Chaotix. If you underestimate either of these odd bunches, you'll end up on the floor before you can reconsider. Spy uses stealth tactics like Espio. Sniper is like Vector, he's mellow and reliable. Engineer is Charmy, people wave him away as useless, only to get stung.
"Blood, I can clean out of my suit, but this?" - Spy in swamp levels
"Take a picture of ya head Eggman! It'll last longer than the actual one." - Sniper at first boss fight
"I'm no expert, but this thing might fly!... Actually, I am an expert. It can fly." - Engineer at the flower in Frog Forest

Demoman, Soldier and Pyro would be Team Dark. They are all destructive classes, who inflict grievous damage on anyone who gets in their way. Soldier is like Shadow because he moves quickly, and can destroy enemies in the blink of an eye. Demoman is like E-123 Omega, he views his enemies as obstacles instead of actual people. He kills them without forethought or remorse, fueled by his consumption of alcohol. Pyro is like Rouge (NOT because he's a girl) because he's a specialist, who prefers to use other techniques than fighting people upfront.
"Soon as I blow that Eggman to pieces, I'm done with you two lassies." - Demoman to his teammates upon starting the first level
"Oh yeah! This airspace belongs to America!" - Soldier when him and his team fly through bonus rings
"Mmmph!" - Pyro

So that's it guys. Please let me know what you think. Improvements maybe?

ded

strange, the thread is less active than it usually is during these times on a normal week
i guess a decent amount of /tf2g/s are out on vacation then?

>the only people left are hat fags

KEK

tf2 is a dead game

I'm here and I'm playing tf2 right now.

Killing people with fish is fun.

this hasn't been repeated for years
saying it over and over again doesn't make it any more true

post your tryhard face

...

>Painting your Bill's TS or any other oversaturated color

got it that way, without extra pay

Steel is the most unfun map and the last point being open right at the start is retarded

I find it fun

When you learn the map steel is awesome

What the fuck is a vacation for NEETs?

It's no use if half the team also has no idea where to go

i learned steel ages ago and it is still as unfun as it was before i learned it
especially if youre attack and your team is retarded

How do I work my way up to high level trading?
Like where do I start, I'm not going to start from nothing and I am willing to invest a decent sum of money into getting started.

MMMM, DELICIOUS. HAHAHA!

>want to love this game

iktf

If would agree if the community played the actual maps and not custom garbage or dustbowl 24/7

When that enemy engineer keeps moving his lv 3 into your entire team and NO ONE SHOOTS IT and youre stuck in a class that cant

so you have to slowly watch this stupid fuckers lv 3 build in front of 10 people and the point and then it kills everyone next to the engis afk corpse. AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>valve pubs were the most fun part of TF2

Meh I still like killing people in this game and , I think you like the idea of tf2 more than tf2 and just want to complain

literally play anything but casual
even valve comp is more fun

>tfw consider not maining Heavy anymore because I have been getting nothing but backstabbed and sniped for the last week
>play one game of powerhouse
>jump onto the last point alone, destroy a level two sentry, two engineers, a soldier, his medic and a huntsman sniper
>cap the point the whole way on 31 hp, killing two scouts who come in afterwards to try and save it

Ah, that's why I main Heavy

>i mean heavy because it's good at killing f2ps
>i can't deal with players who actually have more than 10h in the game
literal retard

Neither of those sentences are in the post you quoted

>"Hey, heres a fun experience I had in a pub which rekindled my faith in how much I enjoy the game and the class I play!"
>"Wow fag why are you not playing comp 24/7 how dare you even consider reminding me that pubs exist you cumsock!"

Pure autism

What are hats that are in demand/popular? I'm looking to start unusual trading and I'm looking for what to start with.

team captain

>mfw moba que

I just came back from not playing in almost a year and I have to ask. Why does the Team Fortress Team keep shitting on every fun weapon? I literally don't understand why they fuck any weapon with a slightly interesting gimmick or use into an unusable downgrade from stock.

>Babyface Blaster let you do fucking laps around Nucleus as well as super far jumps giving people a reason to use something other than stock for a change
>nerfed back to garbage shit-tier, getting splashed by a stray sticky takes all of the boost away

>Sodapoper gives scouts damage burst if they know when to whip it out and let loose the charge
>change it so that it allows you 5 jumps instead
>uh-oh! thats TOO fun gotta make it so the jump charge only builds when you do DAMAGE, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE GUNS WHOLE SHTICK IS THAT MOMENT SHAKES THE SODA ATTACHED TO IT

>Shortstop is a literal downgrade in almost every conceivable way

>Pocket Pistol loses its +25 hp in exchange for a horrible hp on hit effect as well as the no fall damage ONLY working when your have the stupid thing out.

>Natascha and Brass Beast give damage reduction when reved up so that the weaker bullets/complete immobility are not as much of a crippling
>nope, gotta nerf it so that the damage reduction only initiates when the Heavy is at sub 30% pretty much making it so that can only take maybe one more hit then he would of if he was using default

>Loch 'n Load is an even bigger downgrade now despite the fact that it always was a downgrade due to how it cant roll pills.

>Vaccinator lost its only perk because it cant block crits now

>Rocket Jumper and Sticky Jumper now look ugly as fuck and clip with the reload animations

>All those legitimately shit weapons like cowmangler are still the exact same, no reworks to make them good

also what the fuck happened to quick play?

So should I only look for Gen 1 effects on it?

>Shortstop is a literal downgrade in almost every conceivable way

Tell me what that four shot, pistol ammo leaching piece of shit has over stock.

but it is
it sucks
it doesnt even pair at all with the tging it came as a set

>pistol ammo leaching
They changed that
Also range, shot speed, destroys sentries better than the pistol or stock, has an airblast now

The list goes on

>>All those legitimately shit weapons like cowmangler are still the exact same, no reworks to make them good
the cow manglers reload speed is the same as stock now

learn to track baddie

it's a lot better with the pistol actually
who needs life regen when you can just kill

>airblast
The fuck? Why not just use Force of Nature? Why are they giving it something a better gun already has?

have you not seen what happens when someone with autism gets onto a vaccinator?

it becomes the most broken weapon in the fucking game, changing resistances to the right defence 3 times a fucking second between attacks, which you can do when you change the binds instead of using R.

That shit needs to be nerfed into the fucking ground (or at least given a global cooldown on defence change to stop to ridicoulous benefit to scripters)

>The list goes on
lmao the list stops there

>no burst
>4 shots vs 6
>die to every 1v1 ever because of your pathetic damage
>be only slightly mediocre at range

>who needs life regen
it was the only option for scout to be a lone wolf and get health from other than medics and healthpacks, and they remove it

and you think thats justified?

>the cow manglers reload speed is the same as stock now
Still doesn't change the fact that a level 1 sentry will practically neuter the poor sap that decides to use it

>learn to track baddie
lmao, why not just use stock then? You'll have two extra shots so you can do something besides killing spys and snipers from behind.

If you can track with it then its a straight upgrade

nigger you dont need life regen to fucking lone wolf, just go back and get a medpack youre the fastest class in the game, just go get a fucking medpack

if you cant play a class without muh regen go back to crutchbox soldier

well if you were able to track you'd now that the shorstop absolutely destroys heavier classes like soldier or demoman

then thats your disagreement with a game mechanic
every class has a self heal tool if you didnt notice, but removing scout's is alright because hes fast is ok

You can always use the mad milk you know

and that is something that the stock scattergun already cant do?
Like I said, its a literal downgrade from stock.

>every class has a self heal tool if you didnt notice,

which was supposed to be paired with the shortstop you know

Reading these threads really tells me how clueless pubbers are. Thank God valve doesn't listen to any of you. Don't reply I probably pub more than you anyways

youre here arguing whether a gun is good or fun, you dont need crutchgen to have fun

also go on then, tell me what demos regen mechanic is, and heads and zatoichi dont count, thats not regen

You know the shortstop is FUN, right?
You guys ever have FUN?

>what are pyro, demo, sniper and spy

like i already said
no it's not, you're just bad

you have to use a set or youre not hAvInG fUn GuYs

>heavy will never have a fun minigun
>he will always be stuck with fucking stock
>engineer will never have diffirent buildables
Fuck valve, honestly

>zatoichi isnt health regen
>the fact that it gives you 100 health for killing someone doesnt count at all

>what is airblast, zatoichi, camper, kunai

never even mentioned that in my post

>he seriously thinks the shortstop is better than stock
>yet he still cant describe how
well, at least I know im talking with a retard

Shortstop is fun as fuck and we'll balanced. The shove is useless though. All of you are bent on making every weapon viable which would be hard as fuck for valve. We need to focus on fixing the broken weapons first.

Airblasting burning teammates, Cozy Camper, and Kunai.

#IStandWithShortstop

i had so much fun in the 20% spin up defence era, heavy could finally be tanky with a brass/nastacha, dhakloks, iron fists loadout

but of course CoD kiddie snipers complained they couldnt oneshot anymore, so it got nerfed just like the Darwin

fuck shortstop tb᠎h

If you have perfect aim it's theoretically better than stock. You can do 280 damage in less than two seconds from further than a meatshot. The way it reloads can fuck you over though.

thats heal on kill not regen you fucking retard

regen implies a slow trickle or hp, not a straight up heal

>not mentioned oh so your retard counter counter arguments dont count? were supposed to go back to the main article every time you realise shit is coursing out of your mouth?

>Finally get to use my strange Natasha without it feeling like a piece of shit
>finally get to use dhakloks, munching on it 24/7 for extra HP, cucking pyros out of afterburn killing me
Its killing me inside knowing that I'll never be able to enjoy that time again

>he gets this buttblasted by an anonymous opinion about a weapon in a videogame

all of these a arguably even shittier that the madmilk

you said it was a literal downgrade and i said it's not

Thats just silly, I guess its good to know if you want to be an aimbotting scout though.

>diffirent buildables
instead of teleporters you can build speed boost pads

instead of a sentry gun you can build a stationary gun that anyone can fire

instead of a dispenser you can build a respawn chamber

Exactly, I was watching b4nny use it and he couldn't be effective with it. Have you ever run into a hacker with Shortstop? I've seen quite few.

>shitter engineers cant fucking hit anything even with aim assisted wranglers
>implying letting others would be more useful

Shove is there to treat DR-Spy and bait him onto drop disguise infront of Sentry.

It's not about CoD kiddies imo. That 20% damage resistance was making all other Sniper rifles but Machina obsolete.

As a strawman, I wouldn't say it's better but tighter spread makes it good enough.

wtf am I reading... Here's a (You).

>small short-range tesla-coil like building that can target multiple enemies behind walls
>different buildings that give a bonus around an area like damage boost/heal on hit/speed boost to allies
>launch pads that launch you forward when you jump on them

the possibilities are endless

these have all been tested by valve before when it was in beta way back when, when it was trying to be a quake/old call of duty style teamgame. They removed spawners and autoheal buildings cause they made engi an afk class, the mounted gun thats commonplace in army style warfare was gone when they went 1950's town architecture. It all makes sense balance wise, like why they removed grenades, If you think soldier poke is bad now imagine every class having a spammable grenade

Most hackers like to be Heavy but I have no idea why.

with hacked in crits and aim spread remover you have 500 dps long range sniper laser beams

do you have a link to this information? I like this behind the scenes stuff.
