Crossbow his QF medic from a distance and jump around like an idiot.
Surf his rockets to get behind walls and pick up medkits.
Once his QF medic is down you bait them, get the highground, jump to his Vacc medic and melee his ass.

Then the soldier is all yours in a fair 1v1 you can win easily.

holy mackerel is a direct upgrade

Oppertunity cost of other Melees

region ban all namefags

I mean if you're comparing it to stock it's a direct upgrade
there's definitely better melees

>crossbow the medic

you act like youre a medic healing a competent teammate here not the only person not just running scared when they appear

You want to know an actual direct upgrade?
The direct hit, because it has direct in it's name teehee.

Actually, it's not far from the truth,
if you actually know how to aim with this thing.

I just can't get used to the faster projectile speed

spamming is an essential function of soldier and you completely give that up with the DH
DH is good against unorganized teams but it sucks at locking down chokepoints etc

>crit a group of enemies
>only 1 kill
it's still extremely good in the hands of a skilled gamer, especially since airshots are easier and more rewarded
too bad direct hit has no reskins while bad box has two

Just got this on Wednesday. You get used to it, I'm able to land airshots pretty reasonably.
I just forget sometimes that your splash damage is near non existent.

True. As a stock user, the direct hit is so alien to me because of the lack of splash.

I mostly use it to give the enemy Engies a bad time.

Very underrated weapon in terms of reskins. Hopefully we'll get lucky this year's smissmas something.

It'll fit my soldier's smissmas hood.

Nice trips. I don't much care for it unless I'm trying to waste some sentries.
I haven't practiced enough to make the chancy launch and airshot mechanic reliable enough so whenever I do attempt that I'm down two rockets.

this would've been a good post but you felt the need to attach your identity to it in the last line
why it's not even relevant

I usually pair it with the backup for the ultimate sentry killing loadout. Pretty good so far, I'll admit.
Attentionwhore, remember?

Fully stock spy is fun

pyro tiddy

What is the best Engie primary and why is it
Frontier justice.

Frontier justice is a direct upgrade

>join skial server
>porn sprays everywhere
Its just as I remember it

I miss those days.

>tfw you tell some kid who keeps killing you on a shitty no grav minecraft server to mge you.
>Beat him twice and he cries blaming lag even though he has 5 ping.

I can't have fun anymore.

Its a nice change of pace because all other community servers were gimmicks and any skial server I found was either dead or full, but then again this is a turbine game.

>it's just a casual bro xD why so try hard :D
people like this ruin casual

That fucking faggot never played the objective and still ended up with the lowest score on the server. Needless to say we lost.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, casual mm has delivered the worst experiences I've ever had in TF2.

threadly reminder
also anyone want to expand on it

hey guys i just did training am i ready for comp now?

I tried to piece together what was left from the last thread. Not my fault, its the previous faggot who lost them all

does it say competitive training you double nigger

fuck off keli

yes. you are the chosen one who will defeat bunny 4

who is bobby for?

the meanest man in the badlands

I miss 24/7 Gold Rush sometimes

The baddest fragger whibrver fragged.

The tiptop bhop champ boyo

thanks :)

Has anyone tried the VR mode yet? Is it reliable enough to do with a PSVR through Trinus?

SHIT did they make heavy's spun-up minigun ugly or what? who wants his hand to completely cover the gun?
c-model bullshit...

And a ching chong nip nog to you too

Don't worry bro, you'll get there one day.
Crossbow is also very good for battlemedic, due to it's burst damage and long range.
It is also very good as it lets you have freedom of position without compromising your ability to heal everyone.

It's all tools in your toolbox, you master one, then move on.
Once you master them all, you will truly see that you can adapt to any situation, and frag every scrub until they call hacks.

If it's any help, think of every needle as a tiny RR projectile. You'll get a feel for the difference after a while.
I've considered making a video on how to aim it but I feel like it would get 10 views from people and only 2 of them would actually use the info.

Who?

literally who

no actually who the fuck

Been ITT since 2012 and I dont know this guy t bh

This shit still not released

they're still optimising the particles

you arent very observant, let me tell ya

I think it's because of FoV you are using in casual.

Some hints on needle accuracy,;
>strafe at the same direction as the foe you engaged at the close to mid range
>while doing so also steer your mouse at the same direction as well, you'll draw an outer circle
>you'll see your needle projectiles will draw a horizontal arc as they get a slight bulletfall at the same time
>once you successfully led the initial shot start tracking his "path" and give some prediction
>if they're advancing on you from one side just circle strafe to the opposite direction
>diagonally backpedal to evade them when it failed
You may wanna work on your rocket surfs; run to Soldier's left if close, run to their right if mid-range.
Packing Overdose may help on surf, makes it easier to crouch-evade from hitscans and b-hop without a patient.
Also a good idea to have a grasp on how to position when pocketing, so you won't be an easy prey.

how to spot a fucking idiot 101

Just let that dream die.
Valve already has.

I haven't played TF2 in years

is it true that I will get massive drops due to not playing for so long

I sure do love combign through 100+ servers for that one server that isnt 100% crits low-grav insant respawn infinite ammo 10x randomizer

Yes, absolutely

I sometimes wonder why valve just gave up.

I actually really liked the laser items, it fit with the artstyle and was unique.

If the who gets to add himself in, I get to make my entry more factual

My favorite weapon is the Kritzkrieg

Add vibri

I don't get why Viva even thinks he should be on that picture

He'll have to add himself. Besides, I don't know him like that to post 5-6 things about him

Oh no, its not the fov, valve changed the way weapon models worked so that they could throw in their skins for weapons.
Here is how it used to look (minus the graphical mod), note how the barrel of the gun is visible.

my fucking sides

now here is the new viewmodel, notice how his fat arm vompletely covers the barrel, not nice to look at.

...

they cant get out holy shit

Why did this happen? ;_;

oops

...

this poor fucking medic is just trapped here

epic meme

Go away, Viva

very nice

Post Demomen

Huh, I've never seen the brimstone used like that before.
Pretty nice

One of my least played classes

friend of mine really likes pilgrim hat, dangeresque, and a professor's pineapples all painted dark purple

Demoman Melee

>+20% blast damage from explosive jumps

Would you use it

i'm still really proud of this loadout and it makes me actively want to play demoman. all i'm missing are the bad pipes.

I'm disappointed in your friend

Too many stats at once, simply it first
