Holy shit, I know you guys get this post like 30 times a thread, but fuck this game. I just want to play uninterrupted for as long as possible. Why does it get harder and harder as the years go on?

...

What class would you say you're worst at?
Scout

>not titled "equip regions.jpg"
baka

Being a Heavy main has its ups and downs I find myself terrible at Scout and Demo.

she has big honkers!

>stock sniper rifle
>hitting medics is a pain in the ass
>switch to hitman's heatmaker
>almost all of my kills are medics
is it just a placebo

Any event map servers up? I want to finally fill my spellbook but nobody is doing helltower.

yes since the body shot damage penalty makes it so you cannot kill a medic at full health with a bodyshot

>its the start of the spookiest month of the year
>spooky mode isnt on

GABEM

crit stickies on every doorway

Demoman requires more skill than Sniper.

FBI'd.

pyro is my favorite tf2 class

Even Viva knows pyro is garbage!

Why is it so hard to make a good looking pyro

fire looks good enough

>good looking pyro

impossible. your only hope is trying to make him as grotesque as possible

autistic damage calculation time!
>SMG firing rate: 0.1s (10 shots per second, minus reload) dealing 12 damage per shot at point blank so 120 damage per second
>Cleaner's Carbine firing rate: 0.13s (about 7.69 shots per second, same damage as SMG so 84 damage per second rounding down or 96 damage per second rounding up
>Mini-crit damage on both is the same at 16 damage per shot, so max damage with cleaners carbine mini crits is 112 per second rounding down or 128 per second rounding up (123 per second if you don't round at all)
>the mini crits on the carbine at best let you deal 8 more damage per second over stock
literally only reason to use the carbine is to get mini-crits for the huntsman or bushwacka, also the 100 damage has to be done with the carbine itself

congratulations you mathematically proved that a shit weapon is shit

forgot to mention jarate lets you deal mini-crits instantly instead of needing to deal 100 damage with a piece of shit gimped SMG

it isn't

>kike killer
>vapormeme objector
jesus christ I don't even know you and I know you're annoying as hell

Is this an excuse to post pyros?

>not titling it "Towering Summer Shades"
>tfw your computer was broken that summer when towering summer shades came out

...

to be fair kike killer was a tf2g roll

>when an enemy sniper taunts after killing you
>you just wanted to have fun as sticky jumper demo
>you switch to sniper
>proceed to rape their entire team as sniper

i just wanted to have fun, but now i must KILL

oh im sorry

>be playing sniper
>shooting enemy team as usual
>kill a retard stickyjumper demo
>he switches to sniper and turns on his hacks

i swear valve is never going to fix this game

stay made faggot, i own u irl 2

blatant hacks or he was better than you hacks

pyro is easy to get good loadouts for, unlike poor old spy

I fucking hate this
>doing well as sniper
>other sniper on enemy team gets really fucking buttflustered and turns on hacks
>starts spamming lmaobox and "I swear i'm not hacking" and lenny binds out the ass
>all the fags on his team, including the guy who has less than half his points (20~) go to his aid and defend him because otherwise they'd all be btfo

>hurr i only lose to hackers

whats your excuse for still playing this game in two thousand seventeen anno domini

Perhaps you should post a good one then so people can see what you mean?

think again

Nigga I know the difference between people that are good and people that are blatantly hacking, but hey, you believe what you wanna, I gotta be programming rather than posting

Also post explosion specialists.

Sure thing publet

...

>when you try to make a joke but people take your post seriously and relate to a made up scenario

nobody cares about anybody's fucking loadouts jesus christ

do not bully skeleton pyro

I care

of course you do, who doesn't like to look at somebody else's shit loadouts and their ebic fonni named items

I understand that you're jealous and probably can't even afford a hat, but it doesn't mean you have to be a buzzkill about it ;)

Does anyone know a good reasonably cheap laptop that can handle tf2 @ 60 fps + mumble, or the sort of specs i should be looking for?

I want to get a new pc to play comp, but I'm a poorfag, and unfortunately my lifestyle necessitates that it be a laptop.

We still need a roamer for our epic Steel UGC team, any takers? Anyone? Anyone at all? Unless they're dckm, because he can't rocket jump.

I would, have basic rocket jumping knowledge and air strafe ability. But schedule is shit and I dont have anytime.

the ;) gave it away, bait harder

What's the best HUD?

Only if you'd like a shit schedule and EU ping

improved default HUD

>no one has an open schedule
where are all these jobless neets viva keeps complaining about in this thread

NA only, please.

Nonexistant.

right here

I only have 1,800 hours in TF2 and have never played comp, you probably don't want me joining your games anyway.

Speaking of comp how would one get into it in the oce region?

move to america or ebland

Dude, we're all trash at this game. You gotta start somewhere. If you can do basic rollouts and know when to jump the med and listen to comms, you're golden. Also I think it's fucking hilarious how many people complain about soldier being easy, yet we can't find a player for what is arguably the easiest soldier role. Just mindlessly jump everywhere and pray their scouts can't aim.

can I be your 3rd medic backup?

Yeah, we really need one of those.

>post yfw u enter the FRAGZONE

that's only 200 hours behind like half of our team, get in there if you feel like it

Hmmm...my epic?

>those desperate moments when there's enemies pouring out from around corners one-by-one and you're taking them all out with the last pipe/rocket, barely having enough time to reload a single projectile before another juan.huarez2005 comes flying around the corner with his phlog

Play OzFortress

*snipes you from another server with his """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""melee"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" weapon*

>When your meedick pops kritz as you round the corner with a full clip in your RL and 10 enemy gaymers huddled in close proximity to one another

When user post one of those shitty post x when u x and all of the children flood the thread with shitty reaction images they saved from those even reaction image threads on /b/ & /v/

i collect all my reaction images from /tf2g/

i understand your mad you didnt post it first.

when tf2 is a shit game not deserving of a general and you virgin loser nerds still refuse to move to overwatch

>REALLY ORDINARY PUB THING HAPPENS BECAUSE I'M PLAYING A PUB BUT I TYPE IT IN ALL CAPS AND USE A WACKY REACTION IMAGE SO THAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHAT HAPPENED WAS WEIRD AND DESERVING OF A POST

i want to play some tf2c lobbies but can't be bothered installing mumble help

installing mumble takes all of 5 minutes you whiny bitch

Sure thing, chief.

>thought jungle/Pyro was gonna be late June, early july
>now it's October and still no hint of it happening any time soon
How fucking long does it take to rebalance a single class, and like 15 weapons?

There aren't any good lobbies up anyway. Unless you're EU. Seems like whenever I check tf2center theres like no lobbies. It's just sad. Also Ublock Origin has never given me issues with TF2center.

i doubt it takes longer than 3 days to modify a weapon and bug test it but the devs' day worth of work consists of writing one line and dicking around for the rest of the day

It wouldn't hurt nearly so much if they had like a dev diary blogpost or released the update bits at a time or maybe just fucking brought back the beta.

...

And and generally horrible ideas you'd consider adding to TF2:
>Pyros, despite being, literally, out of their element, can remain submerged forever thanks to their air tank
>Pyros are not the only ones negatively affected by attacking under water: explosive projectiles have a 33% small blast area if they explode under water

...

...

Reduced AOE underwater doesn't mean shit when it's trivial to hit people directly because they can't move

jawohl

дa

>explosive projectiles have a 33% small blast area if they explode under water
That's not how physics works.
If anything explosives should be MORE effective underwater, water doesn't absorb any of the energy from the pressure wave like air does, it simply carries it further.
If you stood outside of shrapnel range for an exploding hand grenade, you'd likely remain unharmed. If you stood at the same range to an underwater explosion, the pressure wave would probably kill you.

shut up nerd

appreciate it nerd

ah, my apologies, I hadn't considered that.

>People want to invest resources into water balancing when all of ~4 maps have any significant amount of water
