Topic: TF2 Class preferences .

Mentok, you need to work on how you handle pyro team mates.  I actively avoid you as a medic because I can't count on you.  I know specifically of three time that you have started telling me about an enemy, then run off to that enemy - bonesaw out - and gotten me killed by the guy I was actually fighting at the time.  The pyro has a very short range, and the guy off to the right outside of my range is less of a threat than the one I am torching that is two feet away.

I see you talk about your K:D a lot.  You play a medic.  It should not be a concern for you.  Your gun is very low powered and your melee very high powered for a reason.  Please stop trying to increase your kills and start playing medic again.  Or switch to another class.  That would be nice, too.

it is too hard to backstab a medic.for one if he is healing you why would he try to get behind me?Ahhh!!! he is a spy.lol

I am sorry. I noticed that I have more kills than kill assists and that is bad. I will be much more faithful to you I swear! I will earn your trust back. The gauntlet has been thrown down and I except your challenge!

Lately there have been people on my team playing the offensive classes that seem to have no balls and/or killer instinct (these people are not in the clan). They sit at the top of C and exchange long distance fire with the other team and nobody gets killed on either side (boring). If you want to kill them KILL THEM! I then drop down, run over to the guy on the other team and kill him, then I return to C or to people who need me.

I do find it annoying that I have to go out and pyro people, simply because my team mates turtle up.

Oh I get it now. I did not understand what "turtling" meant. I get it now.

[raVen]

I have no preference, therefore I have no class.

That makes you a classless clown .

I guess I have no class aswell

Offense is my class preference

Anomaly, you confused me by using DW for darth walt.  Thing is, we have a dw here and he is very different person, Lol.

To Mentok, you are one of the more challenging players to go up against, but I agree with Meph 100% from the point of view of a teammate.  Also, I'm much more likely to go offense if I feel like there is a medic I can count on going forward.

Something I noticed as a pyro recently:  I have zero effectiveness long range (obviously), but I'm also not the best thing at close range.  I have been killed repeatedly not only by Mentok's bone saw but also by a sniper's knife.  It's getting downright complicated to play a pyro, I have to be close enough to hose them, but far enough away to avoid the devastating melee weapons (my axe not being one of them and my health being average or below average for combat oriented classes).

It also means when you have to poop so bad... nvm.

[mephisto_kur]

Kerchief, you have always had a hard time with strafing - you should practice that.  While Mentok can get me if he's fast at running away and using his needles, he rarely tags me with the bonesaw anymore, simply because I went back to my strafe roots.  Ask any heavy that I have torched.  It is easy to strafe, but very hard to spin.

Oh Meph.

...there's a n00b cannon in TF2?  I've yet to find one, well, wait, the rocket launcher.

[kerchief]

I guess it's because I'm so used to the anti sniper strafe I learned in DoD, meph.  It just wasn't intended to keep me away from pesky medics who I thought would be dead by the time they could get close enough to hit me.

Imho, flamie is the newb cannon of TF2.  Sasha comes in a close second.

I've noticed this alot also.

Back to the topic:
Offensive:  just learning spy ... havent played it too much
Defensive:  love playing engineer - know how to help

Both those roles involve some good thought and reading of 'the situation'

[quorn]

I like the Scout on certain maps, the Demoman on others.  I'm starting to like the Soldier more and more.

Engineer's fun too.
