tf2 tips
Ramini
You know if thats 4 people or 4 "points" so 1 scout and 2 people or 2 scouts would also be the limit? Seems to go faster when theres a huge crowd of scouts on the middle in Granary.

I think it's just 4x capture rate, so two scouts, not sure though, here's the source: http://deadworkers.com/forums/viewtop....php?t=697

Of course with more people on the cap point you stand a better chance of fending off attackers, but if most of the other team are dead, it's best to move on up.

Oooh good tip. You're a real information mine tonight tim.

hrm? What is this?

crash is referring to the hlstatsx page for the server (http://cleveridiot.hlstatsx.com/?game=tf) and the daily award for most stabbings (seems like you have a few lol http://cleveridio...yer=19982)

I'm probably missing the actual meaning, but I guess it's a resident evil 4 reference (?)
 
crash
haha not really.. cos my real name's Leon Giggleol:Giggleol:
 
agrippa
Thats cool, id only ever looked at the top of the page before, didnt realise there were daily title things.

could the knife master thing also be a reference to the film Leon?
 
jem58
Oh god that film's good. Thanks for reminding me, I ought to watch it again sometime Pfft

oo yeah specially natalie portman
ugly.plzdiekthxbye.net/large/l036.gif
but in that movie she is too young for me (13y)
 
Ramini
What nax said Smile though she doesn't look too much different. Think its probably resident evil.. if I remember rightly Leon uses guns and explosives mostly while leon on resi always has that trusty knife to hack at zombies with.

Here's one I just noticed. If you've paid attention, I'm sure you've noticed that the Sentry Gun beeps occasionally. But you might not have noticed how far away this can be heard.

If you're cautious, you can often hear enemy SGs before you see them. Once you do, the beep gives you two important details:

1. The gun beeps when it hits the end of its turn and starts moving the other way. SGs have a slower lock-on time when they aren't facing you, so this can let you time your attack to when its facing away.

2. If you haven't seen the gun at all yet, the beeps tell you the level. A L1 gun has a single beep, an L2 two beeps, and an L3 an odd little pattern of three.

What a great tip. I never noticed that before.

Hmm, I didn't think you could make those jumps with anyone but the scout, soldier or demo. Thanks!

Nice militant, I knew about the hearing sentry guns but didn't know that they had a pattern for the rank. Also, since the sentry guns take time to rotate for targets behind them spies often do that stab-sap combo, if theres not enough time to sap then you can often circlestrafe in the same direction as the turret and get an extra second or so to plant the sapper.

That jump across for the spy is useful, I normally go all the way around though and people suspect you less when you're coming from spawn rather than materialising on a sniper spot Smile If they havent got a sentry up I can see that causing hell.

The heavy jump.. oh my. Unless the teams are uneven the easiest way to take that cap is to take both side buildings and thats got to make that impossible. I did try to explain crouch jump to someone on the server a while ago but, although it was part of the original HL tutorials they couldn't get the idea Smile

My tip anyway is one I noticed last night. How to spot spies, or at least, me. The Double Take.
If a teammate is running one way then suddenly changes direction or slows to look at something then goes back to his original direction its a spy. He was thinking about chasing either you or someone else for a backstab then realised it was too dangerous. Did that last night, immediately realised I'd blown my cover and tried (and failed) to run for it.
