True dat.every shooter is easier with mouse + keyboard
Hey, Thorns. I've been playing a lot of 24/7 instaspawn 2fort lately and I was wondering if you had any strategies for breaking down the enemy defenses and capping the intel. For some reason no one on 2fort servers ever wants to help me cap the intel and Pyros keep breaking my invisibility cloak. :(should probably just have a compendium of steam users in the first post or something...or you could just join the smogon group
not enough australian tf2 players on smogon, which is why i end up playing with some guys over on ozfortress. pub is boring when you win really quickly due to superior skill levels though, which is why we stopped stacking teams. i'm always up for a game, or i could help you get better at tf2. have somewhere in the area of 800-1000 hours clocked, it's not THAT much but i have a good understanding of the game. just don't ask me for 2fort strategies or i'll choke you
and you wonder why there is a twitch in my eye every time someone says '24/7 instaspawn 2fort'Hey, Thorns.

Also, it's not immediately obvious who everyone in the Smogon group is, so if someone gets bored, they could put together a list of Smogon TF2 players and their Steam IDs \o/
lol I know why it sucks, I was joking =P But thanks anyway.The problem with the 24/7 instaspawn 2fort is that it's much easier to defend than it is to attack, although many engi's do get bored missing out on all of the action in the basement. Most matches will devolve into a team deathmatch play just to get points. Your best chance at 2fort is if a group of people with mics (lord help you if it's all chat) work together to bust through one section and grab the intel. Expect to die when everyone on the other realizes that someone is completing the objective. Then once you die tell the location of the intel.
I use Dead ringer spy for 2fort if i need to grab the intel, so if someone assaults you early in grabbing the intel you can fake die and backstab them. Helps to take care of engi nests too.
So are we still up to this?Lets have a big Smogon get together tomorrow night, if one of the admins could make an event that would be awesome. *Cough* Give me admins in the group so that I can organize it *Cough*
CTF is by far my least favorite game type, especially on 2fort, since it is the biggest campfest this side of CoD and not at all fun. Control Point and KotH are my 2 favorites, and Payload's always funI just dislike CTF in general. I feel like 60 seconds is WAY too long to defend a flag that's been dropped even less than halfway from your base. All it takes is a suicidal Scout or Spy to reset the timer and all your defense was for naught. Heavy or Pyro standing on the intel? They either get sniped, or the bullshit grab box allows the aforementioned Scout or Spy to grab it despite the Heavy's fat ass being parked on it. So frustrating.
Plus, there's way too much Engie turtling.
