Lucky you, mine just freezes saying "hl2.exe has crashed" the moment I open it.

>>83491667
Your old computer was probably fucking up so badly it made it harder for people to kill you, but you could still kill them.

>>83491731
I'm worried because I've spent so much time on xbox TF2 that the moment I get it on PC it won't actually have as much extra crap as I thought and I'll just be playing the same game with hats.

OP, you suck. The only person you should have any trouble killing is Boku.

I 'main' dead ringer spy. Probably 500 hours into it alone. Find it the most enjoyable because I can just skip the frontline spamfest, do my own shit and get into amusing mindgames with pyros and engis. As a result though, i also have memorized every ammo box health point in every map plus the best routes to stab/run, usually completely annihilating servers and heavily influencing the balance of a game.

But when I join a server like Hampshire Heavies and try to pull that shit, it doesnt fly at all. Players are ten times more aware and know how to counter it. So, I switch to another class, and get brutally fucked over because I have apparently forgotten how to play anything else. So yeah, guess i know how you feel - thing with Weabootique is that the teams are always stacked, I got sick of that shithole real quick because of it. Its no fun on either side.

>>83492032
I just pictured lumps of fat in your thumbs, never thought that'd happen.

>>83491980
dont give up on scout, practice those high flying acrobatics and stealth and the explosive classes will be your bitch

Wrong board, pal. I can do fairly well on Skillzero's and 4chan partyvan. But those Weeabotique guys are just in another league compared to me.

I'm awful at this game and I don't really care anymore.

bump for baww

Gunboat Soldier and Vanilla Scout are my favorite

the best way to improve your skills at vidya is to watch the way the best play

- sun tzu

No, you cant be taught how to be a monster with the scattergun because thats all skill with the mouse and reflex (you can practice though), but watching someone who is really good at the game will improve your playing

Watch all this guys videos, among other good tf2 players and youll see some improvement

>>83493829
People still use Gunboats? Cool, mind sharing some tips on how to use the boats effectively?

being good at tf2, LMAO

>>83491277
Most players in TF2 are below average players. They still play TF2.

>>83494159

Go on a jump server and practice.

Approach things like you would as a scout, a gunboat soldier is good for fast and burst damage, i.e. rocket jumping behind a group, killing the medic with 2 rockets, then getting the fuck out of there with the last rocket. Approach fights as you would a scout.

Watch how roaming soldiers play in 6v6. Then can use a shotgun because they have a competent medic, but in pubs when you don't, the gunboats are invaluable.

>>83494333
So I jump in, do some damage and jump out? That's the plan? How can i tell when I've done enough damage and it's time to retreat? Is retreating onve you have 1 rocket left to fire a good general plan?

You guys sucks major balls, carnage here 8)

>tf2 is dead but since i must play & have no games i still have to suffer & watch bad players like OP.

how was your day /v/?

get ignored because i dont want to be a faceless piece of shit

>>83494159
Here are my tips on using it:
1 - Don't.
That's all, good luck!

Play Demoman on my favorite servers.
Choose the horseman's Axe load out because I'm somewhat good at it. Hate that motherfucking sniper named wax because every time i kill someone with the Axe he head shots me.
Start murdering him with long range grenades.
Everything went better than expected.

>>83493829
If you play gunboats soldier, then I'm sure that you suck as soldier.

Look for MGE training servers if you really want to get better.
Anyways, doing well depends a lot on the team you're in and the one you're up against. One day I'll dominate a server, the next I'll be doing my best just to keep my kd positive. Another factor is simple game-sense. If you can guess what the enemy is doing with any kind of reliability, you'll do a lot better than even a skilled air-shotter or sniper who doesn't understand the game.

>Weeabootique
Found your problem.

>>83491277


Same here OP. I've played over 280 hours now and still suck at it.

But it's still fun as hell!

>>83494885
What servers do you recommend, then? Preferably somewhat low population too btw (as in often times it has 6v6). I just can't seem to play worth a damn when there are lots of people.

what is a good server that is usual almost full?

>>83495027
I have no goddamn idea man.
I can't find decent servers much anymore, one of the main reasons I'm on hiatus right now, but Ubermelons are usually decent.

>>83495027

Try this one.

217.172.179.139:27015

It's a nosniper server on an orange map, but it's kinda nice.
No fuck annoying snipers.
I'm going to play on that right now.

>>83495247
Mind giving me the IP, thanks anyway, man.

Over 600 hours of game play.

Lalala

Oh Yes. I was suposed to tell you:
When you keep on getting pwned, you're suposed to learn from it.
Not just do the same mistakes over and over again.
Thats called progress.
So when you know an enemy is ahead of you. Its either a trap or a feirce fight! So either you know where he's going to shoot, you jump dodge, and move away, or pull him into a trap inorder to turn the balance to your advantage.


Chess gentlemen.
If you play the game its ment to be played. You out wit your foes.


See you; hoes.

>>83494623
i do. competitive tf2 is what separates us from the casuals

inb4: there's competitive tf2?

>>83494667
there's a /v/ server where most of that shit gets ignored

I'd say it really comes down to knowing the mechanics and, of course, knowing how to aim.

It's hard to explain, but when you've played long enough you just know how people will generally react with the classes. Almost everybody follows the same sorts of patterns. You'll know when to move in and when to fallback for health, you'll have a good idea of how much damage you can sustain, but never allow yourself to get hit in fear of a random crit. My aim gets damn godly when I'm up playing TF2 for more than five hours straight. With the flick of the wrist, I can track a scout who just jumped around me and get a meatshot on him.

>>83491980

It takes more than a hundred hours to "master" spy. Unless you're on Dustbowl, which is the most demospammy map in the entire game, there is no reason why you should be running into pipes/stickies.

>>83491277

>Is it just me or are their players a lot better than average? Then again I'm ass at the game. Let's all post our stories and feel sorry about ourselves.

I know its TF2 but... whats your average fps? Do you have a good connection? I was playing BC2 on a shit card... 25 fps average, yeah. Well I upgraded with a less shit card, and Ive improved a lot, then again if I join a "Squad Deathmatch" server (16 player max) Id do good because game runs fluent.

>>83495339
Do they have no snipers for any other maps?

>mainly play scout, soldier and sniper
>be awesome at all of them, at least on pub standards (I play some comp too)
>always top scoreboards

Why are you bad at such an easy game to become good at, /v/?

>>83495561
That is the stupidest thing I've ever read.

>have about ~60 hours playtime
>can be credit to team as Engineer (actual credit to team, not just hurrdurr sentry nest near spawn rack up kills from idiots)
>hate playing engineer
>competent support pyro (protecting engineer nests, blocking charges, shit at going on the attack)
>shit at everything else
>still main Spy because fuck you I'm having fun

>>83492625
Despite being a mic spammin weeaboo server, there actually are some really good players on there. Dont feel too bad about it.

>>83495738
Everything else is fine, my only major problem is aiming. I have poor reflexes and until about 2009 (when I got TF2) I was never big into shooters,

anybody wanna start a server so we can all suck together?

>>83496369

>>83496369
Sure, we can play in: 64.79.102.195:27015 That server has been rather empty for a while.

>>83496488
alright joining now
