General Discussion of one of the best f2p fps's out there at the moment.

What is your main?
Side main?
Least favorite class?
Opinions on the Newest Update?
Favorite weapons?
Favorite competitive player?

Go nuts.

 

[Efrath]

Spy.
Spy.
Scout.
It's okay I guess!
Your Eternal Reward or Big Earner.
None.

1000+ hours in spy probably, played competitively in the past in a Highlander team.

 

[Imperator Enya]

Gotta love Medic. I only play medic, but I guess pyro would be my secondary. Got around 1000 hours in total. The quick-fix is my favorite weapon, since I get to fly and flank enemies.

 

[SmashUniverse64]

It's only my favorite game of all time! But I only have about 650+ hours though... Main class is Scout, although I dabble in Sniper and Pyro. I can't seem to figure out the gameplay style necessary to play Engineer anymore. Going for contracts as him was not fun. Tough Break is pretty good. I love the new maps, especially Landfall. Gun Mettle and Tough Break were both really great and I hope that Valve continues with contracts. Favorite weapon? The base Scattergun. Mine is called "Dashie's Sonic RainBONK."

'course, I'm a bit out of practice with vanilla TF2 right now 'cause I almost always play on the war3evo server.

 

[Girubev]

Soldier/Demo
Medic
None, I guess I'm worst at Sniper/Spy
Very fun, but the contracts are frustrating
Market Gardener and Vaccinator
None

Aggressive and interactive is my name, going ham is my game. God damnit Leeroy...

Second Main : Scout
Least favorite class : Medic
Latest update : The contracts are really fun to do.

Hours played : ~5400 hours
Favorite update : WAR! Update

[anearbyanimal]

Main: Soldier
Side: Everything else (if I had to choose I'd say heavy)
Least Fav: Demo
Tough Break is okay, but the skins aren't great. Side for the warhawk RL. Soldier didn't get effected much so I don't mind the other changes.
Favorite Weapons: Blackbox, shotgun, escape plan
Least favorite weapons: Liberty Launcher, reserve shooter, sentries.

My favorite competitive player right now is probably B4nny cause of his scout and soldier. He made me want to try out soldier, along with some other friends.

Only got about 450 hours in so far, but I played alot in the orange box on the ps3 before trying the full game.

 

[Discord Sparkle]

How about favorite map? Mine's Badwater

 

[anearbyanimal]

How about favorite map? Mine's Badwater

New maps: Power House / Landfall

Sawmill is pretty fun, but I gotta go with Cactus Canyon or Viaduct.

 

[linkster]

I main Pyro, kinda, I guess. I also particularly like Demo, and Spy, and just about every other class.
I usually roll mostly stock weapons around the board, but have a few exceptions, such as Detonator, Homewrecker, and the Chargin' Targe.
So, anybody interested in the upcoming matchmaking?

 

[Not What We Expected]

Silver med here. I have to ask all good scout mains to leave the thread effective immediately to prevent any emotional trauma of being hunted down by the lime green peace sign of Satan from resurfacing.

I will also pocket you in a pub for three cents and a hug.

 

[BypenThynDragon]

Main: Medic (preferably battle or combat medic)
Side: Pyro/ Solder/ Demo (cant decide their all fun)
Least Favorite: Spys and post nerf mini sentries
Fave weapon: either my Strange Self-aware Beauty Mark or My Strange Festive bonesaw (they both look really cool)

Haven't played in a wile so I'm a bit rusty I plan on playing more but Homework

Steam used: dragonrider34765

 

[invertigo]

Mains: Medic/Soldier/Scout, in that order.
Favorite weapon: the vaccinator, which no one understands how to really use.

So, anybody interested in the upcoming matchmaking?

Matchmaking is going to be the game's saving grace if done well, and I really hope it takes off with the casual community too. Anyone else going to try it out once it releases?

 

[Sutekh94]

Mains: Scout/Demo
Least favorite: Ehh... I'd say engie if I really had to pick a least favorite; I generally like playing as everybody.
Favorite weapon: Loose Cannon, which I'd say is pretty good if you know how to double donk.

~1250 hours so far, including a bit of comp experience, having played a couple of seasons with a UGC Iron highlander team as a demo main. Can't wait for Valve to release matchmaking.

 

[linkster]

People talking about competitive experience, I have 3000 hours in the game and only bothered once, and was a substitute whose team lost the first game. I never really bothered after that, mostly because it was such a hassle getting in.

 

[Blank]

Soldier
Scout
Spy (no hate, im just bad lol)
Eh
Nothing specific, i like my strange weapons tho
Ster? No? Ok...

 

[SubrosianDimitri]

I main Solly and Heavy, though I also dabble in Pyro, Medic, and Spy. I mainly run the stock primary weps on all those classes except spy (l'etranger all the way). I'm most proud of my Aussie Rocket Launcher.

Spoiler

I was a UGC Iron Heavy for a highlander team in late 2013, main heavy even. I don't have time for comp right now though, and I probably won't for a good, long while, if at all again.

Hi.

In other news, I'm captain of a UGC NA HL Silver team! That's a lot of acronyms! Basically, I play competitive a lot.

Favorite classes are Slodier (exploder w/ rocket) and Demonstrations Black (exploder w/o rocket).
Least favorite class is Sniper.
Best map is Borneo.
Worst map is 2fort.
I've got 3,200 hours in the game, and I might just drop it all once TFH comes out. Ungulate hype!

How do you get into competetive? Or is it too dead to even bother?

 

[Daring]

How do you get into competetive? Or is it too dead to even bother?

It's not dead at all. In NA we have UGC (United Gaming Clans) which run both 6v6 and Highlander leagues for free, and ESEA which is a competitive 6v6 league that you pay to play in. EU has UGC, ESEA, as well as ETF2L for Highlander. I'll leave a link to UGC here, as it is probably the best place to start, unless you live in EU, in which case you can try your luck with ETF2L. As for how you get involved, there are plenty of resources. I'll leave a link here for the "getting started" page on the comp.tf wiki, which has an aggregation of useful links and information. And anyone who reads this post and is interested in getting started in competitive, and would like someone to ask questions, you can add me on steam, and I'll help as I can.

 

[Mr_Kenyon]

Ah, TF2, one of my favorite games. I've played for years (Steam only says 1300 hours, but I'm pretty sure something happened to reset that a couple years back.)

I always have a spot in my heart for Heavies, though I'll play any role that needs filling. Terrible with Demoman, I can't even Demoknight right.
I've played UGC from Iron to Silver, and even a season of ETF2L. I even got to participate in the 2nd season of Tumblr vs. Reddit. That was entertaining, even though my team got it's butt handed to it.

 

[Earlybird]

<cool and good post about competitive TF2>

I've personally played a few seasons of UGC Highlander and I'd absolutely recommend trying it out to anyone interested. It might be a bit of a time investment depending on the group, but playing together and growing as a team has made some of the most fun moments I've had with video games. If you have even a bit of hesitation, just take the plunge and find yourself an new Iron or equivalent team, even just as a sub if you want. You definitely won't regret it.
