I just played a crazy game against some fucking glitch abusers. It was gravel pit and I was worried at first because fucking 2 against 8 and I am on the 2 side. POINT B first, nobody there, hooray. POINT A next, nobody there hooray. I get to point C and there are 8 fucking demomen running around IN THE FUCKING SKY spamming pipe bombs down on us.

1) They are in the sky and have VANTAGE POINT or whatever
2) They are wide fucking open.

So we clear out all 8 of them and then win the game hooray it was really dumb. But more importantly how the fuck did they get into the sky?

Ever wanted to an argument why to play PC version over console? There's at least 3 in there.

Well it's a little bit late, but here it is. I won't go into a full in-depth account of the games we played as I can't remember too much anymore. (I will in one of the next couple of SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAYS!) This'll just be a little highlights reel with commentary on each of the shots. I think I'll take notes throughout nexttime so I can give you a full showcase of what you're all missing (hint: don't miss it, join us next sunday)

Well to start us off, one of the reasons why TF2 rules so much is the ridiculous death animations. Do I really need to comment on this one?

A ritual of the winning team, it is obligatory to cleanse the stench of the filthy red team from their old base before you assault the next one.

This picture really scares me. I don't know what's worse, that grin or that equation (I was doing sums instead of playing)

A sneaky spy doing the limbo to avoid that bullet, he succeeded but unfortunately we just pummeled him with 'nades instead.

Ahhh, the Instapuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuro. They were a random finnish(?) clan that joined our server, all five players and constantly team hopped (and hilariously constantly got auto-balanced to the wrong team) until they were all on the same team. They claimed to be 'professional' gamers but in reality they just moaned a lot and accused us of cheating when they died.
nb: Apparently it means Instant Porridge. Don't ask, we didn't.

Odin and Hades, a couple of TF2buddies of mine that aren't GW related. They're pretty cool and Hades get hilariously worked up when people don't do what he says. They're a good laugh but they didn't really do anything that stood out and made us crack up/scream throughout the day.

Check it out, I installed 'SniperCam'(TM) for you. Basically snipers ALWAYS camp this spot and 2-3 snipers tend to have sniper duels from across this point to that little doorway in the middle of the shot, rarely useful to anyone else though the defending snipers can smash dumb attackers to pieces if they move a bit to the left onto a bridge that enemy snipers can't see. Spies always get ya there though.

Vesper waiting in ambush for the enemy. I don't think he knew I saw him, hehehehhe. I don't think he got any kills either.
Bonus points: Instapuuro double death in the shot.

I fucking hate sliding doors.

Ah love the smell of napalm in the morning....

I really don't know what to say...poor heavy. Not even that UBERCHARGE! could save him now.

A favourite defensive position for the start of Dustbowl phase 2, everyone crams sentries and heavies onto the roof and they always halt the starting invasion, but usually a demo comes along and blows everyone to kingdome-come with a single attack...unfortunately I didn't get a shot of this I was too busy telling psyburn to stop singing.

8pm is a bit too late for Jester so he decided it more appropriate to have a nap instead of playing TF2 and saving us from impeding doom from the Instapuuuuuuro.
Negative points: Double instapuuro kills. Instapuuro domination.

The final defence for phase 2. It's a bit over the top but it'll easily stop one or two crazy rushers, even if they are ubered. A couple of demomen or double-uber heavy/pyro combinations coming from under the walkway would probably own us though. They didn't though, because 'teamwork' doesn't exist in the internet.

These pictures are actually chronological, except this one because I really can't remember when it was taken so it just goes here. This is the sort of carnage you regularly find at control points, except dumbed down because everyone on the enemy team is dead.

It was about this point where the Instapuuuuuuuuuro decided we were cheating and started yelling about how they were better than us even though we were winning. Shortly after this they bitched that none of their team were medics and it was unfair (there's 5 of them, why couldn't they go medic?).
Bonus points: All 4 kills by Sarevok. 3 Instapuuro kills. Instapuuro getting mocked by someone on public chat.

Gotta look good when you piss off Instapuuro. Note the lame comeback (that didn't make sense) to the comment in the previous pic.

This is one of my favourite highlights. UBER ENGINEER! Yes, he did manage to take out the heavy 8
Bonus points: Insane motion blur.

Jester asked me to get a picture of DAS UBERSPARKLE for his UBERMEDICGIRL picture, this is what I took for him. It's not really that interesting I'm not sure why I'm showing it.

Eventually though as the night dragged on...we got tired and drained and just...gave...up..

And that's it! We played for about 2 hours (which is a pretty short session tbh) and I think it was very succesful. Iirc the GW turnout was Me, Jester, Vesper, Verne, Laz, Psyburn, Nightblade, Cliff, Rowain, Grogrog, Thejackyl and Woman. Anyone else I forgot post and I'll edit you in. Chef has just got the game and I know a few others have started to so I'm hoping for even bigger turnout in future. Don't be put off thinking you've missed out too much and won't be able to compete with us..because we're pretty shit so you'll fit in just fine even if you've never played before. Go and buy TF2 damnit!

And to finish off, a bonus reel from my pyropractice last night on the Imba German server I play on. WARNING If you're a spy with a faint heart...I suggest you look away now.

As planned as this looks it actually wasn't. We were just throwing random taunts of the pyro (from all 3 weapons, there's a different taunt for each of the 27 weapons in game) and we just happened to do the same one at the same time. I'm pretty happy with the shot as it cracked us up in game but it looks so planned which kinda ruins it.

Let he who says the UberPyro sucks be smitten, for it is fucking powerful. Yeah, be warned. If you're wondering why the scores are so high, successfully holding the last point in dustbowl can sometimes be a 25-30 minute defence if the enemy is a fast attacker. We ubered repeatedly throughout and constantly blitzed their first control point (at one point even though they had half the map captured we were still holding them back all the way at their spawn point..hehehehe)

Some people wonder what the correct thing to do is when you see an enemy spy. Well it is simple. 1) Melt his flesh.

Then mock him. If you're fast enough his '[ x ] killed you' screen will show you doing that over his corpse. Expect to be called a cocky shit.

I'm not going to explain how we made this screenshot as it'd ruin it but god damn it's awesome. Note: It's a kamehameha, no flamethrower in sight.

I told you it was imba, lol. This was one of the admins mucking about. There's really no need to explain this screenshot further.

Well they wouldn't make very good screenshots if I could barely run the game

It looks a lot better when it's animated and has the crackling sound effect, the picture really doesn't do it justice

You're kidding right? Soldier isn't very good, it's just crit rockets can screw you over at point blank range: read as a pyro. At long range ironically they're pretty shite. And 4/6 ammo guns with single shot reloads means in a prolonged fight they are pretty useless. Demo is a bit overpowered because of 8 sticky mines (should be 4 really). But the balance is pretty good there's no class that consistently dominates in any games really.

Yes, for all those reasons + the reasons in BM's posts. I find the community by-and-large to be fantastic in TF2 on the PC especially the voicechatters.

You're just annoyed because your medic girl was given some soup
