maybe the code is just so damned janky that it does take years to ensure fixing something doesnt interfere with something else. hello infinite sentries glitch et all.

I like how when any new weapon with a new projectile gets added to the game, it still kills your old team mates when you switch to spectator.

My favorite glitch was the one where you could keep swinging your melee weapon after you died, turning you into a vengeful ghost guarding your own corpse. If you were killed while explosive jumping and holding a market gardener, every single one of those ghostwhacks would be a crit. Good times.

What's the skinny on the Pyro flame? I say that because whenever I get caught in close range I am pretty much dropped in a millisecond, even if I just get set on fire and retreat- the burning kills me off. I was defending our intelligence and a scout strolls in and I flame his rear end, he darts around for about 4 seconds all the while I'm flaming him closely, he backpedals and gets away - what the gently caress! If that was me i'd be dead in 2 seconds  Is it better to blast the flame in burst on target, or is 'full autoing' the way to go [if they're any different].

That thing screws me over so often. I've lost count of the amount of times an enemy Pyro has been able to set me on fire while nowhere near me, whereas when I'm trying to flame someone I can have them run directly in my stream of fire for several seconds and they remain unaffected. This is why I play Flame Retardant Scout and use my shotgun as my primary and my flamethrower as a finisher/to reflect things/put my teammates out.

If you haven't yet, SERIOUSLY turn on hitsounds. It will let you know when you're actually hitting something, including with your flamethrower.

Remember: your flamethrower is better backing up then it is chasing. Apply this to win Pyro battles.

Also add the following to autoexec.cfg in your steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/cfg folder: code:Again though, it lets you know that you've hit something (possibly around a corner!) and how hard. If you're going up against a heavy and your first hit does plinking damage, you know to disengage before he turns around. If you nail that 200 damage headshot, you might be able to finish him off before he retrains his sights on you.

Actual good use for binds: there's a set of binds that makes you immediately move in a direction you push while still holding down another direction key (so pressing left will move you left if you're still holding down right) where normally you would freeze in place as they cancel each other out I think ?? I also use a medic bind that immediately takes out the medigun and ubers when I press mouse2, for when I don't have the medigun out for whatever reason

my absolute favourite bind is my reverse medic heal. it is constantly firing without me pressing m1. m1 is used to change patients. makes medicing a little less stressful

Oh yeah you can also set up Medic Radar that will lower the threshold for teammate's "heal me" pings while the button is pressed

I have a custom hitsound as well as the hitsound pitch thing and it distorts horribly when I land a crit explosive on a bunch of players. It's so satisfying.

I think it took me playing scout for a while before demo clicked. Until then, I wasn't usually thinking about switching between primary and secondary weapons much. Once you're playing scout and you're thinking about spamming pistol at range and using it as a finisher after landing a good meatshot or two, it becomes much easier to juggle when to use stickies or the grenade launcher.

The auto reload and constant medigun healing are in the advanced options, you don't have to mess with config files.

Just using the valve option it can become unstuck and you have to press the button for it to start up again. in my config press m1 stops the medigun completely, otherwise if you're just walking about with it out you can hear the little duh noise that it makes if you're trying to lock on to no one until it finds something. it is such an excellent script.

Anyone else using custom sounds notice that they're all static-y now? I used to have a Double-Donk replacement, and a Medic Charged Death replacement that both worked flawlessly - after a recent update, my Medic-Charged-Death is now nothing but static, and my Double-Donk is back to default. What gives!

What gives! Valve servers are now no fun zones and have sv_pure 1 set. Custom sounds and models no longer work but they're still perfectly capable of interfering with the default sounds for some reason.

I realize now (from loving with the sv_pure command) that hitsound.wav is unaffected, which makes complete sense since I still have that. Grr Valve servers.

Is there a way to change the icon used for medic auto-call? I'm colorblind and a red + doesn't pop for me like a red + on a white background does. I'll usually hear the sound and see the icon, then turn around and I can't find the person that needs healing.

It'll only work on servers running sv_pure 0 though, which excludes Valve server at the moment.

Did they enable sv_pure to reduce hacking/cheating or...? From all the people complaining about crit heavies and ambassador aimbotting spies lately I'd say it isn't working if it's the former.

From all the people complaining about crit heavies and ambassador aimbotting spies lately I'd say it isn't working if it's the former. sv_pure being set to a non-zero value doesn't do anything to prevent the more obvious cheats like crit toggles or aimbots, the stuff that gets you VAC banned no questions asked, but enforcing game content to be default does prevent spy uncloaking sounds from being made super loud, wall textures being made translucent, etc. The cheats you're "allowed" to get away with on sv_pure 0. I don't know whether it's deliberate on Valve's part though, they've flip-flopped between different sv_pure settings on their TF2 servers for a while.

Also watch out for the Backburner flamethrower, which does 10000% more damage if the Pyro hits you in your back. Or your front, or the side, or falls on you, from across the map or if you're playing another game.
