TF2 needs a pink slip mode, kill a dude and he drops his hat, you can pick it up and keep it.

I use that cowbell hitsound (I think it's called UTcomp?) because when I use the Direct Hit or Loch N Load it sounds like my opponents go pop when I hit them. :3:

I use the ring capture sound from Sonic. It works great with dingaling settings, just long enough to make a crit feel awesome without feeling painful.

I've never played a Quake game, but I use the Quake 3 hitsound. It's really clear feedback, and scales well with pitchscaling -- not as annoying for rapidfire weapons, and you can still tell what's happening when you get a crit.

ESEA Season 17 LAN Finals are this weekend!



After ETF2L finals last Sunday, we're hopping over the pond now to see the top 4 North American 6s teams duke it out over the weekend at LAN for their share of a $16,880 prize pot.

First matches are scheduled for 10:00 CST on Saturday morning, with a full double elimination bracket being played throughout the day, leaving the grand final for Sunday.

Brackets are up here and it'll be streamed on ESEA Orange. Hope to see some of you tuning in!

I'm getting some weird sound problems with my headphones. The gamesounds will come out of them just fine, but the instant I join a Steam voice chat, the gamesounds start coming out of the speakers instead. I've tried everything from messing around with in-game sound settings and disabling the speakers (which just results in me hearing nothing but the voicechat), and I'm not sure what else to try. :( It's not just these specific headphones either, it seems to do it with every one I've tried.

HEY RADICAL LARRY HOW ABOUT A HAIRCUT

****MIC TO THE WILLY***
Been enjoying the mode where both trains have to get to the point (High tower map I think). Although I hate demomen with those annoying zone in meelee weapons. Do they auto-target somehow, it's a guaranteed death for me if I see one with a sword out. CHEAP rear end FOOLS

I was going to say, those promo uniforms looked kinda cool and it'd be neat to see them in-game. I didn't think they'd actually find a way to make that happen very easily for matches.

The swords have a much larger range than most melee weapons. Combine that with TF2's wonky melee detection and it will certainly seem like they auto-target.

Edit: I glanced through the wiki but couldn't find anything definite about the range. I remember seeing something like 70% larger, but that could be way off. Does anyone know?

The wiki says the Disciplinary Action has a 70% longer range, which is "slightly more than the Eyelander."

I think it goes Persian Persuader->Claytor (not even trying) Moor -> Eyelander ->Disciplinary Action. The Half Zaotachi (still not trying) doesn't get a range bonus.

Hell yeah, I didn't want to say because jaded rear end oldies shouldn't tell newbies what's fun, but 2fort and even the whole CTF gametype are widely considered bad; 2fort is incredibly primitive (it's a port of a 20 year old map iirc), there are much more fun maps, and Hightower is probably the best "mess around" map; loads of healthpacks and vertical gameplay. Try Payload maps, specifically Badwater and Upward, they're also considered some of the best/most fun maps.

All of the shields allows you to turn a little during the charge, there's a weapon that enhancing turning speed and one particular shield allows perfect turning control; they aren't auto-targeting you, they're piloting it into your face. Protip: anything that knocks back will screw up the charge; a Pyro airblast will completely stop it and an explosive at their feet will pop them up and make them unable to close the distance. During about the last quarter of the charge they get a free melee crit: don't let them do that! This charge is on a timer (that a few items can recharge quicker) so if you can screw it up they're stuck waddling over to you: dead in the water.

Yeah, friendly fire hitboxes don't get lag compensation so they often don't make any sense; you can see this if you use the DA a lot: sometimes it just decides to not hit. To compensate for this it's got the crazy range.

Also, if they slam right into you and swing immediately they get a free crit. If you ever wonder why a guy charges two feet and your head flies off, that's why.

Winner of this match plays Elevate later today in the upper bracket final. Winner of that match gets a ticket to the grand final tomorrow.

There are two lower bracket games to decide who gets to have a second chance at the championship too, since this is double elimination.

Full bracket is here, it should be updated as the LAN continues.

There are much better maps for loving around. Even most ctf maps are better. The popularity of 2fort is mainly that 1. it's old and people are used to it, and 2. it's easy to play when you're feeling lazy. Just walk out of spawn, walk two yards onto the balcony and you can shoot at stuff. Then just walk two steps back into spawn to get health back or change class.
