I have a bunch of killstreak weapons for the engineer, but I almost never get good killstreaks with him. The class design is so reliant on switching your loadouts constantly, and switching your loadout clears your killstreak.

Radiation Games posted:The only class I do not enjoy fighting is the heavy and that is for silly reasons caused by the way the game was advertised; i.e. they always seem to have a pocket medic I don't think heavy is pocketed due to marketing. He's a solid choice that has a lot of health and pushes the frontline, and unlike soldier and demo, doesn't explosive jump away from you constantly. He's also the only pocket target that can heal you back.

Man, there's so many costumes I want to do up my little men in but I feel really constrained by the 3 cosmetics slot limit. Its probably for the best in terms of performance but hurrrgh, I have a summer scout loadout and I have to make brutal decisions between the Aloha Apparel and the Summer Shades.

Is there a good way to get into MvM? Even just Boot Camp? I don't care about the Australiums, the game mode just seems fun and cool.

As a general rule, I never play MvM with randos - only with a friend group. I especially recommend this if you’re new to the gamemode and aren’t familiar with the “meta” yet. Playing with friends gives you waaaay more leeway to just piss around.

The easy missions are generally pretty doable even with randos. I think the later maps' easy missions are a bit easier than the original maps. Demoman is probably the most straightforward class to go into MvM with, there's basically no MvM specific special abilities or mechanics and the gameplay is going to be basically identical. Heavy is also good, but you do have to keep in mind that you'll be facing way higher volumes of incoming fire, so positioning can get very tricky. Also, tanks have major built in damage resistance against miniguns, which the game isn't very upfront about signaling for you. Pyro is also pretty straightforward, but again you will have to be creative with positioning sometimes in order to be able to contribute without immediately getting owned.

It's been a long time but from my memory there isn't really a great niche for pyro in mvm, particularly when there is a scout. Scout is very reliant on being the one to collect money to accomplish anything and not die, and any class who needs to get close is going to step on that a bit.

Pyro is good generic DPS, top tier antitank DPS, and can push the bomb carrier off cliffs. It's usually not a particularly necessary niche but it's hard to gently caress up as long as you have the game sense to stay alive.

Il be honest i recently did a tour of two cities entirely pubbed and it was completely pain free. I just played what i could based on what was needed and had little issues. It seems like somone always wants to engie. And my 4 games were 2 medics, 1 soldier, 1 heavy. Honestly playing pub medic is super chill. Just try to overheal everyone and be using the critz and upgrade your medigun and nobody gives a poo poo how good you are if you keep them alive/rez when they die.

girl dick energy posted:I've been watching a few of these. I'm a Heavy main in casual, is Heavy pretty similar in MvM aside from the different weapon viabilities? Brass Beast is pretty much your main choice since the mobility penalty won't matter nearly as much since you'll be parked near a dispenser in ideal situations. Basically you're a living sentry gun. Though your DPS against tanks is lackluster since tanks have hefty minigun resistance. Just don't go for knockback rage, that's a trap upgrade. It halves your fire rate when active, and knockback isn't a mechanic you should be widely using in MVM aside from emergencies since it means you aren't getting that damage ramp up from robots getting close to you. Also I don't think the knockback upgrades even work right nowadays.

girl dick energy posted:Brass Beast / Sandwich / GRU (or Fists of Steel?), go for BIG NUMBERS and being a pain in the rear end to kill? Generally yeah. Though across all classes you do have some leniency on which weapons you want to go with, and that goes for Heavy as well in certain situations. For example, Buffalo Steak + Warrior's Spirit can be a good way to tank bust if tanks end up being a big problem (Since miniguns deal very nerfed damage to tanks). And infinite refunds are an official feature so you can tailor Heavy or whatever other class to the wave at hand.

I’ve also heard the stock Minigun is just as good, depending on the situation. Is there a good rule of thumb for when to run which? (Also when you use GRU vs. FoS?)

The main thing is the downsides for the brass beast in MvM are basically not a factor at all esp with a single pip of knockback resistance to use in the rare emergency case of a demo knight getting too close without a uber or barrier up. Every other minigun doesn't offer anything remotely as useful as just more raw damage.

Can halloween contracts be done on the Uncletopia servers? TF2 is something I've plinked away at sporadically, and want to check out the seasonal content. To my knowledge there is stuff tied to achievements/items during Halloween and Christmas. Am I missing any other events?

Anti-Hero posted:Can halloween contracts be done on the Uncletopia servers? Contracts cant be done on community servers. And even then, it'd probably be a bit more annoying to do so, since a lot of contracts are gated behind doing other contracts, so you tend to want to focus on doing the maps you have contracts for. Contracts are mostly for getting halloween locked cosmetics, if you don't care about that sort of thing, then "checking out the seasonal content" is mostly just playing the maps and maybe going for the achievements, which you can do on any server running the maps. (Hell, custom servers can even enable the holidays at any time, including achievements, IIRC, but contracts are controlled by Valve entirely) I'm not aware of events outside of Halloween and Christmas, but I haven't kept up a ton.

Paging Fishbus: https://www.pcgamesn.com/brink-2 quote:Writing under the incredibly apt username ‘Brink2,’ one devotee of the erstwhile shooter is on a mission. For over a year, they have been amassing copy upon copy of Brink as part of a solo campaign to incentivize a sequel. It’s not easy. Games cost money, and Brink2’s local game stores only stock copies from time to time. Nevertheless, the mission continues – as of Friday November 10, Brink2 has collected precisely 31 copies of the forgotten shooter. Somebody on this planet would like more Brink maps, please

pisshead posted:Can't you just set up a sentry nest? It's pretty rare for me to be in a situation where I have a static sentry nest getting me good killstreaks. This might be because I play on Uncletopia, but nevertheless, static sentry nests tend not to last very long. Even still, the pressure to swap weapons mid-life exists. As long as you are running the Eureka Effect, you can always situationally swap out your primary for the Frontier Justice to score free crits. Plus, if you're still alive once you've expended the crits, you can teleport back to spawn to re-equip your normal shotgun or Rescue Ranger. Plus, one's teleporter entrance is always getting hassled if the enemy team is smart. Being able to go back to spawn, drop a new entrance, swap to the Jag, boost the teleporter, then switch back to the Eureka Effect to get back to the front is a thing you need to do constantly. (can you tell that the eureka effect is my favorite wrench yet)

It is not quite a replica of casual as there’s no random crits and class limits, but it’s a consistent set of servers with good admins that means you’ll be able to play the game instead of constantly having to kick bots or switch servers.
