Tough Break update is LIVE! http://www.teamfortress.com/toughbreak/
Don't buy a contract pass if you're expecting profit out of it.
If you can't see your contracts or if your scoreboard is messing up, uninstall your HUD until it gets updated

Would this pro strat work? Or will it just plain stupid?
Pregame, Payload, setup on offense.
You have 3 medics building Uber. 2 of the medics kill themselves infront of the spawn exit and switch to another class, preferably one they are good at. One of the medic remains alive and will continue being a medic, preferably a good medic. That medic will keep cycling between the dropped mediguns to prevent them from despawning.
The gate opens, another teammate using explosives will launch the dropped mediguns out of spawn and into the fray. The medic will use his uber as he normally would during the 1st rush, and when it is done, he will go to one of the launched mediguns and use its uber. Repeat until out of mediguns.
So...yes...no?

i just play harvest and badwater theyre fun maps
if youre determined to play 6s maps in pubs youre kinda autistic
my counterargument is that youre kinda autistic

no the explosive part doesnt work anymore
Why does Mannpower feel more balanced than the actual game?
>>126193004
no, explosions don't work on weapons like ammo boxes

It's not hard to predict the future when you consider Adam's Laws of Human Nature.
Maps have doors that only the default Fire Axe can open making Pyro only shortcuts?
>TFW I actually made my $6 back off Tough Break
Never again.
>>126193609
yes
>>126193357
IMO, it makes every class much more equally viable as long as you know what powerups do and how to use them (destroying a whole group of enemies and stealing their powerups with the underrated Supernova is the best feel in the world), and also allows you to break stalemates more easily if you coordinate well enough. It's hard not to love it.

>>126193290
Honestly I'll play any official map, I don't see the point in complaining about what map I happen to be killing people on.
>>126193429
Humans predict the future all of the time. You predicted the future when you posted this thinking to yourself "I'm about to get verbally destroyed here" and then you pressed send. I figured that there was money to be made off of people who couldn't keep their wallet in their pants. Both of us predicted correctly. Sure bets everybody cashes in on, and the prospect for gain diminishes. Only by taking risks can you really move forward, but risk itself does not guarantee a greater reward. In the future you should take care to examine how much you can gain from a situation and how best to hedge bets when possible.

Please Read At Least Once: "Need a Christmas gift"
As a team fortress 2 player, i really like the game. I wanna play it as much as i can but limited by studies(i cant play while am in college hostel, no pc allowed , but whenever i come home in holidays i always play).
However whenever i want to play it , a big problem is of high ping and no server. Am from India , there are hardly any 24/7 servers for us. Not only that most either don't work , few lack good admins , rest lack players. I knew a lot of my friends who wanted to play this game but left one by one because of the lack of good gameplay. We have to play in servers from 250 -350 ping, with the lowest from Singapore servers. I don't know whether i should quit playing or what cause i love classes like scout, soldier, medic etc which require low ping to be effective.
So I have come to the 4chan community. If any of you can create a server for India it will be really helpful. I don't know how all this works but it is what i think will be a very good Christmas for all Indians... And for all Indian tf2 players post comments below so that we can show that we really want a server on which we all can play together
>>126196541

Crafting is a losing bet. You'll be much better off smelting weapon drops and using the metal to buy hats from other people.
Hats are only worth like 20 cents, anyway. It's not something to focus on.

aw sheeeit, this looks great, thanks a ton!
>>126214183
Soldier gets the Direct Hit too, Scout gets Bonk which isn't a real counter but helps if you have a semi-competent teammate, Medic has the ubercharge. There are more counters to a sentry than you'd think. The only classes I can think of that'd have a hard time with a sentry are Pyro (a close range class against something that has double his health and damage output), Engineer (although if you want to go full retard you could wrangle your sentry against theirs from range if positioning allows it) and Sniper (who can snipe the engy and then plink the gun to death if it isn't tucked away in a corner where it's vulnerable to splash damage from Demo/Soldier)

>>126214587
>>126214183
The issue you guys are conveniently overlooking is that the teamwork required to counter the stacked sentries is much more than what is required to do the sentries in the first place.
Yeah, only in disorganized pubs (and that's how pubs will always be, face it) are sentries so powerful, but if sentries really deserve to be that powerful then it should require some effort and ability from the players doing it, shouldn't it?
Heavy/medic is really boring in pubs for similar reasons.
>>126214572
thanks but I really half assed it
I felt like trying and then I didn't feel it.
>>126214810
The problem is when there's a lot of them, which makes it much harder to find blind spots. I'm not saying the changes are good (yes, let's fuck up this whole class because stacking him is the issue), but at least it isn't baseless.
