ozfortress - team fortress 2 and fortress forever in australia

This is my first competitive match i've ever played. So basically im looking for some tips etc, because half the time i dont know wtf im doing (or what the calls are).

So yeah if pro scouts can check it out and give me feedback, that would be awesome!

scout in a/d? rofl u bad

GET OUT OF HERE VALK

you're playing way too aggressively for an inexperienced player, try playing more passive. don't run at an enemy the whole time you are fighting them, get to a reasonable distance and keep that distance. charging at an enemy will just make it easier for them to kill you

alot of the things you did you got away with because you were playing against a div4 team, whereas a better team would have correctly called your position and killed you (like the 2nd time you scored, the whole team sitting up the top and didn't notice you)

don't rush maintenance so much because a more experienced team will call that you're rushing maint, and kill you as you'll be out of position

oh and dont keep rushing last, comp != pub, the only time you should be moving into last while there are enemies there is if your team is pushing or if you're going for a backcap (which is only a good idea if their team is forward or only one player has been left there)

in all seriousness pegg is a good bloke, and will take on board any tips
good post snow

Maint = The side shack thing on their side?

Ah so that actually explains back capping rofl, had nfi

Ah cheers i really have nfi what to do when going for the last point. I was trying to go in when people were calling push, but basically i'd just try and sit on the cap point rather than fight people off, which probably is the first place they look ;p

Also is there certain classes i really should go for when battling on mid, i've heard go for almost every class but basically would rather narrow it down. Yeah i could take out demoman/medic by going behind but it'd just end with me dead, is it worth it?

Also is sticking around defending resup good place for scout/s when defending spiral?

Also when's good times to capture spiral when we're defending our last, and what should i be doing while defending, and good places to stay

And are snipers actually any good for wars(maps like badlands/granary), or do they just slow the team down? Because solo scouting can be a bitch

yeh

demoman + medic is absolute priority

what you want to be doing is keeping track of enemy scouts / calling where they are as well as trying to protect your own medic + demo. it's not really a good idea to try to go for a med/demo pick every single round, only go for one when you have a good chance of it

yes, that's where you should be

you're usually better off waiting until they have 3 or more down, and only if your team has more players up and are able to defend last sufficiently

snipers are ok sometimes, snipers shouldn't be used on granary at all except for attacking/defending last point, badlands they are ok.

in general, unless the sniper is absolutely amazing you shouldn't be running it, and you certainly shouldn't be running it the whole scrim. giving the other team more scouting advantage can be deadly since as soon as you get taken down they pretty much have free reign

also small thing, it's called spire not spiral, doesn't really matter

also for some reason i cant edit my posts in this thread

.

peggaleg?

basically it's like this
badlands:

you want to make sure scouts cant rush your demo. if you lose your demo early at mid you lose basically. if you hve nothing to fight, try to put some damage on their demo (those logn range shots x 2 from ur otehr scout = more damage = more defensive demo = good for your team). try to avoid rockets and all that shit, get a call if scouts flanking you or w/e. be creative after the initial brawl at mid, so dont do what other scouts do and just jump on and off bridge while trying to push.

attacking spire you want to sort of alternate with ur soldiers rocketjumping up to the cp, on and off etc, like hot potato while still tracking their scouts so they cant flank your med or w/e.

attacking last you want to support your demo/soldiers, try join them in damage rather than trying to fight someone on 150%. situationally you can ninja the cap, just adapt to shiiiiiiieeet

RE: retaking spire whne theyre attacking ur last, if your teams defence is pretty solid you can try and sneak out and pressure their team from behind while charging uber (pushpull type play from u and team) while getting resupp. be careful of getting ganked by their scouts or some other gay shit like that. you can start backcapping when they are ubering in (when ur team calls they uber in)

defending spire at resupp is standard - be careful of some shit teams that try some retarded push where they bait you with scouts and soldier rjs at you

aw thanks mike ya polish fuck
