Tips and advice

Spy tip: if you do happen to get an enemy medic to heal you, start pushing towards your own territory while alerting your team at the same time. Hopefully your team can ambush the medic and kill him. This is also where you start firing at the medic in case he lives and has a few hp left.

I got some more tips for spy and other classes. I'll post as soon as I get some ss of what I want to say.

my first post woot!

after playing a map of dustbowl with a group with half new people we were getting dominated, after a while i started watching my teammates while waiting for respawns and thought of some good noob advice which i use all the time.

if your a spy, and wanna be a teamplayer, you must NOT BE AFRAID TO DIE. dont just run around with the enemy for the laughs. if you see a chance to take out a medic or a sentry gun, take the chance, even if your probably gonna get wrecked after you do it. if you hear an enemy medic shout out that he just got his uber ready, TAKE HIM OUT. if you wanna get a 2 for 1 wait for the medic and person hes healing to go around that corner where your team is waiting. the healed person will jump out expecting to get uber'd so kill the medic right before he can get it off, and let your teammates take out that heavy/soldier

Here's a nice idea to screw up the blue team on dustbowl. First off, the requirements:

1) charged medic
2) teammate to uber
3) must be defending the caps on stage 1 cap 2 or stage 2 cap 2

Now have your teammate stand in front of the iron gate and have him taunt. The medic should be standing next to the teammate being healed. Once they open the gate to kill him, uber him immediately and charge towards the open gate so it stays open for your teammate. Final step: Rape 'em! 8)

Illustrated very well by Howlin Murphy and myself last night.
It was probably one of the highest moments Ive had on the server.

It was effing ridiculous. I was standing at the gate. Looking at the medics charging, the engy building his sg...
around the corner comes running a fresh soldier, right up to the gate.
His head snaps up but its too late.
The gate opened.
Kill count =
2 Medics
2 Soldiers
1 Demo
1 Pyro
1 Engy
1 Teleport
1 Sentry

I love the crits....

My advice. Don't open the gate.
Unless I'm on your team saying - open the gate, Open the Gate, Please Fuck Open the Damn Ga.................
Respawn in 12...

when an engi- get a good corner and some distance. communicate with other engi's and get your shit up quick. on offense create a 'wire'. the line where they don't have a chance of getting past. engis are good in pairs because when one dies the other can keep house.
place your teleporter first go back in the base, restock and double time it to where your sentry is gonna go.
"I have defended the undefendable If Ruuky can do it so can you!"

when a medic-crouch and hide behind the heavy. learn the max distance between you and who ever you are healing. hide behind corners and if either of you is gonna die and you have charge use it.
also begin charging at the beginning of the match get you'll charge up. you have an Uber by the time the game starts.
sentries are your enemy
your gun arcs use it to shoot over things that way you have cover and give suppressive fire.

when a pyro-to quote BFH anti-squeaker
"Close your eyes and pray to god you get 'em"(in an irish accent)
also camping corners wont get you where you want. don't forget 'Q' you have the shotty for a reason

when a soldier-My skill class predict movement. and shoot at the feet you'll rarely get a body shot try to get them with shrapnel unless they are a heavy then you might get a body shot and a quick kill. also GO FOR THE MEDIC

when a scout- jump over everyone and dont run blindly. be a short distance sprinter. run and stop. when whacking another scout get distance and shoot the little bugger.

when a sniper- no more than 2 on ANY map. even sniper maps. nothing gets done and spy's are your weakness.they like to be sneaky

AND REMEMBER SPY CHECK FOR GODS SAKES. IT'LL PISS OFF AK.

Get behind the Commander and let the rest of the team catch up and move in together. Moving in one at a time, the enemy team will destroy you one at a time. Force is in #'s.

Give a battle cry when you whole team opens fire. Then walk up there and cap the flag.

Get some.....

Oh, and another Engie tip... pounding on the gun/dispenser does not make it build faster.... get the heck out of there and get some more metal, or kill something.

Also, you only have to camp your gun if you are in a critical defensive position. If you are on the offensive, build, and then get out there and pick of bad guys.

I don't know if your joking here or not but no this shouldn't be how you play the class.
Always stay with your junk that junk can mean win or lose for your team. Never leave your stuff unless it's for ammo to help another engie or if you know it's going down. Also hitting your sentry and dispenser does make it build faster. As a engie your not meant to hunt down and kill things. Again I think you may have kidding but just clarifying for those who might take this seriously...
