Thread: Hardest class to play on tpg

It's amazing how many people complain about Dead Ringer when it's the only watch you can actually counter. You can't stop a man who's cloaked and runs away, but you can stop a obvious feign by going near the closest ammo box and waiting for him to decloak.



It's really easy to kill Dead Ringer Spies, for me at least. :\


The only hard thing about Spy on TPG is getting within range to stab, often times you'll get caught in the act and gibbed before you can make your move. Or, my favorite part, you get a failstab, and die because of it. I love Valve's "Hit Detection".

I can usually maintain a nice 4+ k/d when I play DR spy on TPG so no, I wouldn't consider spy at all difficult. The dead ringer just gives you way too many chances to try again.

Scout is difficult just because of the large player count. It's a GREAT class in 6v6, but at 12v12 it's just unreliable.

If you look at all forms of chemistry a team can have, I really still think engie has it the worst. Spy is, no matter how much he tries not to be, a lonewolf player. They can obviously call out stuff behind enemy lines and go for key targets, but theyre always going to be on their own. If there is a team adamant about stopping a spy, then its going to be hard, but 9/10 times thats not the case. As an engie, you dont need some skilled attack, really just an uber or an annoying sapping conundrum..

Spy is kinda designed to be that way though, he goes out on his own to get in to position for a good kill. He's also really not designed to be class spammed, it's best to only have 1 Spy, or two good Spies who are good at communication.

Arguably Sniper and Scout are capable of lone wolfing too, Snipers have always been that way in every fps, and the Scout spends a lot of time flanking targets and dealing damage before making an escape. It's surprising how much Scout and Spy have in common actually, the difference being how they play. One is more in your face, and the other......well....isn't, obviously.

wat r pyor

Engie team chemistry=combat class or pyro sits on dispenser, kills spies. 'Nother combat class or a pyro blocks any attempts to uber in. Demos are treated as higher priority than medics. Easy stuff, engies don't even need to communicate beyond "BITCH SIT YER ASS ON THE DISPENSER"

Lonewolfing is actually impossible. It's really just a silent form of teamwork, attempting to use you team as a distraction while you flank for the jugular. It'd be so much stronger if people communicated what they were doing, though.

You can't move the sentry if they know where it is and push in with uber, demo corner stickies it, etc. You assuming people wiil be shocked at where it is the first time, I think most TPG'ers by this time know every sentry spot possible and anticipate it.
