Moving buildings changes the entire game and for the better. The set-up/take-down time is totally fair. I like when your team tries to defend the turret you're setting up. SO fun.

Also, overnight the Spy became the game's most important class.

ManaByte · « **Reply #1 on:** July 09, 2010, 11:31:40 PM »

Wait. You can move buildings now?

GilloD · « **Reply #2 on:** July 09, 2010, 11:46:13 PM »

Yeah. Anything built can be packe dup and moved. You move slower with a packed building and the set-up time is kind of long, so it's not like you can run around dropping a Level 3 sentry anywhere you feel like.

ManaByte · « **Reply #3 on:** July 09, 2010, 11:48:16 PM »

Oh by buildings I thought you meant actual BUILDINGS.

cool breeze · « **Reply #4 on:** July 09, 2010, 11:48:38 PM »

only thing I have to discuss is just now realizing I should have taken advantage of the achievement map the gaf server last night instead of running around confused for 40 minutes

but yeah, great update. Engineers are way more offensive now, and considering that is the class I played the most as, I think it will make things way better.

GilloD · « **Reply #5 on:** July 10, 2010, 12:02:24 AM »

You can run up your first milestone in like 30 minutes easy.

I'll just try and get them naturally, even though some of them are unnatural and need planning. The ability to move things alone is a big change, let alone controlling them and mini-turrets.

the one on the gaf server was so bizarre. there were rooms that were built to hurt you and giant columns of water floating in the air.

Being a major demoman, all the buildings make for fun

Bulleta©™® · « **Reply #9 on:** July 10, 2010, 07:11:55 AM »

Demo and Engi are the two classes I've yet to try.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 12, 2010, 02:15:31 AM »

Engineer is the most fun class, especially if you can't aim like me.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #11 on:** July 12, 2010, 02:21:40 AM »

I hate it. So fucking much. But I haven't gotten the Wrangler yet.

And yes, you should play more, Scar. GAF server is cool.

it's like baseball

Beezy · « **Reply #14 on:** July 12, 2010, 07:24:58 AM »

It always seemed way too fast and chaotic to me. I could never get decent at it.

Beezy · « **Reply #15 on:** July 12, 2010, 02:42:44 PM »

I tried it. Never felt like I was really doing anything. I tried every class.

I lolz0red at Linkzg's comment, but Cajole's got the right attitude. I love playing Medic. Everyone's happy to see you.

I've only played the 360 version, so I don't even know what you just said.

Console versions are like playing the Wii version of anything. Shockingly inferior

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #23 on:** July 13, 2010, 09:21:02 PM »

Pyro is TF2's God Class, all other classes are inferior.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #24 on:** July 13, 2010, 09:27:55 PM »

Pyro is the class of KINGS, Green Man. KINGS.

Backburner pyros are losers.

Compression blast pyros are great.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #27 on:** July 13, 2010, 09:54:51 PM »

Exactly. Those who do are great. Sending back rockets is super fun.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #28 on:** July 13, 2010, 10:39:21 PM »

Compression blast pyro here. I also like blasting people off ledges.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #29 on:** July 13, 2010, 11:05:03 PM »

Compression blasting an uber medic off a ledge on a payload map away from his healee is one of my greatest joys in TF2.

The new Hightower map has an area where pyros just camp and wait to blast people off the edge. It's annoying as fuck.

cool breeze · « **Reply #31 on:** July 14, 2010, 01:59:03 AM »

I always thought the demoman was the best class. I don't like playing as it unless I go around with the sword, but two seconds after deploying a sentry these sticky grenades show up out of nowhere to blow it up.

When I first got the game I figured medic would be like some other FPS games where you had a good weapon and could heal yourself, making it the best class

Since I suck at aiming, I play medic and demoman

FUCK MOUNTAIN

Raban · « **Reply #37 on:** July 16, 2010, 02:39:05 PM »

I'm loving the Engie update, been playing a fuck-ton every day. Demoman to counter Engie-spam is

Don't really like Hightower, haven't played enough of Thunder Mountain. Upward and Coldfront are omg so good.

My main classes are Pyro/Scout/Sniper, and I love Pyro, haters can DIAF (literally

). Pyro is constantly getting nerfed so it's getting harder and harder to play a good Pyro.

Also, why do people keep recommending Medic to new players? Saw that shit on WYL and it made me smh. Medic is the most important class in the game in most game modes, don't tell noobs to handle that responsibility! Soldier is the noob-friendly class, not Medic.

archie4208 · « **Reply #38 on:** July 16, 2010, 04:34:14 PM »

Compression Pyro is still the most fun class in the game. Sending rockets back into the face of dumb soldiers.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #39 on:** July 16, 2010, 08:58:35 PM »

Medic is a good learning class because you can just run behind people and learn the levels. You'll probably stay alive a bit longer.

Armitage is right though, a good medic is usually the difference in most games.

chronovore · « **Reply #40 on:** July 20, 2010, 02:46:53 AM »

What exactly does "pocket medic" refer to?

chronovore · « **Reply #41 on:** July 20, 2010, 06:26:20 PM »

Ah. I usually just wait to hear who's screaming for one.

A pocket medic is one who sticks with one other player exclusively, usually soldier or heavy.

This is what I do, pretty much.
