[url=#user_comment_20310]@NGE[/url] Competative play is this: The only fun is felt when you see the victory screen. WHo cares if you had a couple great duels between good players? If you lost, where was the fun? Who cares if the match was a close one, the only fun is victory.

Oh, and I've won the game via bonk in other ways...
quick run past sentry line, cap base on other side before enemies can reverse tracks to get you. Also effectively draw enemies from all over map into chasing you instead of where they need to be.
Lil Joshu
about 15 years ago
[cont'd] player. The point of it is to draw fire from enemy sentry guns and enemy players, giving the rest of your team a crucial few seconds to lay waste to the enemies and their defenses. Communication is a must for this to work. But used properly, the bonk is the spearpoint of a powerful charge.
Lil Joshu

Hey, I LOVE the bonk. It has won me games. The problem for a lot of others, is most play the scout as a loner, running in quick and hitting something and leaving. That's not the way you use bonk. Bonk is is 'wipe out the enemy team's stronghold' move. But, for it to work, you HAVE to be a team...

but when everyone's playing the game as best they can and it comes down to that naturally, that's when you really have the most fun. Competitive bashing still doesn't make any sense.

[url=#user_comment_20303]@NGE[/url] Having fun is more then about winning or loosing, as a game won that was a steam roller, a game won within 2 minutes is not a fun game, but a game that is tied neck and neck, everyone giving it their all only for the final victor to be decided in the last few seconds of the game. That is fun.

From my position, the heavy and scout updates were far better, because they didn't introduce a wide variety of different game crashing bugs that in some cases (like my own) result in the entire computer locking up.

Bug
about 15 years ago
I may get resented by this comment, but I think this update sucked.The game is all buggy, the pick axe and shield are WAAAAAY overpowered and the S.R. is underpowered. I'm also not a fan of the Direct Hit or the Solider altogether(Even more O.P.). The sword and bugle are nice though.

[url=#user_comment_20222]@bullz[/url]: I got my Equalizer just fine. The Direct Hit is what I'm missing. Apparently there's an absurdly common glitch where if the Steam item servers are down when you hit a milestone you don't get the item for it. It won't likely be fixed until after Free Weekend is over.

I love this update so far, but I wish the milestones weren't broken. I still haven't gotten my Direct Hit from Soldier Milestone 2.
At least now that I have that shovel achievement unlocked I don't have another reason to NOT use the Equalizer. Thing's fuckin' amazing!

As for the Direct Hit, that thing chews through sentries faster then engies can repair them. I kill those in 3 or 4 hits with them being actively repaired as fast as possible, its amazing what that 25% bonus damage can do.
TankHunter678
about 15 years ago
I would not say that the new weapons suck vs sentries, the Scottish Resistance can bounce like pipes, and be detonated through a wall, you can even hold down M2 and sweep to detonate a ton of stickies for a carpet bombing way of killing people.

The thing is this mates, every class update the usefulness and uniqueness for that class goes through the roof! If they did faster updates, however, I think we would never leave the idea of non-combat weapons. So we must wait till everyone gets there seconded class update, just you wait and see!

Haven't played with the new stuff much, but yeah, it seems that Jo has a bit of a point with the comparative quality of updates. Every unlock in this update was cool and at least moderately useful, while Scouts and Heavies got... well, we all remember how it went.

I loved that update as well :)
Though i hated it that i only got the banner and the pickaxe and not the direct hit i so dearly craved :(
I did a lot of achievements for the soldier to get them, but some are just too difficult: do i need all of them for the rocketlauncher? >.>
Engineer

You know, this whole WAR I've been hating since, well... my class hasn't updated yet. But as Gelu noted, these weapons suck vs. Sentries. So now, I'm just hoping we get something as fantastic for our update. Not the P.D.Q beta weapon though... that's just sad Valve.

However, the Resistance does take some getting used to, and it is far more a defenders weapon than the normal Launcher. If you wish to play offensive demo, I would not recommend the Resistance. The Sword and Targe, with the Grenade Launcher, is a very nice set up for a frontlines, offensive demo.
Awesome Dino

Marsios
about 15 years ago
The Sword and Targe are a nice combination, but I prefer to stick with the Scotish Resistance and the Sword by itself. It's easier I think. The Gunboats, however, I find quite useful, and I dont mind replacing the shotgun with them, and with The Direct Hit and The Equalizer, it's awesome.
gelugon2105
about 15 years ago
It's worth noting that prior to the update, the Engineer is really getting trashed. Now, with the class rushes and plenty of weapons that are actually quite useless against sentries, it's actually worthwhile playing Engies. One can get quite a lot of kills this way.
gelugon2105
about 15 years ago
What the new weapons need are not tweaking - they need bug-fixing. Their animation-calling lines are crashing servers left and right. They have been somewhat fixed by the time of this writing, but who knows how many more bugs we are going to see.
And the Demoman's eyes glow yellow, mind you.
