everybody in that comic was a spy

It's great to see Jo saying "carry on" to noob players, while can't play "DOTA" games like a man.

In LoL, we prescript this medicine.

youtu.be/1SFT9-MopNo

*After reading the author's comment about the sniper.* That hurt...

The soldier really did quit lol.

Except if you play Engie, than it will never get better.

FTFY

For me this can be a greatest lesbian porn web page via the internet (nevertheless realsquirt is certainly close). All which is a downer in my situation is the females certainly not Communicate with one. As expected, because so many are and also the and don't speak out English language, that may be

This inspired me to play again even though I suck

I have found the base game of TF2 to be fairly boring. So any of you who put hundreds of hours into getting better, congratulations on being able to put up with boring stuff.

Do not believe this comic; it doesn't get better, you only learn to lower your expectations until you delude yourself into thinking mediocrity is skill.

Aww, I'm only good at Pyro really. :'( Sniper I'm okay at too sometimes. I just like lighting virtual stuff on fire...

Oh on the contrariety! After training in TR maps, and surfing a lot, fragging in the jails, I finally broke my Goal Cap of 115 kills, 50- Deaths, 60+ Assists.

I was MVP of the server by like, 100 pts.
Who says Pyro doesn't get better? ^ ^

Now, my next goal..... kill OMFGNinja...

It would be totally fun if this picture was extendable and editable, so everybody could add his own commentaries and stories. It's like visiting a psychologist, Jo, you should think about it.

I do wish you had actually linked to the actual 'it gets better' page in your post with this one. Kind of sad to see this.

:/

i was at panel 16.
then reverted back to 3
and now i'm stuck on 8

I got as far as panel 6. Incidentally, Soldier is my most used class, followed by Medic. Honestly, I can't stand to actually play TF2. It's like the Mario Kart of FPS - every time you pull yourself back on your feet and feel like you're doing good, BANG! Blue shell city.

I hope it gets better, cause so far, I suck at TF2. ^^

Heheheh...there's just a special feeling you get when you watch a dead spy fall to the ground after being hit in the face with a critical wrench strike.

[url=#user_comment_50985]@Cirno[/url]: everything is all situational. nuff said

[url=#user_comment_50988]@Foxy[/url] the sanvich is the best, it made it so the heavy is NOT dependent on a medic, so the heavy can be even more credit to team than ever, and was a legitimite trade off between shotty/sanvich. till the spin up buff, at least. the sanvich is the best

[url=#user_comment_50985]@Cirno[/url] did you just insult the sanvich? Natasha, is not what she used to be, poor girl, people fucked it up by spamming across the map, and now she can't slow anyone except at point blank. KGB is....meh. i like fists better.

[url=#user_comment_50984]@Cirno[/url]: One of the ways you people make Pyros look bad. Generally speaking, every update past goldrush was useless. I mean generally speaking as loosely as possible of course, but still. Your "good" Pyro is like a Heavy with Natasha, sandvich, and kgb: Utterly useless.

[url=#user_comment_50923]@Proro[/url]: Thats what passes for impressive nowadays? Back in my day, people didnt just switch from a puff of fire to the Axtinguisher and la dee da. Back in my day, pyros shot people in the face with shotguns, burned your backs in ambushes, and shoved fire axes up your ass. Degreaser tactics are

Murray Christ-ass!

@CnEY?!: umad?

I love the last panel

Sorry demo, but I don't think spawn camping is worth bragging about. Spawn-camping has been and always will be the single most unsportsmanlike no-skill maneuver in any FPS (outside of hacks, anyway), and anyone who claims it's "part of the game" is clearly "part of the problem".

*cough*frikkennewfagyoushouldlearnhowtoplay*cough*

sorry i love TF2 but i cant do it.... sorry just when it updates i cant

I used to suck as pyro. Then I play medieval mode with my rake, and I score kills after kills. Then I play caber demo. Fun stuff.

Jo, when are you going to make a medieval mode TF2 manga?

i used to be amazing, i was the unstoppable force, and the immovable object.
I was the best damn heavy you've ever seen.

then they gave him a buff, and i became horrible.
now any damn solider demo or pyro can beat me -_-

why did a buff make me worse?

I learned everything about the game. Knew what class beats others, tried many different classes.

I still suck. Liar.

[url=#user_comment_50804]@Scuffles[/url]: Look for a different server then. The ones I play on, people actually do play with sportsmanship. You take them down good, and you'll be complemented on it...by the /victim/.

[url=#user_comment_50951]@Obby[/url]: yeah that is so true, I usually really like to play offensive engineer using gunslinger, then try to cross fire whenever I can so someone will either try to kill me or my mini sentry while the other shoot his back, it's very effective and you can usually put up another one instantly

Also, a protip.

As engineer, buildings are disposable.
Sentries don't NEED to be upgraded, and dispensers can serve as tripwires to let you know of enemy movement (placing them in a doorway blocks movement until they are destroyed, and when you get warned of damage, you know someone's there).

FWIW, Engineer doesn't have to be a campy class either.

I take it some of you haven't encountered the few badass fungineers that run around TF2 now and then.
They manage to turn engineer into a run-and-gun class - they're capable of holding back an entire 8-man team themselves. ._.

different story. Same with demoman, most people can't aim pipes for shit, and if you only know how to use stickies, you're going to get owned by a lot of classes that know their stuff. once again, easy =/= good. Even pyro is hard to be good. Every class is pretty much balanced, imho.

[url=#user_comment_50942]@SJTNK[/url]: Yeah I agree with SJTNK, demoman could be easy to just stick stickies at entrances and such but there's a big difference between easy kills and being the top 3 in a game. soldiers are good starting class because splash damage is easy to start with, but to be good and top ranking that's a

@Truth 2.0: If all you're doing is spamming grenades then you suck and probably should play Pyro.

[url=#user_comment_50913]@EMP[/url]: Nice of you to over simplify it, I don't bother oversimplifying anything. That's why I dominate people and you don't.

Actually after all the changes it got a lot worse. Sorry :(

Medieval Fortress, great place for a Pyro to train his melee, and actually get an MVP (rake FTW)

gonna have nightmares with the last pannel

[url=#user_comment_50924]@SRblindG[/url] FFFFFFFFFF- What has been seen,cannot be unseen.

Notice how Pyro is conveniently left out of this comic.

This makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, even after having been out in the freezing cold for half an hour.

Engi looks like she has one giant tooth, than her just smiling.

Always fun to watch invite level players play a class. More so when it's pyro.

Soldier is not easy, but it is ultimately the least counterable class. It is domination in a can, if you're good, under most circumstances. Spys and snipers can be too, but their potential is much more map dependent.

Not easy, but easy to hate if you're playing something else.

pyro pr0? yeah yeah.... w+m1

Awesome comic. Loved it.

So true by the way, it gets better!

[url=#user_comment_50898]@DrunkenLemur[/url]: Buy TF2 for PC. In all seriousness, there's also sensitivity in the options menu for analog stick. But get it for PC, the Xbox version is like comparing a mini-snickers to a chocolate planet.

[url=#user_comment_50906]@SJTNK[/url]: Other than pressing keys on the keyboard the entire game kinda is pointing and clicking. Though how well you point and click, in the circumstances of the game, is a different matter.

So very true in MOBA games.

Didn't Jo say something about the Heavy being the most powerful class...

...or something about being the most favorite. I don't know what he said, but it wasn't me...NOT IN THE FACE!

Demomen are the easiest class, you just elevate the Grenade Launcher and spam. At least with Pyro you have to get into melee range to be able to flame.

you say it. I love play pyro so much and I get sad "pyro is noob class"-thing and I don't admit it when someone says "class (read scoutt soldier sniper...) is noob"

[url=#user_comment_50905]@Sam[/url]: Bullshit, party of one. Good Sollies and Demos can think and play in three dimensions. If all you're doing is pointing and clicking, you're doing it wrong and you're probably giblets because I spit explosives on you from a direction you never considered.

Thing with TF2 is, it's easy to play all the classes. But to be kick-ass at any of them is another matter. Every single class is point-and-click (except spy and engie) at some level or another.

so everytime I dominate someone over and over they just tell me I suck because I play an easy soldier class, sometimes I even get that line from another soldier that I kept dominating, go figure :\

yeah it's so true, I'm so tired of people calling soldiers easy class to play and you're owning cuz you're playing an easy class... I clocked around 500 hours just on soldier himself and it's basically the class I almost always play. I can launch/air shot/rocket jump all pretty accurately

Here's Don Newman, one of the best Pyros I've seen.

Enjoy.

Awesome! But how do I adjust the mouse sensitivity on my 360 controller?

This actually went up just a little bit after a really good player I know spent several hours on an empty server teaching myself and another semi-new player how to handle different classes as the classes we like to play best (me as Heavy, friend as Soldier). It was lovely, and I improved. :)

This is certainly encouraging. I'm new to the game and as you can imagine, i'm not getting the MVP.

Huddadhuddahu. Huddadhuda.

*Translation: I want to set the world on fire. Pyros rule.

Check this vid for a good pyro :p

I also ubered a spy once.

But he was on my team and it was an achievement server so it was all good

i don't play Hat Fortress 2 anymore.

You know when it really gets better? When you realize denizens of teh intrawebz are scum and you rediscover single player games.

Wait, isn't this a commercial or something?
Huh...maybe not.

Also, you got blood on my helmet.

I dominated people with a Powerjack to the face. It got WAAAAAAY better.

It's the same thing with any of the MOBA games. With HoN, I fell to 900 tier when I started, then slowly rose up back to >1500 tier

Reminds me of itgetsbetter.org

Very inspirational, not just for TF2, but alot of games. I'll be linking this comic for years to come~

Also, I've ubered a Spy before. Purposely. Repetitively. Gooood tiiiiiiimes.

Just about everyone gets better at things with practice, lol.

Holy bejeezus I just got TF2 as a gift... this is really inspiring to me. Plus the comments with the really good ideas I like, ESPECIALLY rebinding the weapon select with the mouse wheel. Sides, if I ever play Spy/Engie, I usually tap the 4 button anyway.

Merry Australian Christmas everyone, did you use your Stocking Stuffer Key yet?

im tempted to make a brady bunch refrence here.... to late

[url=#user_comment_50836]@Jarc[/url] By the way, my scattergun eats your heavies and shreds your careless medics. Three shots. Thats all I need to kill any class that moves.

*Backstabs the Demoman* You disgust me.

Wait, people...tutor?

I only got better due to dogged determination and months of trial and error. Now I blow up little noobs and eat their entrails while pissing on their brains and fucking their mothers!

And I still don't get any respect. >_<,

[url=#user_comment_50857]@Rojelio[/url]: Just what keys do what actions. Whenever I'm about to dive headlong into a new game I briefly skim over the key binds in the options to make sure everything's up to snuff. Then I start playing and make adjustments as neccessary depending on maybe the pace of the game or something

Pyro's are definitely useful. As an Engy, a good pyro is absofuckinglutely essential to defending from spies. A good Pyro can airblast the heavy/medic combo and save the Sentry. And, I've said it before and I'll say it again...on defense, if you lose the sentry you lose the point.

what are key binds?

where

You people are claiming fake, 2-dimensional digital women.

Where did your life go.

This is so many kinds of true it makes me want to hug something. And if you're just starting out? Play offline practice for a while.

It's what it's for and you can even get items while doing it, provided you're still on the net.

I still can't find Engie-tan skin for TF2. :-/

This comic actually means quite a bit to me - TF2 was the first FPS I ever really got and bothered to play, and while I found pretty much every class that isn't Pyro too difficult, and through him I finally managed to learn how to play FPS's.

Still can't play Spy to save my life, though.

Hopefully this will be what I need to convince my girlfriend to play again.

inb4 hand

bloody engie is sexy engie.

Somewhere, Dan Savage went into unstoppable rage.

Pyro: The only class that requires unlockable weapons to be even remotely useful.

Lulz taking the medic out of context.

"JOIN A CLAN
:)
GET FRIENDS"

I bought TF2 2 yrs ago and by my lack of playing im always the same
idiot pyro who forgets to return rockets
soldier who cant rocket jump correctly
heavy killed by spies..blah blah glug lgug glug gah gah gah

No love for the scout in the notes? :(

[url=#user_comment_50829]@Simpleboo[/url]: Id say you dont know waht you are talking about OR you suck and are looking for an excuse.

How about no matter how long you play, the guy that can afford shit from the man co. store always wins?

This reminds me when I play BFBC 1 & 2 and Team Fortress Classic.

I need to get steam and get me TF2, but my PC T_T

That blood-covered engie-tan with serial killer grin is smexy. She can pump my shotgun or erect my dispenser anyday...

i so needed this. I was really going to quit the game but until i saw this, i am going to play some more. It will get better!

Ignoring that current TF2 sucks with all that new crap.

Shotgun>flaregun

why you ask?

other pyros

nuff said.

[url=#user_comment_50806]@ranter[/url] I used to use that combination. I switched back to Shotgun for a bit to see if it was really that great, and by God I'm never switching back to Flaregun again.

Heavy is the true W+M1 class, nuff said.
Leave pyro alone 3:<

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndZoP4yctqA
Already is a pro pyro vid! ^_^ And damn, is he good!

Meh, flaregun & airblast for da win. It´s veeeeeeeery fun to play pyro against demos

I used to be a normal photographer. I couldn't imagine fighting zombies. But then, I covered wars. It gets better, believe me.

I just ignore virtually everyone in game because generally it goes like this.

1) they kill you and you hear them mic spam until the map changes about how awesome they are.

2) you kill them and "It was lag", "my comp stuttered", "you just got lucky"

So in short just have fun

Feh, every class W+M1's at some point. Flame on with your big bad self.

Pyro 4 life!

Hai!~ u midspelld teh werd 'Adjusted' as 'Ajusted' in fram 8 were heavie is presant

Whens the new arc comin dude!!!!!!!!!!

@TheKingofSprings (Pyro Main):
Fun fact : That's what I'm always doing, but with Degreaser. :D

'Sup Pyros.

Pissed off at people raging at you and accusing you of w+M1?

Grab Axtinguisher. Pull out Flamethrower and get them against a wall.

Left Click. Right Click. Switch to Axe. Left Click.

They'll never accuse you of W+M1 again.

Baby steps, my friends... ...baby steps. Edit:[url=#user_comment_50784] @Starpilot[/url] Hey thanks! I should try that.

This is based on the "It Gets Better" videos that make teenage gays not feel so depressed.

I also rebound my weapon selections. MouseScrollUp to primary, MouseScrollDown to secondary, and Mouse3 (clicking the mouse wheel) to melee. Still have to use the number keys for disguising and the engy PDAs, but I find it more reliable than default since I can't scroll past my intended weapon.

I question the use of the default keybind for changing the Spy's team disguise to the "-" key. Sure most people don't seem to use friendly disguises, but maybe that's because they have to reach all the way across the freaking keyboard to use it. I rarely play Spy, but I still rebound it to b.

I do suck at TF2 and that gets me down sometimes. Thanks for the message, Josué

"Except if you play Pyro, than it will never get better"? NONSENSE, Degreaser make people less mad than usual! :D

No one has claimed the last engi yet...
(as of this post that is)

Also great message to new players, just keeping trying till you run out of cake.

Thanks for the message, it was really, really nice. I'll pass to all my new-to-the-game friends, and I wish I had seen it when I started to play.

And really, it gets better. And is soooooooooo good. =o)

Fifth?
