Irrelevant game

All games are irrelevant.

esr is irrelevant

you are irrelevant

all games are irrelevant but quake right?

lol fanboi

everything is irrelevant

do you feel the edge?

YES

Yeah, it's a stupid fast paced arena fps, with rocket launchers, grenade launchers, fancyful chainguns, powerups, pick up items, non-regenerative health, bunnyhopping, etc.

And it only has 54.000 players, on average

Completely irrelevant.

Totally unlike quake live

Fast-paced? arena fps? what are you talking about?

lol pwned

See, you are displaying the same kinds of prejudice that hindered Quake's growth. Lots of people will look at the idei of competitive Quake as if it's ridiculous and childish because the game is "not realistic", "absurd", etc.

Team Fortress 2 competitive 6v6 skill tranfer easily for Quake, hera are some videos of different classes:

Sniper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkZLJeQ1Nhc

Scout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFcPgNVI_gU

Soldier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU03QOvxzK0

nice

but imho overwatch is gonna crush TF2

just like HotS is crushing dota2 and league? Kappa

well to be fair it's still in closed beta

for me hots is not moba-like game.

it's more like WoW arena with isometric view.

quite like it because games are short.

short? man I just played a few and was bored shitless, it dragged on forever

Caesar III ftw

1 match in doto 2 can take 60 min easily

hots often 20 mins

60 mins playing that lmao, that's insane

yeah, too long for me :P

Like CS stole all the Quake players.

Lol at Ovorwatch. That game will apeal mostly to moba players

dota2 has 10 million unique players each month

what has that have to do with my comment? im not saying overwatch will fail, just that it wont apeal to fps players

fps players play dota at times

Thats because dota isnt a shit game, unlike overwatch

Dota is a bit shit. I've still played it for 500 hours

Ive played it for years and quit like a year ago. Well along side HoN its the best thing you can get if youre into mobas.

overwatch might be fun

at least dota2 is quite skilled... overwatch probably will be very easy

And? Overwatch will still not be very much like TF2. Some might go over of course, but not because it's the same kind of game.

is funny when quaker like yourself always shit on other game.

You should try taking esr comments a little less serious

if you do not mean what you say, do not say it

I'm not saying it's retarded thing to say but it's retarded thing to say.

still overwatch will be dumb as fuck

lul Overwatch looks dumb.

How is the movement in TF2?

I had 1000 hours in TF2 before I booted up my dad's disk of Q3, but I hardly spent 1 % of that time learning the movement.

Scout is approximately as fast as the doods in quake, and has double jumps which can switch direction in midair. Every other class is slow as hell compared to quake and can only jump once. There's a tiny amount of air control, and it's not particularly useful unless you have as much air time as scout.

The rocket jumping for soldier is quite similar to in quake, except clip size and reloading limits the amount of RJs you can put together in a chain. There's a similar explosion propelling type deal with the demoman, who has sticky bombs which explode with the same force as rockets. Grenade jumps are much less useful. You can do smaller jumps with explosive flairs in the pyro's secondary. The pyro can also "airblast" other people, which basically means push them away.

Some weapons modify move speed. There's also a silly gamemode with grappling hooks and dropped powerups that often change movement in some way or another.

That's about it. :o

making fun of Q2 CTF?

Probably not. But in TF2 this is just stupid, it's a silly game mode for TF2.

Don't listen to Ephemix.

Scout is slightly faster than quake movement. Double Jumps like Ephemix mentioned. Their's also weapons with modifiers to that.

Soldier does have rocket jumps, and even a quake based rocket launcher. You take significantly less damage from your own rockets than you did in quake ESPECIALLY if you run gun boats so you jump much much more often. Air strafing to avoid being shot out of the air, and go around corners is really important.

Demo Sticky jumps do a lot of damage to you but you go much further than you would with a single rocket on soldier. Air strafing still applies.

Heavy doesn't have much movement and you can't even jump if you have your minigun spun up. You can however jump and then spin up your minigun at the same time.

Medic is the 2nd fastest class in the game and it's considered a relatively good quality for a medic to have is the ability to surf off of enemy rockets and grenades to avoid taking yet more damage.

Engineers have the ability to jump via there sentry guns you will take a lot of damage but it's still possible and is used in competitive sparingly.

Keep in mind a lot of those videos are not the most realistic for what you would actually be doing in a server, but does give you a really good idea of the movement mechanics and what is possible in tf2.

read: a fraction of the movement ability of TFC since its a joke baby game

I forgot this shit is 14GB... Holy shit 13 gigs of hats.
FPS is shit on my wooden PC too :D

Got some high performance config and look at what I found there!

fps_max 60 //personal preference, set this to "0" for unlimited fps

\:D:D::D:::D/

Default fov is... how much? 20? Jesus fucking christ. Gun models are HUGE. Rockets and movement speed are slow.
It's a shame there is so much walking and all I can do is press W and wait.
At least rockets can send people flying easly.

Not the best game to play with very, very random people it seems.

Well, isn't quake default fov 90 as well? :)

fov_desired 75-90 - Set desired field of view. (higher values show more of the battlefield at the cost of fps) (can also be changed from advanced video Options)

viewmodel_fov <number> - Sets distance in which your weapons are drawn, higher values show more of the weapon and arms but may show missing parts. (can also be changed from advanced Options)

r_drawviewmodel 0/1 - Turns viewmodels on and off. (can also be changed from advanced Options)

Honestly, the only time you would need to use view model is when you play spy..or sniper with huntsman (bow).


TF2 is very CPU heavy (don't let the cartoony look fool ya).. and movement well.. scouts are faster but also much more difficult to control/aim when you are a beginner.
But i do know what you mean.. myself coming from quake i mostly play soldier as well. Rocket jumps can really help to get you moving but are much more difficult to perform than in quake.

That was jump of the week? bwahahahahah

12 years late, bud.

not that easy to pull of in TF2 tbh, so it's a quite nice rj.

Laughing at anyone who plays TF2 and says Overwatch looks dumb. You're so close to a revelation. Both games are shit. MOBA is shit. Casual is the new competitive, and it's shit.

I found that TF2 is quite difficult for many CoD players, so its not that easy.

TF2 is still quite casual, but still it's more classic than many other games. Never played it a lot, but it can be funny.

The problem is that Overwatch will be much easier than TF2.

Overwatch will be very different than TF2, those that goes away from TF2 to Overwatch won't be doing it cause it the same kind of game only newer, cause it won't be the same kind of game, this is what those that play TF2 a lot, and have been competitive, and went to play at the Overwatch thing in the US.

still blizz makes everything easier.

but still popularity of tf2 matchmaking or overwatch maybe will help other games... like arena shooters? ;)

We can only hope :)

Thank God....I'm on the right planet after all.

Hell yeeah'p

you only need a bald eagle on your sholder screaming "IGNORANCE"

Yup

TF2 is only fun when its competitive TF2, casual TF2 is retarded imo

Doesn't matter. Hat simulator doesn't work well on my machine anymore.

'match makign' just the easy 'i am pro' feeling for noob

I just can't enjoy TF2 because I've spent too much time in TFC

Same with diablo 3 and diablo 2

:(
