Gameplay Tips

Tips ranging from noobish to Pro(ish)

[u]Introduction[/u]

This Tutorial shows you tips many player [b]MAY[/b] not know. These tips range from Noob to Pro [u]Pyro[/u]

-While equipt with the flamethrower, mouse 2 airblasts.

-You can airblast the following: Stickys,grenades,arrows,jarate,rockets,flares and baseballs.

-You can rocket jump by defelting a rocket at your feet.

-You can light snipers arrows so they burn targets when they hit.

-When airblasting the projectile flies where you are aiming (so its wise to aim at your enemy).

-Taunting with the shotgun/flare gun can kill at melee range.

-When Kritz Ubered, everything you airblast is critical

-You can extinguish allies with pyro's airblast.

-Spies are weary of you as a pyro, so if you see someone doing odd movements after you appeared(for instance running towards your direction but then turning around when you appear).

-If you got into a fight and you have 10hp remaining, and are positive you will die, AC the enemy away from you

[u]Engineer[/u]

-You can Bunny hop/crouch jump on top of you buildings (this can get you to lots of normally unaccessable places).

-You can turn buildings with MOUSE 2

-Wrench your buildings to build them faster

-Your teleporter exits can kill yourself if a player from the opposite team (spy) goes through the entrance. Alternateively you can kill spys by doing this.

-Breaking you building gives you Metal.

-YOUR sentry can kill you. >:(

-Picking up falling teammates or enemies guns will add metal.

[u]Heavy[/u]

-Taunting with Fists (NOT KGB) can kill at a medium range.

-When equipt with the sandvich mouse 2 drops you sanviche so your allies can pick them up healing them. (this can extinguish burning teammates) (You have to go to a respawn locker to get another one).

-You cant be stunned while eating.

-You get your sandviche back when getting a healthkit,dying or resupplying

[u]Medic[/u]

-Taunting with the Kritgrieg heals you a small amount (Unlike the medigun).

[u]Scout[/u]

-Taunting with the sandman (NOT the bat) kills at melee range.

-Your ball can go through certain glass and set up time gates if you press close to the gate (Pushing the gate/glass). =)

[u]Spy[/u]

-Taunting with the butterfly knife can kill or damage targets at melee range.Slashs do damage and the final thrust kills.

-Don't use disguises like the Scout, Medic, they both run faster and the spy can not imitate there speed. Plus with medics people assume you will heal them automatically, and might become suspicious if you don't.

-Always kill the engi first then sap, it might be hard at first but once you get use to it its cake

-Snipers with razorbacks shouldn't deterrent a kill, it should just be handled differently. If you have the ambassador, sneak next to a sniper(usually they stayed zoomed in due to the comfort the razorback brings them) line up a crit shot at the head, then finish them off before they know what happened.

[u]Sniper[/u]

-Jarate can extinguish burning allies.

-You can only score a headshot if zoomed in. (not no-scope)

-Taunting with the huntsman CAN kill at melee range (NOT ALWAYS!!!).

-Always keep moving, take your shot, move, take another shot. Don't sit still and keep shooting otherwise you will get killed. After every shot, quick switch to different gun to cut time and allow you to move quicker instead of waiting for the animation delay.

[u]Soldier[/u]

-With the rocket launcher, aiming at where the feet of your foes will be will stop them and hold them in the air for a short period. This can be used to stop ubered characters (except heavy who has the minigun spinning).


I Will be updating this as I get more information or if valve updates tf2

    Pros: Very usefull for new players who do not comprehend the game yet. Cons: A few of those tips are glitches. Poor spelling. Most players can quickly learn a major part of this tutorial within their first day. Improvements: Needs better spelling. Add more usefull tips and tricks about the maps. Notes: Read above. 7.7

    Posted by rimlanin PS. Whats with people being so annoyed with teleporters facing walls? Is it that hard to turn the mouse?
    Its cos you might teleport then get backburned by a camping pyro or cheesegrated by a heavy

    Then its the engineer's fault for leaving the teleporter camped, but if you go trough it twice in a row, while knowing its camped, you deserve to be killed.

    First of all fix the spelling, spelling mistakes are very plentiful. Also you should say that these are noob-normal(ish) players, because you would most likeley know all of these from playing TF2 for about a week-two weeks.

    You should add that you can turn buildables with mouse2. I'm sick of teleporting and ending up facing a wall. Otherwise, it's a good guide for newbies.

    Posted by Susan Boyle Ok i dont really know about this but i think if youve dropped your sandwvch as heavy, you can get it back by walking over a health kit with your health at full and i think you get ammo for walking over a dropped weapon with every class? (sorry if most people all ready know all this)

    sandviche thing is wrong but ammo thing is right
