I've seen it frequently too. I always thought it was an exploit (since I think the old taunt thing was done with a script) but now I think this is a client issue. Anyone else know? It's very annoying because you can't see what weapon they have out and can't see if they are reloading. Getting headsho...

I've had good luck with the backburner....

Haha, I just led an uber to the point on offense and died right as I took out a sentry only to be auto'd to the other team seconds before they lost the point.

So it sounds like nobody really knows how it works!

Maybe it is just my imagination, but I swear I get auto-balanced far more often than other players. Is there any way to get some stats on this from the server logs? :oops: Here is how I think the auto-balance currently works: 1. Teams are imbalanced 2. Player from team with more people is "sele...

Haha, loved the title, Snidely. I guess I would just reiterate what Mummy posted as far as etiquite. Give it a few rounds to level out before complaining that things are uneven and switch up the classes to more damage classes first. It seems like the last few months I've been seeing a lot more cries...

Interesting that it is by design. I bring it up because often times, players on TV6 choose the random team assignment in an attempt to avoid team-stacking. More importantly, it is used most just after a server reset and red team is generally in need of an extra player at this point because many peop...

Oooh, never knew that the game detects rocket/arrow collisions...thanks Zork. I always thought mini sentries have an auto-detect range that is a little too large, given the increased fire rate and turning rate. :eh: How about this: rockets can be reflected multiple times. That's always confusing whe...

So I've always wondered about this...on TV6, when you select "auto" to join a team, you will always get put on the blue team if the team sizes are equal. The only way it will put you on red team is if red team is down a player. Most players tend to think of the auto-join as a "random&...

I wonder, is there a UI mod out there than can display things like healing rate, uber charge rate and current chance of getting a crit?

Analyze too much!? I'm a Professor! 8) I hear you on the breathing, Earthworm. I can't snipe unless I am sitting in my chair, both feet on the floor with good posture. This is opposed to how I play heavy or pyro with one or both feet on the desk, leaning way back and munching on some food. :oops: Ne...

Over the hours, I have amassed some knowledge of TF2's more subtle gameplay facts. I'm sure there are more, so feel free to add them in: Uber duration can vary: Total uber time on a single player is 8 seconds. If you switch the uber to another player, your uber duration is cut short by 0.5 seconds f...

It's a pretty silly weapon and it needs some type of change. I hate that as a pyro I can reflect one of the rockets at the solider (and not kill him!) and then get killed when the other two hit me. There isn't really a good answer for how to deal with a good rocket jumper that has one of these. Mayb...

Yeah, i think it chooses someone and then waits for them to die. I've sat their with my team getting destroyed by unbalanced teams waiting and waiting...sometimes the "chosen one" just doesn't die right away. The more frustrating thing is when it takes an engineer or a medic. There should ...

One other thing to remember is that the spawn door may appear open on kill-cam shots, but actually be closed . As an offensive player you pretty much have to see it open while alive or go spectator and watch people run through it to verify that the door is glitched. Too bad you can't reset the mini-...
