TF2 Free Weekend Tips - For classes
I'll be back on a bit later. Hopefully FNF will have some folks on by then or maybe we'll have to kick start it. We have enough people to do that.
The newbies this weekend are making things a bit interesting. It's tough when half your team has no idea what they're doing.
It is funny to see all the damn achievements though. Between the new people and the heavies I hear the crowd cheering every other second.

The first 45 minutes I played I was getting a little frustrated at the fact it is useless being a sniper when your teammates can't keep the bad guys off you. I think I had ZERO kills the entire first round before I just said FUCK IT and went heavy and turned on the lawn mower.Leisher wrote:The newbies this weekend are making things a bit interesting.

"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."
As Gordon said, keep your heal gun equipped and firing most of the time. As your teammates are near you, and without stopping the heal of whomever you are healing, aim your cursor over them and if they are low, heal them...IF that's a good moment. If you're on the front lines and the heavy you're healing is getting shot, that's not a good time.
Also, once you get charged up all the way you can right click to make you and whomever you're healing invincible for 10 seconds. However, you must continue healing them and don't get out of range.
Other than that, if folks call for medic, they probably need healing. If they're on fire, they need healing (except Pyros, judge them by their health bar).
As for the newbs, I've been doing really well today, but this situation is perfect for pyros. Although, I did play a sniper on Badwater Basin and got the Grey Matter achievement.

As for the medic, the weapon you should be carrying 97% of the time is that healing nozzle, which means you should be behind the groups who need healing.
But I had died, and was running back to where I thought everyone was. Apparently they had been pushed back.
It's not me, it's someone else.
So why is healing a heeavy on the front line a ba time? (other than easy to be killed?)
Let me first clarify that you should be healing all the time. All the time. Even if someone isn't hurt, continue healing. This builds your uber, gets you points, and helps them once they do get shot.
Once you're on the front and healing someone, most medics stay with that person until they're dead or do something to threaten an uber you're holding or charging. That's an accepted thing. So peeps won't be looking for you to stop healing them. IF you're pushing forward or in a fire fight. If you're just standing around waiting for something, heal some folks.

"Y" is to button to talk to everyone.
"U" is the button to talk to your teammates.
(Obviously, that's for typing.)
Once you get home, "V" is the button you hit to actually talk, but it usually only goes to your team.

The other keys that are important are:

R = Reloads your weapon
Q = Switches between your last two weapons.

One speed based on your class.
Actually, I take that back. You can speed up or slow down certain guys via weapons.
For example, the heavy moves faster with a shotgun, then if he's carrying the minigun. He can also slow way down by carrying the minigun and then spinning its barrels.
