Team Fortress 2 Megatopic + Trade: SCREAM FORTRESS? MORE LIKE JUNGLE INFERNO!

[IsaacKronenFaust]

Jesus! I JUST tried to sell an Audition Reel for eighteen Cents, and now the lowest price went down to seventeen, then sixteen, and now to fifteen Cents. Pretty soon these things are gonna be going for three Cents and it's gonna be almost impossible to get rid of them.

You mean easy mode spy?

actually, the yer pretty much the only hard item to use, everything else is easy to use

I figured with the set it'd be hard to stealth around the place due to the fact you don't have a disguise and can't really cloak, meaning you can't get behind a enemy to get the backstab
and even if you do get the backstab, you can't really use the revolver unless you want to lose your disguise meaning you have no disguise and can't stealth by enemies.

the dead ringer provides cover for you in dangerous situations, it allows you to do impossible stuff and get out alive. (assuming you're not that bad) it's amazing for getting out of those spamfests at the start of the round, with just enough time to get behind enemy lines. despite the fact that it makes a loud decloak sound no one really notices it
do not ignore the fact you cant cloak, people hate it for a lot of reasons

however, you cannot disguise either, so that's a problem
but after you get your first disguise, you can start going

losing your disguise does not matter, what matters is staying alive, you can always get your disguise back.

whoa what the forget when did they get so cheap lol

[blockguy™]

do we need keys to open the audition reels

[Badger]

yes

[Buu]

Yeah, I think with that particular set, the YER becomes useful. Sure, sapping sentries is a BIT harder, but thats about it.

decloak next to the sentry as it's facing the other way and as it turns, jump on and sap.

L'tangler (however you spell it)
Big earner
Cloak and dagger

L'etranger is my favorite revolver right now, the damage penalty doesn't even matter if you can aim, and being able to get your cloak back from enemies too far away to do anything with the cloak n dagger is fantastic.

I find the letranger good because of the extra cloak time.
The big earner... eh
The cloak and dagger... eh

but if you replace the cloak and dagger with the dead ringer, you live forever.

[Buu]

they should make bots follow strict paths and only run away when attacked, also give them personal borders so they won't run into the pool.

[Masterlegodude]

Glad they made the conga music play on the client, that means it won't be playing over itself with other players in the conga line, right?

Also, seeing mat_picmip makes me wish they would re-enable -10


I don't see why it was limited in the first place even

#Bringbackthecave2014

but seriously
I dislike the changes they made to asteroid
the middle area is now a worse version of 2fort
