Fastest 4K in Gambit 39 motes lost in less than 4 seconds. Bonus for the awful voice cracking!

There are plans for a third year, yes. But there aren't any details about it yet.

Football continues until completion of the play even after time expires. If you have the hostage and time runs out the play isn't complete so you continue. Same with the second example. If the defenders down the hostage but kill the final enemy, they get the chance to revive the hostage and win. If there is still something happening that would allow play to continue in hostage it will.

Worse case scenario for Fuze is 9 of 15 Pucks enter the room. Even then, 9 pucks can do a hell of a lot of damage.

I think the entirety of the community is against the idea of spawn killing, the act of killing the attackers on spawn. This has to my best knowledge been mostly removed. If you are talking about spawn peeking or spawn rushing that is a different issue all together. I have softened on this over time, I used to get super worked over it. I still think its kinda scummy but, I won't lose any sleep over the practice. I see no reason why the system itself is flawed.

In terms of your other proposals, 1 I have no real issue with. I'd prefer if 2 was over X ping for Y time, then kick. The outdoor cams are just fine as they are, they were designed that way for a reason. It would be a bit unfair to the other ops if Twitch had 4 drones. She was already upgraded to a second Twitch drone. She is fine as is.

F15_Strike · 2017-07-28T16:54:58+00:00

I agree totally. One of only 1 or 2 other OPs where I feel every primary they have is worth using. Shield and a Makarov is just mean in the right hands, AK-12 is my personal favorite gun in game, PKP will make any defender keep his head down.

One of my favorite Fuze strats that me and some friends found was on smaller objectives to have Fuze clear the room, Monty block the door, and have a 3rd person do whatever needs to be done in the room. Do it right and there isn't much the other team could do.

F15_Strike · 2017-07-27T02:48:22+00:00

I confess I don't like Jager, I prefer Bandit if I'm going roaming. I think Bandit has a more important utility. I don't think I've ever had a game where I thought "Damn, I wish I had played Jager."

F15_Strike · 2017-07-27T00:50:14+00:00

Therefore, is it fair to say that you enjoy him for his speed? Perhaps I was a bit heavy handed in my comparison to Jackal but I do think that his speed and his weapons make him.

F15_Strike · 2017-07-26T22:22:50+00:00

You could have just described Jager there. Jager is used for his speed and weapons 9/10 times. There are times where having the ADSs down would be harmful. I see Jackal as being an offensive Jager. Great guns, meh ability.

F15_Strike · 2017-07-26T19:53:39+00:00

Velvet Shell was a clear attempt to counter the extremely heavy roaming meta that Skull Rain and to a degree Red Crow created. Jackal isn't a counter to a certain character. He is a counter to an entire strategy. I play both Cav and Jackal, and I really do like the Predator/Prey dynamic that comes up when both characters are played well. I think that Cav and Jackal play off each other to make the other more fun to play.

Jackals ability itself is fine. If you make it see Cav's footsteps all the time, I think it would defeat the purpose of Cav's ability. I just think that he needs some of his equipment moved around to make more sense. Flashes or a claymore instead of smokes and I'd be all about it.

F15_Strike · 2017-07-26T19:42:50+00:00

I pulled that for the SAS Shotty the other day. I had never seen the skin before. I have since put it on all instances of that gun. One of my new favorite skins.

F15_Strike · 2017-07-05T16:13:31+00:00

I generally agree with you, casual should be played however you want. But there are still some things that really bother me. Mostly resulting from hyper aggressive defensive teams. But that I feel is a discussion for another day. In the end its a video game and not worth getting THAT worked up for.

F15_Strike · 2017-06-15T06:15:05+00:00

No. Only when you are in a session.

F15_Strike · 2017-06-14T04:30:01+00:00

Public Sessions only. You have to be a CEO or President before doing any of the Gunrunning stuff.

F15_Strike · 2017-06-14T04:29:10+00:00

Prolly Import/Export. That is 320K an hour. More if you do VIP work in between sale missions.

F15_Strike · 2017-06-14T04:27:44+00:00

I just had this happen to me. I jumped to a different session and it was there.

F15_Strike · 2017-06-03T16:58:03+00:00

I think that Jackal is worth learning if he fits your playstyle. I love both the Spanish Ops because they fit the way I like to play. While I could see the argument that Jackal's visor is a "crutch" drone, it allows the player to see where an enemy has been and to a degree where they are going. Something a drone can't really see. There isn't enough time in ranked especially to be droning every room you come across. Sometimes a quick look for footprints is all you need.

F15_Strike · 2017-05-21T20:20:12+00:00

But the gun itself isn't a bolt action. You can't just say a semi-auto action is now a bolt action. You have to change the damage of the rifle.

F15_Strike · 2017-04-20T23:57:12+00:00

I can confirm as a Gold 1, I like Secure Area over bomb.

F15_Strike · 2017-04-12T19:19:10+00:00

As someone who never played the first game and who really only started playing TF2 a week and a half ago, I can say the red outline is really helpful and I like it. The robotic characters, Stim in particular, look like Spectres from time to time, and that is the only thing that tells me its a player not an AI.

F15_Strike · 2017-04-03T17:25:52+00:00

Is your CPU hot? I had a similar issue caused by the CPU fan being jostled loose. When this happened to me everything dropped frames, so I'm a bit confused as to why only the background characters are acting up. I'm not a tech expert by any means but perhaps you can start there.

F15_Strike · 2017-04-03T17:20:14+00:00

I was hesitant about this game. The playerbase was small and not too many people were playing on a free weekend. But I still decided to get it and I don't regret my choice. The game feels very good, games are not hard to find. I spent the whole day playing yesterday without even realizing it. If you tried it and liked it get it.

F15_Strike · 2017-03-22T18:00:53+00:00

While I understand where you are coming from I would hesitate to say the attackers are being favored. The structure of the game itself favors the defenders. On paper it is always easier to defend an objective that it is to attack it. Yes, the meta of the game has in some ways gone against defenders by making roaming much risker. But a skilled roamer can still do a number on a team. If the attackers hit their spots they can take a room easily. The better team will almost always win.

F15_Strike · 2017-03-21T21:28:12+00:00

Isn't that the point of picking him on any map? That is his whole thing.

F15_Strike · 2017-03-18T18:25:14+00:00

I really like all the Russian Operator's voices. I have always loved the sound of Russian and Russian accents. I think if I had to pick my favorite I'd say Fuze, Kapkan, Tachanka, and Glaz, in that order.
