Comments on: The Art And Science Of Drunken Demoman Flying http://www.ubercharged.net/2008/01/28/drunken-demoman-flying/ Tales of Team Fortress 2 pwnage and other hilarity Fri, 16 May 2008 05:10:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Luke http://www.ubercharged.net/2008/01/28/drunken-demoman-flying/#comment-857 Luke Mon, 28 Jan 2008 20:18:17 +0000 http://www.ubercharged.net/2008/01/28/drunken-demoman-flying/#comment-857 Good to see you've gotten over the worst of your sniper hatred, because you created one. I've always hated the buggers, but based on your new years resolutions post I played for a week using only classes I despised (snipers and scouts), and found great enjoyment (not to mention how to counter them). But don't worry, for I only: 1) Snipe when the team has at least one of everything else 2) Especially a medic 3) Target essential enemy ops (medics and heavies for preference), only taking enemy snipers as a delicious low-hanging fruit when possible 4) Change back to a useful class when the situation demands it But thanks to you, I have had the joy of watching a concerted red push on dustbowl collapse in hilarious disarray after I dropped their heavy - about a nanosecond before he started his uber.

3) Target essential enemy ops (medics and heavies for preference), only taking enemy snipers as a delicious low-hanging fruit when possible
4) Change back to a useful class when the situation demands it

I've gotten over my frustration issues with the snipers who just duel. They're in my bad books now because I've had a couple of games in the last few days with kick ass snipers on the other team who constantly handed me my ass on a plate, and were talented to always pick a spot where it was damn near impossible to counter them. I just like seeing them get smacked down in return :D @Junior - hah, yeah. I’ve gotten over my frustration issues with the snipers who just duel.

Yeah there are a lot of people who can't resist the sniper duel, but then I will always seek out the other pyro in a group, it's natural to want to test yourself in fair combat. At best you're discounting someone who could just take the edge off their charge by taking down a powerful character. At worst you're discounting an enemy who freely give his life to you time and time again on 2Fort! Dude, you need to stop hatin’ on them snipers!

I can't even do a rocket jump, let alone a mediocre sticky jump... I'm totally jealous of that guy. He must be really great to have on your side. I also loved the bit where he killed the three snipers and none of them knew he was even there. Wow. I can’t even do a rocket jump, let alone a mediocre sticky jump… I’m totally jealous of that guy.

Would all the one hit kills be crits? (there kind of seemed to be a lot of them) wow - taking that scout out at 0.45 was pure class. Would all the one hit kills be crits?
