A team of 6 snipers and 3-4 others will not win.. of course those snipers are happy as they stand way back and get 3-4 kills to no deaths while us idots run in as a Heavy or pyro .. or a grunt soilder or demo...  TF2 should only assign points (and kills to winning teams).. maybe some TEAMWORK would develop. heheh sorry for rant.. Great GAME! and free rocks..

One of the things i like about tf2 is they don't display your deaths to other players, k:d ratios don't really matter. Those types of servers do suck though, usually I play on one of these and i haven't had that problem for a while. Finding a good set of people to play with can make then game a lot better.

Ginsu Victim:

I have this game on both PC and 360, but I've never tried it because it has no single player. I at least want to try a game out and learn the mechanics of it first before going online.

The best thing Valve did was add an Offline mode to this game.  When I first played, I had to jump in and feel stupid for not knowing how to do most anything.  It really helps.  You can play a tutorial to get used to the controls or play against some bots to get a feel.  

They also have a "coaching feature" (which I haven't tried) where a season veteran talks you through the game play and helps you.

I must say it does have one downside. STEAM is digital crack.. the daily sales and weekend sales will have you with an empty wallet in no time  :(

Agreed.  A good solution to this is to get yourself a headset mike and not be shy talking to others.  I will often make comments when my team is like you described (too many of one class) about how we need Medic/Engineer/Scouts/etc. and not eight spies, few of whom are even cloaking.  If my team doesn't listen, I either just have fun with it anyhow or move to another server.

Yeah, this thread got me back into it too (though I hardly left - as of this post I have 239 hours into in, more than any other game I ever played). I even put my stats back in my sig in case anyone wants to hit me up on Steam.  

Also: saw this interesting little tidbit - TF2 as a side-scroller:



Well Fed Games:

.... and now I am back into it. If anyone needs a semi-competent medic on their friends list, I play under the name Mr. Banana Grabber, add me!


GreenBoy:
