I managed to pick one up along with a vita-saw last night. I'm a happy medic.

So speaking of the quick fix and survivability, being the TF2 noob that I am, I picked up this gun and noted the increased healing, lack of overheal, and increased uber generation. After promptly abandoning my regular old medigun in favor of this beauty, I charged up during set-up and let loose as soon as the enemy got close. I figured my lowered graphics settings were to blame for not seeing the invulnerability shield and jumped into the fray alongside my lone partner. Quickest death, ever....of all time.

It does help, though. It's the only thing that lets the Medic heal himself as he's healing his partner. 100-odd HP/second isn't invulnerability, but it's nice.

Oh I'm absolutely in love with my Quick Fix, I just didn't know different guns had different ubers at the time. I have improved since that incident ;)

Okay so, I still have yet to really play this—everything I've done so far has just been offline practice stuff.

I'd like to think I'm getting the hang of the Soldier class's basics, but I'm not really sure. Example: Is it good to aim at people's feet when using the rocket launcher, instead of higher up? Also, when it is actually appropriate to switch to the shotgun?

And so on, and so forth.

I really need to kick my recluse behavior and get to playing online.

Yes, aim at feet. Then they get popped into the air and disoriented. If you're a crackshot with it, you can then hit them while they're in midair to finish them off.

Yes, their feet is better than anywhere else. You can worry about juggles later, but you want to at least hit them with splash damage from your regular rocket launcher.

If you have the Direct Hit, though, you may want to work on either airshots or body shots if you can manage.

Shotgun is used mainly after popping someone in the air or someone tries to get away and they're more than half distance away.

-E- Half distance means mid range.

Best to answer these questions by going into online mode, trying it out for yourself and watching others do it to you.

Or we can totally just tell him, which is what happened

It makes more sense once you get a round on the receiving end though (except with snipers and spies).

Right, so I finally manned up and joined a random game. We ended up playing Capture the Flag.

This image of Pinkie Pie accurately displays the emotions I am feeling right now.http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmerndpBvs1qafrh6.gif

I'm terrible, of course, but apparently I was still one of the better players on the server—though the ones who were better than me were better by miles. Kept getting killed by this one guy who played a Scout the entire time.

Jagos 07-08-2011 10:30 AM

Scouts are hell on wheels by design. Once you catch them, it's all good, but getting to that point is the hardest thing in the game.
