I have tons of hours as Medic and I never once thought of using ubers to stop backstabs.

Then again, I main kritz, but still! I applaud your creativity.

[kigbariom]

It's good to see people who know how to multi. :)

[TheBuzzKillFail]

Now that is a medic that can play on my team ANY time! :D

[NervousMedic]

@TheBuzzKillFail Many thanks!

I'll post more soon, I have a nice little collection of funny replays I can sift through :D

Also - Thankyou everyone, you are all kredit to team!

typical tunnel vision heavies.

[DunceSparce]

@iejelliott Nobody can render tf2 like that. If you save a replay, it creates a render. Depending on how smooth you want it, it can render anywhere from a few minutes to hours.

[yalamix]

epic win

[iejelliott]

are you using a graphical mod/config? cause my rig's pretty decent but tf2 looks nowhere as good as that

[NervousMedic]

@iejelliott When creating demos, you can enhance the graphics and make it alot prettier. From what I've read (and been told), this is the case.

[beepzoo]

Wow. Bad teammates.

[carrefamily01]

What graphics settings/mod are u using? The medic health streams looks different...

[deadapostle]

Those heavies don't deserve that medic.

[NervousMedic]

@deadapostle lol agreed, bots have better situational awareness than most pub players.

[MarcellusWalrus]

Lol, well played.

[cantleaveitalone]

As a career medic/spy: Sehr gut gemacht, Bruder!

[NervousMedic]

@cantleaveitalone Danke mein Freund! :)

[hellbentformaiden]

that was fantastic, great job. personally once he ran into that house i woulda been trying to stab him, but it worked out in the end.

typical bug: heal beam not showing up when the vid starts

[NervousMedic]

@ProjectNeuroLogic yea I see that often even in Salamancers games.

[AubThaMan]

@ProjectNeuroLogic - This is actually a kind of neat view into the technical aspect of demos, and why they hate rewinding so much. It's basically the fact that a demo does not consist of every frame of a match, but just instructions on how to build the match in the engine. Think of some event that starts the medibeam particle effect, since the demo starts after he had started healing the heavy, it remained invisible until he switched patients and the event was fired.

[masterofthehiten]

@AubThaMan this technical aspect is also what makes demos so damn tiny on the drive

[AubThaMan]

@masterofthehiten - Indeed! The tech behind demos, and the strategies used to try and create rewindable demos, are really interesting subjects. I may be wrong, but i think tf2's strategy is a fairly straight forward one. To fast-forward, play the game super fast to the point. But while it plays a demo it makes temporary snapshots of the gamestate every x frames, and to rewind it either fast forwards from the beginning to the point, or from a snapshot to the point. Whichever makes more sense.

[ProjectNeuroLogic]

@AubThaMan That's extremely interesting, and thankyou @masterofthehiten for elaborating. That sheds some light on why medibeams dont show up instantly during demos. Apparently during demos, the beam graphic only functions when you stop&heal again, as I've yet to see a beam from the beginning of any videos. Interesting indeed, my friend :D
