Team Fortress 2 - A soldier's guide to final point defense, and awful pumpkin ale :(

[milesjr88]

19 people love call of duty

[SorcerorSteve]

Good tutorial, but the guys you were going against sucked. Try redoing it on a server with better players.

[raptor152]

So as a medic what do you think is the best loadout? I run the crusader crossbow and the amputator for the increased regen with the default medi-gun. Sorry if you don't play medic, I've been trying to improve my game lately.

[PurePublisher]

how did you get the pickaxe???

[JazLynxi]

@PurePublisher Random drop or craft it. OR BUY IT!

[smothdude]

Finally I now know that there are a few people that like training others in game. I like helping some friends (just random guys I play with) that I am better than. I give them pointers and it's really fun!

[MsSporeman]

wtf?!?! hamtaro 3:00

[MinecraftHeadQuaters]

this is what war looks like in 20 years

[elijahcameo]

What kind of servers do you usually play on. I'm interested in the idea of playing with upper class players.

[TheMrOller]

Can't u get minecraft and make some videos about it?

[firebad0]

have you heard of arma 2? it also has some pretty unique gameplay.

[AZAZAZ639]

Hahahahaha dude you are so funny !!

[Shibby2142]

Random crit is nasty...

[ljharechmak]

OCTOBERFEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!111

[Smileyx19]

[alfrecru]

balllsack

[alfrecru]

[ballonsuk87]

[NobleShaft]

*Brrruup*Umm sorry xD

[DontShaveMe]

HOw do you get those thingies under your shoes so you don't take as mutch damage from your own rockets?

[freerealmers]

@DontShaveMe The Gunboats? you can craft,buy or u can get them from drops or trade something for them but they kinda suck u cant use a shotgun cuz they take up the secondry slot

[TheLoozard]

Those guys at 1:28 were the worst players ever? You should see me playing :(

[babyminnow]

Ever play with the Black Box?

Have you ever had strawberry beer? That stuff is delicious. Also, no burping.

It was polite of you to apologise for burping too, can't stand it when people don't apologise for it.

[AHOPlolwut]

4:11 ONLY I SAW THE HANTARO POSTER?

[HORatyourfrontDOOR]

hahahahahaha hell yes sam adams

[blindkila30]

does the ray gun have splash damage i bought it becuz it seemed pretty bad ass and it can be at times but sometimes it seems like it sux need some help plz

[kornfan95336]

John, I love you. And, I want to know, if you are willing to play Halo Combat Evolved. . . On PC, record it, make it a series, and have gay sex with me. I love the COD BO Promod, but, Black ops, is like, you know. . .Over done? And I know you want to play what you want to play, but, just maybe think about it? That would be great. <3 Welcome back from Vacation, getting laid 3 times, with a ring on her finger, mad props.

[nomorev6]

You are gay ,get some pussy ,and get a job ,or at least play bad company 2 ,the noise that comes out of your mouth is repulsive ,go kill your self faget,not fagot but faget ,homo

[jelloman17]

@nomorev6

trololololol

[tehwakokiid]

pumpkin beer? sounds interesting

[chucktxranger22]

i wish they had a rifleman class

[DonkeyTerrorTV]

you need new intro bro :P

[saltman90]

[Dragonaushproduction]

Sierra Nevada?!?!? do you live anywhere near Chico?

[linkmaster1390]

2:57-3:00 its hamtaro!

[SolidGamerFilms]

/watch?v=hNNOpGjR7n4 please take a look at mine!

P.S. Great tutorial mate, wish there were more people like you who making some helpful videos like you!

[emj505]

i love the way u explain the class soooo well

[snopp101]

lolz i love doing that surprise attck

[TheCustomechanic]

Very good commentary. I see your loadout is the regular rocket, shotgun, and the Equalizer? Any reason for no Black Box or Direct Hit?

[iplayrb1]

John do u just use fraps or do you make a demo then record if so can you tell me the command to extend my FOV while in demo mod

[UnknownIncognito]

SourceOP <3 :)

[haf990]

front flip soldier FTW! 1:31

[mrcoolpants101]

@acheesyturd

[dani082e]

synwyn if you play TF2 on steam so add me i too play TF2 my name is dani082e

[bluesthep]

@Synwyn do u have to buy steam to play online for this game or do you just buy it or download it, find a server and play ?

[Tylertc13]

Sierra Nevada! I like you even more now that you have good taste in beer.

[SithEmperor800]

THE SOLDIER CAN ROCKET JOHN :O

[MrZwaaWob]

Can anyone tell me the name of a descent server for tf2 so that it'd help me get better at the game, thnx. :)

[fubous]

"and I was playing some team deathmatch on power houseand and I got shit on because the spawn system"= "I was Clinton's third visit our house and I got should all because farm system for"? silly transcribe audio.

[BestxNexus]

Peace out, One love, Ball sack.

[DazTora]

Your intro is more loud then the video.

[Sectus2345]

I can't fucking stand Pubs, it's too fucking easy to top the scoreboard in places like that.

[Killergluestick21]

Is there a reason you don't turn on automatic reload in your settings?

[Synwyn]

@Killergluestick21 The last update made it glitchy and it occasionally locks up. :\

[Thecheezgod1]

@Killergluestick21 not everyone has to have that on, sometimes its more annoying than useful

[delmarman888]

@Killergluestick21

Why used automatic reload? I've never seen the use of that option

[PhylumEx]

@delmarman888 Try it while playing as a scout.

[ninijacob]

source op are average players. better ones are the bar room servers.

[jacksonbrownekid]

I just realized that everyone says that at the end of their comments so nevermind. Im also a yagb follower. if you want me to show you my gameplay style i can make a vid

[jacksonbrownekid]

Hey john, i play tf2 on the pc and cod on the xbox. Im not very good at cod ( rare 1/1 kd). Do you have any tips and do you wanna play sometime? My gamertag is benmfelder. I wanna get better before black ops. Suck my cock

[MadHackerNZ]

what server do u play on and if i get into a match wit u sould i call u synwyn or essindees?

[Whitehound12]

Should i get this game? it seems like everyone is pro or sumthin...

[Shuriken1O1]

@Whitehound12 It's a good game, the server he's playing on has some good players, but there's lots of popular servers with people who are decent, or crappy at the game. You could play with them when you start.

[xkyzaa]

What the fuck are you talking about? How is pumpkin ale related to TF2?

[Synwyn]

@xkyzaa I talk about whatever I feel like talking about. Gameplay commentary is boring. You're boring. Cya.

[YouWannaDieOrWhat]

@Synwyn Is this game free?

[MrAsb97]

i love tf2 because there are no noobish things at all, everthing is even, perfect fps PERFECT

[fswah6]

-1 Weird custom HUD

+5 Sierra Nevada (Pale Ale FTW)

[hiphopper1997]

Where the hell do you live?

[Taylar94]

I love Soldier, my favourite (fuck Firefox it's American words only spellchecker), along with Scout. My main problem with Soldier is that I fail with my prediction - at medium range I might only get 20 damage per rocket.

Also, don't you have hit sounds and hit numbers enabled?

[BlikBamf]

Viscious is by far one of the better players. A good segment of the crew that migrated to source op actually came from a server set known as fat gamer. In my opinion, the skillset on fat gamer was actually higher, but several of the regulars went different paths after the breakup. Sadly, I don't ping as well since I moved out west.

[Synwyn]

@BlikBamf Viscous would make a fucking incredible competitive demo. :\

[ShawnJames91]

I really dont know why you keep mentioning Halo's spawn system bro. I havent noticed anything TOO wrong with it. I think you also said that it was worse than MW2 which makes me choco squirt my whitey tidys laughing because that is such an exaggeration. The only valid complaint that i can understand, which is a MAJOR one, is the fact that when you select "Team Slayer" your most likely going to end up with team snipers, elite slayer, or fuckin swat... which makes halo pretty much MW2.

[jcp083185]

I love team fortress 2 but its been so long since Ive played it

[RushXv]

I have no idea what the fuck is going on. Shit dicks.

[KablesCANTdance]

Try dogfish head's pumpkin ale. yum

[JohnstonRobot]

next time you do TF2 use the Engineer

[xCpKxReCkLeSs]

More TF2 theres SO much Cod theres SO much halo gameplay i want TF2 <3

[esotericagenda]

I wanna start playing this game again so bad after watching this video...

[hybridnation]

What mouse do you use Synwyn?

[xxG1ANTxx]

awesome some fucking TF2!!!!!

[One777oto72ide]

this lack of shaders makes me sad

[v0lc0m77]

This game looks cool the shape of that shotgun is cool

[One777oto72ide]

7 people didnt get a boner while watching this

fuck u haters. i know im a hypocrite

[chenny040]

one love... ... ... ballsack.

[keohane4444]

moar. maor

[keohane4444]

moar tf2

[Scorptile3122]

This video makes me think that it's ridiculously hard to get a kill in TF2.

[per0zin]

Nice to see something other than Mw2 :)

[guywithskills]

Fraps sucks balls. Use Wegame. Its free

[Graffitiluver123]

Dude your my favorite game commentator your freaking awesome!

[hunterprose]

@synwyn hahahahaha made my night

[o0happyface0o]

are you gay....with trumpf?

[Synwyn]

@o0happyface0o Only on days that end with Y.

[o0happyface0o]

@Synwyn cool

[InvaderTrond]

Eff Halo Reach! MOAR TF2!

[Jaaacksonnn]

Any tips for improving aim? I haven't played much but i find my main problem is aiming, are their any tricks or ways to get better?

[Synwyn]

@Jaaacksonnn I used to pick certain props on the map like a sign or a window or something along those lines, face the opposite direction and attempt to just twitch my shot to the right spot over and over, for hours. :\

[Jaaacksonnn]

@Synwyn Sweet thanks, i've tried things along those lines, but never stuck to it because i wasn't sure if it was going to make me improve. Well, that and the fact playing online is more fun.

[EatCornChip]

no idea what the fuck is going on, how do i tell if u have gotten a kill or not?

[DRN00X]

@EatCornChip Kill feed in the upper right. If it's white, it involved him whether it was him dying, assisting or doing the killing.

[RockstarDaniel]

ive been gaming for practicaly my whole life and when i watch TF2 videos i have no idea what the fuck is going on but whatever it is its giving me an erection

[tonyt3hpirate]

You pronounced Nevada right, you are now a god among men.

[estabanthegreat12345]

This game confuses me so much....hahah

[Synwyn]

no idea about xfire, but I only fraps over in-game demos, never when I'm actually playing. Fuck that noise.

[xShooter7]

sexy intro. sexy, sexy intro.

[doffy1]

TF2 Rox halo sox.

[redIcry]

WHY THE FUCK DONT YOU POST THIS GAME MORE OFTEN there is no excuse for this

ps. do you use the mouse

[yiyyi21]

Hey John. What's your opinion on FRAPS vs XFire recording?

My past experiences with FRAPS has been a veryyyy laggy one.

[PaulaAbdulsMyHero]

How can you tell if you got a fucking kill or not

[umeshalaka]

It depends on how you spawn on reach. you can choose to spawn on your teamates or another location. so if u spawn and your teammate is around the corner from enemies

[ThunderstruckPS3]

yeah i love your TF2 gameplays and i'm pretty sure YouTube has enough Reach gamplay.

[N0tThatDrunk]

yeah reach's spawn system is fucked.

[kamran1312]

Play the console version of tf2 please :)

[addictedtooflight]

@kamran1312 why? the PC verison is soo much better because of the updates!

[kamran1312]

@addictedtooflight yeah i know but i wanna see what he thinks.. :L

[milkweed93]

Nice banner :D sexy sexy

[sniggibs1]

your logo is taken from leeds and reading festival :O

[VegaSharaku]

I absolutely, positively hate soldiers who change to Equalizer when I'm healing them. It's irritating to try to do your job and solly is just making it harder.

[xninfoxx]

@SynWyn u plat tf2 on pc?

[skatergamer1]

damn, minimal dick talk in this one

[PvtJ8ker]

Sometimes I see you spot a blue guy but not shoot, why? Like at 1:33

[Synwyn]

@PvtJ8ker He was ubercharged, which means he's invulnerable to my attacks. I needed to get away from there as soon as possible.

[Nemonization]

This was sexy. Any CoD4 PC gameplay coming up in the future?

[Ervine4]

heavies don't counter soldiers lol. demos and other soldiers do. heavies counter scouts.snipers counter heavies, scouts counter snipers.

[Synwyn]

@Ervine4 A good heavy will absolutely destroy a soldier in any situation. Until you compete at a level with high end players, I'm not sure you realize how fucking dangerous a good heavy is.

[Ervine4]

@Synwyn I will have to completely disagree. Unless you are talking about pub maps like dustbowl or goldrush or whatever. On standard push maps, gran, badlands etc. Soldiers will dominated heavies. every time. Heavies lack mobility that good soldiers have. Thats why you generally don't see heavies in comp. play.

And for you information i have competed on a "level with high end players" although I bet the majority of these "high end players" would agree with me and not you.

[Synwyn]

@Ervine4 I'm talking competitive heavies that have pocket healers with them. Depending on the map, some teams will replace their pocket soldier with a heavy. It's fucked myself and my team over numerous times.

[Ervine4]

@Synwyn True heavies can be effective at times, I have never said that they aren't, I am just stating that they are in no means counters to soldiers.

[BlikBamf]

@Ervine4 For an in close battle there are three classes that do well up close. Heavy, soldier and demo. When dealing with a heavy soldier standoff it largely depends on who gets the drop first and how well the soldier maneuvers.

[edhhd5]

yay tf2

[DerekWolfHarvey]

Why is there a hamtaro on the wall?

[KMAC323]

I was playing this on the PS3 (The Orange Box) the other day and OMG the Lag was unreal! Also the fuckers on my team kept changing to the other team, leaving it Me vs 4 or 5. Fuckin dicks!

[koolfool88]

I bought tf2 bc of u John :)

[MrChappy5]

My very first computer game was TF2, AND I'M SO GLAD to see someone on youtube playing it! Essindees FTW...

PENIS.

[V2Hovership]

Seriously is Reach's spawn system not worse than any CoD game?

[Synwyn]

@V2Hovership Yes. It is.

[PibbsRosekrans]

i want to play this game so fucking bad but my computer cant handle the FPS. keep up this video's though brah. good work.

[Permafrst]

Lol, you are not as good as you think...at all

[Synwyn]

@Permafrst Better and more successful than you. Take a hike, scrubby! :)

[akamaru717]

@Synwyn cool

[nikhello111]

@Synwyn caaaaaalm down griz!

[zillyzachary]

yay! tf2

[LKxDESIGN]

soldiers are so imba >.>

[thesimer2]

you should do a video just about beer

[L0LiDk]

Every time esseindees posts TF2 game play, a kitten is saved

[trilax1427]

I have no idea how this game works, or what the objectives are. But it's a shitload of fun to watch.

[greywils0n]

Peace out, one love... ballsack :D

[apeoo91]

airblast pyros also counter soldiers

[Synwyn]

@apeoo91 depends how good they are. Most of them just spam airblast so much that they're out of ammo in 10 seconds.

[Jfroese2007]

TF2 FUCK YESSSSSSSSS

Thanks for posting this brah.

[KevinIsFRSH]

How come he turns like metallic red sometimes? Like at 3:25.

[Synwyn]

@KevinIsFRSH medic has an ubercharge. When he heals enough it gets too 100% and depending on which healing gun he's using, he can either make you invulnerable for a short time, or have all of your shots be critical hits for a short time.

[KevinIsFRSH]

@Synwyn Ohhh okay thanks :D

[QWOOTERS]

Oh, sorry that was a miscommunication. I was never begging for TF2. I was begging for sex with you and Hutch. I thought that was a sexual position and we were going to have hot intercourse. But I was asking for this game.

[degunshow]

do you like using the buff banner at all or do you mostly stick with the shotgun?

[Synwyn]

@degunshow Shotgun always.

[SteWildMF]

John, Can I put my dick between your legs and pretend it's yours

[winklots]

Halo Reach is pissing you off.......didnt that game like just come out

[dansflamable]

Lol at Hamster poster

[MiNDx1er]

FUCK YOU GOOGLE ADDS!!!!!!! >:O

[Xebanily]

You should try checking out Weyerbacher's pumpkin ale. I haven't tried it yet, but they're a great PA brewery so it should be good stuff.

[sandiegodrummer]

Could someone be an actually skilled pyro?

[BertytheSnowman]

@sandiegodrummer yes, if they know how to use the airblast effectively ie, deflecting rockets etc..

[marclaguitare]

hey john, any reason why you dont use the auto reload feature and why do you play w/ the default cross air ?

[Synwyn]

@marclaguitare Because dicks.

I'm accustomed to reloading myself from previous FPS games. It feels better. I don't like playing iwth dot crosshairs.

[narathh]

Synwyn, whats the name of this server? im a TF2 player, and pretty sick of servers spamming snipers and spies and not co-operating..wanna play with ppl that know how to build a team and setup.

[SuperSamX360]

TF2 is probably the most fun gameplay to watch, i've been playing for a while but never got involved with the community so watching the gameplay of someone much better is very helpful, gogo class tutorials!

[GOTtheGOODStoGO]

you should play MONDAY NIGHT COMBAT 

[basking678]

equalizer=boner

[tshort487]

Cod 4 pc that would be cool

[Hhunter12]

i feel that the spawns are only bad on the forge world maps. and only when you play a game that has the potential to be a 1 shot kill i.e. swat or snipes. every other aspect of Reach is amazing and knowing bungie they will fix as many problems as possible before years end
