Some of the worst times to be had in TF2 is when you put up your stuff in a good place, whack some spies with your wrench, fend off soldier and demo attacks with the shotgun, have the tele spinning with over 40 teleports, have most of your buildings keeps standing throughout...
...only to have your team bash their heads against the enemy sentry nest like lemmings and die repeatedly and lose the round in the end anyway.
Wow. This was very informative, at least specifically for this map. It does do a very good job of prepping you to play on other maps, giving you exactly what to look for.
As a Spy, I would like to remind Engineers not to place their teleporter directly behind their sentry. Remember that Spies can use Teleporters. I have done multiple times when I would take the port and be offered a free backstab of an Engy sitting idle at his gun.
@rightarmer In a way, through the teleporters, an Engie does command the team by commanding where the team teleports to. Where the teleporters go can affect how a player approaches the battle. So as an Engie, one must know where the troops should be deployed for maximum efficiency.
this aint world war 2 flank troops guilt your fault build this AND BLODDY FRONT LINES and general rules WHAT THE F^^^ IS THIS ITS A GAME YOU DIE RESPAWN THEN get revenge on the sod who killed yar
Now THAT"S how you make an informative video. Text and dialouge to appeal to both senses, preventing conffusion due to speedy text or indecernable speech.
Terrific voiceover, music not to loud. Clear explanations, and visual refrances.
Interesting, but you forgot to mention teleporter exit direction, which can be very important.
You also forgot to mention that spies can telefrag you when they take your teleport, which is quite an important bit of info. Unless they cant possibly reach the entrance due to it being build in a blue/red only area, never stand on your teleporter. If a spy telefrags you, you will most likely lose the entire setup, as explained nicely in the spy-sentry kills video.
Yet I find the tempo seen e.g. in the Medic's How-To more pleasant. Even if I have to pause it sometimes too keep up with the text. This vid could be at least a bit faster-paced to its advantage - thus also having room for more valuable info in it.
This makes engineers sound like the best class in TF2.... I prefer just picking up a flamethrower and go kamikaze on myself, you would be surprised how many kills you can get.
I dunno, I like most of your stuff but this one seemed a bit basic and every point was really hammered in by the slow narrator. He just read what was on the screen! Imo if you're going to have audio and visual presentation, the visual should emphasise key points raised in the audio. Not just repeat it.
I the video sounded like some kind of instructional video for soldiers at first but it wore on a bit.
Anyways, thanks for giving me a new word to yell at people. ITS A FIRESACK!
If your team and generally, the people on the server are good/smart players, being an Engineer is really useful/good and fun!
For example, look at the last example! You can see 3 RED Sentries, meaning they have 3 Engis and all sentries are on different spots and they cover all the places that BLUs could attack from.
Now, if people there were noobs that couldn't communicate with each other, it would be a chaos...
its because if you want to play like a noob like you, you just charge into the fight and die.
if you want to win and beat GOOD players, you have to THINK. WITH YOUR BRAIN.
you are most likely a casual player. good players play to win and knowledge of game mechanics, proven effective strategies/patterns, and knowing the map can often net you more kills than perfect aim.
I don't really agree with completely avoiding "firesacks".
To infiltrate a defense, and drop a level 3 teleporter, hidden right in the center of enemy defenses is devastating, as surprising 3 enemy strongpoints with the force of your entire team can be an incredible method of moving up... IF you can pull it off.
often, a teleporter that gives your teammates some movement but stays alive is better than a sick teleporter spot but dies after like 2 people take it.
Wtf is up with all the weird video starting at 0:40? Rockets being fired by invisible soldiers? The spectator cam catching fire then being healed? Hmm....
@Spironic I think that's because it was recorded as a firstperson demo, then "driven" to that poisiton, so all the HUD effects that were on the player in-game, are recorded in the "spectator cam". :)
@DelphanGruss - Nah, you want this guy to plan your wedding. He'll be like, "Don't put the food tables here, it's a chokepoint and there's 2 Sniper posts watching it"
you mentioned nothing about turning the teleporters so the person that comes out of it won't be facing the wall or the wrong way. More people need to know how to turn buildings
I did not really like the narrator on this video.
On a more relevant note, on CP_Fright I've built a teleporter back near the enemy's first cap when they had the middle. Just after i finished we capped the middle and reinforcements proceeded to cap every point thereafter.
TF2 needs a 10th class, something like "The General" as someone with limited RTS abilities and can dole out rewards like reduced re-spawn times to those that follow his orders.
Love the soldier @ 4:10 :)
