Pway a Weal Cwass Part Deux - Another Guide to Soldier in TF2

The actual video: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LKQL0V2H

RAW video: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JQT4NTU0

I guess it's coincidental that 2PaWC should be getting uploaded on the same day that the first installment breaks 50,000 views. I'm satisfied with how this video turned out. I imagine some people will have problems reading the text and comprehending their points while watching the frags, so I made the advising points at the beginning of the video.

The majority of material in this video had been out for just about a month while I did the majority of the work on this video (resulting in some less-than-rigorous testing), so I consulted top-competitive Soldier-player Seagull to revise my script and offer ideas for things that I should include in the video. A big thanks to him for agreeing to help!

I tried to make 2PaWC more polished than the first video by recording at 60 fps and blending the frames, using still frames to illustrate some points, by using a film-making HUD and by having an actual credit roll.

i have a question, when I shoot a rocket at someones feet, they don't fly half as high as they do in this vid. Has there been a patch or am I just doing it wrong?^^ Response would be much appreciated!

[PandaPooPs]

@alsdism There hasn't been a patch.

[PandaPooPs]

Check the comments on my profile page for an update on the PaWC4 situation.

[huubd66]

What rocket launcher do you use the most?

[PandaPooPs]

@huubd66 The classic.

[slipptf2]

"...and can deal out more damage without letting them having the opportunity to retreat." sorry for the triple post. :P

[PandaPooPs]

@slipptf2 Check the third video in the series. I revise my decision in that video.

[slashedhack]

I'm i the only one more interested in the soundtrack on this vid?

[ilyktosk8]

these fucking guides help me to this day, thanks a lot

[TheLeggy28]

I keep bumping into cloaked spies, but if i switch to shotgun, they escape, and if i shoot a rocket at them, the damage almost always kills me instead. What should i do?

[jediflamaster]

As much as this is a great tutorial, I can't agree at some points. 1. Gunboats are viable! Don't hate on them, they give you great mobility when roaming. 2. The ambassador and sniper rifles are the only hitscan weapons that deal more damage on headshots. With shotgun you should ALWAYS aim for the chest for maximum damage. 3. Direct hit forces you to aim directly at the target. This makes it easy for a pyro to blast it, provided he has the reactions to do it. You shouldn't underestimate them.

@slashedhack Have you read the description?

[AxFirez]

@mamba109 That's a way to combat being airblasted against a wall to save yourself from getting Axe'd. If you're up against a Soldier who has juggled you, you can strafe away and attempt to dodge his 2nd rocket, shoot at him and blow him away so he has high chances of missing that 2nd rocket, or you can do what you said (although it's rather situational).

[mamba109]

So something I missed or you didn't cover.

How do you counter when you are the one being juggled? If you are close to a wall you could possibly shoot it and completely veer off into a different direction?

[VirtusTenebrae]

Those ten seconds of being a team player with the banner is more teamwork than 80% of the TF2 community is willing to put up.

@slashedhack oh wait, it says in the info lol

[JexelD]

@slashedhack if anyone still cares, the soundtrack is Guitar Sound by Roland Jeekens :P
