[ripyoheadoff]

Hey im an (e) with the dod:s division i thought it might be cool to try out TF2. Just got it and i really enjoy the eGO servers. I havent really found a class that im good at yet. I really like spy but i dont really understand the disguises. Was wondering if yall could tell me what the best starter classes are and maybe some tips with them. Also, whats the best map for a newb?

Watch his "How to play" class videos (scout, engy, spy, pyro) to get a basic start on the classes.

 

[ripyoheadoff]

ok cool, thanks

Yeah, I agree with The Zaw, Evil Daedalus is amazing for learning to play, even after playing for a few months. As far as the map goes, start playying one and explore, the more maps you go to, the more you download, saving valuable time later. As far as exploring, just be a sscout or medic, scout is really fast and agile, wheras medic you're going to be following people a lot. As far as class, just find one you like and stick with it for awhile, every map has all sorts of exploits for the different classes.

I would say that the all time beginner class is pyro. Just run and flame. Whenever I'm playing a new map I usually go pyro to learn the map.

 

[ripyoheadoff]

ok, right on.. im liking pyro, set people on fire and run off lol

 

[Canti]

i would have to agree, pyro and scout, thats all you need ; )

Tf2 is amazingly fun, and im sure you will have loads of it. Spy is always a class people like in the beginning, but not many people seem to stick with it i personally like the sniper. Try it out one day, if you get good, it can be really fun.

Honestly if your trying to learn a map the best way I found when i started was to hop on the medic. You can follow people learn from watching them, and get a feel for the maps. Also no one will ever complain about an extra doc.

Ok i got one other question.. How do you get upgraded weapons?

Ok i got one other question.. How do you get upgraded weapons?

You need to unlock certain achievements to unlock the weapons. So far you can unlock the medic, pyro and heavy weapons. And soon theres going to be an update for the Scout

 

[ripyoheadoff]

ok cool, so just get all the achievements and then you get new unlocks or somthing?

 

[dudethatrocks]

ok cool, so just get all the achievements and then you get new unlocks or somthing?

You get around 10 achievements for the first unlock, 6 more, i think for the 2nd unlock and 22 in total for the last unlock, the melee weapon.
either way you need to have at least 66 achievments in total (i think) if u want to have pyro, heavy, and medic achievments.

Well, I think the best starter class is the Pyro, because it's easy to kill (most) people with fire.

 

[mrcool]

Well if you wanna play defense, going heavy and parking on a L3 dispenser can be fun.

it's like that for the pyro and heavy. But you have to get all of the achievements for the medic. I think there are 30 something but idk.

 

[ripyoheadoff]

ok right on, thank you all for the help

 

[HitmanX]

Not any more

it's like that for the pyro and heavy. But you have to get all of the achievements for the medic. I think there are 30 something but idk.

When the medic update was released, you needed all 36 achievements for the ubersaw. Now they leveled it down to the same numbers as the other two classes.

-10 for the secondary weapon
-16 for the primary weapon
-22 for the melee weapon

 

[ripyoheadoff]

aah ok
