newbie to the game here. You explained many things i was wondering. Games depth when it comes to mechanichs and all did caught me off guard tbh . thx for the video :3
Yeah, the mechanics are very confusing at first but it's what makes the game so special imo. It took me a long time to understand dhow to play effectively so don't worry if it's taking you long. Glad to see new players still starting to this day
17:48 back in the day the skullcutter was meta because, "if theyre that close its nothing but upsides, otherwise why would i use my melee" Good video. Also forgot to mention that extinguishing teammates now heals you slightly, and to never rage at spies because it feeds their ego and makes them play better.
@@duu1981tiansquare Someone else in the comments corrected me, they do apparently. The rockets are based off of the distance the engineer is from the target. The bullets are sentry distance
Are you sure engineer's sentries do the same damage no matter the range? From what I recall it depends on how close the engineer himself is to the target.
Peppering players with your minigun from across the map is actually surprisingly effective at creating space and discouraging flanking scouts from approaching or harassing your team if you can do It without risking much and aim properly. 25dmg every second or so is nothing to scoff at when anyone but a sniper can't deal much damage in return
This is a great video for new players. You even mention things that are obvious for experienced players but new players might easily not know - things like weapons having fixed accuracy regardless of movement speed.
a HUGELY impactful hidden stat you forgot to mention: The miniguns have a damage and accuracy debuff that starts at 50% and diminishes to 0% in the first second of being revved up. Cornerwaddling>>>Jumprevving
Just like your guide for beginners, this video goes into too much technical detail and too little actual guidence. A good tip is like "when in doubt, default", it tells you what you should do then explains it a little. The worst one by far is the random bullet spread; it is just a technical dump without telling them what you should do. Love your channel❤ and sorry if I seemed harsh.
Incorrect. New player here. I learned a lot and I don't mind the technical dump since most of us come from other shooters like CS, so it all seems very familiar.
I can understand where you are coming from. But i think this guide is more geared towards players who are familiar with fps games in the first place. But having a beginner guide for super new players giving advice like what you mentioned would be nice, though.
According to the wiki: Healing injured teammates will double the current rate of health regeneration, encouraging the Medic to heal them over healthy patients.
Great video. This is a good start for noobs. I felt there’s lots that you could further research after watching this video and get a better understanding ❤🎉
Should point out the correction: while wrangler is good on passively playing engie, battle engie or even just one that moves around a lot will find a great use in the stock pistol. It adds ranged damage and is also especially handy for when your primary doesn't do enough whooping (rescue ranger, critless frontier justice, widowmaker when you run out of metal). Wrangler is a good sidegrade, but still not omnipresent, unlike the crossbow. Anyway, this video has good information, and will be really useful for newcomers.
@@mk86241 "undisputed" is an obvious lie lol. So it doesn't help, especially not newbies who can't even comprehend 25k hour plays (which ARE different from what you normally see in TF2, and in which wrangler can indeed be always preferred over pistol)
They are exactly the same, unless the gravitational field acting upon the object (in this case a TF2 merc) is not uniform. We are talking game physics here so tje simulated gravity is just a constant so they are interchangable.
thanks, i found those tips quite useful, but ive been wondering what do i do when a medic is healing a person? do i target the medic, the person hes healing, or do i just run away? (fyi i mostly play offense mercs, aka scout or pyro)
Kill the medic, especially if they're healing a heavy, soldier, demo, or pyro. You don't have enough dmg output to kill an overhealed player, but the medic will die quickly. Other options are to airblast one away (off an edge), airblast their projectiles into the med, or run. If you don't an opening to get the med, wait for a teammate, try to flank, or find a new target
It does minicrits, trust me i wanted to mention that but if i mention every little nuance the video is like 20 minutes longer and the new players watching are going to feel overwhelmed
Every time I think about passive reload in TF2 I just get sad that Medic's other primaries don't have it. They already suck in comparison in most cases, and wasting valuable time that could be spent healing teammates just makes them even worse.
I think you were too technical for new players; I also think you should have used the default Hud cause that's what new players are going to be used to seeing
I feel like you delved too much into spy and not enough into maps, game modes and positioning by class. You could have skipped the trickstabbing segment entirely if you just said “spy likes to be in melee range of his enemies, don’t be in melee range of a spy” which you did but you didn’t say anything about other classes like engine generally wanting to be NEAR the main fight but not at the main fight. Soldier and scout wanting to be on the frontline whilst demo generally wanting to stay slightly behind them to give his stickies time to arm. Again, knowing the map you are playing on and where the health and ammo pickups are on those maps is arguably a more important thing to know that spy has a lot of tricks tabs. At least go over the most common maps like upward,2fort, dust bowl and harvest. Explain how the game mode works for each side and show off some important sight lines, flanks and health/ammo locations.
I actually disagree with random spread having not purpose. Its a complicated argument but there are some reasons why random shotgun spread actually increases the skill ceiling and reduces randomness in game outcomes. Obviously there are counter arguments to this too and the comp scene fell on the side of turning it off. But its a much more nuanced topic than something like random crits.
I cannot fathom a reason for why. Landing what would be a 60 damage shot that ends up doing 9 is the exact same random BS that makes people hate random crits. I can play devil's advocate and think of pro random crit arguments but can't for random spread.
They do have a reason to exist, but "increasing the skill ceiling and reducing randomness" isn't it. The reason why they exist is to limit the shotguns' effectiveness and reliability at range, and to encourage players to get up close to their enemies as at close range the randomness gets almost completely nullified. And while yes, disabling random bullet spread doesn't remove the bullet's deviation, it makes it predictable and abusable which inherently increases their effective range and goes against the shotguns' intended design.

ive got over 1000 hours on the game but didn't know that sentry guns have no damage falloff lol
Same
@@duu1981tiansquare Someone else in the comments corrected me, they do apparently. The rockets are based off of the distance the engineer is from the target. The bullets are sentry distance
@@scarybroccolithe bullets have no fallof maybe except wrangler but not sure
Man, I can’t believe i have 62 hours on TF2 and didn’t know half of this until now. Great video btw.
the gameplay is so nice to watch, and your voice is really nice to listen to
Are you sure engineer's sentries do the same damage no matter the range? From what I recall it depends on how close the engineer himself is to the target.
TIL the bullets DO have damage ramp up based off the distance from the gun and the target. The rockets are based off the distance from the engineer.

Wait medic's passive regen is increased if you are healing an injured player? No way. 2k hours.
According to the wiki: Healing injured teammates will double the current rate of health regeneration, encouraging the Medic to heal them over healthy patients.
Wait I knew that taking damage reduces how much you got healed by a med but i had no idea it was so significant. Never heard of crit heals!
Adding this to my playlist that I share with friends that are new to tf2. Really good advice here!
Glad to say I knew all of these. Even the medic regen one which I only found out about a few weeks ago after over 12 years of playing
I just downloaded it today and I didn’t die one single time
1:56 actually sentries do have falloff and rampup and this is something you can test for yourself
Great video. This is a good start for noobs. I felt there’s lots that you could further research after watching this video and get a better understanding ❤🎉

8:35 If I was doing this well as sniper the vote kick would have absolutely jumpscared me.
I only have like 100 hours, not crazy but not a new player either. Still worth watching.
Center of gravity? You mean center of mass?

5:25 i think you mean centre of mass
as far as im aware the terms are largely interchangeable
@@scarybroccoli you could just google it to find out but ok. Shooters are taught to aim at center mass. Center of gravity is a physics term
