Yeah, it's not a big deal to record in hd and it takes some extra effort. I just wanted to make sure you knew there were other options available in case you wanted it in higher quality. 480p is just fine for a video like this.
Also, a suggestion: try to replay some parts in slowmo. For the slower things like getting in that first hiding spot, it's not necessary, but the FaN jump and the rocket jumping require some more complicated jumping.
I just saw your last video, amazing spots.
I wonde rif you could show me some good spots for the Engieneer that rquires sentry/rocket jump

I know one on badwater. Just sentry jump on the roof of the building near the second cap. The one with the small inside-ish area with an ammo box inside.

i'll look for some on the next map, but i mainly don't do engineer because
-it's not practical walking around with a lv.3 and a wrangler around
-you take a lot of damage and you easily fuck up
-you need a lot of time

What's so special about that one? I specifically said, i'm not going to point out such obvious hiding spots.

knew about it long ago. and what should the next map be? :v
pl_frontier
ctf_doublecross
I've got a few I can share, but I wanna see what you know first.
ugh, i'm pretty damn sick right now. i'll get frontier done as soon as i can. then i'll do doublecross.
A tip when you're going to start making new videos: make the text smaller. 16/20/22 is the ideal font size.
I remember this spot on Granary, Valve tried to fix it a long time ago but I can still get there.

BUMP. Shounic, are you well enough to carry on with this now?
Super Duper Necro HOLYFUCKWTF bump! I got a horrible case of busy life (Also see: Lazy) and since the release of PL_BarnBlitz I jumped onto the map to find hiding spots. I had the footage recorded and it sat there for a while. Anyways, i've got off my lazy ass and FUCKING HERE:

Btw, should i start a new series?
Funny for Spy Gameplay + Tactics
Zing! for Engineer Gameplay + Sentry Placement Tactics.
Meanwhile, I fixed the OP's tags.

I'd like to see spy gameplay + tactics so that I can endlessly critique like a big fat stupid moron. Engineer gameplay + sentry placement tactics would be overall more interesting to watch and people will probably vote for that more though.

I hardly consider myself a bad spy (it is unclear if I am narcissistic.) and i play on servers with pretty good players, and often play highlander. I think if i get the chance to though, i'll put up some spy.
And i'm sorry Youtube is so slow, but I exported in a higher quality codec, so it might be worth the wait? D:
You should do ctf_well. :v:
You can get out of the map via demoman, and possibly soldier.

What for?! To bog your team down? Sounds like a great plan bro. :v:

It failed to upload 2 times. What are the chances!

You can get out of the map, and behind the fence thing, and spam nades and stickies on people. Just saying.
As a sticky jumper demo its easy, with a normal sticky launcher you should just land on the very small top of the sky box, and fire down.
Oh, and event manor has some amazing hiding spots, I dunno about the original map tho.

Ah, but both of them aren't even played that much. I'll do moutianlab next for hiding spots. Meanwhile I have spy & engineer gameplay nearly done, just need to start editing. (Btw, those are just tests.)

Thats how.
Use a medic if using a normal sticky, makes it easier.
Interesting, but i don't like exploits that ruin other's fun.
[editline]5th August 2011[/editline]
There's actually a few spots on badlands that are usefull (for the most part) and easily applicable in most games by a demo / soldier with or without a medic (though better with a medic for obvious reasons), these are taken from a 6 v 6 pcw game mind but work just as well on pub play if not better.
[IMG]http://i56.tinypic.com/2wnzcyo.jpg[/IMG]
Best use for defending last cap, a soldier is better up here (sitting on the vents) than a demo cause the splash will be handy.
[IMG]http://i54.tinypic.com/2z400g7.jpg[/IMG]
Won't fool seasoned players, but it does work on occasion, you get cover on the right and behind so you will see all your threats.
[IMG]http://i52.tinypic.com/2zxv52a.jpg[/IMG]
good for attacking mid (when neutral) and defending mid, if you can the demo up here he can cover the 2 main entrances appart from valley, works better when mid is neutral and both teams are contesting, it depends on how fast to mid you are as to how much damage you can do (jump onto the train lights).
[IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/dzihie.jpg[/IMG]
Great for defending valley, you can also shoot nades into the window room though 2 holes in the ceiling both of which can get the healthpack too, when jumping up her eaim for the water tank / boiler.
[IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/35l54z7.jpg[/IMG]
Novelty spot really, best used by a scout when on attack / being chased, it won't fool a seasoned player, but in the heat of battle it can hide you long enough to reload / have a distraction to allow you to move again.
[IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/2e1xcex.jpg[/IMG]
Good spot for the solly here, not so much demo cause you will be needed elsewhere, easy to get the medic pick from here should a push come from the house, has little attacking use but great for defending mid.
[editline]5th August 2011[/editline]
Grannary has very few spots but here's the ones iv'e used to great effect
[IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/x25f0k.jpg[/IMG]
2nd cap, you can get on the metal frame around the supports, hardly anyone checks up here great spot for a demo or soldier, midly usefull for a scout going for a medic pick.
[IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/qobssw.jpg[/IMG]
easy enough to get too, people do check up here some times, and you will be spotted easily from the left hand entrance to mid (left in this screen), still a usefull spot to use from time to time. (sitting on the overhanging lights jumping from the containers at middle point, better to sit on the window frames as you are harder to spot and less likely to be galnced at)
[IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/2i1p6qt.jpg[/IMG]
This one is real simple and actually blatantly obvious, yet it works at least 80% of the time, (only works on red side i believe) as scout on last cap simply jump on the metal ramp (on the left side of spawn as you come out) and fight the physics pushing you off, you'll be in a prime postition to call enemies and get a couple of picks the enemy push through this side.
I'm sorry but these are extremely old to me and i have made the effort to use them in competitive games, people aren't that stupid. You get 1 kill, and they call it out to their team. Most of the time you're better off helping your team defend the last control point rather than pussying out hiding hoping to get a miracle medic pick. Even if the medic does come by, their soldiers pretty alert, and most of the spots won't be useful as being a demo, you need to be with your team.
The vent spot on badlands is useless because it's way to hard to get up there with minimal benefits. The control point's barrier blocks and decent coverage and it's much better to just go engineer rather than get in a horribly cramped vent with horrible access to protecting your medic.
Your last scout spot is retarded since you are in a horrible position to get a pick off, in a horrible angle, and most people aren't dumb enough to come out un-ubered, in which case you're better off trying to push them back off your point. Even if you go for a back-cap, they have the option to run straight back and destroy you, and push back in with a 1 man advantage, or push forward anyways and destroy your team because of lack of people helping defending the point, and both options lead to your team loosing anyways, so why bother?
Your demo mid spot is rather beneficial to the other team instead because you can only do minimal damage. Even if you are on the opposing side, you would have hardly any hp left that a rocket could kill you easily, and you have a much harder time retreating, and if your team loses the mid-fight, your medic will be left with a soldier or a scout, which is not ideal, and you will also most likely loose the second cap before you even respawn. If you get a soldier up there, he's useless, and a waste of effort, and is better off on the trains.
I didn't do Badlands on the hiding spot series for a reason.
So some spots might be cool, but think about how practical they are.
You're entitled to your opinion, you say you havent had much sucess, i say i / we have, let these guys decide for themselves if they want to use them rather than saying they are old to you, they will be new to somebody else which is the point of these threads, and remember here, this is a mostly pub game community (which is why maps like goldrush and badwater are beiing asked for camping spot guides), these guys
will find use for the spots i showed.
i will say something though, all camping spots are highly situational, it's up to you to pick whens the best time to use them.
