Things you like in TF2 that everyone else hates: Bandwagons are for Squares - Games

Bubbles. My favorite effect, it's visible but doesn't scream "LOOK AT MY HAT GUYS, LOOK!" *cough*[I]flaming[/I]*cough*, It's also cute and themed well with some hats. I don't like burning cause it's a default particle. If a pyro ignites you, your new $3500 burning TC isn't even visible. [editline]5th October 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=NiceHotCupOfBro;37877692]Not owning an unusual hat. As much as I kind of envy those who do, the fact that people don't swarm me with trade invites, I'm not a walking snoipeh magnet, and not developing some kind of a complex about it are pretty good upsides.[/QUOTE] 2 Christmases ago I got a Vivid Pyromancer. I was pretty proud of it (Very proud, because it was right after unusuals came out) and I loved it, it actually made me play pyro. Recently I sold it for a Max's and some goodies (A steal because it was apparently worth 1 bud). My sniper deaths have decreased a lot and I love Hoppy because I got him the same day as my irl rabbit and I've wanted one since the day it came out. Sometimes it's not about a flashy effect, but an item you REALLY want.

Default hud

[QUOTE=Whyt546;37937055]Default hud[/QUOTE] I like default minimal HUD, but too much stuff breaks with it for no reason ._.

[QUOTE=Cape;37919236]Sometimes, if I'm doing really well and I'm top of the board/my team, I change to Sniper, even though I can't sniper for shit, and pretend I've been Sniper the whole time. Then I just piss around and don't do anything while I wait for everyone else to eventually change to Sniper.[/QUOTE] I get the points as Sniper and then change to Heavy or Medic since those are my worst.

The Carouser's Capotain.

Shotgun as Pyro. I can honestly say I usually end up getting more kills with it than the flamethrower.

The Claidheadh'Mor It doesn't penalize the Max Hp much, has the extra range of the Eyelander, you don't to go around looking for heads and it gives you a nice 25% charge distance that can be good for escapes or getting that fleeing Scout. The Winger To be honest, I freaking love it. The small clip is great for ammo management and for quick bursts of damage. A great finisher tool since you can get that 2-3 damage the Pistol would lack and manage to get that kill you would probably would have missed with the stock.

I love m1'ing as Pyro. Sometimes I'll leave spawn and just hold it down, even if no one's there. Then people who think I'm an easy kill somehow get burned to death and make fun of me for m1'ing. I think it'd be funny to see a Pyro randomly attacking with his flamethrower, regardless of whether or not anyone's there.

[QUOTE=Deodorant;37919299]Subtle, modest hats/miscs. More specifically the Grenadier's Softcap, Salty Dog, Attendant, Little Buddy, Tam O'Shanter, Pilotka, Gentleman's Gatsby, German Gonzila, Medic's Mountain Cap, L'Inspecteur, Proof of Purchase and Couvre Corner. Also the Massed Flies effect.[/QUOTE] I went through a rather painstakingly process of trading a large amount of the items in my backpack for a set number of keys me and another guy had agreed upon, and this saturday I had finally done it, I had obtained one of the unusual hats of my dreams. I have finally obtained, the Texas Ten Gallon with flies! I don't regret it for a second :D

At least the way I do it anyway.

The Quick-Fix. Every single time I go into any game anywhere and use it, people always say "Put away that Quick-Fix and get out a REAL Medi-Gun" But with the default, I feel like I can't do my job of keeping everyone alive, but the Quick-Fix really shines in that area.

Even versus kritzkrieg, the quickfix jumping is so fun

Helps get an extra man on mid faster, keeps the guy worth two players alive, and that PLUS yourself can land you a pretty quick capture. I swear, the QF feels like it was designed for pocket Scouts.

The Diamond BotKiller Weapons

[QUOTE=ThatSwordGuy;37980880]The Diamond BotKiller Weapons[/QUOTE] If I could get my hands on some.

Gunslinger I kinda like it.

I use the shovel and fire axe despite there being weapons available considered to be straight upgrades.

Phlogistinator It's good for killing lots of people at once, when you get those crits and have a medic buddy Also the lime and pink paints. [url=http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/541782282409938920/D585890D7B9A3CA13FEB72EA9C5D926046C488BF/]How could you not love this? [/url]

because its ugly.

[QUOTE=a-k-t-w;37983560]because its ugly.[/QUOTE] More like it looks horrible in most hats. But some may look good. War Pig with Lime paint just screams with one thing "I WEAR A KOOPA SHELL". As for pink...Ya can have a Magypsy hair with Hound Dog from Mother 3.

Wait,people hate the medi-mask? I love that thing.

Nope. Headshots won't kill you. AT ALL. Holy fuck that is actually an amazing set bonus.

Was Competitive play mentioned here? Cause I love it and everyone seems to be hating it :v:

[QUOTE=Cowabanga;37996416]Was Competitive play mentioned here? Cause I love it and everyone seems to be hating it :v:[/QUOTE] Reminds me of your super srs times on RUGC EU. 100+ ping scout spamming sandman at nerds with hale's rocket/sticky launchers.

[QUOTE=Cowabanga;37996416]Was Competitive play mentioned here? Cause I love it and everyone seems to be hating it :v:[/QUOTE] I love comp stuff. I play Demo or Soldier 6v6, and Demo, Sniper, Soldier or Spy in 9v9 Highlander. SO much intense fun.

[QUOTE=Spectre1406;37981132]Gunslinger I kinda like it.[/QUOTE] People don't dislike using it, they dislike playing against it. I play gunslinger Engineer pretty frequently, by the way. It's lovely; it's like a combat class that can build teleporters and dispensers. [QUOTE=Cyanlime;37981146]I use the shovel and fire axe despite there being weapons available considered to be straight upgrades.[/QUOTE] Hnngh, pet peeve. 'Straight upgrade' is not the same thing as 'better weapon'. There are a bunch of Soldier melees people generally consider more useful than the Shovel, but not a single straight upgrade. The Fire Axe does admittedly have a straight upgrade in the Third degree, but that too is considered one of the less useful Pyro melee by most.
