I'm just fucking around. I used to play Scout seriously but that could be stressful at times and I don't like people raging at me. I get no satisfaction from making people angry. When someone makes me angry though... :v:
I'm usually pretty chill, I play for fun and I prefer to be friendly, but I'm bit competitive and also do take tremendous satisfaction from being the cause of other peoples misery and humiliation. I'm pretty sympathetic to new players, however I can still be extremely frustrated when people's ineffectiveness is holding back the rest of the team.
I won't mind if you're a new player and you're not awfully good at playing the game... I will however be pissed at anyone who chooses Spy when we already have 2 Spies that are doing their job well and vice versa with Sniper, when you play arena and camp with the Cloak and Dagger, when you play Medic and you refuse to heal people, when we're having a serious game and you start fucking around with old unfunny shit like spycrabbing and heavyturtle, when we're playing arena and everyone on your team is dead and you decide to not kill the enemy and just fuck around taunting and shit with them while everyone is forced to watch you act like a goddamn retard while they wait for their turn to play.
If you do these things, I will tell you to stop. If you continue to do them, I will fucking verbally rape you.
I do enjoy messing around on servers as well. It's always great to find other players who are in a humorous mood for silly things, which sometimes may involve crushing the other team with a one-class rush and some fitting micspam.
Depends on the map but I usually play with my RJumper Loadout (RJ/Shotgun/MGardener).
However, I'm always the one filling the spot of a missing class (usually Engineer or Medic) so we get a bit of everything going.
As a team player, I try to be as friendly as possible and helping my teammates getting through. With 2 of my friends, we were able to coordinate a massive counter-attack on the last point of Dustbowl with a team mostly made of new players. We made them occupy the team as long as possible with our help then we pushed with 2 Ubers, one after the other. Man, I wish I could have seen the faces of the RED team players. But that only happened once... sadly.
There is only one kind of player I can't stand and those are the bragging pocket Heavies. Here, I'll quote myself from the "What annoys you in TF2" Thread.
[QUOTE=alpha00zero;36962228]One thing that annoys me?
Bragging. Pocket Heavies.
I don't even join games where I know this kind of players are in. And I know them since some are regulars on the servers I go. Not because they are being pocketed, no... because they think they are the best at it, aren't team players yet they suck pretty hard when their buttbutt friend is dead. One even started calling his team noobs, yet they were winning and not because of him!
However there is a good side to this... it's when I play Medic and a)ignore them, b)give them a false feeling of security (aka leaving them alone when danger comes) c)have an uber but change target at the last second before deploying it.
OH the rage is so delicious coming from them. I feed through all of it![/QUOTE]
I would describe myself as a laid back TF2 player. Of course I do get frustrated when annoyingly simple things happen (I push back the enemy team only for my own team NOT to push forward and I get killed/pushed back making my efforts useless) or when I'm in need of a certain class (medic for ubers or spies to sap nests) and all I get is a flurry of snipers or useless pyros.
I do like the occasional friendly F2P though (Its not often you get a friendly F2P who's first word isn't "noob" or some other form of regurgitated insult). Provides me with a source of easy kills and a student (if they ever ask for help that is) to help improve (mainly it's simple things like how to bind keys for surf maps or how to play the spy properly (disguise etc).
As a Houwar toting Demoman (I normally unconsciously swap classes from time to time but at the moment my skills in playing are lying in the Demo's hands) I find myself in front of the charge and having to carve a path for most players. The downside of this being I'm almost always the centre of abuse (I like to go on the NoHeroes Payload severs since they have a nice community and the players aren't simpletons but neither professionals). One great example of this being- Spawn gates open on Goldrush part one. I sticky jump across from blue spawn into the sniping shack at the other end of the first point and grenade/sticky bomb an engineer's nest. He exclaims over the chat "Sctsmn. Y u dstry my enginr shits?" and proceeds to call me a hacker and all the names under the sun which a child would think is insulting (Gay, faggot etc). Other than that, I tend to find myself just playing as I normally would. Casually, out to play for fun and playing well while helping others.
/Not my blog I know but I've been thinking about my TF2 experiences over the past few days and this thread has given me the chance to express my thoughts.
I act egotistical as fuck but I still congratulate my team and be nice to the ones that lose.
I call myself awesome while saying good game and shit. At least in pubs.
In actual playing modes when I'm trying to do good, I usually either stay quiet or be nice.
I just play to have fun, just casual TF2ing. People actually love my egotistical outlook on the game, which is weird. One time I had my team saying "Holy shit there's General Rainbow Dash flying across the map again" and stuff as Soldier, it's funny.
On mic chat: most I usually do is say "Let's go" when I have an übercharge ready. Helps get them into a push.
I was playing a game, we got steamrolled and all that the other team typed in after the match was:
:)
I literally raged so hard, didn't put anything in, just kept playing, but literally 6 people did it.
The next match we steamrolled back and the same people replied with:
:(
I replied with, "It's one all guys! Best team wins!"
They replied with:
>:D
All in all it was just collaborated fun. We had some great games after I got over the fact they weren't trolling. Moral of the story, assuming people you're playing with a dicks make you play like a dick.
My attitude usually works against me, I get angry too easily in tf2 and cs.
I can't stand people going full retard in voice-/text-chat

Sounds just like me. When my team gets steamrolled I tend to automatically assume that the other team is a bunch of dicks and get angry really quickly. But if one of the players in the other team starts talking and we start discussing while kicking each other's ass it lightens the mood quite a bit.
whenever I get a kill out of me simply being better than the other person, I say "hmph."
it started out as something I seldom said to just piss people off, but it's become a habit now.
though it does serve as a good way to make mortal enemies, and that's always fun to have.
i just love having one player who's at your skill level that you just solely engage throughout the entire match. whatever i do, if i see him, i always just drop everything i'm doing and attempt to brutally murder him.
it's fun when people are up for it, but it tends to make people leave pretty fast.
I just remembered my little thing where I jump up and spin after every kill. I need to start doing that again.
I used to explode myself if I killed a particularly whiny kid.
Blood all over their screen.
It was particularly funny one time when I did it and then the kid's mother walked in.
"I don't care, you shouldn't be playing such a bloody game!"
"But mom, it's not bloody!"
"Then what did I see when I walked in?"
:v:
I usually lay back and play. I always play with team spirit though :D
A week ago a new f2p dude, actually a pretty good sniper, asked for a while if anyone had a machina. Finally, I told him to send me a trade. He asked me how much for the Machina, I said free. then I put in a Crockleather Slouch and pressed accept.
He thanked me many many times and said how he had no hats and that he really appreciates it, then he spent 15 minutes trying to add me to friends. I never asked for anything in return, he didn't even have anything more than 2 pages on his backpack.
I've got almost 2300 hours on TF2, it almost feels like its my job to help new players. Sadly most people just see them as easy pickings and then gloat after every time they kill a guy with 25 hours on TF2, those kinds of people really put a bad face on the game. I've tried valve servers, small gaming community servers, big gaming community servers, all kinds. There's almost always someone that's new and there's almost always someone that's an ass, so you really can't do much more than try to help.

And people are two-faced as fuck. I was the MVP, top of the scoreboard medic and I got 5 ubers in one life. We won a few times but I was teamswitched to red. After we lost, the people I was healing, ubering, saving their lives and backing them up when on blue just turned into complete assholes saying how shit red team was and how bad every player is.
TF2 IMO has one of the better communities out there. Like the community of any competitive multiplayer game it has its fair share of assholes, but nowhere near the levels I've seen elsewhere.
I'm never playing TF2 to win the round. I enjoy keeping my team together, providing the right class support at the right times to beat the odds. My "fiercest moments" are when a couple of buddies and I come together and we focus each other in combat, or in a small group we tackle something together. Like that one time a friendly Pyro player (as they tend to be) and me (Medic) made it a quest to sneak in and out of the enemy's ctf_well base and cap the intel all three times. And every time we made it back to our place despite all the security and virtually no interference from our team on the way, we were like "WHOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME" "FUUUUUCK YEAH".
That's what makes TF2 IMO and that's what makes it awesome. You can have great fun even if you're loosing. It's a trait not incorporated into many competitive multiplayer titles I feel.
[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;37076334]And people are two-faced as fuck.[/QUOTE]
This times a million. I've seen it even when it comes to hackers some times, people being big enough jerks to be all "lol why so mad?" when people point out some guy on their team is crithacking or something else overly obvious, and once they are teamswapped they tell everyone on the other team to kill themselves for supporting a hacker.
But in general I do see more people wanting to help others in TF2 than many other games. I might be lucky, but while there was a lot of HILARIOUS replies to legitimate questions like "how do I turn my engineer blueprints?" such as "press F10" or "type unbindall in console" (and still some people find this super funny, apparently) more often I see people have their questions answered.
I do admit I have a bias about certain players when I play... I don't have anything against new/f2pers, but I don't expect them to do well. It must sound discriminatory, but if I'm a medic and there are two heavies, I prioritize my healing on the one with a hat that indicates he's not f2p, instead of the heavy wearing a ghastly gibus.
I'll of course try to help everyone as a support class, but for the sake of the team on public servers, one kind of has to make these decisions to help the 'good' players be even more effective.
I don't blame F2Pers, i blame those who don't want to learn the teamplay. It's way too annoying to play with people who just join random games just to get kills.
I mean in TF2, there's nothing more exciting than getting backup from a good engie, spy or medic even though they're not fight classes.
I gotta be honest, I've been mean to some new guys, but that was because they were being douchebags micspamming every time they killed someone.
I try to help them out and get them used to the game's specific mechanics like ubers and airblasts.
I'm one of those new guys that love to see new players, one of them might just be a diamond in the rough.
The server I playin have a lot more regulars that most would consider vets, but never played with someone that hated New players.
