Maybe I should record my gameplay here and let you guys evaluate.
Is there a reason why the Flamingo Kid and Triclops aren't able to be traded or gift wrapped in any fashion?
I reaaaaally want a Triclops but I played SMNC for about 2 hours and got to level 3 or so. Playing a game for 30+ hours for a hat is too much wasted time for me, but still...

Is SMNC still dead as shit, or do people actually play it now?

It is still very dead.
Unless you're talking about the jerks who turned the community toxic, pretty sure they're still playing there.

Oh wow.
Just noticed this.
[QUOTE=Fapplejack;47470247]Your hud needs an update bro. If it isn't supported then you need a new hud.
[/QUOTE]
Okay full honesty now - my hud is actually a poorly assembled Frankenstein of lots of various other huds combined together that I made with mixHUD-master. Healthbar from eve consumables from broesel, that kind of jazz. I set it up so everything looks and works the way I like but as a consequence it is a bit unstable here and there due to me messing with it.
I have no idea what’s causing the main menu issue, but I feel worried altering it further might cause even more problems. The main menu is set up in Tommyhud style so maybe I should just switch it off that.

Just use SAM.
[QUOTE=Trekintosh;47470084]What are you supposed to do against a sticky launcher demo as a heavy? Especially when he's peaking around the corner to shoot them at you? I can't think of any way to beat one.[/QUOTE]
There are two things you can do.
Either crouchjump as a bomb flies at you and surf it away, then spin up from beyond demo's spam range/run.
Or crouchjump as a bomb fliest at you and surf it towards the demoman, spinning up in midair. There ain't shit a surprised demo can do with a revved up heavy flying towards his face.
So I was playing engi today and built a Level 3 sentry
-Moved the sentry
-Spy saps it with the red tape recorder as soon as I put it down again
-Removes sapper, sentry becomes level 1 and doesn't build back to level 3
Is this a glitch or does the red tape normally does that to moved buildings?
YES I know the red tape recorder reverses the building process. but not that it does it to a building rebuilding itself after being moved

I don't get this bug exactly but I'll often have sentries completely freeze when sapped while deploying. I'll move it, the spy saps it, I kill the spy, then I destroy the sapper, but the sentry remains frozen and won't move or shoot until I redeploy it. I think that the way that sappers and deployed guns interact is broken at the moment.
so a regeneration demoman and a vampire engineer walk into ctf_gorge
and then walk back out because they both have empty guns and neither can out-damage the other ones healing with melee

Play Super Blitz. It's much faster way to get experience.
[QUOTE=yellowoboe;47473032]Is SMNC still dead as shit, or do people actually play it now?[/QUOTE]
Some people still play it. Not a lot but it's enough to play a match.
[QUOTE=QUILTBAG;47473165]Just use SAM.[/QUOTE]
It doesn't work for SMNC.
[QUOTE=QUILTBAG;47473165]Just use SAM.[/QUOTE]
The achievements are server side so SAM can't do anything. You'll have to play legit for this one.
[QUOTE=Plaffy46;47468907]I went on a random server and witnessed a new way of griefing. An amputator medic would go near his spawn full of afks people and start healing them all, and then a third degree pyro would hit the medic with a random crit and wipe out the spawn. Sounds actually really fun. Imagine getting melee'd through walls and stuff.:suicide:[/QUOTE]
See I tried this with a friend earlier when the whole server decided to go into friendly mode and we couldn't get the 3rd Degree to damage the patients. When my friend would hit me it would only damage me, the medic, and if he attacked one of the people getting healed it would only damage that person and me. :tinfoil:

Do it on actual servers lol
One time, me and my brother went YER spy and vacc medic respectively, but on opposite teams. I get a kill, then he pockets me once I'm disguised. Then, as long as I never missed a backstab, he could pocket me indefinitely from the other team.

Just for reference:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/oxrVhPp.jpg[/IMG]
This is more or less accurate. :v: I based the labels by how quickly he can use his stickies on you. At close, it's extremely difficult. At moderate, the Demoman doesn't need to charge them and hit them constantly on you. At far, he has to charge them. Yes, I know this doesn't really help you on your "around corners" problem, but it's a good enough reference in general that you should know.
Screenshot is 5Gorge mid.
What you should do depends on your position, the behaviour of the Demoman, and the squadrons that you both have. In short, using the Shotgun, jumping him with a Minigun if you can close the distance VERY quickly or having a hitscan class to help you will increase your odds to beat a Demoman significantly. Remember, always avoid 1v1s. You always want to have a numerical advantage against an immediate enemy. [B]ALWAYS[/B]. Especially if you're playing Heavy.
You will also want the Demoman to be as close or as inaccessible (far or around a wall) to you as possible at all times, never at a moderate distance UNLESS he is in the open AND you already have the Minigun revved at 100% damage and accuracy, or if you can get a few 50hp Shotgun shots quickly enough for him to die.
Make sure you avoid all sorts of damage he throws at you around corners - either you push with the Uber or you wait for him to overextend like an idiot while you're backing away. This depends on the map but I'm sure every well-designed map has these spots you can use to hide from the stickies he can throw freely. If he is seriously still able to catch you around these spots, then you probably need to change your stance and just attack the shit out of him asap.
If he uses Uber you're [I][B]fucked[/B][/I].
tldr there's very little you can do. it all depends on each team's positioning. in a sense, the Demoman pretty much counters you.
I can be more detailed if you want. There's a certain science to this but I'd hate to make you sit through an even bigger wall of text. :v:

If only Sai was here to watch this moment.
WHAT IF:
The TF2 team decided to retroactively make all weapons purchased on the Mann Co Store to be killstreak or random specialized killstreak weapons?
Now the obscene prices on their in-game store are *slightly* more justified.

And there's already "I think it's too expensive, drop the price" moans.
What's so hard about spending £1.50 (or less if you use marketplace.tf or something - no 7 day wait time!) and cashing out into refined? I've bought quite a lot of things just cashing out 1 key.
