Harlo,
Basically we've got 6-8 people playing this game from the website, and I thought it would be cool if we could discuss ideas and tactics here.
It's fun at the moment, but we keep getting our ass handed to us when the other team has an organised clan squad on the other side, Yonathan and Daniel can back me up on this when we played today and we met V Co. Bastards, all of em! ;D
So anyway, I would like to come up with an idea for when we play, that is a specific class setup we can take into a server that will allow us to play on either end of the spectrum and still come out on top.
I'm going to say at the moment that we have 5 regular players, so based on that, each with a basic role.
1 Medic (Support) 1 Heavy (Attack) 1 Soldier (Defend the squad) 1 Demoman (Take out Sentries) 1 Pyro (Defend from Spies)
This is a very flexible group that will allow us to play both offensively and defensively. The only weakness is the Medic, but that's a given, in TF2, nothing is perfect but this with some practice would allow us to coordinate big attacks with all the lone players and form a basis for a full 12 man team.
We can add stuff on top of that, the next role would be another medic, and then a spy to harass and get behind enemy lines, clearing hard to get sentries. But basically this squad can be easily modified to meet any situation. We just have to keep together and stick to our plan and roles.
What say you?

Spy to sap sentry so that others can take advantage of the momentary downtime and clear the place?
One good tactic is multi-soldier, since soldier is mean't to be shock and awe, plus a sentry w/ engie can barely hold 1, so 2+ can take out a sentry with ease from range.

Yeah, these are great ideas, the problem is implementing them. Most spies just sap everything without waiting for a critical moment, and most lone soldiers can't coordinate anything with their teammates. Anyway, it appears we'll be getting more teammates soon, but as long as there are 3 of us on a server, we can pretty much dominate until we get exhausted. ;D

Man we're getting rocked out there Anyway, they changed the Gold Rush map, very odd, the took away the lower side door on the first run, facing the 2nd checkpoint, I think they were having balance issues with rushers, but yeah, it's alot easier for BLU now, no fear of getting pyro'ed or stabbed by over zealous reds.

Pyro is next on update list: www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=189981It's a very specialised ambush class, so no doubt people need to learn how to play it better, this will be great... I just hope it doesn't completely rape the game mechanics like the medic did when that first came out. Also if you didn't bother to read the link, "Meet the Sniper" is coming out soon. Keep your eyes peeled!
