Holy Christ...I never realized how powerful the heavy can be if used well in the game, every 2Fort match I go into I went on streaks of getting 3-6 kills before dying and making a load of dominations and without a medic. Never get backstabbed much either because I look around myself a lot.

It starts getting a little hard though once the whole of Red starts going scout then trying to jump of the bridge and hit you with their bats, either way I was on top of the scoreboard really quickly and destroyed most of their defense with a spy helping.

I just reset my TF2 stats this afternoon. I eventually got so sick of seeing my Medic with 533 points in one life. Losing all my other records is a pain, but hopefully they'll get back up there soon enough.

It's official. I've spent more than 100 hours of my life on Team Fortress 2.

2fort as a heavy?Well, that's impressive...usually most people go sniper/engie/soldier/scout....

See?Heavy is fun :D
By the way, l must give you a warning about models: DO NOT use them...most servers won't accept them so you'll end up with the wireframe, or even nothing at all...and they are really hard to uninstall too....

Also, woo, l have the pyro axe now..it looks awesome :D

What's the difference between skins and models? I'm still using Vanilla TF2, if you hadn't guessed :P

By that... do you mean the Axtinguisher? If so... wow, it's taken a long time. If not... what are you talking about?

I've clocked just under 95 hours of TF2. Admittedly, a lot of that was idling, but back last year or something I used cracked Steam for an easy 10 hours, perhaps a bit more, squaring it up to even more. I really need to get a life.

His level sign. He confused me last time he said something like that.

Silly excitable children...

Skins are just modifications of the texture covering a weapon/item/characters (like shinier textures, or different shirts) while models are custom-made 3d..well, models that look cool but are unsupported by most servers (like the DS engieneer PDA, the cake sandvich and many more)

By that... do you mean the Axtinguisher? If so... wow, it's taken a long time. If not... what are you talking about?

OF COURSE not, l am talking about my level icon.....

Thanks for standing still wanka.

Quick question.

You find yourself in this situation. You find a lone heavy. Just eating his sandvich.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

395 hours of TF2 over here. Oh, and i reset my stats as well. Was quite a shame to see my legit 64 teleports as engi go to waste :(

If he's on my team, i taunt/eat with him, if he isn't, i melee him to death :D

Calls for one thing...SANDVICH PARTY!

I'll do this as well. Generally, enemy Heavies eating Sandviches are an excellent way to charge Uber quickly :P

Well, l hope that you're not doing this anymore because now the heavy will just finish eating his sandvich and then kill you...melee isn't enough to kill a sandvich-eating heavy anymore, unless you get crits...
The funniest thing would be for a heavy to keep eating sandviches while a spy is stabbing him..happened to me once...l was the spy >:

Nah, I don't try to kill him - I just hit 4 times with the Ubersaw, and then GTFO of there.

Typically what I'd do.

I went sandvich-eating heavy last night (Changed my name to Pacifist Heavy), and I got killed left and right. Except by two people, another heavy that nom'd right along with me, and an engineer, after I was nommin' on his dispenser.

Oh, and a medic was healing me at some point.

"Alex, you're useless, why am I healing you?"
*taunt kills an enemy sniper*
"That's why."

I got 15 points with 1 kill, no assists. 'Twas fun. =D

Playing sandvich/melee heavy is fun. I once got a whole 32 slot pub server to play melee heavy. 'Twas BEST GAEM EVUR.

Sometimes the admins switch the map to cp_pacman_wtf, and enforces heavy boxing.

The red ghost gets SO many kills... and you can only run away from it as a Scout.

Though its hilarious to see a ghost just steamroll a group of heavies, and a chorus of deathcrys.

Just yesterday in Arena Lumberyard we got all the players to play as heavy and we enforced boxing only. We also allowed sandvich breaks where necessary.

Anyway, what's your latest achievement on TF2? Here's my two latest.

You feel really great when the whole server does as you say, don't you?

Uhm....what if l say that l don't remember?

Latest Achievement...
HHNNGG!
Can't remember, but I'm almost done with 'Crime and Punishment' for the Heavy.

Consolation Prize. My last Sniper achievement.

Mostly bug fixes then. The bonus point is good though, might give more incentive for Heavies to share.

I expected that Valve would fix the Sandvich exploit that SMS mentioned a while back as well. It was good while it lasted anyway.

And hopefully this health issue with the Sandman is fixed for good.

Rare is an understatement, for me the fire would appear as lines every few maps.

You do realise the Sandvich is technically broken now?

:* Fixed thrown sandvich traveling through players before being activated
If you're a heavy on anything less than full health; you get healed instantly. Which practically renders it useless in the situation where you are throwing the sandvich to your medic... Since its sorta a last resort to keep him alive...

HELL YES.Finally l can switch between unlocked weapons easily!

:O

Travelling through players?That should be hilarious...although l never experienced that glitch.

Lol...oh well, quite a welcome update :D

Yeah, this is total bullshit now. There's hardly any use in dropping the Sandvich now since in most cases you'll heal yourself. Hopefully Valve fix this and put it back to normal... unless it was intended, in which case I have no idea what they're doing.
