there's a particular hack that is pretty rampant due to the way it generates a unique hash when you buy it, which messes with how VAC works (I.E with a database of such things to avoid false positives, since those are very, very bad in a fully automated irreversible system like VAC)

My ping is the devil. The goddamn DEVIL. I just want to play at around 40-50 ping, please, I can manage that. I can work around that. What I CAN'T handle is when I'm enjoying the game at a good ping, then it randomly spikes to 200-400+ for NO REASON.

I had to give up for today, because I really love Tf2 and I want to play it, but apparently TF2 has already decided that I don't deserve to play and I should just not even try.

I'm gonna have to get a new router or something, because that's actually where I'm sure the problem is. Just goddamn it, why does this have to happen during such a huge update?

[EnigmaticHat]

It might just be their servers being overloaded due to update hype.

[Reudh]

If their servers were causing the issue, everyone on it would be spiking to 200+.

Also yeah, I've been having (minor) fps issues from this update. Nothing unplayable, but a definite drop.

In buff/nerf news, the new Scorch Shot is great for sowing chaos amongst players, and is also fantastic at jumping now. You can now jump about as high as 2.5 jumps with it.

Natascha while having lower damage actually feels usable now as a tanky weapon with that 20% damage resistance. mmmmmm, I love that "resisted" hitsound.

It looks like I have accidentally met Magma on one of the Gun Mettle servers

Actually I joined you.

They gave that to the natascha, and then they gave the exact same thing to the brass beast, which was already better anyways.

But I haven't started it up because they're offering moar cheevmints for $6, and I'd rather do anything else.

I think it's time for me to PTW this thread after being accused of hacking enough times. Because apparently it's impossible to perform a decent twitch shot without an aimbot. I feel proud of myself.

Brass Beast has terrible mobility though.

Sniper or scout?

Yeah, BB is just crippling.  It doesn't actually increase your damage in most cases because Heavy excels in close quarters and the BB is very awkward in CQC.  You have to think of yourself as this weird mobile turret.  Not worth it most of the time.

Any class with a single-fire hitscan weapon, really. Usually scout, but I once got a fun reaction as reserve shooter pyro:

I will literally give you a hat if you kick Icy Tea right now. He's definitely cheating.

[Shadowlord]

I used to be able to do that reliably, but that was 15+ years ago with 0 ping. (in other games, obviously)

[Putnam]

i managed to sell a common skin shotgun for $4

hahaha

[MrRoboto75]

Playing as an engineer, shot an enemy engineer alongside my sentry, stole his rescue ranger, repaired my sentry with it, and then picked up my shotty again to continue killing

[WealthyRadish]

You can write a macro that aims for you as reserve shooter or flare pyro. Primary fire -> view up -> secondary fire -> secondary weapon -> primary fire

Twitch aim is something else entirely, since airblasting is more about knowing that the target will be in the same place every time, making it very hard to miss. I once played a round as degreaser pyro with my monitor off, swinging my axe constantly to hear when I was near a wall (and sometimes crouching and hitting the ground to make sure I wasn't looking straight up or down). I think the map was ctf_turbine, since it has such a basic layout. Then it was just a case of puffing around when I hear people, and if I get a hitsound, doing the combo. I actually killed a few doing this.
