[Cthulhu]

I can be good at most classes, I've even done really well as scout.  It's just that there's some key to it, some necessary element I need to succeed, and I don't know what the fuck it is.  Sometimes I get nine backstabs in a row.  Sometimes I headshot the flag carrier with a huntsman, and headshot his backup a few seconds later.  Sometimes I blow away a heavy's escort just as the rest of my team is engaging and I'm gone before his gun's spun up.

Other times I can't get a single kill with any class, and enemies seem to sprout out of the ground behind me even when I'm in what should be safe territory.  If I could figure out what makes me good maybe I could be good, but I can't, and once I'm in a rut I can only dig it deeper.

 Some maps don't really provide alternate routes. Badwater has a few side paths but there are long stretches of solid hallway that make it difficult to attack some spots. It's sorta my major weakness as a player, my mindset is always set on flanking and attacking from a different angle from the main force. This leads to many multiple enemy team members facing me at once, which is always a losing situation. Good mindset for Spy, Pyro and Scout, but a lot of grief to be had with several maps.

Duke, you're thinking about it wrong. Having multiple people on you as a scout is a good thing. Every person on you is one less person to get in the way of your heavy/medic team. If you can get just one person following you around and away from the main traffic, you've spent a good death.

Just a heads up, some guy by the username ^8N^8O(more letters, numbers, and ^'s than I cared to copy down as I had to get off not long after anyway) might have been using cheats on the DFC server. I was getting pyro'd by him from across the map and through a few walls if the kill cam was anything to go by. Not to mention at least once I definitely got a solid look around me when I was getting flamed and noone was there.

[Darvi]

I second that. Dude got deveral kills on me that were impossible to get, such as shooting through walls and stuff.

[Jackrabbit]

For the cross map kills, that sounds like the flare gun. Through walls might make sense if there was a corner, cause there's a second delay between the kill and the cam.

[Duke 2.0]

 If you are standing still somebody moving also has a second lead on you, so if you are standing still around a corner somebody walking around it will seem like they are shooting you before they crossed the corner.

 I think I already said how corners are my greatest enemy in this game.

[breadbocks]

The kill icon probably begged to differ.

[Darvi]

No corner (except for the two wall kind, and he was on the other side), and definitively flamethrowers. Also, sentries don't move, so that kill must've been through the floor too.

Not sure if it was him though, but I was on a few maps with him and got some very suspicious deaths.



Like this:

  lm
K

Where m is me, l and _ are the walls and K was the killer.

[PTTG??]

I'd hang him just for having that name.

Can someone give me the IP of the DFC server?
I have one under favorites, but I think it may be a wrong one, since it is completely empty around 90% of the time.

EDIT: Noticed the GameTracker link in The Scout's sig, and yeah, it seems I did have a wrong one.

[The Scout]

If I had any admin power over the server, I would check it out. Alas I don't, so I'll warn Nil.

Ye're welcome.

Or it seems I had the right one. Didn't know there were more servers.
Guess I'm just not on Steam at the right time and that's why it's always empty.

[Metalax]

The current server address is 217.163.25.175:27015

It's been pretty busy most of the time since the last update, although with the steam summer games competition going on a lot of people are going to be playing other games to get the tickets so it might be quieter for the next 10 days.

Also if you suspect someone is cheating like that throw a message to me or one of the admins of the DFC group, I think everyone who is a group admin is also a server admin. We can come on and check it out.
