Eh, even without a Medic, it's not tough for a Heavy to go 2:1 or even 3:1. People just don't realize that running headlong into a revved-up minigun is not a winning combination. (Unless you're the fourth guy in a row to try it. And even then, killing the first 3 people keeps my K/D high!  :P )

Protip: Sandvich (and the Steak Sandvich) can be thrown, then stepped on for an instant 150 hp heal. Standing around for 4 seconds for a proper lunch break is suicide; spending 1 second tossing a snack on the ground is nice and quick, and usually 150 hp is all you need to get back in the fight.

You can also toss it for your medic or another player, if they're expecting it. (If not, they may just miss it)

True. It's always annoying when they miss it, especially if you're on full health and behind enemy lines - you've just left a free health pack for the first person to sneak up behind you.  :-\

Probably an event crate. Just wait for an event key for it.

The problem is that heavies rarely drop sandviches so my medics almost never notice them when I drop them.  Since I don't have a mic I just kind of have to wave my gun around in its direction.

Also, I seem to be a rocket/grenade magnet.  Fully half of my deaths as scout are from rockets and grenades that weren't aimed at me.  I turn a corner and bam, dead.

I think they really need to make the dropped sandvich a lot more noticeable too.

Right now it's not only small, but doesn't have any particularly distinguishable particles to let people know you've dropped one.

As it turns out, I don't like Ali Babba's Wee Booties. I swear they make it harder to ram people.

I crafted it too. I never did get a chance to try out the Mantreads. Never jumping the gun again on that one, let me tell you.

Oh wow, that was actually really clever of me.

I just need to do stuff like that consciously and I'll be set.

Welp, I just played TF2 for the first time ever, against bots as pure training.  I figured that not having played a multiplayer shooter in a decade would not have improved my already suck-out-loud skills as a wee teenager.  Bot-training is just bot training after all, but I think I just might love being a Pyro - it fits my "pop out of corners > tag three people > respawn" crackhead-lemming style of FPS gaming quite well.

 My god, forums around the world have been speaking of you ever since the Pyro update. The class has sucked ever since then and has been considered limited in abilities to do its intended role as close quarters combat specialist due to you. You are the W+M1. May Valve have mercy on us all.

Haha, I can't picture Aqizzar playing TF2.  I thought TF2 was for 14 year olds.

Just because it's animated like a Pixar Production, Toony, doesn't mean adults can't play it. XD
