Here's a good map for you Miauw:

http://tf2.gamebanana.com/maps/130068

Jump_Beef is an iconic beginners jump map that has cows that will explain how to do rocket jumps.

That being said, I've never been able to complete it, draw any conclusion you want from that.

EDIT: Here's another one, RJ_Rocketeer:

This one I HAVE completed! ... the only one I've ever completed

[miauw62]

Hehe, from the few times I've played with you, you're probably still a far better soldier than me
Thanks for the maps, Google was being rather uncooperative :v

[JoshuaFH]

I've had to relearn rocket jumping nearly from scratch after I've started maining the Direct Hit. The additional rocket speed makes a huge difference, but oddly enough the reduced explosion radius doesn't count for rocket jumping, it acts like regular rockets, which is probably the least intuitive thing in the game.

I'm willing to provide instruction on how to install maps if you don't already know... but maybe not this instant, I'm going to bed this instant.

[miauw62]

Don't worry, I know how to install maps ever since I played a parkour mod on gmod like four years ago.

This video may be worth checking out, miauw.

This is why more people should play Mannpower

[miauw62]

Eh, whenever I play mannpower I always end up sitting somewhere high up with resistance and just grappling down to burn people

E: oh and once I was a baby's face blaster scoot with agility, that was pretty funny too.

In unrelated news, sv_pure makes me a sad panda. All my nice skins and custom sounds and gibs and everything either gets replaced by ugly default skins or utterly borked to the point of unplayability. It wouldn't be that bad, except most populated servers run sv_pure and because of the quick play option most community servers are perpetually empty.

Anyone got any server recommendations for no sv_pure and a relatively default TF2 experience in the east US coast area? Seems the best server I've found is Star_'s East Coast server but even that is either completely full or dead empty.

[WealthyRadish]

I'm assuming none of these servers run sv_pure 1, since they're disqualified from quickplay anyway. I'm not positive though, since I don't have any custom models installed.

• 8.6.15.3:27015 - Paradise Lost: Probably east coast/central, no crits/dmg spread. Map rotation is alright, kind of bland. Usually has people at night (possibly the most consistently active nocrits server in America right now), ~8/9PM+ EST._derp
  
• 104.153.105.196:27015 - "Decent Teammates": Could be west coast or central/east, not sure (I'm just judging by my ping honestly). Again, no crits etc, active at night. Rotation is also bland._derp
  
• 74.91.120.34:27015 - Some rxg server: doesn't have crits or bots, but I haven't seen it active much. Bland rotation, probably west coast._derp
  
• 67.228.59.144:27015 - SourceOP.com: nocrits etc, intermittently active, better rotation than prior listed, probably west coast._derp
  
• 64.74.97.25:27015 - Stompfest 24/7 turbine: unfortunately 24/7 on a rather bad map (though I think it's a fun brainless map), no crits etc, possibly east coast/central, somewhat inactive._derp
  
• 74.91.119.82:27015 - Team-Cream.com: nocrits etc, I haven't seen it active much, bland rotation, runs 8 bots, Chicago._derp
  
• 72.5.195.248:27015 - Team-Cream.com 24/7 dustbowl: I don't like dustbowl, but hey. nocritsdmgspreadwepspreadetcetc, sometimes active, runs 8 bots, Chicago._derp

[MagmaMcFry]

Today I got called a hacker for the first time. I was playing Soldier on Asteroid, and I was in such good shape today that at least three people couldn't believe I didn't use hax, juggling and shotgunning like nobody's business. I invited the haters to spectate me, and proceeded to get a 33 killstreak that ended only because my team won. I figured I might PTW this thread.

[Lord_lemonpie]

Oh, I never noticed there was a TF2 thread here. PTW

[WealthyRadish]

So pretty huge update coming tomorrow (I think).

http://www.teamfortress.com/gunmettle

More important than the pointless CS:GO junk and paid mission malarkey getting put in, there are some pretty significant balance changes listed under part 2.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Key notes for me:
-Picking up weapons, not sure what to make of it, seems pointless
-Damage spread off by default, so I doubt any server in the universe will ever have it enabled again, thank god
-Vaccinator finally getting fixed to not give crit resistance, now I can pub snipe for days
-Dead ringer should be significantly less annoying
-Spy should be more annoying otherwise
-Minisentries should be slightly less annoying
-Wrangler should be slightly less annoying
-Short circuit should be significantly less annoying
-Baby face blaster should be significantly less annoying
-Loch and load is less stupid
-Scorch shot is even more annoying for some reason
-Heavy is more annoying for some reason
-Black box should be slightly less annoying when used by the average chumpsicle, slightly more annoying otherwise

[Spehss _]

The whole "equip weapons in the field" thing seems stupid. Maybe it'll be cool though, just need to try it.

The cs:go collectable weapon thing also seems stupid. Like more hats but not.

The loch-n-load change seems like a straight nerf. Also still stupid that it has 3 shots and 2 barrels. Browsing the various other changes and nothing really stands out much. Some things, like the natascha and brass beast damage resistance, seem neat. The quickie-bomb launcher change sounds cool. Looks like it would encourage long-range sticky bombing rather than spamming in front of you constantly.

I dunno. i got mixed opinions on how great of an update it is.

[EnigmaticHat]

Dear god, those minisentry and dead ringer changes were a long time coming.

The PBPP change, as much as it will hurt me personally, was also sorely needed.  Scouts are annoying enough to kill without a more-or-less free health increase, and its new stats look interesting at least.

[JoshuaFH]

OOOOOHHHHH YEEEAAAH UPPPPDDDAAATTEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The loch-n-load change seems like a straight nerf.

Because it was overpowered.
