Default joining tf2

Ok... so I purchased it for my account. To give me a headstart what config is recommended and what class should i play to start out. I've spent about 10 minutes spectating and looking around, but my connection was pathetic last night so I didn't join a side yet. Are our servers where the bulk of our clan plays? I haven't seen many on them the past few nights.

Don't forget cl_trypants 1.

Heh. Next time you're playing just send me a message. I'd be more than happy to come in and help you out or just goof around.

I'm pretty sure mouse 1 bound to "kill" is a bad idea...

Ok here's the low down...

What config? Just get it working and become skilled, then choose one.

What class should you play? Well... Depends... Are you an attacking kind of person? Or are you more of a support kinda guy? Maybe you like defending and holding back...

Easiest to start off with would be soldier... But i'd say get used to them all... it's how I did, it's how we all did... After so long you start learning each class and what you can do with them... Experiment, learn each one, don't be afraid to ask questions.

And we usually play from about 8pm Eastern, to about... 2am eastern, that's when the servers usually die all the way out... So you have a 6 hour window of play time waiting for you buddy.

We'll help you, no worries.

Welcome to TF2 Slow. It's an amazing game. Really, who I play depends on my mood at the time. TF2 has such variety in classes that there's always something to fit your mood (helpful, angry, stealth...)

The variety is impressive... i was watching a spy destroy a team a few nights ago. Watching a pyro (or whatever it's called) rush and get mauled tells me a bit about that method too. I think I should have asked what to avoid and is better to learn after I have the basics down. If the wife doesn't bitch too much I'll be on some today learning the ropes (fodder for all team members). Actually I'm more likely to stay behind and do a support role... watching everyone die and wait for the timer just seems stupid.

cl_trypants ?

How about
cl_slowmoe 1

Sounds better or if you just want to make it too obvious:
cl_poopypants 2

makes me wonder if there are any good eastereggs the designers could have put in that we've never tried yet. Can you imagine a shit stained uni if you use the above... "authentic skins"
cl_reallife 1

cl_trypants was imported by me. Created by a friend of mine, one day he told me to put on my try pants... And there it is lol. I mostly use it, but others use it too, it's a fake command that does nothing but brings out a good laugh or two.

Also if your team is doing bad try setting cl_suck to 0 :-P

If you're a sit back and wait kind of guy try engi. A bit complicated at first but they sit back and wait mostly... Again a bit complicated but they are a good sit back class, just watch for spies.

A sniper is also like that, but unless you're really good, i'd try only on some of the more "open" maps.

A medic is a support class as well but they are more into the battle. Run with your teammates and heal who's burning or inured, leach onto a soldier, demo or pyro... But mainly a medic is a heavy's best friend... And just try not to die.

Those are your support classes Then again some others can be... i've been a heavy, sat by an engi's dispenser and just spammed my minigun to make sure spies aren't in the area... Pyro's sometimes do it too.

Just fool around, see which one fits you best.
