I just love this game so much. The art style is amazing, the balance is incredible and it is just plain awesome.

So in this thread we shall post screens, discuss, and debate tactics.

I was playing earlier when i saw the coolest thing ever. One of the engies had set up a health...thing around a corner so that cloaked spies would get healed by it and could be picked off by a nearby sniper. Also in the same game the whole team went medic with one heavy, they lost, but it was cool to see.

How often can you change classes? Can you change each time you die or do you have to play several rounds?

btw, just looking at the trailers, I think I'm going to favor the scout..

You can change classes whenever you want. You can also choose whether or not to suicide when you change, so that you change immediately if you do, or wait until your next death if you don't.

Scouts are pretty fun to play, but most of my time is spent playing Heavy, Engineer, and Soldier. The pyro update also makes them a lot more attractive to play. Demoman lost some appeal after they update that the grenade launcher grenades don't explode if they hit someone after the first bounce. They still explode if they hit an enemy directly without bouncing, and then after a set amount of time after the initial bounce. It's just that now you can't aim at an opponent's feet and go for the bounce/explosion.

As for strategies, engineers seriously need to build more teleporters.

If you're in your base when you change classes you automatically change and respawn without dying and waiting, which is nice.

Can you spam whichever taunt you want or is it random? If you can choose, I'm going to spam this one all the time: http://junk.mzzt.net/hwg/heavy_taunts14.wav

It makes me laugh

Sadly it's random.

We already had a TF2 thread, dunce.
