Most servers dont have FF on. Thats the default. Its probably the way it was meant to be played. And yes, on most servers engineers shoot lots of people around them. You just gotta play it cool. Spy's are still extremely effective. I got 18 points in one life as a spy and there was no FF so people were shooting teammates…
Yea, FF made competetive clan play a lot more interesting. Im sure someone will come up with a workaround to turn it back on, but thats kinda shitty. Valve's first fuckup on this game. Luckily I dont play FF a ton. Also, a cheap thing you can do with ff on. Be a medic, shoot someone will needle gun (on your team). Heal to…
[ QUOTE ] FF makes the spy super powerfull since now you just test fire on all friendlys to make sure they are not spys [/ QUOTE ] So how does FF make them powerful? IMO being able to shoot EVERYONE and find out who's a spy is pretty damn lame. At least they made the character models not emote damage, but its still a dumb…
Good ideas there, unfortunately I'm in the UK though and my ping is only decent after about midnight hehe. Otherwise the best I get is over 200. I was just playing on a FF on server, and I do agree with others that it sucks getting TK'd all the time, not sure if it's because the people were idiots or just used to shooting…
Disguised spies also show up as your name when you mouse over them. Its a safe bet if you see your name plate flash on the screen shoot, FF or not. A good spy will keep moving in a crowd, friendly or not. Its a reckless spy who goes toe to toe with an eng who is camping his turret. Unless your fast enough to stab the eng,…
[ QUOTE ] Just got the latest TF2 update. It says that they removed the FF from the game because when its on it causes the game to break in a number of ways. [/ QUOTE ] FF also makes the Pyro class a bit impotent. Have to be careful where you flame. There is nothing like opening the valve on a room full of enemies.
Yeah it's getting harder to be a spy as FF being disabled means people will shoot any teammate they see to check if they are a spy. And engineers are also herding together like....err...frogspawn, so it's not just a case of disable the sentry and kill the engineer, you'd have to disable both sentries THEN take out the…
They aren't neutered, they are balanced. Spies in FF servers are horrendously overpowered. I've seen a lot of crazy Spy players even with FF off and they're still usually top of the server and directly cause most captures. If there are two smart engineers, it makes sense that it would take two smart spies to beat them,…
Lupus, I play on a FF-on server regularily. In fact, I admin it. We chose to do this so proper investigations could happen when you suspect a spy. The regulars there no this, and hardly ever do we get a constant TK'er. And the odd time it happens, people apologize and we move on. I agree, its odd we have to shoot…
