#25 Competitive CTF concept - thoughts? in Map Discussion

Also, spy made CTF incredibly annoying. Did you bring the enemy flag out of their base a decent amount? No problem bro, just go spy and touch it the flag to reset the return timer. Do that about five times and eventually your team will take it home.

To be fair, I believe spies couldn't pick up the flag while cloaked (I believe it was possible at one point but it got patched). Still, pretty much the only point of spy in CTF is to reset the return timer. Regardless, I think every single class except scout and soldier make CTF annoying.

#22 Competitive CTF concept - thoughts? in Map Discussion

as TLR mentioned in one of these threads before, there's no movement gimmick in this game to make CTF interesting. In Quake, you had strafejumping. In TFC, you had conc jumping (sick conc jumps at that). Above all of this, ubers, sentries, sticky traps, and heavies, it makes CTF pretty boring and annoying honestly.

We've tried CTF in multiple seasons, and I don't think too many people had a good time.

#13 Why isn't the Degreaser banned? in TF2 General Discussion

DrPloxoThe degreaser only further enables the things that make pyro incredibly strong. The +65% switch speed allows for flare shots and axtinguisher hits to be more reliably executed.
The stock flamethrower does the same area denial and reflects of the degreaser.

Just playing devil's advocate here, but if it's so broken, why isn't it used and abused more often? The only time I ever consider it incredibly annoying is gullywash last, and even then it's still beatable.

DrPloxoThe reason it isn't banned is as simple as when pyro is used: last defenses. The area denial and reflects are more important in that instance than the crit-switch items. For that, it's identical to the stock.

Natascha heavy was stupid shit, and you pretty much only saw it while defending last and gravelpit C. People abused the fuck out of that until it got banned.

#8 Why isn't the Degreaser banned? in TF2 General Discussion

I don't have a problem with the degreaser, but if something is really broken or op about it, no one has done anything to abuse it to the point where it's unfair.

#38 new team lf scout in Recruitment (looking for team)

lynaWhy is everyone hating on this? Cause it's stacked?

Because they will likely go undefeated and win esea-open with little to no practice at all. This roster would actually do decent in invite, and they are playing in open, l0l. I like the guys on the roster, but they should at least be in intermediate.

#13 I wanna stream! in Hardware

hookyAll you can upgrade to is a Phenom II (your motherboard only supports up to AM3, not AM3+), which is what I had. Lots of stuttering at 3.2 GHz, I doubt it would be much better at 3.4.I recently got a new computer with an i5 3570k and it's really great at stock speeds for streaming. Looking at the above, it seems like you want to go with this if you don't want to overclock. i7s, IMO, are really just marginally better i5s. You pay ~$100 more for a .1 GHz increase, hyper threading, and like two other features. Not worth it IMO. I've heard that FX processors (AMD's best processors) are not really that great for streaming.I understand you don't really want to upgrade your motherboard, but you're pretty much going to have to do that to upgrade your CPU. GPU could probably be upgraded as well, but I wouldn't worry about that as streaming puts the most pressure on your CPU. As for recommendations, this is what I have:Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=20-231-460GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161350&Tpk=his%20radeon%20hd%206870%201gbI doubt you'd be willing to pay for one, but an SSD is a nice investment. Not important, but most things load faster, especially the OS. Still, I'd focus on the motherboard and processor, but keep this in mind.

Thanks :] I'll check it out.

klananaI literally just upgraded from your same exact pc. UPGRADE IT ALL.Best 500 bucks i ever spent.

What did you upgrade to? I check out your stream from time to time and it runs incredibly smooth.

#9 I wanna stream! in Hardware

is AMD just out of the question? I don't mind spending money, it's just that I didn't feel like practically rebuilding my computer from scratch unless I had to. If doing a big upgrade is needed, I would really appreciate a few links to get me started.

#1 I wanna stream! in Hardware

Windows 7 64 bit
4GB of some PNY DDR2 RAM (~800 mhz I think)
AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 630 Processor (4 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280
ASUS M4A785-M motherboard

Forgot to mention in the thread title that the goal here is to stream TF2 with solid fps. Honestly, the last thing I wanna do is upgrade my motherboard, so if there's any way around that, that would be awesome. I'm guessing the big thing is upgrading my processor, but I'm not sure how good of an upgrade is needed and how limited my selection is.

I can run any game completely fine on my computer right now, but streaming makes it completely unplayable. I'm guessing I need to upgrade my processor?

halp pls
