Why does Heavy look like the former president of my country?
Just google "Urho Kekkonen" they're totally the same.

Heavy, no. I do not want you to encourage Medic leeching. You're better than this.

@O-(-'.'Q): which means you should log off one of valve's servers full of new players and find a real server

To be fair a soldier at full health is one that isn't rocket-jumping, which is a very rare thing.

Heh, he does look like Kekkonen. After him everyone was like "OMG, the prez is OP! Plz nerf!" And they have been reducing the president's power ever since.

@ RoderickBR:
If you want to have a real challenge just try it or watch some matches. If you are from Europe you sould visite etf2l.org you will find me and my team aswell.

I competitive Heavy is a situational class. He is way to slow so people usually choose a Soldier

Um... Guys, isn't it obvious that this is satire... I mean really? This isn't legitimate advice. And Joe knows it.

Amen to that Jo.

[url=#user_comment_217197]@Sebb[/url]: I didn't play competitive yet, but I did hear about it. You let the scouts and demo go ahead, and "leash" with a soldier (while ocasionally giving an overheal to the other soldier, if there's one) Since it's all about storming the enemy base as quickly as possible.

But but...
Quick-fix medic with soldiers is so much fun to jump around the map.

And yes even though I'm still addicted to Xcom I'll probably go back to tf2 and play away my shame when I eventually get that dreadfull full squad wipe.

I agree that TF2 feels like home...a home where someone or a team of someones storm in every time you leave and add odd, mismatching and possibly dangerous furniture.
Sebb

In competetive TF2 it works different:

-You heal scouts first since they are the strongest class.
-Than you heal demo because he deals most of the damage
-In the end you heal Soldiers.

thats theorie. In actual game it is a bit different and situation depended.

Usually if your team is smart enough, they would do an attack when they approach to get healing to prove they're not a spy. Can't have medics wasting precious time spychecking.
Proper thing to do as medic is to get everyone overhealed ASAP and of course uber. Always have a pocket for protection.

Who can blame them, anyway? Heavy takes so little skill that it doesn't matter how retarded the player is, you know they'll still be effective.

Has anyone found themselves in a situation where, as soldier, you need to get around quickly but have only like 10 health left and the medics won't heal you?
bodmans

you really should try the custom gamemods, it will almost garanteed give you another 400 hours of fun.

also, COMBAT medic FTW

"I don't think I will ever find a game which I feel so much at home as TF2"

That's because you're a dirty casual.

Good medics can maintain health on 2 players. :P usually a heavy and some other random guy near you. Also, uber rotation.
S3000

Actually, the third situation probably calls for healing the soldier. My reasoning is that if the soldier is actually near the medic, he is probably miles away from the combat. I'm talking to all those coward-medics out there.
Derek
over 11 years ago
Amen Jo, amen.

I actually think that healing soldiers is a high priority. The more you heal them, the more they can rocket jump, and the more they can rocket jump, the more effective they will be. A heavy is better at protecting you though.

hah, heal the heavy, riiiiiight. more than likely they will go kritz and attach themselves at the hip to a demoman. i honestly dont see very many uber medics anymore :(

Im not really mad out kritz demo, its just so stupidly effective that it irks me.

As a soldier, this was one of the reasons I quit playing TF2.

Ironically, when I played Medic and healed Soldiers, they would rocket jump and leave me stranded in the middle of enemy territory...

Actually this is *kind of* solid advise, the Medic's job is highly contextual but this advise is OK for a large portion of situations.
