- GameTips - Purpose of Team Fortress It should be obvious, but it seems as if many players miss it.
Look at the first word in "Team Fortress". Ahh, get it? Yup,
this is no ordinary deathmatch game, where it's everyone for
his or herself. There are some people who play TF as such,
though. If you want a disoriented frag fest, with classes,
check out Future vs Fantasy (FvF). I am by no means saying
such a game is bad (hell, chaos is good once in a while),
but for the most part, that's not what Team Fortress is all
about. In TF, teams are pitted against each other. They have to work
together in order to: 1) secure their base, and 2) score against
the enemy. Sometimes scoring is done via flag capturing (a la CTF).
Or sometimes it requires damaging parts of the enemy base (like in
Havoc). In any case, coordination is something teams should be
doing, if they want to win. Although we all love killing, being #1 on the frag list doesn't
necessarily mean you're good at TF. If you're fragging everybody,
but letting the enemy team score against you, and not scoring
against them ... you're not a good TF player. A great killer
perhaps, but it would undoubtedly be better for your team if
you adapted to the TF style. So what does this all mean? Simple. You will take a rocket
blast if it means protecting the flag carrier. You will patiently
defend your own flag. You will tell others where the enemy is.
You will go out of your way to detpack-open grates and holes.
You will go after spies that threaten to backstab your teammates.
You live, frag, and die for your team. And you will have a helluva
fun time doing so.
Defense Defending your base is one of the most important jobs you can
do for your team. After all, you want to make the enemy team
work if they want to score, right? Fortunately, this is one of
the easier things to do in TF. Respawn points are generally near
the flag, as are ammo/armor supplies. Enemies that come your way
are likely to be damaged already. And most maps have choke points
so that you know where they're coming from as well. There are two types of defense: base defense and score defense.
The former is the first line of defense. It's their job to injure,
if not kill, the enemy before they reach the score area. This is
the role Snipers usually play: kill the enemy the moment they start
heading towards your base. Engineers are also necessary. Their
sentries should try to catch anyone who happens to slip past the
Sniper. Players of other classes should situation themselves in
whatever choke points happen to be in the map. What you don't want
to do is let a person roam around your base unscathed. Doing so is
dangerous for your fellow Snipers/Engineers and more importantly,
your second (and often last) line of defense. Finally, if anyone
does happen to get past you, and starts heading towards the
flag/score area, it's important that you alarm your teammates. Score area defenders play a crucial role. Often, if they fail,
the result is a victory for the enemy. Its their job to stop the
enemy, at all costs. Unfortunately, this is a role often unfulfilled,
because players get bored waiting for the enemy to come. Just
remember, though, that this job is vital ... and easy. As mentioned
before, it doesn't take much to frag someone who's gone through an
entire base of hell.
Offense Opposite of Defense is, of course, Offense. This is probably the
more exciting job of the two. But easily the most dangerous. IMHO, there's really no easy way to subdivide offense. There is
just so much you can do to help your team. Usually, an offensive
run consists of doing a wide variety of things, which hopefully
make it easier for those following you to score. Some things you
can do: scout (tell your teammates where Sentries are), go on a
Sniper/Sentry hunt, distract the base defense, clear out a path,
escort teammates, or even try to score yourself. Whatever you do, remember your team. Yes, it may be fun to camp
and annoy the hell out of the enemy. But if a teammate is requesting
backup, or needs to have the flag picked up, or requires health/ammo,
etc., be prepared to help. I know I'm sometimes guilty of going on a
simple minded fragfest, while forgetting the purpose of my mission.
Sometimes you just have to break away, and sacrifice yourself for
the good of the team. Once the enemy flag/key has been retrieved, you'll obviously want
to score with it if possible. If you happen to lose it, BE SURE to
tell your teammates where it is. Once the flag is out in the open,
the most important thing to do is to keep it alive, by merely touching
it. With enough communication and teammwork, you should eventually be
able to take it far enough to score. As important as offense is, be prepared to help your team defend if
necessary. Obviously, it is not a good idea to send the entire team
after the enemy flag, leaving yours ripe for the taking. Don't stretch
your resources too thin. Finally, injuring incoming enemy offensive
units will definately help your defenders in the long run. You don't
need to chase after them, but give 'em a few rockets or nails as a
greeting. :)
Basic Class Tips The best thing you can do for your team is choose a class that you're
good at, and that they're lacking. Nowadays, classes like Snipers and
Engineers are a must. (So are Soldiers and Medics but a team almost
always has enough of them) Please don't choose a class if you're not
good with them, though. All you do is waste ammo and time.
(Use small, really unimportant games to practice new classes,
or perhaps games in which your team is simply dominating) Obviously, it's important that you know the strengths and
weaknesses of each class. Take note of the benefits and problems,
and use them to predict the actions of your enemy. "Knowledge is
power", so read up! Be aware of the speed differences. Namely, don't go chasing after
Scouts if you're a Heavy Weapons Guy. If you think you have a
chance of catching up (Soldier vs Demoman, go ahead and try, but
don't waste too much of your time if the pursuit turns hopeless.
The Grenades Use them! Regular hand-grenades are supposedly twice as powerful
as normal grenade-launcher ones. Great for parties with the enemy!
Bounce them around corners, lob them onto balconies. Use them on
sentries, Hwguys, other unsuspecting villains, and watch the
fireworks! Also get to know the special grenades as well. Some are rather
piddly, but others can result in near instant death. Nail Grenades
Used by Soldiers. Somewhat powerful, and they can really clear
out a room! Best used if thrown into a small room with lots of
enemies. (Ever try the ammo rooms in 2fort4? Gibs of fun!) Note
however, that nail grenades are notorious for causing lag and
crashing servers. It's not fun for the server to record where
every nail in the grenade is. (I personally made a big boo boo
when I threw, uhh, 6 or so nail grenades into the top level in
Havoc32) MIRV Grenades
Can we say cheap? Gobs of fun and gibs o' plenty. These little
nasties will spew forth multiple grenades, in attempt to blast
open anyone within its range. They're probably the Engineer's
worst nightmare, since many o' MIRV has "dismantled" a sentry. EMP Grenades
Used by Engineers. Not much to them. Use 'em like normal grenades.
However, they pack a much LARGER punch. (Most blasts seem to result
in instant death) They're supposed to blow up the ammo of anyone
in range. Maybe if you didn't carry any ammo, you'd survive? :) Concussion Grenades
These really annoy me. Basically, they cause your view to shift
around automatically. Moving around is still possible, but firing
is unwise (and dangerous if you're a Soldier). I've heard of
Medics "grenade jumping" using these things. Must be hard, but
definately a good ability to have. Flash Grenades
Yet another "annoying" grenade. Used by Scouts to blind their
foes (momentarily) and slip through unsuspected. As with
concussions, it's usually not a good idea to fire ... who
knows who or what you'll hit? (Can we say: "Wall blast?") Hallucinogen Grenades
Used by Spies. Not terribly effective, though. It's sort of
like the nail grenade, in that rooms will be cleared (for quite
a long time I might add). But they're not likely to kill anyone,
unless you happen to tranquilize enemy players into them. In any
case, they sort of give away the Spy. Napalm Grenades
Used by Pyros. These used to be not that powerful, but in the
latest version these can be deadly. Now they continuously burst
into flame. They can be used to block off passages and just as
good as a mirv grenade for taking out sentries. It's great for
damaging incoming enemies. Flares
Finally, the last "special" grenade isn't even a grenade at
all ... it's the flare. Used by Snipers. Flares seem to work
best when used to light up those shadowy areas Snipers like to
lurk in. The Sniper can now chuck the flare pretty far. But
wouldn't it have been nice what if Snipers were able to SHOOT
flares, via the Sniper Rifle? Knowing the Levels One of the most important tips I can give: know the levels. Also,
learn how to score in them. It never ceases to amaze me how many
people take the key to the wrong place in the Rock or how many
players don't know where the control room is in Havoc. Do your
teammates a favor and read the DOCs. Or at the very least, don't
pick up keys/flags if you don't know where they go.
There's nothing more irritating than watching a teammate in the
Rock bring the key to YOUR base. It's also important to know where the choke points and
Sniper / Sentry hideouts are. If you know where to expect the
enemy, you'll probably find a way to surprise THEM instead of
vice versa. Also, I've found it much easier to bounce grenades
into areas with Sentries, rather than attack one head on. :)
