Team Fortress 2 Training - Map Tactics RSS Feed

mouse port on MB died...no time...No Server.

It happened in that order. It looks like training sessions aren't going to happen for at least 6 weeks. I hope to have everything smoothed out and start up training again around mid April. By then I should have my student loan paid off, a new 1333Mhz motherboard and DDR3 1333Mhz RAM with a 3.0Ghz (1333Mhz FSB) quad core processor installed; plus, start getting some parts to get my car back on the road. Then I'll be able to buy a server and do the training up right...including spending some time developing some training maps that use bots for practice i.e. an engineering bot who keeps building a dispenser and sentry so you can practice sap & stab, etc.

Dustbowl was all we covered!

It's amazing how complicated Dustbowl is. I intended to cover 2fort and Gravelpit during the same day, but Dustbowl took 2 hours. So, I suspect Hydro have the same problem. Now I'm looking at breaking the map tactics up into 4 separate sections:

Dustbowl
2fort & Gravelpit
Hydro
Well & Granary

So, next week we can have some map tactic discussions for 2fort and Gravelpit.

Map Tactics covering all maps is just too long

I tried to run through the maps quickly, but it took 2-1/2 hours. We covered all the standard maps except for Dustbowl which we only did part of the first section before we gave up.

I think I'll need to break up map tactics into two parts:

1. 2fort, Gravelpit, and Dustbowl.
2. Well, Granary, and Hydro.

This way we can finish in 2 hours and cover the maps properly.

Only zifn15 showed up for Map Tactics training

We covered 2fort and Hydro then he had to go.

I went on to gravelpit and practiced placing a teleporter on the roof of CP B. I also worked out placing a sentry on the rocks in the middle of CP A; though I think if there are 2 engineers then placing sentries on the roofs at the two entrances would work better.

Map Tactics Session moved to 2PM!

I've had to reschedule the Sunday noon Map Tactics start time to 2PM. I race an rFactor Forumula One Simulator and the races start at 11AM on Sunday...I had forgotten about it when I initially posted the event. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Welcome to Map Tactics

This Sunday at 2PM will be the first Map Tactic session. I'll try to cover all the special cases which come up in the standard maps. We can also try out some stuff if we don't know the answer. Bring questions!
