- lava, on 12/09/2007, -0/+151Wow, seriously? Most people play as scouts? I would have thought soldier or engineer. And the least popular one is medic. I knew it.. there's never enough ***** medics.
- lordtyros, on 12/09/2007, -0/+63Baseball batting a heavy to death via high-speed circlestrafe is funnier than *****.
- jt18, on 12/09/2007, -3/+62Only 2.1% of people have the "With Friends Like These" achievement... its probably the hardest one to get since it involves skills outside of gaming.
- wileyAU, on 12/09/2007, -0/+55The strangest thing to me is that the blue team has a greater winning percentage on 2fort. I mean, on control point maps, you can see how there would be certain imbalances toward the offense or defense, but 2fort is a mirror between the two sides!
- Barbega, on 12/09/2007, -1/+54I love how valve do stuff like this, it sho...SPIES SAPPING MY SENTRY!
- gypsi, on 12/09/2007, -0/+37here's a tip to people who wonder why there's aren't enough medics. less people like to play them, and medics are generally treated like *****
- Spetz, on 12/09/2007, -1/+36MP heat maps are something I've wanted to see for quite a while now. They're cool, but most of the time they are predictable with all the main choke points and objectives coming up, but they do throw up a few surprises.
- theinsane, on 12/09/2007, -0/+34A backstab isn't treated as a critical hit - you'll also notice that the knife's avg damage per hit is about 97.
- gmiley, on 12/09/2007, -2/+33I don't know what you're talking about, I love playing medic, and 90% of the time while I am playing said medic, people listen to me when I give orders over voice chat. I rarely have people stray too far away from me which gives me all the cover I need. People know that if they stick with a medic long enough they will get the ubercharge shield, then it's ***** smack-down-city.
- Vzylexy, on 12/09/2007, -0/+29The Scout is a very powerful class if you know how to use them properly, and yes, circlestrafing a Heavy and batting him to death is the best form of entertainment.
- manmademark, on 12/09/2007, -6/+32Valve and nintendo are the last two respectable gaming companies. Even if they don't listen to everything people say in their forums (mostly because its whining) they still keep in touch with the community with stats like these. They're probably going to release a few new maps as they did with CS:S when it first hit the market, and as a bonus they're giving us these new achievements. It's safe to say this company has its finger on the pulse.
- bossm4n, on 12/09/2007, -4/+29Get that weak ass console FPS ***** outta here. Real gamers are talking.
- Jforsyth89, on 12/09/2007, -1/+25This is very impressive and interesting to look at. I especially like the death maps at the bottom of the page.
I hope Valve releases some stats like these for CS:S - centran, on 12/09/2007, -1/+24Critical hits happen semi-randomly. The knife doesn't need a critical hit it does enough damage to be an instant kill.
- ice101a, on 12/09/2007, -0/+23No love for the Pyro??
- lava, on 12/09/2007, -0/+19Blue spies definitely have the edge in 2fort. There's two good places to hide: right in front of the red fort (there's two boxes that hide you from the sides) and right outside red's sewer stairs (the boxes there are tall enough to hide you).
- NTolerance, on 12/09/2007, -0/+19If you do that the scout says "eat it, fatty!"
- MalDON, on 12/09/2007, -0/+17The problem is there is equally the same amount of people who think it's overcharge and don't know what to do with it, like run back to base when you uber them. I've seen some medics be treated as a person's bitch.
- yohnstoppable, on 12/10/2007, -0/+17They should do a chart about how much people bitch when a certain map comes up. 2fort would win that by a landslide
- bossm4n, on 12/09/2007, -0/+17I actually love playing medic. And nothing is as gratifying as a bonesaw kill.
- MalDON, on 12/09/2007, -0/+16The baseball bat is such an awesome weapon. When the person see's you coming they are thinking to themselves "Ah *****..."
- ez12a, on 12/09/2007, -0/+15people who play medic have to understand it isnt about the # of kills.
- asdfrewq, on 12/09/2007, -0/+15I'm a little surprised that medics don't rate higher in the average points chart. It seems to me that a good medic, will generally score at or close to the top of their team. On the other hand, most people who chose medic don't seem to be all that good at it anyway. Running out of cover when their medigun will easily reach it's target, using uber too soon or holding it too long, or trying to heal the whole team all the time (pick one or two decent players and stick with them, heal others only when you have the chance... they'll understand ;)
Personally, I always have a blast playing medic, especially if i'm on a team that understands the medics role and plays accordingly. - Durinthal, on 12/09/2007, -0/+15I just started playing TF2 in the past couple of weeks (never played any previous version), and I have to say it's a lot of fun even without a wide variety of maps available. As a Pyro, ambushing people when they pop around a corner is great.
- Asianwaste, on 12/09/2007, -1/+15Didn't know the bonesaw had such a high crit rate. I figured it was just damn powerful
- h4mx0r, on 12/09/2007, -0/+14Some fairly interesting stats, although most of them are expected, like Engineers have the longest life span, Medics get most assist points, etc. etc.
Although I did find it weird that Scouts were relatively low on damage output/kills because they are actually pretty good. Just really fast, kinda like playing Unreal Tournament except with a shotgun. Obviously they have the highest flag cap though... - max420, on 12/09/2007, -2/+16This is really cool. I love how Valve tracks all these stats. They are really interesting to go over once compiled. More game companies should do this. Not only for fans who may be interested, but this stuff must be pure gold to developers.
- ExplosiveDuck, on 12/09/2007, -3/+16Valve really just does things right over and over again.
TF2 is so polished, so fun.
Here's to hoping we get some new maps in the next couple weeks. - Rickler, on 12/09/2007, -5/+17Everyone hates granary!
- FattyCorpuscle, on 12/09/2007, -0/+12So that was you!
- Rikushix, on 12/09/2007, -1/+13These are pretty cool. Have they ever done this for HL2: DM? If so, I'd like to see them.
- Nickface, on 12/09/2007, -2/+13And when the person runs off into a room full of sentries and gets cut down almost immediately, it's not their fault because they rushed it, it's the "retard medic" for not "doing his job."
Being blamed for other people's failures and getting cursed out and insulted are the biggest reasons I don't play as a medic. - AttackingHobo, on 12/10/2007, -0/+11No, the spy has an "Electro Sapper" not and "Electro Zapper."
- Unsanity, on 12/09/2007, -0/+11I'm kind of curious to find out why the fireaxe damage distance is so much greater than the other melee weapons...Maybe I'm missing something obvious but it seems like it would be the same.
- PhrosTT, on 12/09/2007, -3/+14i get in a so many lobbies where people are saying everybody should mutually friend each other so they all get that acheivement - i tend to not friend them as it's stupid and acheivement points have an inverse relationship with real life acheivement.
- triblinator, on 12/09/2007, -3/+13Lol! "Button Mash" "L-button" - play pc, loser.
- gmiley, on 12/09/2007, -2/+12These stats only seem to be over a 7 day period. I would chalk that up to a statistical anomaly. I bet it would even itself out over a larger time-span, say a couple months.
- lava, on 12/09/2007, -0/+10Seriously guys, the forts are not "identical". There are little spaces on Red's fort that let people hide better.
- CompIsMyRx, on 12/09/2007, -1/+10I always thought red won more often on dustbowl. Now I know I'm not crazy.
- pcflea, on 12/10/2007, -0/+9I use mine to butter my buns.
- ScionX, on 12/09/2007, -1/+10Bungie does this as well
- joegibes, on 12/10/2007, -0/+9I choose auto-select EVERY TIME... I wish more people would as well.
- d3sp, on 12/09/2007, -1/+10The only class I play is Medic, hate everything else. Get a friend that's an awesome heavy and just roll their team.
- macrymble, on 12/10/2007, -0/+9i think you mean, "SPIES SAPPIN' MAH SENTRY!"
- Asianwaste, on 12/09/2007, -0/+8Hey, nice shootin' there tough guy!
- f4nt0m4s, on 12/09/2007, -0/+8my favorite scout quote is "Makin' bacon!" after you beat someone down, i definitely got a few LOLs after that
the scout's shotgun is insane when you combine it with the scout's ridiculous speed - bleys, on 12/09/2007, -1/+9There is asymmetry on gravelpit and dustbowl -- the blue team is attacking, the red team is defending. This may subconsciously bias aggressive players towards picking blue, and rushing is generally a good strategy in 2fort.
- lava, on 12/09/2007, -4/+12I'm surprised at the 2fort heat map, I thought most people died on the bridge or the "patio" of each fort.
By the way, if you want to play with a fellow digger, friend me on steam. My username is lava - fluffyturtle, on 12/09/2007, -0/+8The sniper stats don't surprise me, it is like that in pretty much every game that has a sniper class.
- yohnstoppable, on 12/10/2007, -0/+8No joke. I love running into the enemy spawn on dustbowl and setting them all on fire as the game starts.
