Most battles could also be fought royalley these days, however some nonetheless prefer to battle within the olden methods. Team Fortress 2 is alive, kicking, and internet hosting a 6v6 event explicitly for novices. It’s referred to as the Fresh Meat Challenge 2, it begins in a few weeks, and in case you’ve ever considered taking part in aggressive TF2 then you need to completely think about signing up. I dipped my toes into these waters a few years in the past, and it was wild.
It’s being run by the European Team Fortress 2 League, so all of the matches can be performed throughout European evenings. Signups shut on the eighth of April, and the event itself begins on the ninth.
You can solely take part in case you’ve performed lower than 10 matches in ETF2L tournaments – until you play as a Medic. Each workforce is allowed as much as two “Buddies” who’re restricted to that class, letting them information their newbies with out dominating the game. Neat!
More particulars might be discovered on the announcement post, which begins with a greater promote than I can provide you with so I’m gonna steal it. You ought to be part of IF:
- You wish to play aggressive TF2 however you’re afraid you’re not adequate.
- You wish to play aggressive TF2 however you discover it exhausting to discover a workforce.
- You wish to play aggressive TF2 however you don’t have any concept what you’re doing.
To provide you with some concept of what you’re doing, 6v6 matches are usually fought with a Medic, two Scouts, two Soldiers and a Demoman. It says so proper right here in this handy guide.
It’s fascinating how little has modified. When I performed (virtually a decade in the past, wat), straying too removed from that composition spelled catastrophe. I used to play a Scout who’d sometimes have wild success when swapping to a Spy, then neglect that solely actually works simply after you’ve swapped and folks aren’t always riddling their teamates with spy-sniffing bullets.
Gosh, I really like the Spy. He’s nonetheless the perfect character in any multiplayer game ever, even on this trendy age of holograms and grappling hooks.
I simply requested myself if I choose TF2 or Apex Legends and now my head hurts. Go, sign up, I have to suppose.
