Post subject:  TF2 tips and tricks project. Taking noobs to school!
We've been seeing an influx of new players to our servers lately, so instead of raging at them for not knowing what those glowing invincible people are,
let's educate them!

I'm looking for a variety of experienced TF2 players who want to write short guides with me about the class they feel they are best at.
We'll implement a plugin on our servers that lets players quickly see some cool tips about the class they are playing (or any class they want to know more about).

I'll mainly be proof reading and giving suggestions, so don't worry about your linguistic skills!

Sign up here if you're interested in keeping our servers as challenging as ever by taking some noobs to school!

Also, just to get told a rediculus answer again (From now on only listening to orange) how long should each guide be. Simple to read tips or would you like an in-depth guide looking at, counters, tactics, load-outs, tricks, good map advantages etc?

Sorry to Disappoint yo Mr.Orange :(

The idea is to get simple tips to improve your playing and understanding of TF2, more an enhancement guide. People will find out all the basic stuff for themselves.

Dont tell them the secrets of the spy! If they find out our weakness it will be harder to kill them. :ugly:

I was thinking about a short, concise guide mostly made up out of short phrases.

It should be a guide for beginners, but should not contain the very basic stuff ( e.g. Scouts can double jump ).
So avoid anything that could be a tip on the TF2 loading screen.

It can contain some tips about general map awareness and some tips that are specific to certain weapons.

The idea is that people can look at these tips whilst playing, so it can't force the player to be idle for a long time.
Maybe make the lay-out so a player that is looking for specific information can skip what he doesn't want to read.

Don't worry about those details now though. Just make a draft version and I'll look over it to make suggestions. :)

I suggest using the hints and tips on the loading screen as a reference for length and style, but embellish a little more so than they do on the tf2 loading screen. The information should be as quick and easy to digest as an after 8 mint. :mrgreen:

I could do some... But knowing myself I'd probably go too in-depth :>
(solly, demo, medic, sniper-don't play it if there's no need /done)
