I had to re upload this video to fix the WMG audio.
I hope this informed enough to help you guys out.
Video by tf2tactics (February 27, 2010) The intention for the buff banner was to rally the troops and give them an incentive to attack. So far this morale-booster isn't used quite often. Some may argue that it's because the effect seems minimal... So let's jump right on to the tests! With damage spread disabled the actual damage of a rocket launcher is around 100. Mini-crits add an extra 35% damage to a weapon's actual damage. 35% doesn't sound like much but let's consider the following: A soldier will need 3 rockets to kill a scout, a sniper, a spy and an engineer, however with a buff banner you can kill those targets with only 2 rockets. And you need 8 rockets to kill a buffed heavy being healed by a medic, but with a buff banner you only need 4 rockets. So in short you get a boost of damage, multiply this by the number of teamates in the area and you have a potent force by which to attack the enemy. But the best part is that mini-crits are still given a ramp-up. Which means the more mini crits you make, the more chances you get for full crits. The buff banner can be used to increase your own damage if there are no teamates around. More soldiers are beginning to utilize the banner for personal gains. Use the banner in conjunction with an uber, altho sometimes it's not practical, requiring a skilled soldier to make use of the ...

Video by andyroo89 (February 24, 2010) Sorry if the title seems childish I have been wanting to try this for a while to see how effective buff banner sentry gun is compared to Regular un buff sentry gun. I hope to see this being effective in game.
Video by owen1150 (February 21, 2010) Some tests and results to show what health gives what speed. It's always great to see more of the community do their own tests!
Video by wolfer255 (August 12, 2009) A real video of 2 sniper's arrows colliding in midair! Damn i was lucky that i recorded this Though it was done on achievement server i dont think it cuz of that that the arrows hit. enjoy. That's very interesting, altho there are relatively no chances of that happening in game, or that it would matter lol. Still... that's pretty cool.
Video by tf2tactics (February 18, 2010) In this edition we added direct hit tests, as well as regular rocket launcher tests, added more examples, and added a way to deal with tanking engineers. A regular rocket launcher can kill a level 3 sentry gun with 3 rockets, and the direct hit can kill it, with only 2 rockets. But it is important to note, that if there is an engineer repairing it, both weapons cannot kill a sentry gun head on. So the trick is not to hit the sentry gun directly, but to use the floor and the walls or even the dispenser itself, to create splash damage that will hit the engineer, the sentry gun and the dispenser all at once. If we follow this logic, there are 2 paths: - the engineer can repair his sentry or dispenser and then die in the process - or the engineer can choose to run away Both of which results in a successful destruction of a sentry gun. Which brings us to another tactic. If the engineer is busy or not paying attention, and as long as he doesn't see your rockets coming. You can usually destroy it, before he can repair his sentry. Remember it only takes 1.5 seconds from the moment of impact to destroy a sentry and the direct hit takes less than a second to do it! ---- 1st Edition Description ---- from: http://www.tf2tactics.com/entry.php?...r-Sentry-Kills ...
Video by WMDFoxhound (February 14, 2010) Here's a short video I made of why people are still seeing cheaters on their servers even with sv_pure set to 1. They are using the wrong restrictions. If you were to change this, it would mean that even if hackers had the skins installed, they would still only see the original files. Well... if you're shocked to learn about this, so am I! Coming from a guy who knows a little more about TF2 than the regular player, I really felt like a noob that I didn't know about this. Server admins need to recheck their configs for this. This post is not meant to ferment more cheaters but instead to create more awareness about the subject matter.
Video by tf2tactics (February 10, 2010) source: http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=1656 "The rate of healing actually ramps up based on the amount of time since the heal target was last injured. If it's been greater than 10 seconds since the target was hurt, the heal rate is increased. The amount of increase ramps linearly up to 3 times the base heal rate at 15 seconds since the target was hurt. So if you're healing a target who's been hurt less than 10 seconds ago, you'll only be getting the base heal rate of 24 health a second. If the target was hurt 12.5 seconds ago, you'll be healing at 48 health a second. If the target hasn't been hurt for over 15 seconds, you'll be getting the maximum heal rate of 72 health a second." -Valve The reason behind this is valve wanted to encourage the duck and cover behaviour among players. Little tweaks like these is the reason why TF2 is the best team strategy game online.

Video by christianmalazarte (January 29, 2010) In this video we talk about the different ways to kill a sentry: - Side Sticky - Strafe Sticky / Pipe - Pipe the Engineer - Aim for the Top of the Sentry - Jump then Pipe / Sticky - Sticky Vertically - Use your Teamates as Shield - Stickies Weakness - can be shot - can be blown away - too slow at long range - Pipe Weakness - hard to aim - have to be a direct hit Tests: - How many stickies to kill a level 1, 2 or 3 sentry - How many pipes with direct hit - How many bounced pipes - Can a level 3 dispenser keep up with the damage? Notes: - There's a reason why the demoman weapons arc, it is the only class that can kill a sentry without direct line of sight. - General Rule: If you have a straight line of sight use pipes because it hits harder and faster, if you have to use corners use stickies. - When you use pipes as long as it lands close to the sentry it doesn't matter if you miss or don't cause a direct hit, since the pipes on the floor will kill the engineer anyway, and then you're free to kill the sentry. - The difference between soldier and demo: soldiers are reliant upon killing the engineer first. while demoman can kill the sentry without killing the engineer ...
