I didn't win any sniper duels last night, but I did manage a stalemate (hit the other fellow once, made him run), which is a huge improvement on my previous outings.
I've been playing scout more often since the scout pack (DURRRR), though that's mostly on CP maps like Granary or Badlands. But I've been wanting to try and balance my playtimes a little more (Been in an engie/soldier/pyro rut) and also I'm one achievement away from both the KGB and the Kritzkreig.
Last night, I played a lot more of classes that I haven't been playing much and did half-decently well, so no complaints. I did have two questions that came to mind:
1 - What are your best tips for Demoman? I really want to be better with this class. In other games I've been amazing with indirect fire weapons (I used to be KING SHIT with the flak cannon in UT, though that's an easier weapon to use). And the Demoman's design flavour and playstyle (hang back, pick targets, troll people, issue loads of indiscriminate justice) should really mesh with the way I like to play when I'm not going BER-ZER-KER. But all I can seem to manage is utter mediocrity on a good day. I think it's just a matter of practice (he is after all, my third-least played class, after sniper and SPAH), but advice can't hurt.
2 - So what do you guys usually have your mouse sensitivity set to? I think mine's around 13-15. I've been training myself to use high-sensitivity for years both for faster reaction times in FPSes and to reduce Carpal Tunnel dangers in everyday use and it's worked well, but I do have an uppper limit and that seems to be about it (at this speed I already lose some fine snap-targeting ability, but the tradeoff is still worth it).
