[PC Game] Would you guys want a dedicated Game server for Halforums?

I just tried connecting to the server, had a ping of around 220 to 230. Which probably limits me to Turtlegineer if I do play with you guys.

Damn. So it's not friendly AT ALL to our overseas friends. But if we got a server that was closer to you I think we miss a lot of our base. Crap.
 
dave, if you want to do well without a lot of effort, just play heavy.

Whenever you spin up the minigun, always jump first. Whenever you go around corners, jump and spin.
Be aware of sniper lines. Avoid them whenever possible. Try to keep to relatively confined spaces. The more people who can shoot at you, the worse off you'll be.
Right-click with the sandvich equipped to drop it. This gives you ammo and everyone else health. Use it to give your medic health.
When nothing is really going on, shoot behind you every so often.
 
It's also a good idea for new players to play Medic. You're not required to shoot and kill people, you just 1) Keep your team mates alive, and 2) Do your best to not die. Plus it gives you a chance to follow other players around, and watch how they play their classes.

I find it interesting how Medic is both a good newbie class and a crucial class for every level of competitive play.

A good medic can make all the difference for a team. Actually, a mediocre medic can make all the difference; I say that as a middling medic who has seen just how much a difference can be made switching to the class.

Buddy of mine who I just got them started on the game was incredibly frustrated, until I switched to a healer and followed him around. All of a sudden he was unstoppable and loving everything.
