Am I doing something wrong. Every time I attempt to play as soldier...

Incase you don’t know, damage fall off means the further you are = damage is reduced. This happens to everyone’s ranged weapons except sniper’s rifles and bows iirc

What's that?

Holy shit, so even if I directly hit a target from a long distance.away it does much less damage than hitting the same thing in the same spot up close?

>mfw most of my kills with soldier also result in my death due to splash Damage

Network settings that affect hit registration and many other things. Default interp is horrible and rockets fire on your screen .1s after you shoot. You can change interp so that instead of shooting .1s later you can lower it to .0152s.

Reminder to use cl_interp 5 as spy

I cant believe the tf2 community is so retarded they think this is how spies are getting 4 second old backstabs when it just people exploiting old snapshots.

Yeah thats what damage fall off is. Its in a lot of games especially with shotguns. I think its to try create more up close and personal fights rather than rocket sniping from across the map.
I like rocket sniping though

Wait.
Wait.

Is this why I can't hit with projectiles at all?
Explain more.

Ruling out all other major factors like aiming and whatnot it can explain it. Most, if not all of TF2's default settings are god awful and should be changed almost immediately once you realize how bad they are

You notice interp more when it comes to projectiles. Have you never noticed how delayed rockets are relative to when you pressed LMB?

Off the top of my head, the one thing I think of is how the huntsman arrow only fire after a tiny delay.
It makes it feel unusable.

please explain how to do this. is there some secret technique? i only get small air or none at all when i try.

Well try changing your cl_interp to .0152 and see if you can notice a difference. Though it doesn't matter if you do or not since lower interp is usually always better, unless you have some pretty high ping. All projectiles and hitscan weapons should be affected by this.

He's using the sticky jumper, it's basically the stickybomb launcher but it doesn't do any damage whatsoever. It's good for practicing explosive jumping. Soldier has one too for the rocket launcher. Generally when you explosive jump you want to jump, hold crouch, and shoot the ground at a certain angle in one quick motion.

tell me the stuff that totally ruins your experience

He isn't using the sticky jumper though, you can see the charging particles when he is launched.

Strafe better while trimping

can't use the jumper and a shield at the same time

>airstrafe while in the air
Thats all there is to it

>game is clearly one sided
>type votescramble in chat
>autist gets pissed off and rants about much he hates people who want to scramble the team

Yeah I'm retarded. He's clearly trimping like said. You can pull off some pretty funky shit with Demoknight if you use a Tide Turner youtube.com/watch?v=U8CUglLmYec

He is using the charging targe on the slope to go flying, then he surfs on the cabin slope

>constantly getting headshotted by snipers
people always say he sucks but god damn I get ass ravaged when a good sniper keeps shutting everyone down. im not good with sniper either

Snipers are one of these people
