Give me some tips

[dratomik]

I need some tips on how to be a better demoman. On my list he's my best for points, at 23. but that was against a few newbies.

I'm pretty good as a soldier, I can join a 5 game server and have 100-200 points by the time its done, whoo hoo!

but usually demomen are the hardest guys for me to kill, and they get awesome scores. I guess I'm just not that good with my sticky nades as an offensive weapon. All I was wondering was how they do it so well. It seems everytime I try and lay a few down and track back, I never kill the guy in time, and if he retreats, I can never hit him with enough stickys before he gets away or goes to where there is lots of his team mates. I know you can charge your stickys, and I've had a few awesome kills that way, but I still suck as a demo on average.

BTW, if you ever see me playing and you have a mic, just tell me you need a medic and I'll follow you around. If you end up dying, I retreat and wait for you to spawn. I love trying to get lots of uber's in one life. my best is 5.

The gamers who are good at demo only use that class so its practise makes perfect . The skill is shooting sticky bombs where you think the enemy is going not straight at them because by the time your bomb lands they will have moved , obviously this takes a bit of practise . If you can't place sticky quickly enough and are being run down turn around and drop them at your feet then detonate usually the enemy gets blown up because he thinks he is in for an easy kill and will chase you not noticing the sticky bombs .

How to play demo: Don't shoot when you see them, shoot before you see them. Just shoot in places players tend to go (around corners and such), and never stop. I got 7 dominations at once as demoman the other day on Dustbowl by doing this. Just set stickies around the corner, and shoot grenades at the space around the corner. If they make it to your stickies, blow 'em up and reset.

Arcturian is right with his ideas about setting traps but stickys are a very versatile weapon. The key is prediction, u need 2 learn what speed each class runs at so you can time when they will reach your stickys.
Another key thing about playing demo is you have 2 think what class your fighting against e.g a scout needs 1 crit to kill so place one down and leave him come to it but on the other hand a heavy will need 2 crits and a few normal stickys so he will destroy you if he gets up close so retreat and kill with a trap or charged stickys. hope this helps

anything else just ask
