hey all, its me the shibby, um i'm a new guy here i haven't quite gotten the swing of things but i'll get it, anyway, i beleive we should have a night for noobies vs pros, in like two of the ville rooms, like the noobs are red team and pros are blue team or sumthin, but ok thats just an idea of mine, lataz

Sound like a good formula for a blood bath to me. The noobs could call ourselves the "banana noobs" -- we come in green turn yella and die off in bunches.

How about a "mentor" night. Where a pro and a noob play on the same side and the pro works with the noob to improve their skill.

It was just a thought OK!

A BALL MOUSE?! you mean one of those horrible trackball mice? I can't see anyone but architects and drafters using those things. The best mouse for TFC I think is what I got now.

5 button Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0
Optical Wheelmouse.

I prefer the corded USB PS/2 because cordless mice you have to change the batteries. This mouse is super precise, and has 5 buttons for binding special commands like airstrikes, grenades, and detonating dispensers etc.

Who would decide who was pro and who wasn't?

A little something too. For Newbs. When I first started playing TFC I picked whatever class I felt like alot. I learned a large genral knowledge of the classes and got to use them pretty well. Especially Soldier and Sniper. After a while, I noticed the lack of really good HW's on the servers. I like a challenge, so I started practicing with HW. I practiced in empty servers, timing grenades, and jumping around, learning the maps. This was back in June. I started playing TFC I think in May, maybe July this year. But my biggest improvement has come lately, All I play is HW so I know everything about how he moves, and attacks and evades. I'm doing reeally well now because of this. Might I suggest you pick a favorite, and learn everything about it, and be the best at it you have ever seen. I've accomplished much in just a few months. Plus it doesn't hurt to have a fast connection.

Wow you guys have all these fancy mice. I just have a two button microsoft mouse with a mousewheel.

Indeed, I have the same 5 button MS optical mouse and its great. Both Grenades , firing and menus all with a mouse click. 5th button for class specific functions (like airstrikes, or detonate dispenser etc) Highly recommend the afore mention mouse.

I'm worse, I use a logitech 4 button wheel mouse AND a lefthanded fancy joystick. I use the mouse to aim, turn, fire and throw gren1 and the wheel to choose weapons.

I use the joystick to move - forward, backward, and left & right strafe. I use the joystick fire button for gren2 and some of its remaining buttons to jump, duck and reload. I also have a twist setting on the joystick which will turn me very fast. It also has a top hat which allows me to walk forward backward, walk-strafe left & right.

BUT I still suck. Practice, Practice, Practice. No time, no time, no stinking free time. DOH!!

yeah the first time i played tfc was at a friends and he had a track ball mouse, the ball was under the thumb and i got used to aimin like that
its easier to run around in a circle too, because you don't have to worry about the pad, i should get a bot so i can practice, and get better and maybe one day in the distant future i could be on the top five

Wow, this totally turned into a mouse topic. But the idea of "mentoring" is something I've been thinking about for a while, actually. (Not me doing the mentoring, mind you.) It would be a neat idea to set aside a server, and bring in one or two "elite" players to basically demonstrate what they do, and give tips and tricks. I'm betting there are a lot of people who would gladly volunteer to come in and be the "designated god" for a night, and a lot of newb/intermediate players who would show up to soak in the knowledge. Anyone else think it's a good idea? (Hmmm, I'm fighting the urge to cross-post right now.)
