Team Fortress Classic Hints

How should we defend our flag?

  • 1 of 5: One of the worst things you could is have about 3 or 4 engineers swarming around the flag building sentry guns.  They make easy targets for spies to disguise themselves as.
  • 2 of 5: Instead, designate one of the engineers as manager of flag defenses.  Have whatever engineers you have available come down and build a sentry gun. After that, they leave and go fight enemies as engineers.
  • 3 of 5: The defense-manager hangs around and works on the sentry guns.  This will help keep traffic out of the basement and prevent spies disguised as engineers from getting to the flag.
  • 4 of 5: A good idea might also be to station an HWGuy right in front of the semi-spiral ramp exit in the basement.  Anyone who tries to come through gets pounded.
  • 5 of 5: Have an engineer set up a dispenser upstairs that blocks the door to the elevator room.  Chances are an enemy will have to destroy it to take that route.  The engineer will know if the dispenser has been destroyed.
