Team Fortress Classic Hints

How should we set up defenses?

  • 1 of 5: Defenses should set up quickly.
  • 2 of 5: It may seem like a good idea to guard the capture point but the best strategic defense is to guard the entrance to your base.
  • 3 of 5: HWGuys should sit just outside the door and guard the warehouse, preventing any scouts from getting through.
  • 4 of 5: Demomen should set manual-detonation grenades just inside their team's door. They can then sit back behind the laser and wait for someone to run through.
  • 5 of 5: Otherwise, there really is no need to have major defenses.  One or two demomen and two HWGuys will suffice.  Everyone else should go on offense. There usually isn't enough time to create an elaborate set of defenses so don't worry about being perfectly positioned.
