If you're a scout in TFC thats trying to strafe jump/conc-jump w/e your way across the map, there is virtually no benefit in stopping to kill an opposing class. You had/have one job, move the flag.

That is not the case in TF2.


Which game of TFC were you playing? Ever since =BC= started out with the whole "continuous offence" thing, I think that the majority of 2fort top-spiral soldiers would disagree with your assessment that "offensive classes were next to useless at dm'ing".

One medic, every 2-3 seconds, with a primed grenade and a double-barelled shotgun. NEVER ENDING.

Fair enough, but I was hinting more on the flag running mechanic of tfc, and how some others mentioned that it was alot faster paced than tf2, maybe using the medic was a poor example, and I never really considered the soldier to be a full offensive class compared to the speed and movement of the scout or medic.
