Tf2 how to dance

Square Dance - Official TF2 Wiki

From Team Fortress Wiki

(Redirected from Square dance)

Jump to: navigation, search

The Square Dance is a special taunt for all classes.

Once started, the player begins dancing in place in a ready position as a fiddle plays the opening bars on a loop or holds a sustained note. When another player, regardless of team or if they own the taunt (including bots), taunts in front of them, the two will link arms and perform a square dance accompanied by the fiddle playing a reel. Taunting again or jumping before another player accepts will end the taunt.

For the voice lines of each class, please refer to the respective class taunts pages.

February 11, 2015 Patch

• [Undocumented] Action taunts no longer drop for Premium account players.

August 11, 2022 Patch

• Updated the description.

Bugs

• Sometimes the animations for the Square Dance will not play correctly, and will instead show the idle animation of the class currently in the taunt.
• Occasionally, The Spy will have one of his weapons out during the idle animation.
• If an Engineer dies during the dance, the shooting sound effect of his finger guns will still play.

Trivia

• The animations for the Square Dance and several other taunts added in the Love and War Update were added to the game in the Scream Fortress 2013 event, as shown in this video uploaded on November 1st, 2013.
• Various classes have different reactions to the taunt.
  • At the end of the dance animation, if at least one of the players is an Engineer, he will pretend to pull pistols out of his pockets then proceed to shoot them in the air, this is accompanied by a gunfire sound effect. This is most likely a reference to the fact that the Engineer is from Texas where square-dancing is a popular style of dance.
  • At the end of the dance animation, if at least one of the players is a Pyro, they will throw fire out of their hand.
  • The Demoman will appear to be drunk during this taunt.
  • If at least one of the players is a Spy, he will show major disgust and embarrassment when initiating the taunt, during the taunt and after the taunt has finished.

Class roles

All nine classes are grouped into three specific combat types, offensive, defensive, and support but all can be played outside their assigned role depending on the player's choice of strategy.

Offensive

Offensive classes (Scout, Soldier, and Pyro) are the main attack force of the team. Whether it's assaulting Control Points or grabbing the Intelligence, these classes focus on mobility. Scouts have the ability to capture points twice as fast as any other class and can get there with their top-tier speed and double jumps. Soldiers pack a punch with their devastating Rocket Launchers, and can attack from unexpected directions by rocket jumping. Pyros can wreak fiery havoc in enemy ranks with a well-timed ambush or extinguish their own burning friends, and offer the highest speed/health ratio of all classes (barring buffs or nonstandard equipment).

Defensive

Defensive classes (Demoman, Heavy, and Engineer) serve to inhibit enemy access and to hold enemies back from vital points on the map. Overall, the defensive group has the most firepower of all the groups. Demomen can safeguard areas with stickybombs that they can detonate when enemies come by. Heavies are great for mowing down incoming troops and pushing back forces. Heavies can also keep enemies in an area while whittling their health for teammates to finish off. Engineers can build Sentry Guns for effective area defense, as well as build Teleporters and Dispensers for logistical support of the team.

Support

Support classes (Medic, Sniper, and Spy) cannot hold the fight on their own, but their specialized abilities can tip the balance in their team's favor. They offer the offensive and defensive classes an extra edge in battle and can help turn the tide of the game. Whether crippling the enemy advance from behind or keeping teammates healed, the support classes are always handy to have around. Medics offer a mobile means of healing for teammates, capable of overhealing them to 150% of their maximum health, and can provide a range of buffs such as invincibility, 100% critical hit rate, 300% healing rate as well as immunity to movement impairing effects, or 75% resistance to bullets, explosions, or fire. Snipers can eliminate key targets from a distance and use Jarate to extinguish teammates on fire and increase the damage dealt to the enemy. Spies can infiltrate enemy lines undetected, disable and deconstruct buildings, and assassinate critical menaces.

Random

The Random role randomly selects one of the nine classes for you; it can be used when you're not sure who to play, and it's a great way to get familiar with the characters.

Subclass

Subclass is a term used to describe a set of a weapons a class has that drastically changes the way a class is played. There is currently only one subclass, the Demoknight. Not to be confused with playstyle, a term used to describe a loadout that benefits from playing in a certain way but keeps the core mechanics of a class (such as Trolldier or Gunslinger Engineer).

Health points

Class health points comparison

A Medic with the Medi Gun, Kritzkrieg, or Vaccinator may overheal a teammate to 150% of their normal health maximum. The Quick-Fix can overheal up to only 125% of a teammate's health, but can still maintain fully overhealed health created by the Medi Gun, Vaccinator, or Kritzkrieg. If hurt, a player can refill their health through a number of ways.

Speed

Escape Plan speed values vs. health

Speed is measured in-game using the command cl_showpos 1, measuring in velocity units (v.) The standard movement speed is 100% (that of the Engineer, Pyro, and Sniper). Note that forward speed is obtained by pressing the forward, left, or right keys, the backward speed is obtained by pressing the backward key, while crouching speed is found by pressing the crouch button. Backward speed is generally calculated by 90% of the class's forward speed, while crouching is at 33%. Forward and backward speeds are the same when crouching or charging/zooming as a Sniper. During humiliation, all classes on the winning team will move 10% faster and all on the losing team will move 10% slower.

All normal forward speeds are capped at 520v or 173%; backwards-capped at 468v or 156%; crouched at 173.33v, or 58%; swimming at 416v, or 139%.

For Spies, disguising as a slower class (Soldier, Pyro, Engineer, Sniper, Demoman, or Heavy) will accurately reduce the Spy's speed to the appropriate speed of the class he is disguised as, e.g. the Spy disguised as the Heavy will move to the speed of Heavy, and remain at that speed unless he breaks disguise or cloaks. Disguising as a faster class (Scout), however, will not make the Spy move faster and he will continue to move at 107% speed (Spy`s default speed). Disguising as a player wielding a weapon that increases move speed (eg Powerjack or Overdose) will show the disguised Spy as carrying the weapon, but will not actually increase speed.

A Demoman wielding the Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker, or Nessie's Nine Iron will gain approximately 7% of his base speed with every kill or "head" taken with it. While charging with the Chargin' Targe, Splendid Screen, or Tide Turner equipped, he moves at 250% of the standard movement speed. The Soldier's speed while wielding the Escape Plan increases by 10% with every loss of 40 health below 200.

A Soldier who has activated the effects of the Concheror nearby their teammate, or has hit a teammate within the last 4 seconds with the Disciplinary Action, will allow the teammate and the Soldier himself to move up to 140% of the speed they normally would.

A Medic who has any secondary weapon equipped will be able to match the speed of any faster-moving teammate while they are connected by the healing beam.

Class speed comparison

Size

A height chart for all the classes.

All classes have varying height, with the Engineer being the shortest and the Heavy being the tallest of the classes for the purposes of tracing Hitscan weapons. Classes also have various builds and general body sizes; each class has their own individual set of shaped hitboxes used for bullet-based attacks.

However, for the purposes of collisions with objects, players, melee attacks, and projectiles, all classes are considered to be the same width and height. This also means that no class has an advantage or disadvantage when it comes to navigating corners or tight spaces.

In 2017, Drew Wolf, a former Valve design artist, updated his personal website and uploaded some concept art of the female version of the classes created by him.^[1] According to the note made by Drew Wolf, there used to be "an internal pitch project" made by Valve "to bring female characters to the cast of Team Fortress 2", and "the goal of the project was to dive deep into possibilities and facilitate creative discussion". However, Drew's artwork does not include the Pyro class, as their gender is still unknown.

A console variable named tf_player_use_female_models was found in the game's source code that is related to the female classes. The console variable would haved modified the loading of player models to append _female to end of the player model filename, for example scout_female. mdl.^[2] This is supported by the console variable's description; "For testing. Appends '_female' to the model filename loaded"^[3] The only known existing official model of any female class is that of the Soldier. The model was created in 2009 and nothing else came of it. There was also planned to be a civilian class in the game, however it was cut.

Team Fortress 2 Team Fortress Games KazTSky Kick Dances YouTube 9000 years ago, Team Fortress 2 added such a winrar thing as Kazotsky Kick - a taunt that allows characters to squat to a peppy pseudo-Slavic melody. Of course, the Internet immediately responded with this video, where real Soviet soldiers were already dancing to the music from the game.

The video attracted the attention of over 9000 TF2 fans, and it resulted in a bunch of epic comments. Beware of stereotypes.

Team Fortress 2 is now dancing instead of shooting.

Everything to defeat the bots - Pogorsky's Notes - Blogs

Pogorsky's Notes

Blog

Works surprisingly efficiently.

Valve seems to have long forgotten about their team shooter Team Fortress 2. The once extremely popular game stopped receiving updates with new content, and the servers were flooded with bots: now it is almost impossible to find a match exclusively with live players.

On June 22, 2021, the developers, to the surprise of the community, nevertheless released a patch specifically to fix the bot problem. He helped noticeably, but a day later the bots returned and continued to spoil the games for everyone.

Fans of TF 2, however, do not give up and are looking for new ways to suppress the rebellion of the machines on their own. On July 1, Reddit user 2Noel revealed a new and unexpected strategy: with his comrades , he defeated a full team of bots with the Kong dance emote. The players simply took over all the points on the map without any resistance while the puzzled bots ran around aimlessly .

Others soon took up the idea.

The explanation of the phenomenon turned out to be extremely simple: the bot program used by cheaters does not attack friendly players in principle. That is, if bots see that someone is just spamming emotions (a common occurrence in the game), they ignore them, giving priority to more dangerous players. Accordingly, if the bot cannot find a real target, its logic breaks down.

Given that the strategy invented by 2Noel has gone viral, the creators of the bots will probably fix the algorithms soon, and the dances will lose their unexpected effect. Then players will have to find a new way to enjoy Team Fortress 2.
