Instead of having 4 rockets loaded like most others, it starts with zero loaded, and the player is required to hold down their Primary Attack button to load the rockets. Only 3 rockets can be held at one time, and loading additional rockets will cause the launcher to overload, damaging the Soldier and any players in the immediate area. However, the Soldier can intentionally overload, and use the damage to jump across large areas, similar to a rocket jump, albeit much more powerful. A bomb from a soldier holding the Bazooka is nearly unstoppable. The explosion from overloading the chamber can be used to rocket jump with the full three rockets in the clip, and when a glitch was found to allow holding all three rockets indefinitely, the weapon was quickly banned in all leagues.

Maybe add a table to the home page with the current champions for every league would be good for newcomers to see who to look up to? Tell me what you think.

This site could use some. I don't know enough 'wiki' to not stuff this up, does anyone know wiki-fu?
An About template (disambiguation hatnote), intext citation which point to footnotes, stub articles, ??? . I created [[Template:Hatnote]] already.

[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 19:17, 1 July 2013 (WEST)

Will look into that tomorrow

--[[User:Kaneco|Kaneco]] ([[User talk:Kaneco|talk]]) 01:40, 3 July 2013 (WEST)

Well what I discovered is that most templates used on other wikis have no extension dependencies, but they have a lot of other templates dependencies, so for example importing a player infobox template from liquipedia would need not only to import that template but 10-15 other templates used in it, which is not feasible. So the best solution is to create them ourselves, you can look up here how to do it [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template here]

--[[User:Kaneco|Kaneco]] ([[User talk:Kaneco|talk]]) 23:40, 3 July 2013 (WEST)

Sure, take it case by case though. Some of those dependencies might be necessary to port anyway. -[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 05:33, 4 July 2013 (WEST)

== Maps ==
The problem is, this convention looks really ugly when in the title of the page (see:[[Cp_granary]])
The first letter is forced to be capitalised (no good), and you can't see the underscore as it's covered by the line break. A layout change needs to happen should this one be implemented. -[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 06:13, 2 July 2013 (WEST)

Map pages should be named in full with no version numbers (ex: koth_viaduct_pro not koth_viaduct_pro_v5, cp_process not cp_process_b3) , and map images as well, with the exact same name, at least for thumbnail purposes to be easier to use in templates, if anyone has time please start renaming map images to the proper name without version (I mean do this only for the main thumbnail of the map (ex: cp_granary.png) for specific images of version or other areas of the map let it be).
If maps have different versions these should be talked about inside the map page not in the title
Also, I transformed the mainpage table with this week maps into a template, but we need to rename the map pages and map images first before using it so it works well

== Class Headings (Offense, Defense, Support) ==

They are misleading and of little relevance to the competitive formats played. Would like to remove that heading as per Koobadoobs -- http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/9921-comp-tf-a-competitive-tf2-wiki/3#post-147997

Now it's been changed to Generalists vs Specialists... which is really just the 6s mentality and doesn't fit in with how HL plays out... should we just leave it? I'm beginning to think just leaving them without headings is the best way to go--[[User:Koobadoobs|Koobadoobs]] ([[User talk:Koobadoobs|talk]]) 19:32, 2 July 2013 (WEST)

Maybe no headings at all would be the best way yes, this way we are not "favoring" any gamemode over the other. If there's an heading it should be much more specific, like Pick class for spy and sniper, Damage Dealer for Demo, etc... But even then it wouldn't apply to both gamemodes.

[[User:Shadowtroop|Shadowtroop]] ([[User talk:Shadowtroop|talk]]) 12:46, 3 July 2013 (WEST)

Exactly, although I think that diagram would be very useful for an article of its own talking about class mechanics and the general metagame

--[[User:Kaneco|Kaneco]] ([[User talk:Kaneco|talk]]) 23:40, 3 July 2013 (WEST)

I've made a change to the class layout (Core: Solly, Demo, Heavy, Med | Support: Pyro, Engi | Picks: Scout, Sniper, Spy)

[[User:Shadowtroop|Shadowtroop]] ([[User talk:Shadowtroop|talk]]) 02:27, 4 July 2013 (WEST)

+1 to no headings. Scouts are themselves generalists rather than specialists,i.e. not simply a pick class. Having these kinds of headings stir up more debate than they settle. -[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] ([[User talk:Maxim|talk]]) 09:21, 4 July 2013 (WEST)

Currently every weapon only has four optional bans

When there should be UGC 6s and even CEVO bans added.
[[User:Peakay|Peakay]] ([[User talk:Peakay|talk]]) 18:39, 3 July 2013 (WEST)

Weapon templates should definitely be improved and we should stick with one final format for now.

I rushed to it and created tables for soldier and medic. Is this the template we'll use, just add some more leagues?

Medic

2013-07-04T04:26:17Z

Kawaii: Added note

The Medic is a maniacal German scientist who is capable of healing his teammates and making them invulnerable for short periods of time. In [[6v6]], the Medic makes up a key component of the combo, along with the pocket [[Soldier]]. In [[Highlander]], the combo usually consists of a Medic, [[Heavy]], and [[Demoman]]. As the Medic does not need to focus on aim, Medics generally act as [[callers]] for their teams. Medic duties generally include keeping the team fully buffed, timing and leading pushes, and tracking enemy Übers.

==6v6==
''Main Article: [[Medic (6v6)]]''

The Medic is the key target in 6v6 due to his ability to heal and ÜberCharge his teammates, which will often times turn the tide of battle.

In 6v6, there is a restriction of 1 Medic per team.

==Highlander==
''Main Article: [[Medic (Highlander)]]''

The Medic has the same role as he does in 6v6; healing his teammates and using his ÜberCharges to turn the tide of a match.

==Allowed Weapons==

Soldier

2013-07-04T00:26:41Z

Kawaii: /* Allowed Weapons */

The Soldier is a class played in both 6v6 and Highlander. It is the most basic of the classes, and is a good all-around fighter. The Soldier's weapon of choice is the Rocket Launcher, a projectile weapon with good damage spread and range. The Soldier can adapt to many different situations and is a crucial class to have.

==6v6==
''Main Article: [[Soldier (6v6)]]''

In 6v6, the Soldier will usually fulfil two main roles: "Pocket" Soldier and "Roaming" Soldier. The Pocket Soldier focuses on keeping his medic alive and using heals to deal damage, take positioning on his enemies, and lead his team. The Roaming Soldier plays a fundamental role in initiating battles for his team by creating distractions and advantages, and supporting his team by controlling the flank, and in turn, the universe.

The most basic role of the Pocket Soldier is keeping the medic alive and using his abundant heals to deal damage, get kills and lead the team. The Pocket along with the Medic and Demoman form the core "combo" of any 6v6 team. He will usually be the target of an übercharge, if not the Demoman. The Pocket is usually the third biggest pick behind the Medic and Demoman, however since he is usually at a fearsome three hundred health, it is not easy to frag him. The standard or "meta" loadout for the Pocket soldier is the Rocket Launcher/Original, the Shotgun and the Escape Plan.

The Roaming Soldier's main job is to help one of his Scouts on the flank, and create openings in the other team so that his team can push. The Roamer is most often the player that will suicide into the other team in hopes of getting a Medic pick or to force the Medic to übercharge. The Roamer also wants to know the ins and outs of a map so that he knows all of its hiding spots and flanks. He wants to hide so that he can easily get a jump on the enemy team and hopefully get a pick or two. Hiding also provides the advantage of knowing exactly what the enemy team is doing, allowing the roamer to relay tons of information back to his team and gaining an advantage over the opposition. He is basically the most "disposable" unit of the team. The standard loadout for a Roaming soldier is the Rocket Launcher/Original, the Gunboats and the Escape Plan.

==Highlander==
''Main Article: [[Soldier (Highlander)]]''

In Highlander, there is only one Soldier on each team. This Soldier often functions like a Roaming Soldier would in 6v6. As such, many 6v6 Roamer strategies can be applied to Highlander as well. Often used as a roaming pick class, the soldier is mostly run with gunboats and the stock launcher, or the black box. A well coordinated team can organize pick classes to work together for a common goal, like forcing a medic or taking out a engineer nest. In most maps, the soldier is used to control the flank. He is used to defend the flank of his own team and in turn harass his opponents.

| description = The shotgun is the go-to secondary for pocket soldiers in the 6v6 game style. The Shotgun is useful in a variety in situations. For instance, the Shotgun provides you with extra firepower should you have no rockets loaded or if you're out of ammo. This extra damage can help protect your medic should he be harassed while you're out of rockets.

| description = The Gunboats give you a 60% reduction in damage taken from rocket jumps, at the cost of an effectively empty secondary slot. This is a common choice for both the roaming soldier role in 6v6, and for soldiers in Highlander. The reduced rocket jump damage further allows soldier's to perform what is called a '''bomb'''.

The Reserve Shooter has 3 shots in it's clip, and also increases weapon switch speed by 15%. The Shotgun is generally considered superior to the Reserve Shooter, as it has a full 6 clip and can deal a great amount of damage on it's own.

| description = The Righteous Bison functions as an alternative to the shotgun that excels as midrange spam. This role is fulfilled by three attributes of the weapon: decreased ramp up (resembling the rocket launcher or sticky launcher's damage curve), projectiles penetrate targets, and infinite ammo. The Righteous Bison does not see a lot of use in competitive play because the Soldier's rocket launcher is arguably better at spam than the Bison, and giving up the gunboats or shotgun is too much to ask for most Soldiers.

| description = Once this weapon is equipped, it has the unique ability to increase the movement speed of the player as their health is diminished. Consequently, the weapon blocks healing from all Medic weapons while active. This weapon is especially useful to flee from fights. The Escape Plan is a common weapon used by 6v6 soldiers. The increased movement speed paired with the soldier's ability to damage itself allows the Escape Plan to be used as a tool for rolling out. Pocket soldiers in 6v6 will generally use this "Escape Plan rollout".

The downside is -25% damage, however it is rare to see melees used to deal damage in competitive play, so the Disciplinary Action is regarded as an upgrade.

The Righteous Bison does not see a lot of use in competitive play because the Soldier's rocket launcher is arguably better at spam than the Bison, and giving up the gunboats or shotgun is too much to ask for most Soldiers.

| description = Once this weapon is equipped, it has the unique ability to increase the movement speed of the player as their health is diminished. Consequently, the weapon blocks healing from all Medic weapons while active. This weapon is especially useful to flee from fights. The Escape Plan is a common weapon used by 6v6 soldiers. The increased movement speed paired with the soldier's ability to damage itself allows the Escape Plan to be used as a tool for rolling out. Pocket soldiers in 6v6 will generally use this "Escape Plan rollout".

| description = The Disciplinary Action is a melee weapon used as a rollout tool for Highlander play. When an ally is hit with this weapon, both the soldier with the item equipped and the ally hit receive a static speed boost (meaning a Heavy will have the same net speed increase as a Scout). The downside is -25% damage, however it is rare to see melees used to deal damage in competitive play, so the Disciplinary Action is regarded as an upgrade.

Heavy

2013-07-03T23:44:53Z

Kawaii: /* 6v6 */

[[Image:250px-Heavy.png|thumb]]

A portly Russian bear, the '''Heavy''' has the most health in the game, with a total of 300. Not only that, but his primary weapon, the Minigun, does potentially the most damage per second in the game. These come with the downside of having by far the lowest base movement speed in the game, 77% of the standard movement speed, which becomes 37% when his Minigun is deployed; this leaves the Heavy unable to chase down damaged enemies to finish off the kill, and makes it very difficult to dodge high-damage hits such as the [[Demoman|Demoman's]] grenades and stickybombs, the [[Soldier|Soldier's]] rockets, and headshots from the [[Sniper]]. A Heavy will most often be found near a Medic, as the extra 150 health buff helps the Heavy soak up more damage for his teammates, while simultaneously protecting the Medic from any [[Spy|Spies]] or jumping Soldiers that threaten him.

==6v6==
''Main Article: [[Heavy (6v6)]]''

In 6v6, the Heavy is considered an [[offclass]], used primarily holding last points in 5cp. Heavy will take the pocket's role when in play, allowing the pocket to play more of a roamer position, as he is capable of defending his Medic much better with his high health and damage. Heavy is capable of shutting down bombing Soldiers and Demoman with his Minigun, keeping them high off the ground and unable to escape the hail of bullets. Alongside with these roles, Heavy also serves a purpose in tanking damage.

==Highlander==
''Main Article: [[Heavy (Highlander)]]''

In Highlander, the Heavy is the backbone force of pushing or defending objectives, outputting great DPS while being able to tank incoming spam thanks to his 450 health margin when buffed. Heavies are usually pocketed by the medic, and a heavy medic pair is called the combo. All players on the team should work around the combo, helping them secure victory.
