6v6

2013-07-01T00:06:45Z

Lansky: /* Game Modes */

See [[Standard 6v6]]

== 6v6 Competitive Format ==
6v6 is a competitive format commonly called '6s' by the community.

In 6v6, the classes are limited in order to create a balanced game environment and to promote exciting gameplay by reducing stalemates. Each class is limited to a maximum of two, except the [[Demoman]], [[Medic]], [[Engineer]], and [[Heavy]], which are all limited to a maximum of one. The standard line-up for 6v6 teams is:

- 2x [[Soldier]] (Pocket Soldier, Roaming Soldier)

- 2x [[Scout]]

- 1x [[Demoman]]

- 1x [[Medic]]

In some cases, a utility class is needed in order to create an advantage for your team or help defend a control point. A scout or roaming soldier generally switches, which allows classes such as [[Sniper]], [[Spy]], [[Engineer]], [[Heavy]], or [[Pyro]] to be utilized.

The most competitive 6v6 league is ESEA, which features three seperate divisions of play.

[[Open]]

[[Intermediate]]

[[Invite]]

The Invite division is considered the highest level of North American 6v6 gameplay and features a championship event at the end of every season, called the ESEA LAN Finals. The top four teams in Invite fly out to Dallas, TX to compete every season. Videos of past championships can be found at the ''TeamfortressTV youtube channel''. [http://youtube.com/teamfortresstv]

== Game Modes ==
In 6v6, there are three different map types currently being played.

The most common is [[5cp]], or "5 Control Point", which requires a team to control all five control points in a map in order to win the round.

[[koth]], or "King of the Hill", is a game mode where teams fight for control of one central control point in a race against the clock.

[[ad]], or "Attack/Defense", uses a stopwatch to time the attacking team in trying to capture all of the defending team's control points. The defending team then switches to the attacking team and tries to beat the opposing team's time.

== Places to play 6v6 ==
There are different places where you can play the 6v6 format, all adapted to different skill level.

- TF2 Lobby [http://www.tf2lobby.com]

- ATF2.ORG [http://atf2.org] - A way to access to different IRC channels, like #tf2mix (for beginners), and #tf2.pug.na (for higher level players)

- ESEA Open Pugs (reserved to people that are in the ESEA-Open league)

- Power Pugs (an invite-only in-house pug group)

- ESEA Invite Pugs (reserved to people that are in the ESEA-Invite league)

Soldier

2013-06-30T23:53:28Z

Lansky:

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

In 6v6, there are two main "types" of Soldiers: the Pocket and the 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, creating distractions and advantages, and supporting his team by controlling the flank.

==Pocket Soldier==

==Roaming Soldier==

==In 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.

== '''Maps''' ==
There are several maps played in both forms of competitive TF2 (highlander and sixes). Game modes like Control Point, King of the Hill, and Payload are the most prevalent, as they are seen as the most "fair" and "balanced" game mode. In addition to official maps put out by valve, there are several custom maps that are considered "competitive" maps.
