Configs refer to the configuration files which are used by the game to quickly change game parameters, such as graphics options. Many configs are designed to improve game performance through lowering graphics settings, as well as providing extra functionality through use of client commands, such as viewmodel_fov and interp settings.

== FPS Configs ==

FPS configs strive to lower game graphics as much as possible in order to increase the framerate (FPS) of the game. Popular graphics configs include Chris's Highframes, Maxframes, and Dx9frames, while configs such as m0reframes have been used in the past.

Slim Shady: Boldened term

[[File:ScoutIcon_small.png|thumb]]

A smack-talking Bostonian brat, the '''Scout''' boasts the greatest mobility of all the TF2 classes; two jumps and an impressive 133% movement speed make him extremely difficult to track down, and even to kill once he's found. The Scout also carries a Scattergun, which does tremendous damage when very close to an opponent. With such a high move speed, it isn't difficult to get close to people; the only trick is staying alive once at a close range. The Scout has only 125 base health, tied for the least out of all the classes. Becoming a skillful Scout is about learning how to use that measly 125 to its fullest extent: dodging, surfing, and meatshotting away while foes miss by shooting at the air around the scout.
==6v6==
''Main Article: [[Scout (6v6)]]''

The Scout is a highly mobile "clean up" class, used to capture points and move in and out of fights to deal and avoid as much damage as possible. In standard 6v6 play, a team will have 2 Scouts. When playing this class, one will be expected to successfully capture points, control the flank, and be able to clean up the damage put out by heavy classes (Soldier and Demoman). Generally speaking, a Scout will have a high number of kills and a moderate amount of damage - diving in to kill already damaged players is the primary cause of this. Scouts are also often the best candidates for off-classing, depending on the situation. The secret to the Scout class is going into a fight and catching enemies unaware. The Scout is usually more expendable than the other classes, excluding the roaming soldier.

Some teams like to assign roles to their scouts to keep everyone coordinated. Having a "passive" scout and an "aggressive" scout on the team keeps inexperienced players from getting out of position (either resulting in death from aggression or missed opportunities from passiveness). The "passive" scout's job is roughly to protect the demo and help the medic build uber when an opportunity arises. While he still wants to help out his fellow scout on the flank and clean up damage, protecting the demo is his main objective. When there are stalemate situations in a match, the passive scout is the one that will build the Medic's Übercharge using his Boston Basher. The aggressive scout usually goes for kills and high damage on the flank. If a player is weak he will chase that player down and kill him. The problem with this role-oriented approach is that when a scout is smart enough to know when to be passive and when to be aggressive, it would be more efficient for him to switch roles when it makes sense to switch roles, rather than getting stuck in a mindset that can be very detrimental to his team. Most high-level teams avoid this passive vs aggressive assignment system, but it can help teams that lack the coordination and gamesense.

Soldier

2013-07-02T04:37:02Z

Slim Shady: typos fixed

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 Beggar's Bazooka is perhaps the most unique rocket launcher out of the 7 choices. 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.

Medic

2013-07-02T04:10:49Z

Slim Shady: Added descriptions for all of the Primary weapons.

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 ubers.

==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 Ubercharges to turn the tide of a match.

| description = The '''Syringe Gun''' is the Medic's default primary, shooting syringes, or "needles" at it's target. The syringes fired are projectiles, which means that the player will have to lead their target in order to hit them consistently. The Syringe Gun is a mediocre self-defense weapon, with each syringe doing 5-12 damage, and should only be used when absolutely necessary.

| etf2l_6s_legal = Yes

| description = The '''Overdose''' is an alternate primary for the Medic, and functions similarly to the default Syringe Gun. The Overdose's needles do 10% less damage compared to that of the default and likewise, should only be used in very extreme situations. The upside to the Overdose is that it grants an active (the player needs to have the Overdose out) movement speed bonus based on how much übercharge the Medic has. For every 10% of charge that the Medic has, the Overdose will grant a 1% movement bonus. At full übercharge, the medic moves at 117% movement speed, which is second only to the Scout.

| description = The '''Crusader's Crossbow''' is an alternate primary weapon for the Medic, and functions completely different from any of the other primaries. Instead of shooting syringes, it shoots bolts, and only 1 at a time. It is the worst option for self-defense and as such should almost never be used in life or death situations, and the Medic should instead resort to his melee. The bolts that the crossbow fires, however, are very unique and can allow for very clutch moments if the Medic knows how to aim properly. The bolts do damage based on distance traveled, up to 75 damage at maximum range. However, if the Medic hits a teammate, the damage that would have been dealt will turn into health. The health scale is much larger however, with the minimum health able to be received is 75, and the maximum 150. The healing mechanic can provide teammates with instant healing, and often times can save a teammates life. However, please note that the healing mechanic does NOT build übercharge.

However, whenever a player is hit with a Blutsauger needle, the Medic will get 3 additional health. The drawback is that the Medic's passive regen is decreased by 2 HP/second. This means that, instead of regenerating 3 health after being damaged, the Medic will only be given 1 health back, up to a maximum of 4 HP/second, instead of the default maximum of 6 HP/second.

Soldier

2013-07-02T03:32:18Z

Slim Shady: Updated the Beggar's Bazooka description.

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 Roaming Soldier's main job is to help 1 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. Hiding is another one of the Roamer's jobs. 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.

==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. As soldier; in most maps you are also the flank controller. You defend the flanks, and in turn, kill anything there. Say you are on the flank, you find people there and kill them, you aren't LOOKING for them, you're just defending the flank

| description = The Beggar's Bazooka is perhaps the most unique rocket launcher out of the 7 choices. 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.

Slim Shady: Added bold font

==Calling==
'''Calling''' in TF2 is communicating with your team to relay information so that everyone knows what's going on. Most teams have multiple callers, but the Medic is usually the main caller. The Medic doesn't have to focus on fighting or [[peeking]], so they can use that extra energy to call out enemy positions and Über advantages or disadvantages. Calling is arguably the most important skill that a team can have, next to fighting skill and positioning.

2013-07-02T00:11:56Z

Slim Shady: Added brief desc. for map.

CP_Granary is a 5-Control Point Map created by Valve, and is one of the 6 original TF2 maps. It is a staple in the competitive 6v6 leagues and is notorious for being extremely prone to stalemates.

6v6

2013-07-02T00:09:19Z

Slim Shady: Added desc. for TF2Lobby

'''''The contents of [[Standard 6v6]] should be merged with the information here.'''''

== 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]] (do note, the Engineer has a limit of two in [[ETF2L]]), and [[Heavy]], which are all limited to a maximum of one. The standard line-up for 6v6 teams (referred to as cookie-cutter) 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 leagues are ESEA and ETF2L. ESEA is a paid league and features three separate divisions of play.

[[Open]]

[[Intermediate]]

[[Invite]]

ETF2L is free and has seven: Divisions 6-1 and the Premiership Division.

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. ETF2L's Premiership Division is considered the highest level of European 6v6 gameplay and has an online playoff event at the end of each season which four teams take part in, it does not have an official LAN event. Videos of past championships and playoffs 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.

Demoman

2013-07-02T00:04:41Z

Slim Shady: Changed heading to Highlander. All headings should be consistent for all 9 classes now

The Demoman's role in competitive TF2 is area denial, choke spamming, and crowd control. He is also expected to take down sentry nests. With the Stickybomb Launcher, the Demoman can do the most damage in the game, and with multiple people in a small space, he is able to do large amounts of damage. A good demoman can hold off an entire team with well-timed spam. He is the first to the midfight because of the high damage he can do and is also the class used for most often for a kritzkrieg push because of the charge ability of the stickybomb launcher, the amount of damage he can deal without having to reload and because it does the most damage with a critical hit.

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

In 6's, Demoman holds the primary role of dealing initial damage and crowd control. He makes sure the enemy never pushes into his team without taking damage and uses his [http://comp.tf/wiki/Spamming spamming] abilities to funnel the enemy team so they can be cleaned up by his teammates. He is also essential for defending as his sticky traps can get him easy kills and force the enemy to retreat, and his pill spam can easy chunk the enemy teams health if they are careless with their positioning. Demo is considered one of the harder roles in 6's due to his lack of mobility, causing him to have to consider his positioning carefully if he wishes to both not die quickly in a fight and still do substantial damage to the enemy.

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

In Highlander, the Demoman's main job is area denial. His weapons are great at dishing out high damage to numerous players at once but fall short when it comes to accuracy. He serves a similar role to his 6's counterpart of damage dealing and crowd control, but he is also expected to deal with sentry nests.

By holding down the left click button, you can charge a sticky in order to fire it farther for each second you charge. Many use this for area denial by spamming long-range stickies through a choke point that is too long for pills to reach. It is also used to plant a "stickytrap", a small, packed together group of stickies on a wall outside of a choke point that is detonated when a team pushes through, dealing high amounts of damage. Some well-placed stickytraps can often go unseen and may even kill multiple enemy teammates. It is also used for sticky-jumps, where the player places a sticky under their feet and detonates it to propel them in a certain direction at high-speeds. The minimum damage from a successful stickyjump a player can take is 40, and can do around 100 damage max (often resulting in a failed stickyjump.)

Demoman

2013-07-02T00:04:12Z

Slim Shady: Changed hEading to 6v6

The Demoman's role in competitive TF2 is area denial, choke spamming, and crowd control. He is also expected to take down sentry nests. With the Stickybomb Launcher, the Demoman can do the most damage in the game, and with multiple people in a small space, he is able to do large amounts of damage. A good demoman can hold off an entire team with well-timed spam. He is the first to the midfight because of the high damage he can do and is also the class used for most often for a kritzkrieg push because of the charge ability of the stickybomb launcher, the amount of damage he can deal without having to reload and because it does the most damage with a critical hit.

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

In 6's, Demoman holds the primary role of dealing initial damage and crowd control. He makes sure the enemy never pushes into his team without taking damage and uses his [http://comp.tf/wiki/Spamming spamming] abilities to funnel the enemy team so they can be cleaned up by his teammates. He is also essential for defending as his sticky traps can get him easy kills and force the enemy to retreat, and his pill spam can easy chunk the enemy teams health if they are careless with their positioning. Demo is considered one of the harder roles in 6's due to his lack of mobility, causing him to have to consider his positioning carefully if he wishes to both not die quickly in a fight and still do substantial damage to the enemy.

==In Highlander==
''Main Article: [[Demoman (Highlander)]]''

In Highlander, the Demoman's main job is area denial. His weapons are great at dishing out high damage to numerous players at once but fall short when it comes to accuracy. He serves a similar role to his 6's counterpart of damage dealing and crowd control, but he is also expected to deal with sentry nests.

It can vary between 102 and 99 depending on how close of a direct hit the pill is. It is often used to spam chokes when the demo already has a sticky trap set up, and because pills are tangible they can roll across the ground if they have not hit someone directly before touching the wall or floor or ceiling (these are often called rollers). Rollers can do 35 to 70 damage depending on the distance from the person they are near.

Scout

Slim Shady: Changed heading to Highlander

[[File:ScoutIcon_small.png|thumb]]

A smack-talking Bostonian brat, the '''Scout''' boasts the greatest mobility of all the TF2 classes; two jumps and an impressive 133% movement speed make him extremely difficult to track down, and even to kill once he's found. The Scout also carries a Scattergun, which does tremendous damage when very close to an opponent. With such a high move speed, it isn't difficult to get close to people; the only trick is staying alive once at a close range. The Scout has only 125 base health, tied for the least out of all the classes. Becoming a skillful Scout is about learning how to use that measly 125 to its fullest extent: dodging, surfing, and meatshotting away while foes miss by shooting at the air around the scout.
==6v6==
''Main Article: [[Scout (6v6)]]''

The Scout is a highly mobile "clean up" class, used to capture points and move in and out of fights to deal and avoid as much damage as possible. In standard 6v6 play, a team will have 2 Scouts. When playing this class, one will be expected to successfully capture points, control the flank, and be able to clean up the damage put out by heavy classes (Soldier and Demoman). Generally speaking, a Scout will have a high number of kills and a moderate amount of damage - diving in to kill already damaged players is the primary cause of this. Scouts are also often the best candidates for off-classing, depending on the situation. The secret to the Scout class is going into a fight and catching enemies unaware. The Scout is usually more expendable than the other classes, excluding the roaming soldier.

There is generally a "passive" scout and an "aggressive" scout on each team.

The passive scout's job is to protect the demo and help the medic build when an opportunity arises. While he still wants to help out his scout on the flank and clean up damage, protecting the demo is his main objective. When there are stalemate situations in a match, the passive scout is the one that will build the Medic's Übercharge using his Boston Basher.

Slim Shady: typos

The Pyro is a class who wields a Flamethrower as its main weapon. Along with the ability to inflict burn damage and a relatively high damage output, the Pyro also has the [[airblast]] mechanic, which can neutralize an enemy's uber with ease, reflect projectiles like rockets and arrows, and extinguish burning team mates.

==In Sixes==

Scout

Slim Shady: fixed typos

[[File:ScoutIcon_small.png|thumb]]

A smack-talking Bostonian brat, the '''Scout''' boasts the greatest mobility of all the TF2 classes; two jumps and an impressive 133% movement speed make him extremely difficult to track down, and even to kill once he's found. The Scout also carries a Scattergun, which does tremendous damage when very close to an opponent. With such a high move speed, it isn't difficult to get close to people; the only trick is staying alive once at a close range. The Scout has only 125 base health, tied for the least out of all the classes. Becoming a skillful Scout is about learning how to use that measly 125 to its fullest extent: dodging, surfing, and meatshotting away while foes miss by shooting at the air around the scout.
==In 6's==
''Main Article: [[Scout (6v6)]]''

The Scout is a highly mobile "clean up" class, used to capture points and move in and out of fights to deal and avoid as much damage as possible. In standard 6v6 play, a team will have 2 Scouts. When playing this class, one will be expected to successfully capture points, control the flank, and be able to clean up the damage put out by heavy classes (Soldier and Demoman). Generally speaking, a Scout will have a high number of kills and a moderate amount of damage - diving in to kill already damaged players is the primary cause of this. Scouts are also often the best candidates for off-classing, depending on the situation. The secret to the Scout class is going into a fight and catching enemies unaware. The Scout is usually more expendable than the other classes, excluding the roaming soldier.

There is generally a "passive" scout and an "aggressive" scout on each team.

The passive scout's job is to protect the demo and help the medic build when an opportunity arises. While he still wants to help out his scout on the flank and clean up damage, protecting the demo is his main objective. When there are stalemate situations in a match, the passive scout is the one that will build the Medic's Übercharge using his Boston Basher.
