5CP

2013-07-02T06:44:56Z

WhiteMagicalHat:

5CP (5 Control Points) is the most commonly played gamemode in competitive Team Fortress 2. It consist of 5 Control Points on a symmetrical map. Teams begin with locked control of their closest two points, and the midfight decides who gets control of the middle point first. The second point of the loser of the midfight is unlocked, and play continues linearly, unlocking each next point as the previous one is captured until one team controls all five.

Soldier

2013-07-02T06:40:31Z

WhiteMagicalHat: Added desc. for rocket jumper

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.

Please organize terms by category, and alphabetize within categories.

--[[User:Waldo|Waldo]] ([[User talk:Waldo|talk]]) 11:30, 1 July 2013 (WEST)

== Combat terms ==

; Airburst/Airdet : When a [[Demoman]] detonates his stickies while they are in mid-flight.

; Airpipe : When a [[Demoman]] hits someone on the enemy team in midair with one of his grenades.

; Airshot : When a player hits someone on the enemy team in midair with a projectile. Usually used to refer to a [[Soldier]] hitting someone in midair with one of his rocket. Also known as a middie.

; Buff : The excess health granted (up to 150% base hp) by any of the [[Medic]]'s Mediguns when he continues to heal a player after they already have full health.

; Clutch : Adjective used to describe plays that went well, but could have easily gone wrong. "Wow, that was such a clutch Medic pick!"

; Crit Heals: Term used to describe the [[Medic#Secondary|Medigun]]'s mechanic of healing faster based on how long it has been since a player has taken damage.

; Focusing : As a combat class, focusing means intentionally targeting a single player to prioritize kills on the most important players. Usually, multiple players focus targets together to kill them faster.

; Hardscope: When a [[Sniper]] stays scoped for enough time to fully charge his shot.

; Hurt, Lit, Destroyed, etc. : Used to describe players who have taken varying amounts of damage.

; Juke : A dodge

; Kritz : An abbreviation for the [[Medic]]'s [[KritzKrieg]]'s ability.

; Meatshot : A close range shot with a Shotgun or Scattergun where all pellets hit the target. Popularized by [[ESEA]]-Invite Level [[Scout]] player [[carnage]].

; Middie: When a [[Soldier]] hits someone in midair with one of his rockets. Also known as an airshot.

; Pill : A Demoman's grenade.

; Pipe : A Demoman's grenade.

; Quickscope : When a [[Sniper]] scopes in and fires very quickly.

; Roller : A Demoman's grenade after it hits the ground/wall.

; Spam : Repeated shooting at chokes for the purpose of area denial, usually by Soldiers and Demomen due to the splash damage property of their projectiles.

; Splash : The property of the explosion of rockets and grenades to damage players near the explosion without making physical contact with the projectile.

; Uber pop(ped) : When a Medic activates his ÜberCharge.

; Uber Force : When a player forces an enemy Medic to activate his ÜberCharge earlier than desired by presenting an immediate threat to the Medic's life.

; Wipe : A wipe is when an entire team dies in a single fight.

== Metagame terms ==

; Combo : The [[Medic]] and the players that play near him. Their job is to use Uber to spearhead pushes and secure main areas to control objectives on offense and to deny access to the objectives and shut down Ubers on defense. In 6v6, the combo is usually a [[Medic], the Pocket [[Soldier]], and the [[Demoman]]. In [[Highlander]], the combo varies but is most often made up of the Medic, [[Heavy]], Demoman, and sometimes [[Pyro]].

; Domino Cap : When a point is lost because the previous point was taken with such force that a defense of the next could not be set up in time (ex. after a wipe on a 5CP map, a team is likely to lose two control points before they are spawned and ready to fight back).

; Double Overtime : In King of the Hill, when both teams have dropped their timers to 0 and the attacking team has capture time on the point, triggering Overtime.

; Drop : When a [[Medic]] dies before using his fully charged Uber. A uber drop can change the course of a game.

; Leapfrogging : When the two Medics have Ubers out of sync, they can get free Uber pushes into each other without much risk because the other team can't stop invulnerable players without invulnerable players of their own. However, if the push doesn't result in an enemy Medic pick, then the other team will have advantage and can push back in the same manner. This is called Leapfrogging. The occurs commonly on midpoints of [[5CP]] maps when the team that loses their Medic wins the Midfight.

; Pick(s): Kill on player who is on the other team. Generally used to indicate the kill obtained when the enemy team was off guard.
