The aim-assist could be adjusted with a slider in the demo I played.

That's still not good, though, because then you'll have some people who are too lazy to aim set the slider to the maximum possible.

That's good to hear. How did you activate your abilities? Was it the bumpers?

You said ''-I didn't really try medic or operative much...'
But earlier in your post you state that:

'-IMO, Operative is pretty useless.'
'Obviously disguising as an enemy is useless, when is that going to work in competitive.'
'I think this class is crap.'
'But to be honest I think a lot of the operative's perks are rather silly'

You are entitled to your opinion, as am I.

I completely agree with you when you said '-I guess this is a hasty judgement as I didn't get to witness the "hacking" of engi turrets' but not because you didn't witness the 'hacking' but because you said yourself, 'I didn't really try...operative much'. Which IMO discredits your entire biased opinion of the Operative class all together. I know you had a lot to take in, in only 30 min time, but it seems to me you had a negative predetermined opinion of the Operative class. Is this true?

I think you have a very opinionated attitude when it applies to writing your experiences of anything. Specifically video games in this case. Thats fine with me because you have your right to say what you want, and as do I, but as a tid-bit of helpful information. I suggest you keep your opinions a little less (for lack of a better word) harsh. As this will not discourage people (like myself) from believing any of the other information you have presented here. The whole reason for creating this journal entry, was to inform gamers of your experience and to get people to understand what you played, what it felt like, and your experience with it. With having such a harsh opinionated stand on the information you have presented, i feel you have lost some people that would/could have sided with you. You may completely right, and i could be completely wrong, but as it stands right now, these are all just opinions.

I envy you for playing it at PAX East, and i wish i could have been there, i hope you are wrong about the information you have presented, and congratulate you on your findings.
Thank you for the information

PS i would also keep the vulgar language to a minimum, as it seems less professional, and doesn't help your cause

Some replies to various things througout this topic:

First of all, hitting respawn at 0 makes you respawn with the previous wave (this is a feature that was present in ET:QW as well I think, to not punish players who wait for a medic and join the respawn wave just a tiny bit too late)

Alright.. Thanks, Cinna!

EDIT: Added a smily to not seem so hostile

What did the weapons feel like? Did they handle like any other FPS, such as Call of Duty, or Crysis?

This means that console brink will become a much slower paced play, and parkour won't play as much of a part with assault rifles and stuff because you are better off just ironsighting and spamming headshots onto kids without aiming.

[censored] awesome... :confused: really hope this doesn't actually happen.

Interesting information, but what I meant was the aiming in general (both ADS and hipfire). Did the aiming feel like Call of Duty aiming?

Thanks for the info so far.

How was the regular sprinting? In the videos it looks very awkward, as your gun swings side to side right in the middle of the screen

Thank you for taking the time to tell us your impressions.

I don't play competition (in fact, I avoid them like the plague), but thanks for the info nonetheless. ^_^

Didn't really pay attention / notice / remember weapon sway being annoying, meaning it couldn't have been too bad or else i would have noticed it.
Not sure though.

There's a Barret? SUH-WEET. Looks like I'm gonna be repeating my MAG sniper days... using a .50 cal with lowest-power zoom at mid/close-range, softening people up and finishing my handy work with a pistol... I'm gonna feel right at home. Nice. :celebration:

As for auto-aim, sounds annoying and it's a shame it's even there. I wouldn't mind it it was minimal, the red dot sight in MAG had "target acquisition", where if an enemy came within a few mm of the red dot it would snap to them and follow them back to the original positioning, but it was barely noticeable and hardly comparable to training wheels. Hope there's an option to turn it off tbh.

In Team Fortress, The Spy generally depends on an uncoordinated team's mistakes to turn a game around. However, a highly efficient competitive team will make very few mistakes, and effective communication will reduce the chances of the Spy being useful in any way whatsoever. This makes the Spy one of the least played utilities in competitive games. I believe this will also be true with the Operatives.
