This is a video I made to help people beginning to play demoman in Team Fortress 2. I hope it helps people ^^.Added hints and tips: - It was pointed out to me that the video lacks sufficient explanation on how to take down sentries. The main tactic is to fin a place where the sentry doesn't see you and where you can shoot over something to hit it. Then, lay stickies under or around it and ignite 3-5 stickies at the same time.- Also, it was pointed out to me that crouching while stickybombjumping greatly increases how far you fly. I didn't know this, but it's true and is a really nice tip. So if you need the extra distance, lay a stickybomb, jump over it, crouch in mid-air and set off the bomb. It helps.- The bottle can be broken for extra damage. To break it, hit a wall or another solid object a few times with the bottle. Apparently, it does more damage when broken.- Regarding recent nerfs: The demoman has been made less powerful un two ways recently: You have half the stock ammo (32 to 16 for stickies I believe) and shot grenades now always damage you if they hit someone right in front of you. As for the ammo, many people make a fuss of it but it's actually not that big a deal. There's almost ALWAYS a ammo pickup nearby and you could always pick up someone else's gun. Also, you shouldn't run out ammo that much at all I guess. The second posed more of a problem for me, because as shown in the video, I use my shot grenade launcher for short-range purposes. This used to, very rarely hurt you. However, now you end up always damaging and sometimes killing yourself. The damage is not much, and often you can take it, but I thought I should mention it because it makes the method shown in the vid a lot less useful.This is made with the PC version, but it all apllies to the 360 too, naturally. Oh, and sorry for the weird Technique s- text, but I somehow couldn't get that right.I play on the Multiplay Dustbowl 24/7 servers (Both I and II) mostly, so most was filmed on these servers.Fun fact: At about 1:45, the guy I'm killing is Daedalus, who made two other How To Play TF2 videos: Spy and Pyro.

Nov 18, 2008 - here is a tip for the demoman. keep clear of you surroundings and melee area. fire your granade launcher in close cornered areas were enemys are trying to protect areas or integence and blow it all up
yeenar Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Same.Same.

Nov 18, 2008 - ur awsome with the nade launcher
medeepblue Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Oh yeah of course, I shoulda put "Killing pyro's running at you, but not those who are running in a straight line right at you because the you should just aim straight and you kill them.". But I figured people might understand that. They don't. Figures.

Nov 18, 2008 - that was helpful! but whats with the lack of bottle usage?
kaloleon Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - The message at 2:47 is wrong. I still use and think the level 1 medigun is better.
Humantorch00 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Broken bottle doesn't do more damage, it's just visual. The bottle breaks when you hit something and it was a critical hit.
frenzpop Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - 2 stickies usually kill? gl killing a heavy with 2 stickies.

Nov 18, 2008 - mehehe
TF2legend Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - This vid doesnt cover much and kinda throws u off the cliff. Watch the one from Bekimalb TF2 - How to play the Demoman. The video is twice as long as this.

Scyeth Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - there is an exception to the something, which are your teammates
j01tz0r Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - The bottle does not do more damage when broken, when it breaks it because you did a crit shot.
gogohahag Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - wow, nice quality what did you record with? i use fraps but i dont get that good quality
medeepblue Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - fraps as well. Maybe unregistered has worse quality?Or you're compressing it too mmuch.
medeepblue Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Thats why it says *usually*. It means more often than not. So I so bent my words so that I am still right, with the sole exception of the heavy update weekend, where 80% was playing heavy.
