The banner

[Scruga]

I've been using the buff banner a lot lately. The main reason for that is it's awesome sound and the feeling you're a true soldier. The other reason is that I can score points without killing the opponents but get points through assists. But it's starting to give me a kinda overpowered feeling. When defending at chokepoints it's charged in about 20 seconds. Then, once activated, you get loads and loads of assists leading to dominations. I'm not sure what the priority of an assist is with the buff banner. (like a medic getting an assist instead of the person who last damaged the victim). I think it probably works has priority over everything except medics. And that's what i'm worried about. I've never in my soldiers life before the update dominated more than 1 person. Today in hoodoo I dominated 6 people and they didn't even capture the first point. Anyone else who feels this 'weapon' is a bit overpowered?

I don't have the banner yet, but from what I have see, it's a great unlock that promotes teamwork.

I agree with kaplan, it promotes teamwork, a lot like a multiperson kritz to pop. Personally, (and I haven't checked hlstats in a bit to see if anyone has done this yet) I want to be the first person on teh server to get a kill with a deflected direct hit. I deflected a direct hit point blank on friday, I think, but he died later from my fire :(.

What cookies said.

Also, I think that it's not too over powered, because people can see the flag and pop the guy in the head to stop the rush, beat it back, and possibly kill half the team. I think it's just a matter of time so that people learn the new tactics and learn how to deal with things.

That could be very true. Like spies are much less of a danger compared to the release of TF2. In that case I'll just happily start buffing my team again, try and kill me ;D

Thanks for giving me a hint of what I've recived yesterday, was about to ask what it was:idea:

I'm loving the buff banner as well. It's like enabling a little mini-kritz army...makes pushing way more fun. The points rack up faster than ever now!

[Snix]

I want the achievements *pouts*

My banner is lost forever. I gotta find it or craft it :|

It's a really fun item but I'm starting to miss the quick shotgun kills.
