some kind words here

Common questions[edit]

  • FAQ here


Preliminary thoughts[edit]

This page should eventually become a getting started guide for competitive tf2. Not sure if we need original content, as there are a few getting started guides already out there.

Best to continue to collate them here, before an Editor summarises it all.

Not sure whether the scope of this page should be

  • Intro. to the gamemodes
  • your future tf2 career, from team to team, pugging, mixes. pubs -> lobby -> pugs? -> team
  • technical requirements

theres a lot of content to be covered...
