There are quite  number of redlinks on this page. Now that it's a "main" page link, are these red links going to be made into actual pages or removed? Really, the only useful page I could see is hitboxes ... maybe hitscan. Thoughts? - [[User:Vlad The Impaler|Vlad The Impaler]] 23:41, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

:Well, the redlinks might not warrant individual articles, but I do think most (if not all) warrant at least their own sections. Launch options definitely deserves either its own article, or should be listed in detail on a [[Steam]] article that could include the Steam Cloud redlink. Hitscan, hitboxes, and projectiles might be better off as section in an article about [[Hit detection]]. [[HLStatsX]] I figured would get an article if [[Template:ModNav|more obscure plugins]] have them. RCON I assumed wouldn't actually be an article on RCON specifically, but might be an article like [[Running a server]]. Tournament mode might be in that as well. Commentary, particle, and material editors could probably just be part of a [[Tool mode]] article. And I linked "fps" because I thought it would be good to plan on an article about the various methods for improving fps, which definitely has an impact on gameplay. [[Metagame]] is a definitely noteworthy topic, though it's hard to define with such a diverse community.
 
:I'm definitely open to suggestions on all this. Just sharing my thoughts on it while the discussion's still fresh. '''~[[User:G-Mang|G-Mang]]'''<small> ([[User talk:G-Mang|T]]|[[Special:Contributions/G-Mang|C]])</small> {{ns:0}} 23:50, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Screenshot ==
 
 
 
 
 
The 2fort screenshot makes no sense to a beginner. The health beam seems to be latching on the enemy heavy, and the medic's health is somehow 144 even though the player is clearly heavily wounded.

:I was JUST gonna bring this up. We should have a less action-y screenshot, and one not from the beta. One from the actual game. [[User:Borg184|Borg184]] 04:42, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Status effects ==
 
 
 
Isn't getting heads with eyelander a status effect? You deal more damage, have more health and have a particle effect in your eye. --[[User:SandeProElite|SandeProElite]] 14:04, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
Conniver's Kunai-
 
 
 
Hey I just wanted to point out that the Conniver's Kunai has an overheal effect, the Fan'o'war gives minicrits, and the Concheror could be said to heal if that matters.  I don't want to edit thoug, because I might screw something up.  Thanks.

== Class data ==
 
 
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've noticed that the speed percentage for some classes are incorrect. As seen in-game, the Pyro is the third fastest class before Scout and Medic, faster than the Spy, Sniper and Engineer (which are shown with the same speed percentage as the Pyro in the article). I'm certain about the Spy, since you can observe how the speed increases as you disguise as an enemy Pyro.
 
The opposite thing happens with the Soldier and the Heavy: these two classes have (in my experience) the same movement speed. Again, I could be wrong if the movement speed in-game actually exists, but is barely noticeable. Otherwise this should be edited. Thanks.

:Spies can't run any faster than their default speed if they disguise as a faster class, though they will move slower if disguised as a slower class. The Heavy is by far the slowest, even compared to the Soldier. I'm pretty sure the speed tables are correct.

== Lagging Hitboxes ==
 
 
 
Well, just on sniper talk page was talking about lagging hitbox, I'll just post it here:
 
 
 
"Moving platforms
 
If a sniper is on a moving platform aiming at something else on another moving platform and there is a considerable distance between them, the hit box is not where the character is but rather slightly behind the target or slightly infront of the target depending on the direction each platform is moving. Should there be a mention about this? Nibelhim 06:42, 27 September 2011 (PDT) "
 
 
 
Well, should there be some sort of mention about platform movement affecting hitboxes etc? btw. a stationary sniper shooting at a target on a moving platform is able to aim exactly at the target and a person shooting at a stationary while on a moving platform seems to have difficulty aiming as well [[User:Nibelhim|Nibelhim]] 06:53, 27 September 2011 (PDT)
