Introduction

The original goal of NLC was to provide guidance to new players to take their first step into the competitive scene, help returning players back into the groove, or anyone that just wants to learn a new trick or tip. I think the base goal has been met with the videos created below. Although there is much more to TFC (showing how much depth this game has), any additional videos will be created by request. You can DM me (nuki#0779) if you have any requests on specific information you are looking for, or if there are other content out there that the original creator consents to be added onto this site. For other Fortress games (QWTF/FO, FF), I am not well versed in those games to create any videos. However, if there are other content creators that are interested in adding anything to this site, I am open to updating the website as well.

TFC Basics, Tips, and Tricks

Unfortunately, competitive TFC has a lot of basic "bugs" that need to be mastered to be effective at the game. Understanding and utilizing these basic techniques opens up the vast amount of creativity you can do with the game (just know that there are still new techniques and patterns being learned today).
