I have seen the light of the Classic for at least 3 years now, and by the light I mean the laser detaching from its point of origin and bugging directly into my eyes, I am blind.
Hey fish isn't 2:11 kinda wrong, you mentioned in your vid on the clasic that if you do hit your target in the head with this thing doesn't it do normal damage minus the crit? So its half right half wrong?
I was in a game once when I saw a classic sniper in the team. I asked them if they had another sniper rifle or just the stock but they insisted. Then after being autobalanced, the classic sniper just started going for me. Never underestimate underdogs, man
I'd like to think I am good at sniper, he's my main class after all. There was a guy on koth_sawmill who I was outsniping and dominating. I can't even imagine what he was thinking when he switched to The Classic, but he is terrifyingly good with it. The only reason I didn't get counter dominated was because the round ended. I have no idea why, but I just couldn't hit him, his movement was beyond weird. That was the first time I truly questioned my own skill, and I saw the light of The Classic.
That is what I love about TF2, I have 2700 hours in TF2 that I've accumulated over over the past 10 years almost (fuck I just realized I've been playing TF2 that long) and I STILL run into players who are in everyway better than me. I don't know a game with a skill ceiling as high as TF2, there's definitely games that come close but TF2 just has so much fucking lateral depth to it. SO MANY DIFFERENT MECHANICS that you can have differing understandings of, and even learn about NEW mechanics after thousands of hours playing.
Couple things I noticed playing with the classic recently. -You can head shot light classes before its fully charged as it only does the 10% reduced damage on bodyshot. -You can fix the fucked lazer by increasing you viewmodel fov to 90+
Australian TF2 community is so small I'm beginning to construct a pantheon of recurring names I see in queue. I've played with a bunch of people that I've seen in these vids, like: - kid bungus - lust - wrath - pride - bonk drinker
kid bungus is a mate so he’s usually queued with me, but I do recognise the rest as well. the aussie tf2 casual scene is kinda wholesome as you do so the same people everyday playing.
As an Aussie TF2 player, can confirm. The community is just big enough to see new players each match, but just small enough that it's very possible you'll run into someone you know in any given sesh. Especially if you're playing MvM at 2:00am.
The reason I've really warmed up to The Classic recently is because I've found it fills in a Sniper play style niche for me. Sometimes I find the map I'm on is too close-quarters for the stock rifle, but also too wide open for the Huntsman, and I've discovered that The Classic can work really well in a mid-range situation like that, even with that big headshot downside. I basically treat it as a hitscan Huntsman, and I think it's much easier to get used to the weapon if you think about it from that angle.
Ever since the Classic released, I got a Strange one and placed a descripcion tag that says "People say this is the most UP Rifle for Sniper, I say this is the least OP of them" (Wish I could put a Screenshoot of it, lol) I really love the Classic when I play Sniper, it's a slower Huntsman with Hitscan capabilities and best used when in a crowd of teammates and mid to long range combat. And you could say, I've been day 1 memeber of the Cult of Classic even before it even began, just like a Classic Sniper charging the shot and then showing up to do a 135 bodyshot.
You don’t get bonus damage from classic headshots, but the damage reduction only applies to body shots so it is still possible to one shot some classes.
I like the Classic, I'm able to still perform my duty as Sniper while having a clear view of the battlefield like with the Huntsman. They may be mechanically similar but I love how they both have a fun way to kill people, either by turning the trolldier into a firework with the Classic or, pinning the enemy Medic to the wall with the Huntsman as a warning to everyone else.
As a one of probably biggest TFC fans (I have SO many vivid, awesome memories about it you have no idea), when the Classic was added to TF2 I was almost extatic. And honestly I didn't even feel the downsides of the weapon. Also yeah eXpLoSiOnS cOoL P.S. The laser is not glitched. It was just as HUGE in TFC and this is why they kept it this way for the Classic.
I love the classic so much, i once had a time when i was scoped in to another sniper, but i saw a scout run past my line of sight. I unscoped and headshot him right when he was about to jump and shoot me. It's like the Caber for sniper.
Name: “Wait, did you just get killed by the Classic?” Description: “Yes, you DID.” 2035 kills 56 revenges 25 killstreaks ended 140 demomen killed Streaker: Hypnobeam Sheen: villainous violet The number of people I’ve caused to rage quit with this baby is insane.
This is an interesting situation. I unironically main the classic. For some reason I actually aim so much better with the thing yet I don't know why. I started like this a few months ago and can't go back. Yet when I did start, I noticed a lot seem to...not know what I was doing. I became the anti spawn camper cus I had full view to charge and just gibbed and bad box soldier that is lurking outside my spawn. One scout waiting for me to pop out openly asked in chat how I vaporized him instantly and I had to explain to him how it works. Even on one map I was in a stupid spot and realized, I had funny weapon and I wasn't zoomed in, some people actually thought I was friendly, I wasn't. Some people will actually think you're friendly if done right and that makes it funnier. As I used it more, I noticed the classic used more and everytime a friend says "There's an enemy classic sniper" I will switch to it and have mexican standoffs with them. Every death I have to one, I will openly respect them to let them know how based they are Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk on the life of a classic main, fully unaware of a cult being formed
i have been openly endorsing the classic ever since i used it and i was happy when i saw it more and more. i'd like to think i was a part of it but i realise it's because there are more classic cultists than i'd imagined.
Status update for my progression of Classic gamin. Bought a professional killstreak kit for the classic. Only need one more specialized killstreak thing to create my child. Also some strange oils for it, I will become the figurehead of classic gaming I have the classic gaming now
Honestly, the reason I enjoy the classic the most, (I used to have like, 1.3k headshot kills on it) is it makes you VALUE your shots. Normal sniper rifle? .2 seconds til you can fire again. Classic? You gotta wait. Make your bullet count.
As someone who plays sniper exclusively with the classic, I've found that more often than actually getting backstabbed by a spy, I seem to have a tendency to delete cloaked spies because they just so happen to be running in front of me when I'm shooting at someone else
It's like the huntsman in a way. They see you not scoped in, think "oh, I can probably slip by without being popped, it's alright;" and then proceed to get popped because they misjudged.
as someone who personally doesnt play tf2, or in other words has a social life, you managed to make a minidoc about something i couldnt care less about somehow interesting.
Can someone explain why after i kill someone with classic 2-3 times, im getting targeted and taunted afterwards? Just something that happens alot recently
I crafted an untradeable classic a year after I made my steam account, two years later I made it strange and ProKS I've been a classic cultist for a long time
To be honest, i think The Classic is one of the few actually *balanced* sniper rifles- Normally, they're broken, honestly- point and click free instakills. And trust me, i mained sniper for a long time!
True. I couldn't disagree more when he started saying how "awful" it is - anything that can do 450 damage from fucking Mars just by holding M1 and releasing it when the dot aligns with the slowest class's head hitbox is in no way "bad"
I'm glad this is a thing now. I've celebrated the classic honestly for years. My 7 key has been bound to say "Praise Classic" for a few years now and I use it every time I gib someone. It's awesome.
In a parallel timeline Valve gradually added all of TFC weapons in TF2, with all their meme-worthy, janky mechanics. Too bad we're not in this timeline.
well, I figure no one cares about super in-depth weapon analysis anymore because it’s been done to death, so i like making stupid narratives about starting cults
Classic with Razorback makes it so that you can react to a Spy while still charging your shot. If they get one shot in, just react to it and noscope them. Trust me, they will not forget that humiliation.
The thing with overconfident enemies are that if you kill them it's pretty satisfying A pyro kept shooting his flair at me and i even moved my mouse left and right but wouldn't listen so i just headshot him if you are a pyro main and you face off against a sniper then do not do it, the chances of you betting if they miss isn't worth
2:14 More specifically, that's when the weapon can do crit damage on a headshot. With how the weapon is coded, you do a full 50 damage on the head and around 40 anywhere else on the body if you don't charge the shot at all. That said, that downside is why I love the weapon. It gives other players a chance at passing through your sightline without instantly getting dropped. This weapon, the Huntsman, and the Sydney Sleeper are definitely the best Sniper primaries if you want to reel it back a tad and not absolutely stomp a casual server or any casual-like community servers.
Old comment but what would be the point of using the machina then? Losing no scopes and gaining a tracer in exchange for piercing charged shots seems very underwhelming.

@@elmaxoTF2 that is true, but what i mean by underwhelming is that its usually not very effective and is generally used by new players who dont understand the weapon or used by good players as a gimmick just to mess around. Its like the loose cannon in a way.
It's not a bad weapon It's just that sniper is fucking broken, and the Classic makes it balanced. But being balanced when you could be broken makes it look bad.
I’ve been preaching the use of the Classic for months. Sometimes when I use it, the other snipers on my team also switch to it. It’s time to overshadow the sweaty “real rifle” snipers. We must blot out the sun with our no scopes.
@@herus1 I’ve got the opposite problem, where I’m so used to charging the Classic in the downtime of patrolling a sight line/area, so now when I use a normal rifle I’m firing bullets for no reason.
*_REAL TALK_* *with a little rework, the classic would be actually the foundation of an actual balanced sniper* - punishment for missing shots - longer Intervals between firing - visual alert when fired - less body damage it also needs: - less (quick scope) headshot damage (maybe 120 - 140)(tho i don't mind 125 damage, f*ck light classes) - much less ammo, maybe 12 or fewer rounds - way less defence possibility in close combat (partially achieved with 100 base health) sniper should be still able to do quick scope battle with other snipers sniper has to be a class cannon and support role above everything else, and should be stripped far away from single-handed dominating a match without any counter
Quickscopes can stay at 150 as long as the duration of the sniper actually scoping in takes a bit longer. I say this because Sniper should still be able to kill a medic because a medic is an important pick and sniper is a pick class really
I actually started a group called "The Classic Gang" and we called the classic "The Meta"... We actually have a stream group and made a logo and everything.
I remember when I made a pyro cult, I somehow got the entire server to go pyro, we had a time of peace, hell we even had a civil war! Ah good times, good times.
6:48 jumping while scoped when they're quickly reacting can be very good. you take damage from getting hit in the body. but while they go back in cover you instantly gain the advantage. the classic is a set up weapon and forcing your opponent into giving you that set up is free kills.
Classic was one of the first weapons I gravitated to coming from the Splatoon games where the sniping weapons function similarly... before realizing how much faster even the slow ass E-liter is in comparison to the Classic.
I think one more thing to consider is that, and I don't know how it works entirely so I assume it's how you charge it, but clicking to headshot is slower than releasing the button, so against other snipers you have that tiny, miniscule moment of opportunity to hit their head because, unlike them, you were already mid-click. This only works if you can peek a corner before they bodyshot kill you though.
The Classic was the first Strange Sniper Rifle I've ever owned and I'm *PROUD* of it. How I got to the Classic in the first place? Two words: *SNORKEL SNIPERS* I've also got a Strange Sydney Sleeper renamed to "Garbage CTF Sniper" for the other lols in case I want to switch off the Classic every once in a while. And just in case I want to got full tryhard I own an AWPer Hand renamed to "watch this awp down mid bro" I've been a proud member of the Classic Cult for over two years now and I'm enjoying every bit of it.
I went on a godlike with the classic three or four times. I normally suck at sniper. But when I'm using the classic, for some reason, the only classes that I can't kill are high level scouts, and that one sniper who's got 10,000 hours for some how. Also: the reason more spies seem to be able to kill you more, ties back into that awareness thing. When it's just you and your scoped in rifle, you can spend less attention on who to shoot, and more attention on the sounds around you, like decloak noises. But when you don't have to scope in to kill, suddenly there's way more visual information to process, meaning less attention to sounds. At least, that's what I assume. Ps: valve, please decrease the time it takes to fully charge the classic by like .5-1.0 seconds
since the classic is a refrence to tfc (team fortress classic) thats the reson it explodes (gids) (since its gold source u just explode into gibs whenever u die thats the reson of the explosions)
The Classic was unironically my first sniper rifle, and to me represents those good old days when I was just starting out. A clueless newbie to the game, just vibing and having fun. The first thing I did when I got a Strange Classic was to go on an idle server to farm kills because I was a dumbass, and I've never reset it's counter. I honestly take pride in those times, to the point of renaming said Strange Classic to 'Ancient Memories' The Classic will always hold a very special place in my heart.
You fool I have been a part of this cult since 2017. All hail the glory of the Classic. I think this video is a better way to describe the satisfaction of the weapon, rather than the one I made. You're a great small content creator, have a new subscriber.

So that’s why you were on so many Australian casual and Uncletopia servers with the classic, starting up cults wherever you went :D
perhaps.....
The classic isnt a bad weapon, its just really underwhelming
i disagree, it is very fun + satisfying
@@elmaxoTF2 that is true, but what i mean by underwhelming is that its usually not very effective and is generally used by new players who dont understand the weapon or used by good players as a gimmick just to mess around. Its like the loose cannon in a way.
It's not a bad weapon
It's just that sniper is fucking broken, and the Classic makes it balanced.
But being balanced when you could be broken makes it look bad.
@@inbeing3464 loose cannon is atleast viable
4:49 superb background music I love fortree
I’ve been preaching the use of the Classic for months. Sometimes when I use it, the other snipers on my team also switch to it.
It’s time to overshadow the sweaty “real rifle” snipers. We must blot out the sun with our no scopes.
My brain gets confused that you need to stop holding button and not just click it. Thats why i miss most classic shots, so stock rifle is my choice
@@herus1 I’ve got the opposite problem, where I’m so used to charging the Classic in the downtime of patrolling a sight line/area, so now when I use a normal rifle I’m firing bullets for no reason.
the first time i saw a good Classic sniper he had a collectors profesional ks Classic with the description “I can see your niplles trough your shirt.”
that is extremely disconcerting
*_REAL TALK_*
*with a little rework, the classic would be actually the foundation of an actual balanced sniper*
- punishment for missing shots
- longer Intervals between firing
- visual alert when fired
- less body damage
it also needs:
- less (quick scope) headshot damage (maybe 120 - 140)(tho i don't mind 125 damage, f*ck light classes)
- much less ammo, maybe 12 or fewer rounds
- way less defence possibility in close combat (partially achieved with 100 base health)
sniper should be still able to do quick scope battle with other snipers
sniper has to be a class cannon and support role above everything else, and should be stripped far away from single-handed dominating a match without any counter
Quickscopes can stay at 150 as long as the duration of the sniper actually scoping in takes a bit longer. I say this because Sniper should still be able to kill a medic because a medic is an important pick and sniper is a pick class really
So literally the Sniper from TFC? Minus the less ammo.
@@evdestroy4121 given that the Classic is based off of the TFC sniper, that makes sense
@@user-bo6vy5eg8g I know.
you watch b4nny stream?
I actually started a group called "The Classic Gang" and we called the classic "The Meta"... We actually have a stream group and made a logo and everything.
objectively the best sniper rifle
No

This was an extremely well argumented, well put together cult pitch, and I'm ready to sign up!
I remember when I made a pyro cult, I somehow got the entire server to go pyro, we had a time of peace, hell we even had a civil war! Ah good times, good times.

My guy have you PLAYED TF2? One guy killbinds and like 3 more follow.

6:48 jumping while scoped when they're quickly reacting can be very good. you take damage from getting hit in the body. but while they go back in cover you instantly gain the advantage. the classic is a set up weapon and forcing your opponent into giving you that set up is free kills.
absolutely fucking love the pokemon mystery dungeon background music. great soundtrack *thumbs up*
aye thank you, Pokémon OST is forever goated in my heart - wanna start using Mystery Dungeon stuff more
They could lower the charge time on this by half a second and turn it into a plague in the game. But Valve was too wise to let it happen.
You had me at "The funny." Where do I sing in?
steam group is down below 😈
Thank you for uploading this on my birthday.
no problem, i hope you have a good day
Classic was one of the first weapons I gravitated to coming from the Splatoon games where the sniping weapons function similarly... before realizing how much faster even the slow ass E-liter is in comparison to the Classic.
I think one more thing to consider is that, and I don't know how it works entirely so I assume it's how you charge it, but clicking to headshot is slower than releasing the button, so against other snipers you have that tiny, miniscule moment of opportunity to hit their head because, unlike them, you were already mid-click. This only works if you can peek a corner before they bodyshot kill you though.
The Classic was the first Strange Sniper Rifle I've ever owned and I'm *PROUD* of it. How I got to the Classic in the first place? Two words: *SNORKEL SNIPERS*
I've also got a Strange Sydney Sleeper renamed to "Garbage CTF Sniper" for the other lols in case I want to switch off the Classic every once in a while.
And just in case I want to got full tryhard I own an AWPer Hand renamed to "watch this awp down mid bro"
I've been a proud member of the Classic Cult for over two years now and I'm enjoying every bit of it.
This video is a classic elmaxo video
fun fact: the classic is mdoeled after the g36 (might be the g36K) with a real scope you can put in there and the iconic raised sight mount
You forgot the part where you can moon walk by scoping in. You walk the normal speed but with scoped in animations.
bruh gibbing a heavy from across the map with a no scope and a big 450 crit screaming out might be one of the best feelings in gaming ever
I went on a godlike with the classic three or four times. I normally suck at sniper. But when I'm using the classic, for some reason, the only classes that I can't kill are high level scouts, and that one sniper who's got 10,000 hours for some how.
Also: the reason more spies seem to be able to kill you more, ties back into that awareness thing. When it's just you and your scoped in rifle, you can spend less attention on who to shoot, and more attention on the sounds around you, like decloak noises. But when you don't have to scope in to kill, suddenly there's way more visual information to process, meaning less attention to sounds.
At least, that's what I assume.
Ps: valve, please decrease the time it takes to fully charge the classic by like .5-1.0 seconds
maxo forming a cult around something then insulting it to the ground
the classic is genuinely good, and my favourite sniper rifle
Thr timing is impeccable. I got a server last night where a classic sniper was dominating.
The cult is strong.
we are going international 😈
I have been wanting someone to talk about how good the classic is. I will definitely look onto joining.
we love to see it, we will welcome you with open arms
I forgot the classic was a meme weapon, it's actually been my go-to sniper rifle for a while now. It's genuinely too much fun
Been using it for ages, also started using in highlander in eu a few seasons back. Glad more people see the value of the classic
people have been mentioning that they’ve tried it in competitive with relative success which scares me slightly
4:16 best and only
Okay but the hard read at 3:50 was insane
my friends actually we're doing this with the contracker glitch, that's what made me main classic
since the classic is a refrence to tfc (team fortress classic) thats the reson it explodes (gids)
(since its gold source u just explode into gibs whenever u die thats the reson of the explosions)
Elmaxo is artificially inflating the price of classic sniper rifles
pfft me? no
i love how the first guy maxo recruits is a qanoner
elmaxo artificially inflating the price of strange professional killstreak classics
uhhhh nooo
This video is a certified cult classic
my strange specialized killstreak classic has been the pride of my steam profile and backpack for ages
I love your editing style!
thanks boss
i actually swap to the classic whenever im losing a sniper battle, i find it easier to fight other snipers with it
Wojak: "you can't just watch a hallway for 10 minutes!"
*Snipings* a good job mate
The Classic was unironically my first sniper rifle, and to me represents those good old days when I was just starting out. A clueless newbie to the game, just vibing and having fun. The first thing I did when I got a Strange Classic was to go on an idle server to farm kills because I was a dumbass, and I've never reset it's counter. I honestly take pride in those times, to the point of renaming said Strange Classic to 'Ancient Memories'
The Classic will always hold a very special place in my heart.
This sounds useful-
I’ve played with enough D2 linear fusion rifles and star wars battle front pulse cannons to use this :D
You fool I have been a part of this cult since 2017. All hail the glory of the Classic. I think this video is a better way to describe the satisfaction of the weapon, rather than the one I made. You're a great small content creator, have a new subscriber.
oh yeah I was hella late to the party on this one lmao
