Rooster + Mumble info

Key things to look out for on Lakeside:
1) Spy can do a lot of damage here. If you see someone out of position, shoot them.....or just shoot everyone not already doing a task. Pyro will be an essential spycheck here, no roaming this time. Also try your best to NEVER walk directly up behind the Medic....that's what Spies do.
2) Scout can flank very easily. He can double jump from the point onto the sniper area. Watch what you're doing as you come out of spawn, because they are known to camp there...and you should camp there as well.
3) DIVING!!! Its raining Soldier! Overheal and give comms to Soldier so he can kill their Medic before they get uber. If nothing else, he can bomb and injure before we have uber/kritz. Demoman is also pretty awesome at diving here, but it should be done more sparingly.
4) Focus down that pesky Sniper! When facing Snipers that dont miss often, you really need to give communication for where they are. This will allow your Spy/Scout/Sniper to really focus them down. Incredibly important if you want your Medic to not get picked off.

2 key points for all maps in HL: If you die to a spy/sniper, call where he is so no one else is an easy target.

Class Roles:
Scout - Flank and flank and flank. Pester the Sniper and give communication as to where their Medic is. This is incredibly important. With this valuable information our Soldier/Demoman can dive him before he gets uber. So frustrating! Cause that frustration for them. If you dont hold mid, then do what you can to take over the house side and push in that side when your team pushes in so you can hopefully get some picks.
Focus: Sniper, Sniper, Comms, Sniper, Comms, Medic

Sniper - Kill everything that you see. Not too complicated (per normal).
Focus: Sniper, Medic, Hwguy

Soldier - Wait for the communication as to where their Medic is. If its close enough, DIVE BOMB!!! This is super effective on this map and can destroy them. If your bombs are not successful, then do a closer float to your Medic and just shoot rockets at their feet to give damage output. Soldier and Demo both doing this can help Scout/Hwguy clean up kills.
Focus: Medic, Spy checking, Scout, Sentries (so Scout can run wherever he wants)

Demo - Get ready for Kritz and spam where necessary. Sticky out of respawn, go middle, then sticky up to the house. This is the fastest rollout and needs to happen every time or you lose house every time. Go directly through house, or go to mid and then swing house, either way its a very strong position to hold early on. Then you can rotate to wherever the fighting is. You can make dives when the Soldier does and make sure the Medic is down. Listen for Medic to call this out or else just stay with him. Sticky house area to block that way from them.
Focus: Be ready for Kritz, Be ready to Dive their Medic, Spam

Medic - Stand out of Sniper fire as much as possible. There really is no "safe" place to stand. Each team will attack differently, so find the spots that they ignore and rotate through areas so they never know exactly where to bomb in. Hiding behind house is good because a soldier HAS to jump from mid in order to get the distance to swing around. Hopefully by then someone calls it out. Another strong one is the complete opposite side and you can use the area under Sniper as a quick getaway to regroup and repush. Call strong pushes. If you run Kritz, make sure the Demoman is alive and reloaded before pushing, Heavy needs to go as well. Watch for Spies dropping down from the Sniper deck.
Focus: Stay alive and pop ubers

Hwguy - Stay with the Medic. Keep your eyes open to Spies and look back as much as you can. If you have mid, stay behind house or in house with Demo/Medic.
Focus: Scout, Spy, Be ready for Pushes

Pyro - Stay with Medic, airblast ubers, flare snipers with flare/detonator. Watch backwards while everyone else watches forward. Stop the Scout/Spy from getting easy picks while the Medic is focused on communication and pushes.
Focus: Spycheck, airblast ubers and stickies, flare sniper

Spy - Stand on their side as much as you can and give comms. Backstab Hwguy as much as you can, but mainly stand over there so your team ALWAYS know where their Medic is. This will allow you to coordinate a dive. So even if the Soldier dies, in that time you can possibly get a solid backstab or kill on someone else and run away.
Focus: Comms first, Hwguy second, Medic third

Engy - Build miniguns in smart spots that can stay alive. If we take mid, put it on mid with a dispenser in a designated spot (basically wherever everyone holds, behind house or near the palm tree). Also get a teleporter up as quickly as possible on your side of house. No more running. And we need comms when this is unsafe to take as well.
Focus: Build and maintain
