Tf2 thread

TF2 would be better if everyone that begged for "competitive matchmaking" were banished to minecraft servers
I'll never ever get over Meet Your Match.

>removing the first class for no reason
..............................?

Unironically Party Van, it's only up on weekends but it's the closest you'll get to the classic TF2 custom server experience.

party van tonight?

Heavy's design is (G)old tier. Playing Heavy is boring af tho

Is it just me or is Tomislav extremely effective against sentries?

Do Heavy mains even exist? He's so fucking easy to play

where's the fucking party van

is the party van actually good ? i never joined it

Typical 'no objective' server with lame to great micspam

Tomislav is better at range so kinda yeah.

Why did he get the most boring unlocks? Heavy is slow and has like 5 different hard counters you'd think that would allow for some wiggle room with his weapons and it's not like Valve gave the tiniest shit about balance to begin with.

No mortar, no flak cannon, no experimental energy weapon, no riot shield, nothing. And maybe those aren't good ideas for weapons but fucking anything is better than what he ended up with.

every class in the game is so great and useful
I could play the game forever with so many maps and modes

People really underestimate the rampage I can go on with my Family Business. They never expect a heavy to pull out a shotgun and go full retard.

Why are all 9 so likeable?
Usually there are tier ranks on how likeable you find one over the other and some characters you completely hate guts and most threads would be about disagreeing on the exact nature of it.
But in TF2, all 9 are pretty enjoyable. Why is that?

Welcome to the cool club. Here is your PhD in Shotguns.

How much time do we have left /tf2/bros? It's been a year and a half since we've gotten an update and there is no sign they're dropping one? Could this be the last of the updates?

I'll still play the game until I die, but I really hope Valve doesn't drop it entirely. I hope you all will play with me, bros.

Attached: 1550348149105.jpg (720x847, 59K)

Iw seen this happen couple of times, its pretty weird seeing people trying to gun down a heavy who just casually shotguns them to death without any problem.

Somebody give me fun loadouts for Pyro and Soldier. They are my two least favorite / least played classes, which is weird since they have such a wide variety of weapons.

Attached: 1544136314428.png (253x167, 17K)

Just use the diamond back

If they drop it, someone might try to make a clone and pander to classicfags.
This would be glorious.

Wait until you try the widowmaker now that's a gun

In terms of gameplay? You still see people complain about them but really not as much as other games. In terms of personality and design? Valve actually spent a lot of time refining each character to fit in with their gameplay.

I'm a Panic Attack man, myself.

Itll go on as long people play and buy cosmetics, unless Valve desides to make TF3.

That gun is shit though

Because they're really thin, but with almost no overlapping characteristics.

Drop an adjective that you would use to describe a person, and it will really only apply to one of them.

It is better than the shotgun if you can land 30+ damage shots.

widowmaker is a meme unless you have a pocket kritz medic

How is it a meme it's a better shotgun so long as you can aim

Insane describes about half of them.

random crits are fun when they come from a melee weapon

Cow Mangler 5000, Concheror, Pickaxe that deals more at low hp

This soldier build doesnt need health or ammo pickups if played defensively. Fucking perfect for the roof of suijin or badwater defense.

Flamethrower, Scorchshot, Powerjack. Jack of all trades pyro. You get good airblasting, good burn damage for puff n' run, get range with scorchshot and good mobility with scorchshot jumping and powerjack. It's also shit at W+M1 so you'll actually have to learn to play.

you have to make get in close for max effectiveness and as an engy you really shouldn't be that close to anything, I can s

Only if you’re a turtling engie, otherwise it’s not worth it because your metal is fucked

Really only Soldier and Pyro, and even then for different reasons.

>Medic
>Not insane.

I only play pyro for puff n sting so no

because
1. nobody has perfect accuracy
2. can't shoot stickies
3. can't spycheck
4. can't do chip damage
5. have to choose between building and shooting
6. upside is negligible in most situations
if you need more than 6 shots then you are biting off more than you can chew, you aren't gonna win a 1v4 without a medic up your ass.

If you can aim and are fighting someone that you require more than 6 shots to take down you have made bad life choices.

short circuit costs metal to use too and wrangler only works if you have a sentry up, it isn't sapped, and it has a sightline to what you want to shoot. pistol isn't worth using in any situation over your other unlocks.

using a weak unlock to make up for the drawbacks in a weak primary doesn't make much sense when you could just use stock shotgun.

>from soldiers, demos, medic pairs, and the moment the sentry isn't nearby, scouts
all things widowmaker will not save you from. you are not a combat class you are a squishy engineer. your team should be protecting you. if your team is getting their shit pushed in that's your signal to grab your buildings and retreat. if you die with your buildings you are a shit engineer.
>buildings are meant to die, this is not an easy thing to learn but everyone must do it
doesn't mean you should overextend and get yourself killed by taking unnecessary risks either.
>and it will continue to teleport when you die if your team keeps using it
teleporters are usually the first thing to get sapped

spy with kunai and dead ringer

I only play Heavy also

nice

>you are not a combat class you are a squishy engineer.
you're 100hu/s away from basically being a Scout, with optional added health and the ability to place buildings
if you still can't fight with that, that's a you problem
>doesn't mean you should overextend and get yourself killed by taking unnecessary risks either.
I didn't once mention overextending, it's possible to fight without being a retard like you seem to imply
>teleporters are usually the first thing to get sapped
1. how many spies are you actually playing with if they're really a problem
2. that'd be the sentry

Imagine actually getting mad about a mechanic thats been in a the game for ten years.
Now imagine bitching about again after ten said years is going to make the lazy fuck at valves remove them.

With all that you mentioned why not just be good with a stock shotgun?

because Widowmaker rewards consistently hitting, and I'll probably be using pistol anyway
nothing's stopping me from switching to shotgun mid-round anyways

Why do bad engineers use jag and rescue ranger? Stock primary and melee is better in 95% of situations you'll face.
>can't tank with jag
>once sentry teleported the enemy claims ALL that land when you could have just been tanking it instead
>spies jump on your sentry and do spycrab dance while all your buildings are sub 10%hp sapped because you can't hit him with your meme guns that do less damage with less ammo and require more predictive aiming

I like southern hospitality is it actually trash?

Not sure about rescue ranger, but jag is great for offensive engies that need to set up level 2's quickly.

>you're 100hu/s away from basically being a Scout
100hu/s is all the difference in the world. Scout is one of the strongest classes in the game because of his mobility.
>if you still can't fight with that, that's a you problem
I can fight. I use the shotgun and it does the job because 6 shells is more than enough. Taking on 4 players at once is not something engineer should be doing.
>I didn't once mention overextending
The only instance where you would need more than 6 shells is if you're overextended and fighting multiple enemies at once.
>1. how many spies are you actually playing with if they're really a problem
Have you ever played in a pub? Everybody and their fucking grandmother plays spy.

I use the jag solely because i believe if i keep using it valve will put it back to its pre nerf state.

it still perplexes me

>6 shells is more than enough.
not reloading is definitely a benefit, but the main draw is being able to restore building stuff just by killing people, no matter if it's just one enemy
>The only instance where you would need more than 6 shells is if you're overextended and fighting multiple enemies at once.
or if you miss some of your pellets and deal less than 60-90 damage, which widowmaker can still recover from
>Have you ever played in a pub?
I have, and I haven't ever had an issue where I was tripping over spies without having already killed them

Attached: 20190317000804_1.jpg (1920x1080, 182K)

>can't tank with jag
The actual repair (per second) difference between stock and jag is something like ~15 hp.
>once sentry teleported the enemy claims ALL that land when you could have just been tanking it instead
it's better to retreat to the next point and be prepared for the next push than to die with your buildings and potentially lose both points.
>spies jump on your sentry and do spycrab dance while all your buildings are sub 10%hp sapped because you can't hit him with your meme guns that do less damage with less ammo and require more predictive aiming
this part is true. if I use jag I almost always run shotgun with it to deal with spies. not worth using both unless you have a pyro guarding your gun the entire round.

Not an argument.

O.K.

"Not an argument." is the new retard term for "thats realistic but i dont like it"

someone should spray a rei over that

Why cant critfags ever put together a proper argument in favor of random crits? Its almost like there is no defense for them.

>not reloading is definitely a benefit
sure but I'm not in combat so frequently that I can't spare 3.5s to reload my shotgun.
>but the main draw is being able to restore building stuff just by killing people
ammo is not hard to come by in tf2, just go pick up an ammo kit instead of gambling on a 1v1.
>or if you miss some of your pellets and deal less than 60-90 damage, which widowmaker can still recover from
if you're close enough to be doing that much damage you're close enough for most classes to shit on you with rockets/pipes/meatshots/minigun/etc. also don't forget if you're building things at the same time you have a much smaller margin for error. also random spread exists.

>gambling
no gambling required, just aim
if I miss, it wasn't because of a dice roll
>if you're close enough to be doing that much damage you're close enough for most classes to shit on you with rockets/pipes/meatshots/minigun/etc. also random spread exists.
all of that's exactly why having more than six shots would be beneficial

Nah, although it can be annoying to use as a weapon near your buildings since wrench swings prioritize repairs/upgrades over hitting enemies. But a good whack and a few shotgun or pistol shots makes quick work of a spy without relying on crits.

Zooming in on this really makes it hard for me to figure out what emotion the mom has. Her mouth is like an inverted symbol of Mantorok. Also, I know this is all for the gag of the Spy recognizing the taste but the implications are confusing me something fierce. Is she sending milk so that the Scout can be successful in the battle and is embarrassed? Or is it more like some weird incestuous shit? I have so many questions.

Jag is definitely the best overall for offense.

What bots?

There were bots in Euro servers a while back that just sat in spawn as Medic and votekicked anyone that tried to kick them, annoying cunts and what's worse is regular players often pressed f2 alongside them
