Yeah just don’t play capture the flag bc it’s probably the gayest mode until you kinda know what you’re doing

Not in the last decade

Yes, it will be frustrating at first if you are someone who is used to mainly automatic weapons in shooters until you get used to it though.

The fact that people are still talking about it after ten years is proof that TF2 is fun as a barrel of monkeys

no

You'll have to deal with more children and hackers than its heyday, but casual matchmaking is still fun.

Try it, it has it`s moments. I suggest starting with something easy, like soldier or demo.

>not pyro
Pyro literally only exists for shitters who are new to the game.

It's been 12 years and there's nothing that can even match it up. I don't get how.

Pyro may have little requirement of skill, but he also has a serious limitation on capabilities. A well rounded combat class that suits all situations is better for learning than a specialized class for a niche role and combat style.

Learn first, then specialize.
Go soldier.

True but new pyro players die a lot and you only get better when you know the maps, all the ambush points and flanks.

Yes, extremely.

For the love of everything OP dont get into trading. You're 5 years too late to properly enjoy it, the golden age of fun on trade servers is long gone and affordable ref to key ratios. Just stick to playing the game for the sake of playing it, ignore the autists with crazy hats dyed asshole neon, theyre husks of their former selves.

>spent a good part of today just one-two people with this.
God it's so fucking addicting hitting those sweet 100s

Also the MyM update isn't too bad once you reach a certain level. You get to match with more skilled opponents and teams are always balanced in numbers

I used to play all the time since the first Scout update that added the Force-a-Nature, I stopped played a few years ago because I got tired of nothing new being added but comp medals, and just started playing again because it's still fun.

No but the SFM porn is pretty good.

I mean in pub at least, the auto balance is quite aggressive now, and has a tendency to target top scorers.
Speaking of competitive, where is a good entry point? Is "official" matchmaking dead?

>I mean in pub at least
I almost exclusively play pubs and I can say without a doubt pre mym was MUCH better. removing team scramble was stupid, every game is a one sided stomp.

That's always been a thing

>removing team scramble was stupid, every game is a one sided stomp.
Casual games last only two to three rounds (and it only goes up to three in best of three gametypes and therefore wouldn't be a stomp if it lasted that long). By the time it becomes evident that a scramble is needed, the map is over and teams are scrambled anyway when placed into a new map.
I've had plenty of games where one team would get stomped the first round and then make a come back in the second. Unless you're just the kind of fag who wants to scramble every time your team loses, casual does not need scramble.

The downtime between games in itself is annoying and unnecessary. If your team gets stomped nearly everybody leaves the server by the end of the round because nobody wants to wait several minutes for the map vote, waiting for players time, setup time, etc against a team that just kicked their asses. Next game is almost guaranteed to be stacked again because Valve's ELO system either doesn't work or does an extremely poor job of matching players. The majority of TF2 players are garbage so just having an extra 1 or 2 really good players on one team can sway balance significantly. How good the enemy team is comes down more to time of day than anything. Almost all my matches early in the morning I roll over the enemy team. Late at night all the regulars get on and I have to bust my ass to win. MyM was a shitshow and you're a fucking retard if you think this is an improvement over quickplay.

>end of match
>everyone votes for the same map
>server reloads level instead of mp_restartgame 1
why

None of that has anything to do with what I was talking about.

I play a lot of medic and I deliberately do not heal anyone with a gay glowing hat or golden weapon.

Post disgusting cosmetics that deeply violate the original art style of the game.

Its fun to play a few rounds I recently got back into playing. Decided to spend some leftover money in my Steam Wallet to get some extra shit

Other than that its still fun

don't let the camaraderie and memes in our threads fool you, TF2 is a former shell of itself and devoid of any soul nowadays. if you started getting into it now you'd be climbing aboard a sinking ship.

honestly might as well wait around for The Next Big Thing in multiplayer games that isn't this battle royale crap.

The best part about backstabbing taunt-happy, AWP-toting, razorbackless Snipers that you can do it more than once. If you couldn't, that would be a problem.

I never said it wasn't a fun game, but just ask yourself if you prefer TF2 how it is today or how it was, say, 7 years ago?

Forgot the "is" before "that". SHIT.

>Muh nostalgia glasses
>its fun but stop playing it

I love TF2 today and I loved it back then too and I'm not retarded enough to fall for the rose tinted glasses.

>there's still no actual game that does a 1 versus a shitload of players as well as Freak Fortress/VSH

Just play Paladins instead

What are you, gay?

I miss the artstyle but it's nothing compared to losing population in dedicated servers.
I blame matchmaking for how much more common hackers are today. Having active admins present to permaban hackers was much more effective than VAC or a votekick that only keeps a person out of your current session.

And yeah, I know there are still a few populated servers for mods, 24/7maps, surf, trade, etc, but I just wanna play vanilla tf2.

this is my main beef with current TF2, community servers are dead unless you're a furry, unusual trader, or 13 year old who plays fortnite. Normal community servers are dead, and with it most mods and maps.
