I kind of do like it, but I don't really have the patience for jump maps. I do have mad respect for people who are good at them, though.

Are Brazuca servers stable for you? They work well enough for me.

I think the contributions TF2 has made to the SFM and Gmod community will be enough to keep it around for a while longer.

heavy is a fat peace of shit anyways, who cares about tf2 when you have minecraft

When they couldn't force a CS:GO-esque skin economy into the game it became an official financial loss for Valve.

They do, but I can't select them as my only choice because I get lowest ping on Chile, so it just sends me there, where it warps like a fucking CyberianGames server.

It's nice to hear that you tried,if you want, jump_academy 2 is really beginner friendly (friendlier so than jump_academy 1) since it's got so many jumps, it allows you to progress in smaller but more numerous steps, so you can actually see yourself progressing, I'd recommend giving it a shot sometime.

Some maps like jump_4starters, jump_littleman sometimes get you stuck on the same jump for weeks because of the large difference in difficulty between jumps.

So what’s the deal with weapon skins? Are they a possible drop or some shit?

Yeah, with war paint cases.
And keys for said cases.

Did you open the game in the past 2 years?

I can do pogos and simple wall jumps but can't do syncs, speed shots or high speed strafing. That being said though, I am also replaying a lot of Quake 1 so hopefully some of those rocket jump skills translate back into TF2. Might need to use the Original to ween myself to TF2 physics

Maybe with a Brazilian VPN or something. I haven't played tf2 in a while though. Why don't most online games get an Argie server? We're bigger than Chile and most argentinians with computers probably live in Central/southern Argentina, far from Brazil...

Why did it take tf2 players 8 years to start making defrag style maps for soldier?

They fucked it up by not making them single-use items to apply into existing weapons

Syncs are definitely tricky. The whole difficulty with syncs is timing, which is something you can only really acquire after a lot of trial and errors.
For syncs, I would recommend a few things :
1) Start by dropping off a large height, shoot a rocket to sync, and instead of actually syncing, just get used to the timing of when the first rocket you shot hits the ground.
It's also useful to look at the rocket coming down on you as you touch the ground, especially later when you try 3,4 or even 5 rocket syncs.
2) Run the game in slow-mo to get a better sense of when to shoot (when you're on a server you host yourself, the command is host_timescale [number, where 1 = 100% time scale]
youtube.com/watch?v=-LPSsif6n_U

For speedshots, I would recommend :
1) Get a good feeling for how ping affects the delay in your rockets. The more ping, the more you'll have to delay your shots. I know aproximately that lower than 30 ping, I have to shoot before I land on the ground to speedshot, over that, and I'll have to delay a little, but it's very subtle and is something that' you shouldn't rely on too much, it's always better to learn things by feel rather than by cold logic when it comes to those things.
Also speedshots are windows of less than 10 frames most of the time, don't feel bad about not hitting them directly.

As for speed strafing, I can't recommend anything in particular, just pactice, practice, practice.
Maybe you can go on freestyle maps (freestyle_egypt and freestyle_chromatic), because those have launchers that usually launch you at high speeds, since you can set binds to teleport if you use a host server, it can be practical. I would recommend a "sandwich" technique for strafing; so you do one attempt where you do soemthing you consider too much, and one attempt where you strafe too little, and reduce how little or how much you strafe little by little, I know it worked for a lot of people I've taught, hope it helps, keep on trying!

>Dr. Face took a hiatus and became an extremely gay furfag despite making quality gmods
He tried to warn us way back in 2011, but we didn't listen

youtube.com/watch?v=pWTtKhy6rz0

I’m not sure. I believe he’s done one or two things in various recent collabs.
He’s great but doesn’t upload often enough

I think that the jump community has always existed, but for a long time, it's been very in touch with the competitive community, where jumping was only considered to be a single competence of competitive play, so if people wanted to make a jump movie, they'd more often than not make a frag movie featuring nice jumps, rather than a movie based on jumping alone.

The development of beginner friendly resources also greatly helped.
Well, quite a few things changed, you might hate it, you might maybe like it.
If you're considering booting the game up anytime soon, I would recommend installing mastercomfig (7.0 to get the GUI).
Basically due to the era during which TF2/the source engine was made, the game takes most of it's power from the CPU rather than the GPU which is the opposite of current trend.
Mastercomfig basically improves graphics, networking, sound and even some other minor things. Yes I was paid to say this and yes mastercomfig mines bitcoin on your computer.

yeah eltorro's animations are uncannily smooth and fluid for gmod so his upload infrequency is understandable

That’s pretty cursed. And something I missed when it was new.

If you want, tf2rjweekly will host the Beginnings 6 contest in a few months. It happens once a year and it's goal is to showcase the best of the best of the community, jumpers, mappers, editors, and even modders.
Last time, you could win a medal (pic related) if you submitted a time (as a demo) faster than the showcase time of a newly featured map. I think that with the time until the next contest, it's not impossible to think you could participate, it would be a nice goal to reach and to motivate you to go even further and maybe in a few years, get the gold.

Post-2013 Eltorro is soulless though.
There's a level of smoothness and production quality after which a Gmod video stops feeling genuine, and he's already way past that point.
Same with ST and Delak

What if heavy had a burst fire weapon that would for example, fire three to five bullets in a row, and for each successive hit, increase damage?
Like you could reward aim both in one hit and tracking while also keeping the high damage output of the heavy by allowing him to shoot multiple targets "at the same time"?
I have thought of this concept again and again and I fail to see where it would fail except in the suppressing fire department, but I think it's a fair trade if you're going to give him higher damage output.
I haven't thought of any "stats" yet, I think it's more important to consider what a weapon brings to a character that he didn't have before rather than directly looking at stats.

What do you guys think, any heavy mains could give me feedback on this?

>12 years have passed and the TFTeam are still complete fucking idiots when it comes to map design
I don't get how.

Unfortunately it would mean jackall if it could counter soldier or demoman. Meaning it’ll be nerfed before it even makes it past the theorycraft

Let's imagine the weapon is allowed into the game, do you think it would actually work, and it could be balanced?

For me, the issues with the heavy are :
>no mobility depth
>no weapon depth
>little gamesense required
(due to a huge health pool and how many save options he has)

I think it passes those except for mobility.
>weapon depth
accuracy is required and rewarded
>gamesense
prediction needed to track your targets better

I don't know man, it just feels right

In theory it sounds like a buffed up pre rework Panic Attack. Which sounds great to use against midrange to somewhat close range targets. How is the bullet spread? Initial damage? Just for sake of argument.

I haven't played tf2 for 10 months, what am i in for?
>engineer main

Attached: 1555510806580.jpg (480x542, 57K)

It certainly resembles the concept, I didn't think of it before!
As for your concerns, I would argue for a rather tight spread but this would definitely go hand in hand with damage falloff, probably harsher so than the default one, but I fear that it would make the weapon feel too loaded with specs.

As for initial damage, I didn't exactly think of it.

I want to give you an answer so I'll whip out the tf2 wiki page for the minigun as to get a good grip of dps/range, I'll definitely try and keep the thread alive until then, it shouldn't take me too long.

never

Absolutely fuck all has changed. It's safe to assume TF2 became abandonware.

I can see it being something like this. An automatic shotgun but like welded into a minigun frame. Or a minigun with a shotgun drum.

Dude it’s been 11 years. TF2 is pretty much complete minus the final comic

Okay so here's what I came up with.
If we want 3 bullets per burst, I would argue for :
0.4 seconds between each bullet (so
Starting bullet does 30 damage, but the second one does 45 and the last one 60, then staying at 60 for every consecutive shot.

Now it does sound weird on paper, but I wonder how it does in practice.
I need to learn c++ to try those.

Thank God.

Maybe they'll further fix him in the Heavy update. And fucking buff all the weapons they gave him.

the fact that they killed degreaser pyro shows they want pyro to be a braindead shitty meme class, he will never be good.

Mercenary Park is aesthetic.

>the thermal thruster taunt takes so fucking long to start up that you can't even carry it just to give people you kill a killcam of your braps

Find a way to fuck around with the minigun firing speed and how many bullets per round get fired off. Don’t know if it can be done in the dev console

Anyone got that pic of the EYE Divine Cybermancy Pyro loadout?

It’s a great theme fucked up by Valve only having 4 or 5 actual devs working on TF2. Down to 2 if I’m not mistaken.

I honestly wonder how many applications are turned down for the TF2 team

Thats all it got going for it. Actually playing it is awful.

I don't see what's wrong with it, seems pretty balanced to me.

I hadn't even considered the possibility that new players would take comp seriously. Ignore that shit completely. If you are interested in playing competitively you should go through 3rd party organizations.

Competitive TF2 is a complete joke that only braindead retards take seriously.
Never under any circumstances take part in it.

Also the main thing truly is casual/community servers.

I can say that I have been a successful DJing in tf2 the whole last month.

I literally made us win games with great curated and timed songs.

Push it to the limit did bring the payload to the end of the road a lot of the time. Sure I got my fair share of kick at first but once you get the general mood people really appreciate you. It is also important to have it just loud enough so people can talk over for team communication.

Probably had 100 friend requests that month that I had to refuse. Will probably do some more Djing this summer

I booted up TF2 to play TF2, not fucking Habbo or Club Penguin. Friendlyshit servers already infest the server browser.

I would also add that time of the time have just as much impact as the songs you play.

You could play shitty lo-fi all nights and people would appreciate it. But during peak time you need to put peak performance or you would get kicked ASAP.

Yeah, they were added at the same time as the other alien maps that are actually miscellaneous maps, so same patch means same map category because Valve.

I feel like its the higher standards these days. Way back then, everyone was making silly 5 -15 second stopmotion shorts in gmod. Then, some really good animators started raising the bar, and when SFM came out, the bar was risen even higher. Since SFM is a clusterfuck to use, and few people have the patience to work with it and compete with the big names that have mastered SFM, the scene isn't so big these days.

But like I said the prinny knife works for all classes, so the "exclusiveness" of the golden pan has already been ruined.

I literally never see any spies or engies use stock reskins to begin with not only cause theres so few but because most spies dont use stock knife

What a mess.
Those two need to be moved to their proper categories.
And the Halloween PD maps need reskins. And they need to add some community Medieval and SD maps. Then make PD, SD, Medieval, and Arena their own categories. And throw Standin with Hydro and Snowplow for a Misc CP group.
