Alright hold the fuck up. Yesterday there was a TF2 thread where some weird ass link got posted to some video.
I couldn't open it but anons replied "oh shit so it's true that tf2 isnt getting any more updates"
I call complete bullshit on that but I want to be sure so I'm making this thread. Any real news on the current state of the TF2 team? Anything we know for true about future updates?
Also TF2 thread, post your

The only news that relates to the TF2 team is >VNN
He said that there was 15 people on it a while ago, then recently he said there was only two (but that was around the hawaii vacation)
I doubt they would ever just end TF2, but I definately think updates are going to slow down after they release the heavy update whenever they do
Thanks for the info, user. I'm glad the development isn't dead, because the community certainly isn't.
To answer my own question:

>payload
alternatively, medic with the usual optimal loadout

>classic minigun, chocolate,fist of steel

You're welcome. Also

>ctf, I know it's bad but it's simple and addicting
>actually playing heavy
how do you deal with one-shot classes?
Also are you one of those heavy mains who has a medic or two up their asses 24/7 or are you a roaming heavy? If the latter, I'd like some advice m8

Did you stop playing a couple years ago? DR is dogshit now, and that knife is absolutely not helping it.
Also DR is a gun-spy watch that goes well with a strong gun, not a utility gun like the etranger
is this bait?
How do I engineer?
It's really easy really first you build ur shits then defend your shits
Once you realize you can't hold anymore then you gtfo of there and repeat
T. Payload player
I refuse to stop using it, I know that it got nerfed into the ground but I just love the idea of the DR and ER
I still top score with it anyway
Build teleporters and upgrade them. A level 1 tele is actually worse than no tele at all because people stand there waiting for 10 seconds.
Build dispensers in key areas ( learn the maps )
Build sentries in key areas ( again, learn the maps )
If you're on defense use the Eureka and then the Jag to prepare everything during the setup phase, after that equip the stock wrench or the Southern Hospitality.
If you're on attack go gunslinger and help your teammates push the frontline by placing your minisentry in good spots that will help achieving that ( again again, learn the maps )
Also get good at aiming the shotgun, that never hurts.
Stock shotgun is best.
>weird ass link
it's just tyler mcnigger saying that "someone reliable" said tf2 was basically abandonned to a skeleton team even skeletoner than we thought it was
it was a .mkv file right?
I reuploaded it
files.catbox.moe
Use stock knife and diamondback instead. They're great with the DR.
Problem is, now with the invisibility 20% damage resistance the stock Invis Watch can be used as a DR as well: they spotted you? Go invisible and run away.
Best loadout for knife-spy is
>etranger
>kunai
>invis watch
Best loadout for gun-spy is
>diamondback
>stock knife if you have DR / spycicle if you have invis watch
>DR/invis watch
1. Accept that good sentry spots are extremely rare. Everyone knows how to bust a sentry in the year 2019. You have to cover it with your primary nine times put of ten
2. Move your setup frequently
3. Your aim needs to be at or above the level of a scout
4. Dab on spies
I prefer engie. I am free to play, thought, so I hadn't unlocked all of the weapons. I prefer to be a battle engine with the stock shotie and sometimes the widow maker if shit gets down.

>Payload
>Accept that good sentry spots are extremely rare. Everyone knows how to bust a sentry in the year 2019. You have to cover it with your primary nine times put of ten
not him but this is why I personally always run gunslinger.
If a demo places a couple stickies, your level 3 goes down no problem, but now you need a lot of time to get it back up.
However, if someone destroys your mini you can retreat and drop another one in a nasty place nearby and that'll still get you a couple kills while being a decent enough obstacle for the enemy team to waste their time on
at the end of the day though if you pick soldier/demo/scout instead of engi you're helping your team much more anyways
I feel like my favorite class changes every couple of weeks, right now it's scout though
>stock scattergun, winger, sun on a stick
The extra jump height from winger is seriously amazing, it opens up so many more routes and I can't imagine not using it. Sun is nice, it saves me life occasionally and it's not like I actually use melee on scout
They've been on a skeleton crew of probably about 2 people since the MvM update. Browsing the workshop for shit to put in your lootboxes while browsing reddit for exploits isn't exactly hard.
>Solly
>Black Box, Conch, Escape Plan
>2fort
Why is every official tf2 video after the first batch of "Meet The" videos only have the Scout talking?
Is his voice actor the only one available anymore?
we're still getting the heavy update right bros..
He's the easiest to get, along with Spy. It's worth noting that all of the voice actors is still around (they still did voices for the new taunts and competitive voicelines back in MyM and Jungle Inferno), it's just that they're difficult to all get together into a room to record a new short or whatever
The other VA's are too expensive, too old, or can't even VA because of their union
Your teleporter is the most important building, getting your team right back to the frontline is insanely strong, nothing pisses me off more than an engi that doesn't build one. Try to keep your dispenser as far forward as you can so your team can easily use it without it getting blown up.
I don't care what the metafaggotry is, i just use what I find fun, using the DR/LE/ER was fun in 2010/2011, and is still fun today, you just need to compensate with skill
I still change to other Loadout if the other team has really good players
Yeah but that's exactly it right there, fun gimmicks stop working against good players.
I myself get zero satisfaction from doing something that would never work against a good player, so I'm sorta tier whorish like that.

I'd wish they would give the slightest buff to the brass. It's not in a "slippery slope" since literally everything about it is a downside except for the 20% damage bonus, but I like having lots of hp and doing lots of damage so I use it
Wut? That mutated bread story had the Engie, Spy, Soldier and Medic with custom lines. Demoman was just shouting WOOOOO and stuff, he was clearly gone.
This is for all my sniper bros out here.

[obligatory post bitching about random crits]
>how do you deal with one-shot classes?
Turn around and stay under cover. Don’t be the dummy that gets hit because you weren’t aware
>one-shot classes
Check around you and pay attention to sight lines. Positioning is vital.
There is nothing better than getting MVP using subtier weapons to assert domince over the meta using faggots that don't leave their comfort zone
Why do you faggots cry about not getting updates? This game has 10 years worth of extra content.

>I don't think I have one
Don't blame the player, blame the game.
I don't use it myself, I play better off instinct than from actually seeing the head.

Except the last 5 years have been utter trash, I just stopped playing as soon as those CSGO skins came around.
>just dont get backstabbed bro
>just dont enter the sniper sightline bro
please, heavies have to stare at their target for a while and that's when good spies attack
how do we buff heavy bros
sniper /bdemoman (can't decide)
bazaar, darwin shield, kukri / loose cannon, tide turner, half zatoichi
koth
What the fuck do you even want more of?
Most payload engineers are braindead NPC's that either immediately build on last or try to hold the same area for too long while they unga wrench their sentry without setting up the other buildings.
>my trash loadout where none of the weapons work off of each other works against F2P brazilians and that makes me feel good
ok bud, more power to you
just saying if you fight regularly against good players you cannot get away with a shitty loadout
sidegrades that give you different playstyles.
mostly for the heavy because he's a boring and 1 dimensional class, and pretty much every other class has more variety that completely changes how the class plays depending on your loadout. heavy is always the same.
NOT that. I just ruined it for some reason. Maybe because it became all about glitter and not the skill of using an item.
Is not like I can control who I play against since community server are pretty much dead, so meta shit or not is the same
I swear you find the weirdest types of creatures in TF2.
There's always these engineers that make a huge nest in the Intel room or in the last point and just stand there for 20 minutes straight, only to get wiped out as soon as the enemy gets there.
It's surreal to look at.
>theyre bots
No dude every time I've seen it happen I checked their profiles, and only a few were private. The rest were legit
>just dont get backstabbed bro
>just dont enter the sniper sightline bro
This is correct. Git gud

and the heavy update and comic are not being worked on and never will be.
>commies
well they are retarded in every game
Doing those things help but as I said there are moments where you have to 100% rely on your team killing that spy or distracting that sniper before they get you. It's completely outside of your control and that's one of the many reasons why Heavy is the worst class

nigger if you don't care about fun just play sniper, he's a better spy. or can you not aim?

I can't aim or I would absolutely play sniper over spy. Just speaking for myself though, obviously.

the hell's your problem? now people can't criticize what others do?
captain whiteknight over here, go jump off a cliff
I said jump squared but I posted jump sync
now jump sync is hard but hopefully not hard enough to demotivate newer jumpers
all the people ITT including me deserved to be called noobs tho, you shouldnt have removed that part
Friendly reminder to show ZERO mercy to any and all friendlies that cross your path.
You can criticize what others do, and I'm criticizing you for being a faggot who tries to force his playstyle on others

>alternatively, medic with the usual optimal loadout
what would that be, please?
I feel that mocking people wasn't really all that encouraging. The reversed psychology rarely works with these kind of things.
I want to offer all the help I can, whether it is by pointing at resources, motivating newer players, or helping people that are struggling by giving direct advice.
Crossbow, medigun, ubersaw.
You can change the medigun to kritz or quickfix if you like, but proper uber is generally preferable

Are rocketjump maps that big among the community?
I didn't know, user. And I've been playing this game since 2011 though with a long pause from some months after MannCo dropped to this year

Well should I sell my tf2 items now. My backpack is worth 8 usd.
Jumping in general tends to be it's own community, you can just go into a jump sv and your thing.
>he doesn't play Soldier
The game's balanced around him, so you may as well get a feel for what it's like to play the game the way it's intended.
What would the Heavy update be called?
Yes, just like we're still getting Episode 3

What are you talking about, user?

*what if
>Are rocketjump maps that big among the community?
Well, not completely. There are a lot of rocketjumping servers, but most of them run jump_academy (which is pretty much one of the simplest maps possible). There quite a few servers dedicated to running more enthusiast tier maps, and even hardcore maps, but those aren't too populated (In europe at least).
The enthusiast jumping community isn't quite big, let's just say that you tend to come across the same names a lot.
The main "hub" for motivated jumpers is tempus.xyz , basically it hosts a bunch of good servers and they register all sorts of game demos, which is nice.
So to cut short : many tried, few stayed.
You should look up to TF2rjWeekly's 6th "beginnings" competition, it's basically made to motivate newer players to get into jumping. You can look up the last competition on their channel, it's pretty dope.

I'm surprised people still actually play it after backpack.tf collectively fucked up the value of every item, making them all worthless pixels on a screen. That's when I stopped playing and that was in 2014 I think.
user they were always worthless pixels. Speculative spending is the killer of currency

Wear it and carry on his legacy.
I only just started playing since I recently got in to PC gaming. Is there a good beginners guide anywhere? Shit like the weapon unlocks appear to me random, and craftings explanation is beyond my tiny brain.
Tosslecap and some other cosmetics are infamous to a lot of people for being the average tryhard scout's favorite cosmetics. They label those who wear them as scunts.
Weapon unlocks and crafting are all additional fluff that you should ignore until you've gotten a decent grip on everyone's stock loadouts.
Actually important things to figure out early on are config, custom hud and a bunch of settings that are superior to default.
Are there any pre-2013 weapons you've never once used?
I'm clocking in at 4k hours and never once used Liberty Launcher or Soda Pooper.
