Gave it a shot back when it released since it was in the Orange Box though.

Fuck I miss fanboys

Casual mode is garbage and the only good community server I know is in a different timezone and has 0 players until midnight.
The game is still a masterpiece but it's so fucking rare to find a good match.

I stopped playing practically all pseudo-"competitive" shit 6 years back.
Dota2, TF2, everything.
It simply wasn't fun anymore.
Steam sales also got restructured in a way that made playing those games not "earn" you more games anymore.

Yeah
Scout is just too fun and eternally rewarding to play
People get so fucking mad it's unreal
.
I had a pyro main get buttmad as fuck at me cus I meatshotted him for like 160 damage, he burns me to 60 hp and then airblasts me way way up into the air, on the way down I clonk him once with the pistol and then use double jump to avoid the fall damage, he dies and I run to a med pack and live. The salt was so bad from his end their team even had enough of the bitching. Happened on the roof of Suijin bridge.

And that's just one example.

I stopped playing because I play it too much. Nearly 7k hours, I need to stop. Been going strong for 3 weeks now.

Just play scout and play it really well.

Just finished class warfare. Always a fun twist on the game.

totally disrupt the enemy team by swinging your flamethrower

you use your shotgun cause its your primary

Spy check, obviously.

>Join pub
>Team has 3 pyros
>Team still getting backstabbed left and right
Fucking this. One pyro with half a brain able to put some flames on everyone they pass makes such a difference.

Because custom servers are dead in my region and the majority of players dont even try to play the game and just fuck around. theres nothing wrong to fucking around but i actually like the competitive aspect of the game.

In a way it's good to hear nothing has changed.
Are there still way too many Snipers on 2fort?

w+m1

Not as far as I see, it's not more than 2 or 3 at the very very maximum

Different user, haven't played since 2012. Is the pyro meta still Degreaser, Axetinguisher, and the flare gun?

Spycheck, Spam scorch, Stand @ choke and reflect shit, w+m1 anyone stupid enough to get close

Because game is dead. Only bots playing. On top of that Overwatch is far better

nope, the combo got nerfed via the axetinguisher taking longer to pull out now

Fffffffags

Run into heavies with Australium Tomislavs

The meta now is Jetpack

>Overwatch is far better
factually incorrect
even with no content updates, tf2 is miles better in every regard when compared to that dogshit

F2P update was final blow before hats update.
Game now have soulless f2p community, fuck that shit.

The game did great for a few years after the F2P update.
I'd even go as far as to claim that it would have died earlier, if it hadn't gone F2P.
Be glad that it did.

Considering the whole HL3 shit and the current state of Valve, I suppose it will unfortunately take a few decades for TF3, though.

>2k
You are like a little baby.

Hats update was a fucking mistake, trade update was a fucking mistake, F2P just killed last old playerbase.
We literally live in cursed world thanks to TF2 hats update. I hated it back then and i still hate it.

The probably wasn't hats, it's the amount of them that completely change the class silhouettes that fuck with. If they kept it minimal we won't have had a problem

the older playerbase was already gone retard, it had like 5-10k players max and was dropping players hard. stop larping.
Like fucking little kids screething over stupid shit like a game they like having more players is a bad thing is the shit that triggers me the most

yeah

>like having more players is a bad thing
Yes it is, most players are retards and pursuing big numbers literally kills game for core playerbase.

Use flare gun or scorch shot to take out snipers, but then you're fucked if another pyro comes out with a shotgun.

You could also use the backburner and that jetpack to jump behind the entire enemy team during a busy battle, cover everyone in flames quickly and then w+m1 the ones who don't turn around, then jetpack away again when at half health.

You could also be the engie buddy and use the home wrecker or the reskin to destroy zappers in 1 hit and use your flame thrower to actually kill the spies.

You could also go shotgun and volcano fragment and only use the flamethrower to extinguish teammates, cause that's kinda fun sometimes.

Because of what?

Valve hates bullets

get good and pub stomp you retard. I get called a hacker frequently for Just being a heavy main with good tracking

The old playerbase didnt leave you faggot. Im still here, most of my friends are still here and I meet people all the time that started playing with the release of the orange box.
You and a few faggots that never got good and never adapted to gameplay changes bitches about the hats. Accept it, the f2p update added a bunch of new players and you could never keep up, stop blaming hats and f2p for your lack of skill, homo.

I hate you fucking new gen pubbers thinking your gods because you destroyed actual babies who just installed on their moms laptop that morning

Degreaser/Flaregun for combo kills or Flamethrower/Shotgun for being a based all rounder. If you want to be a complete asshole on defense you can go Phlog/Scorch and build up crits for free. Backburner/Detonator is fun on some maps for flanking. Melee should always be Powerjack unless you're defending a nest, in which case Homewrecker.

How blind are you? Im color blind and got no problem at all seeing the different classes.

To be completely honest with you: I enjoyed the trading more than the base game.
The hat update was a godsend.

Didn't you get a hat that practically reimbursed your purchase?
You should have traded that hat for a different game, if you hated nu-TF2 that much.

solders and demos should kill you the most. Only retards die to sniper and spies as heavy in most cases as long as you avoid their instant kills they can't dps your healthbar.
Which is don't stand in open spots snipers love to watch. spaz your back around and listen for de-cloaks.

I personally enjoy the long walks back to the front line it's relaxing.

Absolutely this. And the fact that retards on Yea Forums defend this shitty update and the shitty market practices speaks volumes for the current quality of the game.

Blame your engie for forgetting to place teleporters.

people defend it because its literally the only reason they can still play the game with actual other people and not bots. retard

The game would of died faster, though.

Why do valve just do stupid shit sometimes
The first time ever I thought valve fucked something up was the one update where they randomly deleted all of demos dps and reverted it a month later
How did that get past testing

That's what newfags believe

Non competitive low test losers should stick to bot games.
Complaining about tryhards makes you barely better.

>a pub frag movie

Play the ps3 version then faggot

The game isn't dead and has never been close to being dead.
The only things that's going to kill it is valve shutting down servers or the Economy Somehow doubling its hyperinflation

I have no idea what MGE is. Is that some TF2 shit? I quit almost a decade ago.

Imagine being a Pyro main unironically

It's just a 1v1 game mode where people train their mad scout skills.

It doesn't help that their 'revamp' of casual mode killed casual.

Casual is now an endless cycle of playing matches where the first round has one team half deprived of players, and just as new people join and the teams even out... boom. Round over. Next map. Everyone leaves again.

its 1v1 with some tweaks like overheal on spawn
if you get good at solider vs soldier its actually p fun and intense

>get hit and juggled by scorch shot
>it is now completely random whether it'll hit you a second time or not
Why is that bouncing effect even a thing?

um no thats not what happens but keep being mad
casual is bad because it does what quickplay did but slower, and more annoying

How do you extinguish with it?

I lost my server so if I don't find a server friend playing it again I wouldn't join back because I don't remember thename of the server :(

Why would you do that when literally any other arena shooter exists?

you dont need to kill anyone if half of there team keeps getting juggled in a choke with half health lol

The shit or the game?

Because tf2 is an arena shooter?

Quit after jungle inferno. Paid battlepath tickets suck.

???

I don't because I never liked it. Annoying when there are a lot of heavies and soldiers backed up by medics. Can't do anything while trying to play casually and I don't care about non-casual play.

People mostly use it to train at scout, soldier and demo. It's a "no bullshit" mode for training since you're always in a fight with no breaks.

TF2 is to checkers as arena shooters are to chess.

mge is not tf2, so clearly being good at mge means absolutely nothing. this is why you'll always be some low div retard.

Alright...

causes tf2 solider v solider combat is fun? so people play it to have fun
tf2 aircontrol still feels the best and the massive damage drop-off is brilliant
theirs a reason that even tho the game was marketed to be the biggest casual fest since the 2nd big update there was a strong competitive community for a good while until valve killed it by being lazy and halfassing the comp mode.
underneath all of that wackiness lies one of the best feeling, engaging, skill demanding arena shooters to ever exist

ironic since chess is basically class based checkers

I'm an Highlander heavy player. It was just a meme. I do side main scout though

Attached: 1558641655726.jpg (590x550, 53K)

you never played arena shooters at a high level.
knowing where to postion your medic at uber percentage, or bomin at a good time when the enemy is distracted requires 2x as much brain power than quake alone

From my days of playing TF2, I've found that Pyro is most effective when there's a competent engineer or a couple of them in the team, which is usually Defense.

Your purpose is area denial and using the flank routes to attack the enemy or dissuade them from using it by making them know you're waiting for them there, so that way, they don't have any chance at properly pushing through a chokepoint.

Also spychecking

Yeah, but that goes without saying, spies usually use flank routes to get behind the line and you're obstructing that as their natural counter.

Remember that time almost two years ago when, for 6 months straight, pyro did his maximum possible dps to everyone even slightly touched by his flame an an optimal pyro strategy was literally flailing around?

It can be an evil tactic but I always love when I see someone trying to snipe away at a sentry and I just come up from behind and airblast them right into the sentry's range.

Attached: abb.jpg (536x671, 88K)

For a quick guide
What you think Heavy should do, Do that for pyro
What you think Pyro should do, Do that for heavy

solider does all of this but more consistent and better while also being more fun.
Pyrotards literal only job is to airblast ubers, spam, and players into walls for easy kills

I suck at tf2 but still have fun with it

Pyro sucks in general, his only real use is bullying weak teams with phlog.

>flamethrowers at a sniper from across the map

I got gud by playing on instarespawn skial servers

Soldiers do the same thing. Stun people in the air to then kill them.

sph is my favorite kink

I could never get into TF2 proper but it felt like I missed out.

>tf2 aircontrol still feels the best and the massive damage drop-off is brilliant
My favorite thing about TF2 that no other shooter replicates is that you can have stretches of time where two players can see each other, they can poke at each other, they can react to each other's moves, but they can't just straight up kill each other. It makes player interactions so fun and interesting compared to other shooters.

If there's one thing everyone should have learned from TF2, it's that not every fucking game needs assault rifles. Things are more fun for everyone involved when hitscan is kept on a leash.

you should listen to the valve commentary on the old maps, they've been doing dumb shit lately but they understood good gamedesign at one point
the main reason every weapon is a rocket launcher, shotgun, gernade,revolver is because landing 1 shot does massive dmg is far more satisfying then a machine gun which lands a bunch of small damage
and they were right
the thing that drew me into comp was the meta of medic
I thought it was so cool that a player determined the flow of the game for the rest ie. uber percentages force players to reposition or push. I get what you mean from the feeling of you see a player, but theirs nothing you both can do so you semi keep an eye out for them while you do other things. Its really fucking cool and adds to fun moments

To think they could've used a small fraction of that money to release one TF2 update per year.

I think that their abandonment of the very franchise that put them on the radar and paved the way for their most popular titles is more concerning.

You mean half life, portal, or l2d right? Tf2 was never that that popular

I don't understand how people aren't tired of machine guns by now they make player interactions so fucking boring.

Also it's really tough listening to the developer commentaries today knowing that these same people turned the game into a mutilated test subject.

All the stuff about art direction is especially rough to listen to.

I play a couple matches every so often but it’s just not the same. The experience has been degrading over time as the community slowly dissipated and updates came out. The big change that fucked things was Valve matchmaking to be closer to something like Overwatch’s. Nowadays:

>Tf2 was never that that popular
It wasn't reaching Fortnite levels or anything but it was popular. Stuff like SFM also helped establish these characters and the game itself. Basically the community was the one taking the charge in getting the game out there.

Cosmetics are kinda weird for a game with nice characters when they're all over the place

Played it for too long, and the game is kinda soulless right now.

The problem with cosmetics and unlocks is that there's no money in showing restraint, so instead of customization being something that enhances the existing art it always devolves into LOLSORANDOM

My only issue with cosmetics is when Valve decided to forgo any sort of quality. That's my one issue. That first batch of cosmetics was good, nowadays some cosmetics are still good while fitting into both the world, characters and art style. Then you get all the rest. And as time goes by, all the good ideas are exhausted so all that's left is joke stuff.
Also adding green lime and pink colors. I like the joke about scunts and all but those colors are simply terrible.

Attached: 0db.png (500x593, 143K)

I rarely see scouts use those colors anymore. I more often see spys with the most flashy colors

uninstall

I like the idea of cosmetics but they didn’t draw a line in thematic quality, which they should have. They started off reasonable but nowadays you look at the banana hat and it’s obvious they said fuck it at some point. That coupled with the paint colors, which should have been more limited in spectrum (maybe even just the team palettes). But *money*

Admittedly yes. It tends to be reserved to more meme loadouts. But it's still in the game. Also the unusuals. Nowadays it seems everyone and their mother has some sort of unusual so you get these clusterfucks of effects like you're playing Overwatch.

Tiny

I usually use the gunslinger and I don't have anything else

The fact that a hat with a stupid looking particle effect can be worth as much as an entire new game will never stop being insane to me.

All of the people I met on the game stopped playing.
It just isn't the same anymore.

With the gunslinger it does work better.

I mostly just rocket jump these days. It's starting to hurt my hands though.

Agreed. Meanwhile my amazing and rareish Genuine Archimedes that came with its plush is hardly worth anything. My cat loves the stuffed toy though, it’s built extremely well and still looks good after years of cat attacks

2015 gameplay was peak TF2. Afterwards we only got loads of uncalled for nerfs to non-stock stuff, a pyro update that introduced just as many problems as it fixed and matchmaking that was a straight up downgrade to quickplay.

The fact that some people try to sell it for more than what I spend in rent is what truly baffles me.

I wish I got my hands on good TF2 merch. I'm not even a collector or anything but I just love this game too much.

I understand wanting to feel 'premium' when you literally have nothing better to spend your money on.
But TF2 unusuals are just ugly and in bad taste.

ugleh

Buy one of those wrist braces. I never used one, but a guy at work wears it while he's at computer, says it helps keeping the hand in the correct position.

Thumbnail looked like a pantyshot

To be honest, I am genuinely stumped and worried if Valve can even surpass TF2 in quality, style, and gameplay.

This is assuming they can actually count to 3, of course, and if they'll give Team Fortress 3 an actual international cast and a time-specific aesthetic, perhaps the 80's or 90's.

I've thought about this too. Maybe it's just by fanboy side speaking but I just don't see Valve, or really other dev, managing to capture TF2's gameplay or humor or characters.
It's more of a joke against stuff like Overwatch nowadays but really, what other game encourages banter like TF2? Stuff like dominations/revenge, taunts, a wide array of voice lines, all sort of weapons that encourage a more fun type of behavior.

How the fuck do you get taunt killed if you see the Heavy is right there?

The game died when the voice actors all quit.
The characters basically lost their voices.

TF2 died for me the day they killed most community servers wirh their quickplay shir and reinforced their sv_pure garbage on valve servers, the final nail in the coffin was the MYM update

>implying he isn't overhealed just as a medic leaves, or takes his side as he enters the base

Weird thing is they didn't quit. I think every single one still works. There was a cancer rumor for the Soldier VA but I believe that was disproved.

But the Heavy's taunt is not only slow, you can see coming from a mile away, and most of all doesn't even register half the time.

Well sure it was, this christmas Soldier got a tank taunt with a shitload of new unique voice lines.

It’s what happens when most of your cast was nearing retirement when the game _released_.

Also never forget that the Medic is the same actor that plays Travis Touchdown

I doubt Valve will ever do anything remarkable ever again

Not sure if Nathan confirmed it but I beleive he said he had recorded his lines for the scooter scout a long time ago. it's entirely possible they did the same with Soldier and for whatever reason, just took this long to release them.

Attached: really fucking bad bait.jpg (625x626, 33K)

The weird thing about Valve is that they seemingly simply drop new games or updates with bare minimum or no advertising whatsoever. While something like GTAV was plastered in every wall and bus all over the world, Valve maybe? makes a small youtube video about it. And that's a big maybe. When Artifact released I doubt most people even know it existed. Why would they? Only reason I knew was because of Yea Forums.

Attached: 02a.gif (245x245, 944K)

Do people still play those maps where the object is to rocket jump to dif platform areas to reach the end?

Only reason I knew Artifact existed and will always to me be remember for the "Dota Card Game? AWWWW" video. Really anytime I think of Artifact that quote plays in my head.

Bait? You silly bitch. Nothing of what I posted is bait. TF2 is awful.

Well, the reason GTA V was advertised literally everywhere was due to the fact that everyone knew, played, and recognized GTA, and Take Two Interactive knew it'd be a massive success. Perhaps they didn't anticipate it to be the best selling piece of entertainment of all time, or that GTAO would be VERY lucrative shortly after sacking the very individual who lead its development, but they have the money to waste on advertisments.

As for Valve, the average Steam user might not even play any Valve titles, maybe TF2 or DOTA since they're free to play, but not Half Life. There's this weird thing with corporations in the sense that the next title HAS to be more profitable than the previous one, but even if it makes more than twice what it cost to develop and market it, it's a failure if it didn't surpass the sales of the previous title or another title. Such is the case with RDR2 being regarded unsuccessful by shareholders.

Yeah, and I only saw that because of Yea Forums. My guess is since Valve is top dog for gaming storefront, all they need is a banner on Steam to reach millions so they don't spend anything else in marketing.
The thing is, unlike other top dogs like Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, when they do something, the mainstream media picks it up so they barely have to spend money on advertising. But if Valve does something, at most it gets a couple of articles in gaming websites.
If James Cameron said something retarded, it gets picked up in the mainstream media. If Notch says something retarded, at most one or two articles talk about it. So why isn't Valve bothering with actually marketing their games?
The Meet the Team videos were a genius way of introduction people to the game but it's no wonder it never reached Fortnite levels of player base. One barely markets itself, the other is constantly spending money to make sure it's ingrained in people's heads.

No
Because I don't want to

I completely agree and there's obviously a clear downside to heavily marketing their games like it's the next big thing and it HAS to be the biggest thing ever. Maybe GTAV took it too far, which was really absurd how far their marketing was reaching, but did you ever see Valve market their games in any way? At most they quietly release a video or a blog post or a banner on Steam. Not even a simple TV spot like any other company. A lot of gaming publishers don't bother advertising in my country and even then I still see the occasional Nintendo/PS4 ads on TV, sometimes a bus spot with a new game.

Huh, that actually sounds like a simple and effective solution. You can even have it so that after some absurd amount of metal, it adds some unusual effect. After that you keep giving it metal, giving you more options for unusuals or something. So everyone would have a sort of personal metal sink.

Hear me out here, craftable keys.
Sure, it'll fuck with the economy a bit and the hardcore unusual collectors will shit bricks, but it'll stabilize it after a while.
Like, let's say a key is made with 20 ref as sort of a gold standard. Maybe you could deconstruct it too, make 10 hats of varying value, sell them to turn a profit.
It'd bring some life to the crafting system they have, give filthy f2ps an incentive to play longer (give the masses a chance to unbox without spending their money + give themselves a defense in the inevitable lootbox court case), and make trading less of a hassle e.g; Some guy says "trading ____ for 3 keys" you know it's 60 ref (+overpay) and don't have to take a second to look up the new outlandish price for them.
Course, this is all just fantasy.

>tfw got so bored of other shooters I started playing tf2 again

All I do is mini sentry, people get so fucking mad

The issue people had with the DR was that it combo'd too well with the Ambassador.

Amby was nerfed hard, the DR nerf was just salt in the wound. All because comp MLG pro Snipers felt slighted that their niche was being tread upon.

Shit the only real complaint about the DR was Spies being able to feign multiple times in a short duration due to building gibs.

They could have just made it so that the DR couldn't pick up building gibs for cloak charge, but kept it for ammo kits. Hacksaw where a scalpel was needed.

Yeah I meant for rocletjumping.
I made some god-tier scritps and macros back then.
I still have a spy script that allows you to use the 3 keys disguise menu without bringing up the disguise kit. AND that allowed disguising as your own team too.

That means you only get ~six shots for the loose cannon and you can’t pick up ammo. I like to use the claymore instead for the bonus charge length, you can jump into the air by overcharging the loose cannon and then fly around with the tide turner charge. Plus you get full charge on every melee kill

I think the issue is that is bots. Part of the reason why this last christmas there was an increase in players were people activating dummy accounts in the hopes some generous player would give out some unusual.

It's very easy to pick up but you can get quickly overwhelmed by how many intricacies each class/weapons has. I'd say get into a few matches, don't expect to do much but learn, specially if you're matched with some pubstomper. Then a couple of videos here and there can help fill in the gaps of what each class and each weapon is capable of. The skill level can be pretty high but you'll quickly see why some people have been playing for 10 years straight.
Most of all, have fun.

They also don’t actually hire anyone with the intent of them doing a job, valve just likes to flex and say they have super experienced employees. I think all the great games they released and having a near monopoly for so long as gotten to their heads. They think they can just release shit like artifact. Don’t even get me started on how every tf2 update ruins another fun weapon either forever or until they partially revert it two years later. I almost wish they would make one last update and then stop.

Unnecessary weapon nerfs and rebalances.

Try deleting all your graphics configs and run TF2 with -autoconfig.

I was getting shit frames even with mastercomfig, I did that and my average FPS is in the 150's. It'll still drop down to 50 in some heavy scenes because TF2 is an old ass unoptimized game, but that's better than the 70-80 tops I was getting with drops down to the mid 30's.

Actually, every spray you’ve ever seen in TF2 since it’s installation is stored in a cache in TF2’s files. When you see a spray you’ve seen before, the spray is loaded from the cache, despite sprays being disabled on Valve servers.

That's cool and all but I regularly purge said cache. And I'll actually see the person apply the spray and hear the effect being applied.

stand near teammates
reflect pipes and rockets.
shoot scorch shot at the enemy team (useful when they lack a medic or med packs).
Wait a bit for that to soften them up and then go in.

Then

Run around and flame an enemy for a second or two, airblast them away when they turn to attack you. Their first instinct 9 times out of 10 will be to find a health kit.

Leave them alone and repeat this. Watch the kill feed and see like 3-4 kills suddenly. Don't assume you're a damage dealer, you're more of a support that chips the enemy team down.

Attached: 1548204739875.jpg (480x480, 47K)

If you walk into it I think it auto dets.

Learn how flame particles and airblast work (that fag sketchek put out some vids on it) by testing in tr_walkway.
Transition that into learning how to combo with flares, shotguns, detonator jumps, axtinguishes, etc.

The spray sound effect plays even if sprays are disabled

I don't know why you're so adamant that sprays are disabled when I've literally seen people apply them.

They just released a beta for a new game, too. It's another game in the DOTA universe...
Valve is really desperate for chink money. If Tyler McNigger aka Valve Shill Network is to be believed it was literally developed in only a few months, the quickest they've made anything so far. Yet they leave TF2, L4D, and HL in the dust. Anyone defending Valve at this point has brain damage.

>detonator
dude just spam and get free crits lmao

At yet again, what marketing does that get? Maybe a banner on Steam? I haven't seen it. If it wasn't for Yea Forums, I'd have no idea that thing exists.
And it is tiresome how it's always Dota related. It's a Dota card game, it's a Dota game mode, Dota 24/7.

How long has it been since you played? Detonator only does mini crits. Pitiful damage compared to the flare gun or scorch shot.

You probably shouldn't have used the quickfix in dustbowl, but we still need more medics like you

this is the biggest problem, all the stupid shit popping up and making loud sounds blasting in your face when you start up, and the ugly ass menus. I really miss the classy music and clean backgrounds with the basic source game menus.

Imagine being the only engie on 2fort defending intel

I'm the type of person who defends the team's intel no matter what. Even if it means sitting in the intel room for two-four hours as an Engineer.

I don't know why I do it. I just fucking do.

Apparently a scout bonkd in, distracted the sentries, suicided, long enough for another scout to rush up snag intel and run.
God damn I need to play on replay maps.

Valve fans have to suffer not once but twice with this shit. Does Gaben hate us? Did he actually not like the card we sent him? Did he get a paperclip on it and vowed to get his revenge?

Taking a break from it at the moment. Have been way too tilted in my last few games and I feel a bit burnt out, but yeah, I clocked in another 107 hs. of game recently.

I can't blame them, it's so stupid that I don't even get mad when they taunt after killing me with a trap

Did anyone else mistake their arms for a girl's legs as she was either stuck in something or had fallen over?

>valve gives the source to a team of autists
Within a month there would be such a shitstorm that the game would be dead. There would be a lot of in-fighting among the people in charge, they'd hate the rest of the community who will be complaining about everything. TF2 would implode.
And this without even going into how the art would go even further down the rabbit hole and the autists "mains" would get stupid buffs.

Got that right.

if all else fails i might sell my soul and learn the source engine and hack it together to lanparty with the lads or play it alone, drunk at 60

that is if we dont all die of spaceaids in 5 years

Not a killcam, but...

Attached: UHOH.png (599x387, 428K)

Just look at how many community servers got abused or died because the people in charge had a temper tantrum over some stupid shit. Or community updates that never went anywhere because of in-fighting. The people in charge would only benefit their buddies work instead of actually looking towards the rest of the community, even if the community hated it.
I get that waiting for Valve is painful but I'll take that over some inner circle of autists messing up my favorite game.

well if the server owner is a fag and does retarded shit it's his fault
i dont play on community servers a lot so i dont really care
>community updates being shitshows
that happenee because valve didnt do shit and left it all to the community jews
the way i imagined it the autists fix the game and spend the rest of the time fragging
if an important issue comes up they fix the shit but no real content updates anymore because the game would be perfect already
if that's not for you it's fine by me just dont expect to get invited to play ebin haxxed supersekrit tf2

Never press m1 and reflect every projectile for win

Believe me when I say, whatever shitshows we have nowadays with waiting for the Heavy update, matchmaking issues and the sort; it'd be nothing compared to the nuclear shitshow it'd be with community members having control. It'd be Poe's Law in action. You can't give people this amount of power and not even have them have accountability.
You think Meet your Match was bad? That's a pebble in a puddle compared to the tsunami of shit that would happen with the community getting the keys to the kingdom.

No, because the game went to shit in 2009 and Valve has systematically continued to make it worse.

I want to watch can you post link?

Just waiting on that update

Attached: file.png (357x136, 59K)

it wouldnt be random community, it would be a team of turboautists with the right idea in mind and they would do what valve's team of 17 or whatever the fuck doesnt
they could be led by someone who worked on tf2 from the start but i really doubt in valve
see factorio, its run by 20 autists and the amount of shit done is astounding

i am just drunkenly bullshitting though, wishing tf2 was as good as it once was

>a team of turboautists with the right idea in mind
That's all well and good until one of them throws a tantrum because he got dominated a couple of times.
Plus you have to take into account the entire economy behind TF2. One small change could mean tanking what actually makes TF2 money.
I want TF2 to go back to its glory days as well but that's not happening with the community in control. It's too volatile a situation. The community has control over their own servers and that's already better than just about any other modern multiplayer game.

Because it's an unrecognizable mess
and I have too big of a backlog

Funny, because TF2 is the sole reason why I even have a backlog
send help

Looks worse than in release

ABSOLUTELY HALAL

sometimes but i really suck at it

>crashing the economy with no survivors
valve doesnt give a shit and the only way they get money is people buying from the mannco store/steam market so ref prices and similar dont matter to them
i dont know how many keys get sold but they might make more money from market fees by making almost everything marketable - also fucking tradebot jews in tbe process

I quit because
>Mannconomy update and going F2P started to drown the game in ugly as fuck cosmetics, badly balanced weapons (admittedly not as bad as launch demo but still), and new players who were shit and didn't care to join any set community on it but rather pinged between servers being game ruining pricks
>Ugly aesthetics just got worse, Demoknight and other retarded weapons kept getting added that diluted the fun of the game for me, team started adding greedy and dogshit modes like MvM instead of focusing on meaningful and good content updates to the core game
>Performance slid over successive updates even while the graphics themselves got toned down, reached a point where stutters became frequent and I was getting 30% less FPS than I used to so I could no longer run it smoothly as I wanted to
>Matchmaking killed most community servers I gave a fuck about and only memeshit like 24/7 mario kart remained along with some alternate modes like surf and prop hunt, rest were either trash, so far away I couldn't get good ping, or filled to the brim with noobs with no interest in hanging around that just joined and fucked up matches by being shit/ragers before jumping to the next one

It's a shame but the game really is a shell of it's former self. To even get me interested in playing again they'd need to gut nearly every weapon added in the last seven or so years, give an option to toggle off cosmetics, improve performance, and do something for the community problem - though if I'm honest if they hit the rest of those besides the last I'd gladly open my own server and try to build a decent community on it myself, I really fucking miss old TF2.

Since the pyro update, you have all these retard iberians just picking him and W+M1nning like crazy on the point. You can't hit them because they have like 600ms ping.

Meanwhile, there is some god sniper on the enemy team who hits you no matter how erratic your movement is and who uses cl_interp olololol so he can't be hit and has a 20 meter long knife.

Why ? Why did matchmaking have to ruin this so badly?
Also the fucking downtime between matches rounds. And the downtime between matches, even when the map didn't change.
Fucking valve.

I've been seeing this all day no matter how many times I see it.

>hey, some booty
>oh, it's that tf2 thread from the morning, again

Soldiers and Demos get upset when there are other classes that can compete with them.
They already managed to get heavy nerfed to the ground - sandvich nerf, minigun damage and accuracy ramp up, made all his mobility trash as well as any tool that can help him.

Then Pyro got his update, actually got a good weapon and the flying high health class that doesn't need to aim got SEETHING and demanded NURFS

Hey Yea Forums, can you hold this for a second? :^)

probably because that class and loadout are specifically made to take advantage of f2ps on the enemy team

AESTHETIC/10

Erectin' a bump

Swap the Amby out for the Diamondback and you will become Pubstomp Supreme.

uber is cancer, needing medics to win is cancer, lack of proper matchmaking is cancer, if not for those issues I would've been playing tf2 and would love a tf3 with at least proper matchmaking

i hope they balance kunai+dr before it kills all pub tf2 forever. spy shouldn't have 500 ehp

And how exactly would you fix it, user.

Kunai only gives Spy 125HP max? DR offers zero resistances at all?

How much further are we going to nerf Spy until he gets to where Pyro was for the majority of TF2.

alternatively top scoring as any class without any cosmetics on

DR does its normal damage resist on first hit then drops to 20%, spy is no longer immune to flicker/afterburn for the first 3 seconds.
Kunai starts at 110hp and only heals 50 per kill, max hp being his initial overheal of 185.

funny, whenever I play a round that ends with nobody being able to vote, it just stays on the map I was already on.

Me too. I'm on PC btw.
