So this is pretty much the only game nobody on Yea Forums hates?

I'd rather have a small playerbase of diehard players than the hordes of retards we have now

Friendlies ruined the game
Also bring back Arena.

Lootboxes saved TF2 from death and CSGO from a very early death. That being said, Valve's older fanbase doesn't play games anymore. They're all 30-40 year olds with children.

>Lootboxes saved TF2 from death
TF2 was never dying when it was P2P you could easily find any full server for any map or gamemode you desired.

> Valve's older fanbase doesn't play games anymore
>Left 4 Dead 2 still has 10,000 players and none of them are tradefags/idlers
>Counter Strike has 10,000 and CSS has 5,000 at the time of me typing this
>T-t-they're dead TF2 would've died too just believe my revisionist history okay

the random crits and lag compensation sucks, fuck this shit game. it's my favorite fucking game though. also remove pyro. only sub-humans play pyro.

Old source games do still have playerbases, but they mostly consist of third worlders with poor hardware. Think Russians, Africans etc.

It doesn't really count.

Same with TF2 also add memespouting redditors and people who don't actually enjoy the game, only expensive cosmetic items

TF2 is an old source game. They've literally had to downgrade the graphics several times to accomodate for older hardware not being able to manage the base game + all the stupid fucking hats and effects added over the years

F2P TF2 was the best era of TF2, and I'm an oldfag. Instead of complaining about how awful things weer back then, I enjoyed it and now I have fond memories to look back on while you're still a sad, bitter old man.
