I reinstalled the game after many years. How do I find a "competitive" or "serious" server where people are trying to win and not just fucking around ?
Also TF2 thread

Stop queueing to 2fort if you want serious gameplay

Hello oldfag welcome back

don't play ctf or plr

is serious ctf game exist?

You cant. Any server you play has a 95% chance of the teams being made up of potted plants that were set in front of a keyboard. And the only ones that play the awful in game competitive mode are so devoted to the game that they just run a train of you.

community servers that were competitive with 32 players are dead

hope you like playing with the zoomiest of zoom

seen over 5 players run the wrong way out of my teleporters and do a lap like it's nascar

I played 2fort with a bunch of zoomers yesterday they refused to play offense and sat in the base all game till I scored the intel single handedly twice

It all depends OP. Do you know all the maps? If so, you're probably going to find the casual maps occasionally lackluster.
I've been playing since 09. Just recently got back into it like you. I'm finding payload games are usually one sided.
As far as community servers, I don't have a fucking clue. The last one I was on was a furry server where the players just whined about their social anxieties.

casual is usually pretty one-sided unless you queue for snakewater/process/sunshine, and other maps that the 6s_gang plays (aka CP). If you want a community server, there's this one called the furry pound, yes it is furry, and yes it is super gay, but they're usually all good at the game.

I have heard of this one server called oprah's that do 32 player pl maps. mostly full of EU players tho

>it's another thrown onto a team full of default steam avatars & names like "juliovasquez22" while the other team is full of oldfags who stomp us every round episode

>valve removes autobalance
>most games become steam rolls because all the good players are on one team
who could have seen this coming.

Oprah's is pretty chill
All of the regulars there know eachother

you dont
>casual is filled with retards and groups of 6 people stomping the other team
>community servers are full with autists who want to play tf2 like its fucking second life or people who want to play everything but tf2 or trade their retardedly overpriced hats and shit, though sometimes there are servers thats about playing the fucking game but are passworded or have 2 people with 22 bots playing
>the official """""competitive""""" mode is dead because of the $5 ticket and retarded decisions like forcing dx9 when the game runs like ass and not allowing you to turn off viewmodels and shit or the fact that if one person crashes or disconnects, everyone will have wasted their time in that game because no one gets experience for their rank

i hate what tf2's turned into, it used to be fun but its just a husk of its former self with a """team""" who doesnt give a shit about the game unless theres an economy breaking bug that will affect how much money the game makes

They got competitive somewhat right in CS:GO, but couldn't do the same for TF2. What the fuck, why? The TF team really couldn't borrow one or two guys from the CS team?

>tfw you want to make your hella epic better than valve dream tf2 mod but your programming is still codelet-tier
h-haha

you're already qualified to work at valve at that point

>forcing dx9 when the game runs like ass
I thought TF2 ran on DX9 by default because it came out back in 2007. Or was it DX8?

lel
i have no experience with source and i'm still doing entry-level c++/c# right now
i know there's shit like tf2v out there that i could try experimenting with to learn a bit about the inner workings of the game

it does run on dx9 by default but because the game runs like total dogshit nowadays thanks to the constant additions of bullshit cosmetics that look like trash and lack of optimization, people go to dx8 so they can actually play the game with a half decent framerate

and of course because the tf team is brain damaged, they thought forcing a dx9 limitation would make everything more equal for some fucking reason but instead caused more issues like the server auto kicking you for taking to long to load in because its switching dx levels mid-loading screen or the game just flat out crashing

they still havent removed the restriction even though the fucking update that added an official competitive mode came out 3 years ago

queue for CP maps like snakewater, process, granary, sunshine, gullywash,
