'08-10

the sniper vs spy update was where it all started going horribly awry and mannconomy was literally the death of valve as we knew it.

before they gave hats different qualities

It was also fun performing the Gamertag command exploit. For those that don't know, for some reason TF2 for the Xbox 360 stored gamertag strings as commands and executed them. That means if you named yourself "Bind Y" then entered a single player match, then changed your name to "Say "Spy!" then entered another single player match, you could literally bind chat messages that worked despite the chat not normally being accessible on the console versions. That means I could give my team an actual advantage by being able to call out Spies which you normally couldn't do. Unfortunately you were limited as to what commands you could bind do to gamertag name limits.

I still enjoy hopping into casual. It's a lot like being given a random TF2 scenario and having to figure out how to possibly win it using your understanding of the game's mechanics. You can get anything from 60 seconds to capture a point on KOTH to a fresh match of payload, and it's kind of fun to roll the dice.

Yes it does.

They need to rework him more than rebalance him. They've actually said that they don't want players to quick scope in their commentary. i think they never expected players to get that good.

Around the time the Scout Update hit

I just play a community server if I get the itch. But I get bored again after a few sessions.

Same here except I tend to find myself taking the Engie spot because I’m the only person who is able to recognize we’re going to lose without one.

Medic really does have slim pickings for cosmetics. Years ago I bought a plush Archimedes that came with a Genuine one for in-game. My cat loves that plush and it’s held up amazingly

I wouldn't mind the "matchmaking" system if it wasn't for the fact that queuing up takes way too long. And simpler modes like the Medieval mode are impossible to join because of this.

TF2 came out with the orange box back in october, 2007. I remember vanilla tf2 when there was no airblast, or hats or fucking crates. I remember when the lighting was fucking nice and heavy's gun had more detail. I had the best time of my life playing dustbowl back then.

Attached: 1488187926856.jpg (400x400, 7K)

Salty everyone. Minisentry was absurd, and a bitch tool for assholes.

early years was great a time, but past that i'd say the patch that nerfed the loch n' load around ~2015. Games been downhill with shit changes since then

This is why we need to buff Engi's Dispensers to give overheal, as well as have enemies drop small health packs upon death. It would lessen the need for every team to have a Medic if they want to win, but Medic would still be a valuable pick by virtue of how strong he is.

>i think they never expected players to get that good.
That's hilarious if a dev actually said that. It does corroborate with the downfall of Valve.

>I remember when the lighting was fucking nice

this actually really fucking pisses me off.
Junction is the ONLY map that still has the original lighting system. Every other map got gutted of it.
I don't even think its that hard to re-render the lighting.

>That's hilarious if a dev actually said that. It does corroborate with the downfall of Valve.

They had the exact same thought process to unusuals and lime paints. They didn't think everyone would get one.

>Most played
Soldier but only because of rocket jumping

>Class main you hate the most
Its a toss up between snipers and spies

It shouldn't be but with valve it's always two steps forward and four steps off a cliff. Essentially, they fucking gutted a lot of the fluff features from the older maps and textures

This is true in the case of Direct Hit Soldiers. They wreck my shit every fucking time. It's a dramatic turn of events every time a god-tier Direct Hitboats Soldier joins the other team. I go from pubstomping to getting one kill every 4 or 5 lives.

While I do agree that Construction Man needs a buff it shouldn’t be overheal which is one of Medics unique abilites

Yep. Vanilla was pure Team Fortress. Especially coming from TFC it was a huge jump in graphics and style, but maintained that core gameplay that made TFC great.

The minimum of 3 Snipers that sit in spawn. I loved the servers that would slowly slide you out or inflict tick damage just to fuck with useless potshotters' aim

You say that, user. But without medic most of the shit usually descends into autism. i.e Turtle engies.

They must have some retarded employees. Even by the 90s dev's knew that players would constantly push the limits beyond expectations.

I think they should buff dispenser with a longer heal ray, and generate metal faster when healing people or something.

I really want to see more engies use the dispenser as a team healer. it would be nice if they got something useful in return. I don't want it to be portable or a medic replacer, but its a really useful rally point.

That's impressive, it must be a little awkward to hold a conversation with two people simultaneously.

Yeah, and the sadder fact is that tf2 is only on the console orange box, or downloading the tf2 08 mod that re-enables all the old shit I think littering it just to the final update of that year

I think its more of a timer than a work thing. you can't just setup a sentry and all that instantly. So it gives the team 60 seconds to stop you.

Personally I think setup should last 30 seconds, and engineer should be able to automatically setup his gear to lvl 3. Just to shave some time waiting for the match.

the only thing TF2 has that makes it genuinely harder than OW is blast jumping and all that entails, otherwise TF2 has huge chunky hitboxes, no headshots on most guns, no abilities to stop you from doing damage and no ult economy to constantly keep in the back of your head lest you get absolutely shredded by some dude pressing Q allowing his friends to eviscerate you

meanwhile TF2 has huge deliberately chunky hitboxes, momentum to player movement, and no headshots to worry about. Not to say that there isn't a high skillcap but it's so much easier to be utterly useless in OW than it is in TF2.

Most game modes focus too much on the front line. CTF ha so many individual battles going because of the map and game mode design.

I would say CTF for me, just because it is so iconic and easier to balance. Plus I played TFC a lot and it was mostly CTF maps that most servers ran.
The Payload mode can be fun, but it is really hit or miss depending on the map.

Time to go rewatch Ignis Solus. Shit still makes me shiver this many years later.

vg must be full of furry / ponyfuckers, if I had to guess. I never go there.

if I could go back in time, I would warn everyone about the turning point that is Gun Mettle. because of that update, it started a chain of reactions to where we are now.

unless it's changed OW hitboxes are shit. I remember back in the day you could shoot someone not visiable behind a door. Not to mention in TF2 you have a lot more autonomy over whether you get hit.

All that extra shit doesn't really make the game harder. I saw this from the perspective of having playied Paladins, which has more shit and is more complex.

That's because you weren't around during the golden era of the game. So comparing 2011 to now you feel nostalgic for a game that already went to shit by the time you first started playing.

>I didn't know that video existed before you mentioned it,
Holy fuck you missed out. I think it came out like a week after the Orange Box dropped if not earlier. Never really occurred to me how ironic that someone made a machinima about empty servers and dead games for a game that had just released and thirteen years later we could still boot it up and play, albeit not exactly the same game but still a game. it sorta makes me teary-eyed watching it because I remember first watching it twelve years ago in crunchy 480p on a dial-up connection back when Youtube still let you pause and buffer an entire video at once and how carefree life was back then

director's vision taunt, obviously

It's not that he killed them. A spy using schadenfreude, no matter where he is on the map, deserves to die. It's that he did nothing after. He just kept walking forward like a bot.

Nice user, enjoy it.

What did it all mean?

Why were the community servers hidden behind like two menus.
Every stupid cunt just auto-joins randoms.

I quit and uninstalled after the third "friendly" bullshit with bumper cars (on public, because all my regulars were DEAD), where I was votekicked for slaughtering faggots and calling their strategy of standing still shit.

Ten years. All those memories washed away in a torrent of piss.

Because he's easy to kill and is never anyone's main opponent.

36.6kbps was a hard life. Combine that with Steam's early days and the constant client fuckups read: clientregistry.blob and PC gaming was a hassle for sure for those of us still on older connections. The day I got high speed to actually play shit online, I played TF2 for thirteen hours straight.

I haven't owned a physical game in years. Apart for BOTW

STAHP

TF2 Classic is already a thing, but I think it's sort of dead because IIRC the modding team split into two once they realized they were having a lot more fun with the Mercs-only deathmatch mode they added. I sort of liked the gamemode idea they had with the assassin, janitor, paper-pushers and security guards that I can't remember the name of, never got to play it though.

i want to go back

The beginning and the medic update. Everything after that was crap

this.

I liked to at least try to play them all a decent amount but as the years went on I gravitated towards Engi, I just like the power and occasional novelty of his tools and being helpful without going medic. Least favorite ended up being Sniper because of headshots, body shots, outranging my gear, and around the time I was playing the most you could expect 3+ snipers per team on some of the servers I played on.

That was really sad.

What are some good servers to shake off the rust? Matchmaking is fucking atrocious and just rotates between steamrolls.

It's a shame they never maximized on MvM that honestly could've been a really great way to experiment with new shit both in terms of weapons and also gameplay mechanics.

Most Played: Sniper
Most Hated: Honestly none, every class kills me pretty evenly when I'm playing Sniper, obviously a bonk! Scout, rocket running Soldier, bypassed all our security Pyro, Demo pill, Heavy & Medic fuck-buddies, Mini-Sentry Engi, other Snipers and not-shitstab Spies are usually bad news but it's to be expected.

Started playing a while after it went f2p so from my perspective, MvM.

Most played: Demo(Knight)
Most Hated: Pyro
literally every other class had some form of counterplay barring pyros as a demonknight, not fun

>Solider
>Scout

I played the xbox version of the game so much, it broke my disc

That is the definitive line between OGs and zoomers.

mannconomy is what started the downfall, but it was still manageable as it didn't impact community servers
it's the matchmaking that officially killed the game for me
fuck now i'm sad thinking about how much fun i used to have

To me Mann Co. killed it. But I did stay for a bit longer, then the bronies were the nail in the coffin. When bronies and furries show up, a community is dead.

The entire time community servers were the only way to play.
I don't care about hats, f2p, furries/bronies or any of that, i could still jump on one of my home servers and have hours of fun.
Now they're all dead and casual feels so artificial and unpersonal. Even the furry pound 4 seems mostly dead, so it's more or less Skial or nothing for me if i just want normal tf2.
At least comp PUGs are still around, never been super serious about it but they can be fun from time to time.

It was generally up and down until 2016. Gun Mettle was a mixed bag, it was far from a bad update though. End Of The Line was just a long chunk of time where absolutely nothing happened.

Tough Break and Meet Your Match however represent a true dark age in the games history. These are quite literally the brain children of E-Sports Autism.

Because the type of cunt demo players its very narrow: cunt wearing the converse or the baggy pants who only use sticky spam and has a dildo medic on his ass 24/7. Other classes have broad and varied types of dicks playing them at all skill levels.

Back when a key was 2.33 ref.

I liked going on trade_minecraft all crit servers and just killing everyone to grind my strange guns, dm_duel was fun, freak fortress 2 was propably the most entertaining gamemode ever, just the rush of running away from the "boss" only to lag kill you from 100 feet behind you. Immeasurable amounts of fun were had.

I feel like most people would laugh taunt after killing someone whos laugh taunting, I would

Ya'll remember when you could download skins and models for the game, like HD models and textures for TF2 and they'd work everywhere. Those were the days, I remember that one map that was an arena in the middle and 4 buildings on the side with multiple roofs for sniping and traversing, only objective being DM and trying to get from your 2 buildings to the enemy spawn since the spawns were unprotected, so you could rack up score on them, server was almost always full too, it felt so comfy. Let's not forget all the goofy videos coming out that were tf2 themed. And now ... now I don't even know. Is there any game with as much of a community anymore. Doesn't really feel like it.

When? I can only think of Sniper actually being a kiwi instead of an aussie but even that is more of a superman spoof.

It's the exact opposite, idiot. They are fun to play with, they don't fuck around, and had good comm servers.
If you prefer playing with normalfags or kids you're fucking retarded or suck shit at the game and can't handle having actual opposition on the enemy team.

Of course I like Hydro.

Hydro was peak interactive art

2014 was when i really got back into it, a lot better than when i played it in 2008 personally. was all downhill from there though.

Tough Shit and Meet Your Rage took the majority of the fun and soul that was left in the game and sacrificed it through a ritual to the fathletes.

Change my mind.

I played since launch, lol. The game was not full of kids back then. In fact most PC games weren't since most people didn't build gaming PCs for their children in the 2000s. So 07-10 TF2 was fairly populated with teenagers and young adults who wanted to play the game without retarded weapons and furry shit everywhere.

Ps3 is still vanilla. Never had a patch. Its great.

i paid for the game and still think it died around 2013-2014
still remember day1 barnblitz pubstomping everyone with the broken release tomislav

Please respond

I still see that happen today

it hasn't been downgraded, Valve just changed the lightning system at some point which affected the original released maps like 2fort.
if you think any of the newer community-created maps from 2014 onwards look bad or worse than the original maps you might be retarded. people like UEAKcrash push the mapping tools to their limit

Other than the hydro part, this is still a thing. Crouching with your weapon is still the international peace sign for "let's be friends for a moment just because". On 2fort I still find the occasional same people, although I usually don't talk much. When I do it's usually a very chill talk of just discussing something or making jokes.

I never considered maining a class back then, I had rather even play distribution. That said, I did primarily play Engineer, Scout, Spy, and Demoman.

Pyro
I'm not really sure.
No one class really gave me any particular issues.
My big problems were all player specific.

>inb4 a bunch of post-soviet slavs claim to have a high end gaming rig in the mid 2000s

Is it just me or is anyone else still rustled by the fact people at one point bought this game before f2p and all they're rewarded with was a crummy little helmet that wasn't even an unusual and a reference but a really obscure one that you'd only get if you even glanced at the concept art for the game. In a game that really became cosmetic focused you would've thought they could've been a bit more creative then that shit.

American here, my grandfather worked for an insurance company managing their databases which were basically massive mainframes back in those days, after he retired he got to take home his terminal which by this point was an old IBM PC running I think Windows 98. Anyways he gave it to me as my first PC ever and even helped me install a graphics card (it was a 2D VGA cart, forget which one it was) and me and my entire family basically obsessed over the Sims 1 and played it constantly. I miss those days. We also had an N64 but that's besides the point. PCs were a thing here back then, it's just that consoles were a much bigger thing

You okay?

The era when my favorite server was still up.

Everyone on it were bros, micspamming was allowed, it had a customized map with a workaround the owners made so they could have something similar to capture points without the gamemode causing the server to restart so quickly.

There were also ways to enter the skybox, enemy spawn (the spawns weren't build zones so you had to earn your way in there), there was a secret walkway in the glass between spawns and a secret room filled with tits.

It ended up dying when the old owners couldn't afford to run it on their own anymore, one of the community members ended up recreating the server and ran it for a while, before he couldn't keep it going anymore either. Another guy took over and started trying to milk the server for all he could, starting a pub server and rebranded everything. He then tried focusing money generated by the old server towards the pub server, rebranded the pub server as the new main server, all the admins quit because of it, all the donors refused to donate and all of the servers died.

Such a great server, it didn't deserve to die like that.

A/D maps mostly, though ~70% of the time I end up on dustbowl. Matchmaking is pretty good for a lot of maps in general really, since it prefers sending players in bulk or filling already-full servers. Even then if you go to the same maps long enough you're bound to stumble upon regulars or familiar names.

alright i'll hand it to you chief, that's both a truly abhorrent post and an exquisite shitpost. much more fun than posting wojak527846 isn't it?

You can try Open Fortress, they got deathmatch and other gamemodes for free and in open source.

The TF2C team mainly just sits in their discord saying "it's coming soon(tm)"

This time they're saying it's gonna rerelease in September. Hopefully it doesn't die again.

I normally fill, this means I mostly play Medic,Engineer,Heavy. I like playing all classes mroe or less tho.
Sniper/Spy because they normally get spam picked instead of just one-two per team.

Oh I tried it. It seemed like it would be the closest thing. Even though my disappointment was palpable, I stuck it for a year because a couple friends kept playing. At some point I couldn’t take it anymore. Actually ended up playing TF2 a bit after that.
Amazing image, user.

Doomsday. My friends and I would play that almost exclusively. I think I still have the poopy joe tshirt. We started playing on the CTF rotation at one point. Now all my friends are gone and doomsday servers are too. I want to die.

They are broken now.

TF2 was already considered to be on a downward trajectory by then.

I fucking hate how community servers, custom maps and custom gamemodes are all basically dead in all valve games and all games in general because devs don't want users to have control of their own gameplay experiences anymore and zoomers are fine with that because they don't know what they're missing

I miss playing all this amazing user created content in games like tf2 and css, but now it's almost all gone and forgotten and I can't bring it back

I have a folder full of custom tf2 maps I used to play on my favorite community servers, sometimes I load them up on a local server and walk around alone for a while and it all comes back and knowing I will never see these maps with actual players on them again makes me want to kill myself

I wish I could just forget it all and move on

csgo released and everyone moved over to that, css has like 3k players now
and csgo is all about matchmaking just like nu-tf2 so most community servers did not survive the migration

Fuck Lootboxes, fuck DRM, fuck DLC

The death of user generated content is the biggest crime of recent gaming. A game that’s pretty much a cash store can still be good/fun if someone mods it to be. Even Skyrim becomes a 10/10 thanks to mods.
