Why is TF2 allergic to working ladders?
SANDVICH!!!!!!! NO!
>>730905021Well you see, there were some monkeys that got beaten whenever they tried to climb a ladder...
source spaghetti made ladders hard. now they just keep it like that for novelty
>>730905636Nobody had a problem with ladders in half life
>>730905636It's honestly annoying that "Source Spaghetti" became "real" because of incompetent developers these days and it not being a >Hey fuck off we're not making a bunch of incremental changes for no reasonAll applicable slapdown
TF2 has a level of polish where valve probably didn't consider it fitting to do the old "character runs in place and zooms upwards" approach that the older team fortress games used. Problem is that's basically the only way you can make ladder travel work while keeping the speed that's needed for a fast paced shooter.Compare with Left 4 Dead where there are climbable ladders and proper climbing animations but ladder climbing is much slower.
>>730905021I don't know why more maps don't use this kind of thing.
>>730910598>TF2 has a level of polishNigger we still have a laundry list of bugs from 2007 and missing character voice lines.
its a fucking 20 year old game why do you give a shit?
>tfw that SIXTY NIGGERS! comic about ladders in Valve games is scrubbed from the internet
>>730912107Still has a level of polish. Remember that the game was praised for its presentation and detail back when it released.
Custom Maps in community servers have functioning ladders its just non of the official Valve maps seem to for some reason
>>730912421iirc they implement ladders by enabling swim physics when you're touching them
Because the game is shit
