Why did you stop playing
A number of reasons. Matchmaking isn't even functional. You'll either be put into a match with a bunch of kids that don't even want to play the game, an empty server that never populates, or you'll be thrown into a match that's already over. There is no in between. That's not even getting into the fact that if there's a cheater on the other team, nobody in TF2 ever kicks them despite making such a stink about #saveTF2. Also random crits aren't funny. They fucking suck. Snipers also actively kill any and all enjoyment of the game for me.
i got game banned
>24/7 dustbowl>class wars>instant respawnyep its gaming time
>>740049319i haven't stopped yet
>>740049717There are some good matches but it's fucking crazy how the game can feel empty on 12v12 just because no one else is really doing anything
>>740050634That's another complaint of mine. TF2 players are the dumbest sons of bitches on the internet. They are legit the types of glue snorting players that will just walk into walls like retards and somehow kill themselves.
>>740049319i had to poop
>>740049319i havent tho>>740050140fellow gamer
>>740049319Its not party time. plus i need to find more images for sprays
>>740050798I never understood the obsession with being friendly, you have shit like animal crossing and harvest moon if you don’t want to kill, but instead you decide to be dead weight in a game about killing each other.
>>740049319Meet Your Match killed community servers
echoing the sentiment that the game is frustrating to play because 2/3rds of the players in a given match are functionally amoebas
>>740050957The fact that if one of these retards goes friendly, the entire server fucking follows him like lemmings. It's unreal dude.
>>740049319lost interest
>>740049319I just don’t find it fun anymore.I’ll occasionally open it up, join a game and play for a little before “not feeling it” and exiting
>>740049319a lot of gays really got attached to this game. at first it’s easy to ignore them but they begin to appear more frequent in matches
>>740049319death of community servers, people growing up and abandoning it, the general soul of the internet withering and after playing it for nearly a decade it stopped giving me the same highs I felt back in the day.Party /v/an are the only times I play TF2 these days, not really a regular.
>>740049319For many of the reasons every always post.Matchmaking killed community servers and the quality of the players playing regular matchmaking is terrible. No one talks, no one communicates, no one does anything fun or entertaining. They just walk in a straight line almost like they never played the game before.I miss being able to talk during matches. The community servers available in my region are fucking terrible, they are all just trade servers and 24/7 turbine with infinite respawn. almost no one there wants to play the actual game. I know the USA and europe have good community servers but there's no way to play in those being south american.the kind of player I am stopped playing years ago. there's no one left.
>>740049717Pretty much this.
>>740049319I got creeped out by these pubstompers>community 24/7 instant respawn 2Fort after work>pubstomper types, all talked shit; a soldier or sticky demo and his kritz medic, and his buddies who were soldier, scout, whatever best applied>kritz spamming guy hit chokepoints to rack up dominations, but was super hard to find and kill>teammates would take the troll bait and were haranguing on >sometimes it was the pubstompers one team, and catboy medic and friendlies other team, one of them fluffed the kritz soldier>I communicate on team chat they're being trolled, or it's better if focus goes on this or that guy>around a certain time they'd all got doms, so they would make an impenetrable engi nest and talk shit >I often focused captain dickhead because he'd sully my time off>I manage to make some of them mad a couple times, incredibly frustrating to play against but still a challenge>somehow they have my chat logs from hours or days ago>they were watching and recording my comms, or at least used them like evidence they 'got to me'I feel like this was a regular feature I didn't know of, but it went obnoxious to disturbing. Like they were sharing my team speak in a Discord or something. Made me question why I was there. So I played Skyrim instead.
>>740049319Played a few hundred hours, all my friends stopped playing, didn't feel like continuing to slap my dick against strangers
>>740051406party van is fucking gay you are gay
Because became f2p and the hat market
I never did
Because I played on the Xbox 360 as part of The Orange Box and the game never got a single expansion.
>>740049319>get in match>actually having fun, group isn't doing well but everyone's doing the spy spam before the match and just having fun>after a while start to notice I'm dominating pretty much the entire other team, and I'm terrible at the game>take a look>I'm the only actual player left>my team and the other team are all just bots now>join some different group>the entire other team is just bots but they're broken and don't leave the base or shoot at you when you get close>my team is just taking potshots at them I quit because of that. It became difficult to find a group that was actual players and not just bots. One or two I can deal with, but when your entire team is bots it just saps the fun right out of the game
>>740051469Servers are about the same here in the east side of the US too. Trade and other meme servers.
>>740049319Used to make me really angry and game wasnt really going anywhere at the time cuz patches are fukken slow. Took a long break and came back when there was a bunch of new shit. Good game, love me some TF2
>>740051902>I feel like this was a regular feature I didn't know of,not a regular feature but cheat tools let you see enemy and spectator team chats
>>740049319I've been playing this game since 2012...
>>740051902I mean thats on you for hanging around weird servers. Matchmaking is mostly chill regular gamers, the occasional sweaty but they usually arent an ass about it.
Felt like the game was getting more Janky as time went on.
>>740056081you are like little baby
>>740049319I never played TF2, and I feel like it may be too late for that by maybe 15 yearsI'm too intimidated by people who got thousands of hours in this game and years of experience, and how you pretty much need to spend more than 10+ years to get good at the gamePlus I suck at multiplayer games in general
>>740056470just queue up for cusual dustbowl, or 2fort nobody gives a shit if you drop out because your team is getting stomped, or whatever.
>>740049319Up to 10 minutes of downtime between rounds. One sided stomps(they are boring as shit no matter which side you're on). Friend groups pubstomping like it's a real job, sticking so close they pass as a single organism. Dead community servers(no I won't play on fucking orange or on pedo dane's).I only have fun in community MvM nowadays.
>>740056470Most TF2 players are brain dead. They could have like 3k hours and still have not progressed past the point of shooting glass in an attempt to shoot through it. The chances of finding a legitimate pubstomper are rare. You're more likely to find a cheater than a pubstomper who's just going to stomp everybody and then leave.
ugly cosmetics, furries, trannies, friendlies
>>740056719friendlies are soul to the game. But you are completely right about everything else including the community slop maps.
>>740056118nah, tf2 is filled with mental nutcasesmet a cheater who tried to (unsuccessfully) doxx me for kicking him from a match for, well, cheatingasylum escapees all over the place
>>740051071crazy how people don't remember quickplay and gun mettle killing community servers
>>740056470I started trying to get into it but I just get melted every match
>>740049319I literally just finished a match earlier on the nightThat said, fuck Tomislav shit eaters and fuck non Huntsman snipers. Actual subhuman niggers
>>740056764>friendlies are soul to the game.No they're not and they didn't exist prior to the Polycount update.
>>740049319Too many gays.
>>740049319Everyone with a brain quit after 2014
>>740057069Not true, I was doing civilian heavy shit as early as the goldrush update, and at one point valve stopped heavy from being able to continously eat the sandvich but that got patched to where you could keep eating it at full health so you could still play picnic heavy
>>740056719Friendly faggots are worse than bots
>>740057227Civilians weren't considered friendly until like way later. The stupid taunts and shit that keeps getting added are what spawned friendlies, not some dude dicking around.
>>740049717>All the same problems of pre-matchmaking TF2Makes you wonder why they even bothered
>>740057069boring ass nigga >NO STOP IT YOU NEED TO PLAY THE OBJECTIVE CONSTANTLY WAAAAA
>>740057458>Um so I'm not completely wrong, I'm going to pretend that this thing that clearly existed at a time I assumed it didn't is something else because semanticsGenuine question, how do antisocial retards like you even find TF2.I know why you have the same ritual threads all day every day and are pissed at it, but genuinely how did a retard like you tumble out of fucking, I don't know League Of Legends or some other faggot shit and end up in the TF2 scene?
>>740057569>bruh you a boring ahh diddy nigga on gawdAs expected from one of you
>>740049319Matchmaking sucks ass, and community non-meme servers are filled with tryhards, because casuals that don't know any better queue in casual mode. I miss when we had servers where the entire team was a mix of tryhard/casual, the tryhards had fun decimating the casuals, while still getting challenged by the top guys on the enemy team, and the casuals learned by being occasionally faced with the top guys while having fun fighting guys at their skill level. Even the supports could have fun by pocketing the top guys and seeing their numbers go up.
>>740057137>he missed out on the two years of quickplay at its bestI'm so sorry, anon.
I don't play everyday anymore but I still play it a few hours every month. Lately been playing it on my steam deck as gyro has kinda revived the game for me a bit.
>>740049319After a certain point I'd played so much that I decided I'd experienced everything there was worth doing with the game and it had taken up enough of my life.
>>740049319Bad Company was the superior class based shooter at the time
>>740057569>>740057620Why are you starting the game up in the first place if you're not even going to play it? Retard. Go play VRchat or something or Second Life in your case since you're probably some autistic diaper shitting furfag.
>>740057520Valve whipped up casual mode in the final month(s) leading up to Meet Your Match, and it shows. The matchmaking beta had a hard split between quickplay and competitive mode, and that would have been the best outcome in hindsight. Compfags get what they want, casualfags keep playing their game, everyone is happy.
>>740049319I accepted it was never going to be meaningfully updated again. Then the comic gave me closure.Just seemed like a good time to jump ship to Overwatch
it got really stale after 2k hoursi quit in 2015 after GM updatecame back to it in 2022, played 3 matches, got kicked like 5 times in a row by bots and quit again
>>740056883Especially the troons this game has. A recent one I met had a schizo meltdown for nearly half an hour after his apparent close friend said his fatfur tails oc spray was just tails without a 2nd tail.
>>740049319I've had my share and moved on, two thousand hours is enough for a game in permanent maintenance mode
>>740049319> only want to play community maps> my country only has like 2 decently active servers at most even on weekends> one's 2fort 24/7 I'll take 24/7 Turbine at this fucking point
>>740049319DeadlockI did boot up TF2 a few times last week for old time's sake because Yoshi doesn't know how to fix his own game. Haven't played since covid and since the early 2010s>>740057137Correct
No one plays plr_pipeline anymore
>>740049319I did not because i am a third worlder and all the servers are full here.However it does bother me that for some reason here in South America people insist in speaking english in the chat. Not only will they be typing in english but will be even making calls in the mic in english.I know its a little hypocritical to me be complaining about it in english in this english speaking site, but i wish people in my own area would speak our own language you know? Specially when they try to be funny by making reference to english memes and media. Also very few matches i see someone trying to be edgy by calling people Nigger when this word has no power really. I have no idea what goes on in their heads.
>>740049319>more than half the server browser is achievement/hat farm>matchmaking bullshit>impossible to find a decent 12v12 game with rotationall they needed to do was copy the same thing they did with day of defeat source: nothing.
>>740058116>I'll take 24/7 Turbine at this fucking pointTurbine is awful.
>>740049319I didn't.As an ex-neet, I only have time on the weekend nowadays.
I like playing Zombie Escape in Skial.
>>740049717fpbp. all valve has to do is fix matchmaking and nerf quickscopes for the game to be 10x more fun without exaggeration
>>740049319>Launch TF2>Go to Casual>Can't find any plr matches outside of hightower>End up in upward>2nd round, last point, clear pubstomp>Everyone is leaving, I try and take soldier because we have none>Our medic leaves>kk then>Lose in under a minute>Everyone disconnects>next map: pl_badwater>We are on attack>For some reason enemy has two less players, some are stuck connecting and losing connection>We stomp hard>Not even me being good or anything, they just don't have level 3 sentries>After we start defending, people on enemy team starts leaving>Our top-score demo gets auto-balanced>He leaves>9 people left after the match ends>Everyone leaves>next map: pl_pier>Just leaveI don't know, people barely talk or have fun, its like they are there out of an obligation or smth
>>740049319who says I stopped? Its still the most fun multiplayer game out there.
>>740056883>>740057998I saw like one troon in the lobby one time but thats it. It must be a regional thing, Aussie servers are pretty chill but has some extreme tryhards. Asian servers everyone's really bad at the game. American servers is full of weirdos and hack-usations I've noticed.
>>740056470Payload is the default game mode, its where almost everyone is and has a bunch of the best maps. Dustbowl is an honorable mention, its capture point. 2fort is a CTF map everyone has to spend a few hours on when they're new.
>>740049319I will be playing again come Halloween.
The people still left playing this game are genuine human garbage and it gets worse by the day
>>740057745>nigger try hard hates people having fun in a video game ok faggot
>>740049319pubstompers, 7K hours sniper and spytrannies
>>740049319i have 8,000 hoursi have played enough for a single lifetime
>>740059253Wow shocker. The Roblox player completely avoids the question.
>>740059574Yeah the furfag dipers are the tranny failed faggots with 8k hours in the game that tryhard with the obnoxious pink hats they used their mom's credit card on that call you poor despite not having a job. Being friendly occasionally is funny, if you have a problem with something that's been part of the game since it's inception either kill them or focus on the objective. Nothings stopping you, pent up faggot.
>>740059930>Doesn't deny the accusations>Continues to avoid the questionYou need to be over 18 to post here kid.
>>740060043playing the game is having fun, not winning. If it's all purely about competition to you. You really are some sad insecure speck of a human being. You are 100% pic related
>>740049319Because pic happened and killed all the soul of the game. I had 1500+ hours and stopped playing because the game wasn't fun anymore.
>>740060161>T-this is what you look like...Again, you need to be over 18 to post here kid.
>>740049319Way too much emphasis on team work. I got into CoD and the ability to solo carry yourself into a W is far more easier than TF2
>>740049319Haven't but would've if not for select community servers and what they offer.Casual by itself should've killed the game and it has in a way where it no longer retains newer players for the long term, hell even jungle inferno being the disappointment that it was also should've made things worse but do you want to know why tf2 simply couldn't kick the bucket easily?:The game is too well made for its own good for insane customization and potential for user made contents, valve would have to sabotage the game in an update to kill it but instead have given the keys to the kitchen for content creators.The youtube scene is more or less dead because the bigger figures are just recycling content that was done better ages ago by people more talented, more well spoken and more in touch with the game than anyone is now; the political degrading of the game's community alongside more and more people who just don't play the game experiencing surface level engagement continues to worsen discussion overall.Valve, and yes valve this time which I would've said TF-team usually, can keep this game from bleeding out by simply killing off casual/comp mode and putting quickplay back, this solves so many issues that it's unreal and creates easier user engagement for all levels of play where nobody will feel as though they're forced to comply with casual's dogshit design that just doesn't work with TF2's gameplay flow.Casual is the cancer that is keeping the game from being better and their decision with an MVM update highlights their out of touch reach with the game's environment, valve will do nothing as long as retarded whales pour money into forgettable content drops that nobody really even know of what's being put into.
>>740056470bruh it's a casual fragging gamejust hop on a server and play
>>740049319I didn't. I just fragged a Scout that grabbed our intel.
>>740049319I think I just played enough and slowly got bored of it in the end.
>>740050140Based sameI'm the faggot micspamming there
When Valve stopped caring, I stopped caring.
>>740049319community servers dead in OCEcasual is legitimate garbage
>>740049319I didn't, I just played Zombie Escape today and play on the party /v/an every weekend
I don't even know where to start dude.......I've been playing TF2 on and off since 2012. I spent so much time and money on this game and I used to love it so much, but I'm so.......tired......so unbelievably tired........Where to even begin? The cheaters? The fact you can't get said cheaters kicked off of matches because of parties and extremely retarded faggots? The extremely mentally ill faggots you'll run into almost every match? The fact community servers are shit? The fact that TF2's awful class design and dogshit balance has become apparent than ever? The fact sniper exists? The fact you'll never get a good match? The braindead free2play subhumans? The tryhard parties (often with cheaters) ruining and stomping servers and ruining the fun for everyone? The fact it takes at least 3 hours of cycling between servers to get anything that might, MIGHT be worth playing? The fact I keep running into matches that are just lost or already over again and again and again and again? Fuck dude, I could keep going, but the game is dead, beyond dead, Valve killed it and they let it stay bleeding in the floor out of being too butthurt they fucked up and refuse to admit to admit they made a mistake out of gay retardation.The player numbers are also noticeably dropping like flies, servers are progressively getting emptier and emptier and match finding times are getting longer and longer.I am so tired......so fucking tired........
>>740049717Fuck off console bitch. Match making retard mother fucker, just join a server and become part of the community as a regular and go to a harder server instead of always needing your fucking mummy and Daddy to coddle you into a game that you can easily win.
>>740049319I didn't. These days I almost exclusively play on Zesty's server and Castaway.tf and it's the most fun I've ever had since I joined in 2013.
>>740051971name 10 gay things about the /v/an
>death of community servers, people growing up and abandoning it, the general soul of the internet withering and after playing it for nearly a decade it stopped giving me the same highs I felt back in the day.All these points are why used-to-be-tf2fags don't usually play tf2 as often as they used to. All the friends I've made in tf2 don't even play on the community server I met them on. PEOPLE WILL grow old of the game someday, either cause of life getting in the way or playing a newer game. Tf2 began development during the era of quakes. Tf2 is about to turn 20 years old. A 20 YEAR OLD GAME!!! Yet, there's still those who play it but fuck the current retards that infest the game currently. They suck the soul and fun I have the game when I meet some raging retard and I guess that's the part of growing up.
I didn't I just play jump maps now.
