I miss it.
No one cares. Game sucks cock and always has.
wrong ^
>>740599985>No one caresthank you for the clarification that your opinions on this matter are irrelevant
>>740599837just play it then?
>>740599837Anon I'm here to inform you that the game is still on Steam.You can actually even download it right now and play it.
>>740599837Im confused, is it going away??
>>740601151>you can still fuck your wife's corpse so is she really dead?
>>740599837Then play it retard. I did yesterday and it's still fun, as long as a fag isn't using wrangler rescue ranger or some gay lord sniper isn't shitting things up, but that's what spy is for
>>740599837It's still there and pretty goodhyperfixated on rocket jumping a while back, and now I can finally beat all the medium jump academy maps
>>740600261he's right though, nobody hates TF2 more than people who played 4000 hours of it and still reinstall every summer like a battered wife returning to dustbowl
>>740601340What a retarded comparison. No wonder you "miss" a game that still exists
>>740601448>he:x
You can still play it right now and be reminded of why casual and former major updates proves that the cs:goification of the game is what truly sowed the seeds that continue to kill this game to this date.The community is full of newfags or tourists that fuck off after a year or two and the culture is dogshit, the game should've died with jungle inferno but unfortunately when you've made a game too good for its own right then you don't really need to do anything to rock the boat.Topics of relevance becoming petty political debates of niggery is what truly pisses me off and hope each eceleb gets the axe they deserve, all of them.
>>740601552>dude why do you miss when your grandad wasn't bedridden with cancer on top of no longer being the happy, active man he used to be? He still exists!
play TF2Classified.
>>740601776You just grew up, anon. The game isn't for you anymore.
>>740599837Then play it
>>740602130>shillspeakGrim.
>>740601340>>740601776a game is not a person, retardit's a toy, just pick it up
>>740602278Corpospeak is the only way to talk to a subhuman that can only speak in buzzwords
I miss Artifact.Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
>AIIIIIEEE TF2 IS #DEAD>WE NEED TO #SAVETF2!!!>THEY NEED TO UPDATE THE GAME FOR REAL OLDFAGS LIKE ME AND REMOVE SNIPER AND VALVE NEEDS TO REPLACE MATCHMAKING WITH FORCE TO LIKE ME AND BE MY FRIEND AND PLAY MY SERVER>I TOTALLY HAVEN'T BEEN MAKING THE SAME THREADS FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS WHEN VALVE STOPPED UPDATING THE GAME FOR MY FAVORITE YOUTUBER UNCLE ZESTY
>>740601448>nobody hates TF2 more than people who played 4000 hours of itif I were a post-MyM tourist, I would hate the game tooI can't blame that kind of people however, because the default way to play the game (casual mm) is antithesis to how tf2 is meant to be played
>>740602190ok>queue for the same 5 most popular maps (choosing anything else guarantees a longer wait time)>don't invite friends, because it will increase queue times if they do (not like they'd want to play this dogshit game in 2026 anyways)>nobody chats, and if they do its some faggot/furry/tranny ERPing in the text chat>game ends in 5 minutes due to a stomp>all the fun weapons were nerfed due to compfagsi guess I'll go play community servers>they're all dead
You can still play it
>>740601352If the engie's got wrangler then he can get to a spot that shuts spy out. Snipers also have razorback and can keep scope time to a minimum so they're watching their back.
>>740602679>I totally have real friends but like, we won't play on our own server or a community for reasons TM>Matchmaking is like, bad or something, the thousands of other people playing it are lying or bots>It's like anti friend have too and deletes items from your backpack if you queue up with 6 people>Valve has to force people to play with me
>>740599837
>>740599837>/v/ thinks the game is ruined ever since they added the match maker because this board refuses to use the traditional server browser
>>740599837go edit team fortress 2 characters into memes, we don't have enough of them yet
>Guys pleasee come back to my game so I can get my epic soldier/sniper frags for my youtube channel! This game is my life I need to make pootis pow jokes and sandvich until I'm in a nursing home!>VALVE PLEASE COME BACK AND TOUCH YOUR OLD ABANDONED GAME SO I CAN SHOOT ROCKETS AT THE FEET OF CLUELESS BRAZILIANS AND BRONIES FOREVER GABE STOP BEING LAZY UNCLE DANE SAID SO!!!
>>740602843All of this but without a single hint of irony.
uh ohmeltie
>>740602902No dude, didn't you know, it's buried in a secret menu you can't get to and not literally on the same page as matchmaking.It has literally nothing to do with me being an unbearable cunt to be around that my server is empty, Valve is running a conspiracy to make sure I have no friends, and they need to pay me.
Even the freaks are abandoning their walled off community servers. It's over.
>>740599837live service online multiplayer slop but quirky enough that redditors will play it
>>740599837Nah they never fixed Soldier and Demoman being overporwered as fuck while Pyro and Spy are useless.
>>740603107Its amazing how much leftist discourse is them pretending to not understand how things work, thus making discourse impossible.
>>740603107yeah let me just @everyone in my discord pedophile cabal before I can play a normal tf2 game
>>740599837i miss being 18-25 and the internet being majority white and male more
>>740603545Because messaging your friends to play a game of TF2 on your server is not at all what people ever did all us true oldfags know that it was done through the button on the main menu.
>>740603779You had 23 friends available at all hours of the day willing to play TF2 with you?
>>740602130kill yourself, shlomo.
>>740604036no ecelebs
>>740602403>>740602887>>740603052>>740603156>>740602843>catastrophic mental collapseFuckin hell, did the bots getting castrated mindbreal you this hard?
>>740604036You may not like it, but this is what peak TF2 correctness performance looks like
>>740603779sure, let me just invite all of my 100 friends, every one of which still cares about tf2 and ready to play tf2 whenever, on my personal community server people still play on, because community servers have totally not been on a downward trend at all since 2017
>>740604121You're trespassed from valve HQ Tyler don't ever go back.
>>740603913>Friends are someone who will drop literally everything they're doing to amuse you, specifically>Also I consider 23 friends on steam to be an unreasonably lofty and unattainable goal>Wtf is a steam group
>>740602114I wish I could go back to the first month of it, before the usual suspects got sand in their vagina and ruined everything as usual
Play the Xbox 360 version
>>740604221>esl babblesorry one your friends killed xirselves
>>740604190Nigger if you're a regular user the idea of a community server's business performance shouldn't even occur to you.Message your friendsAsk them if they want to playAnd throw up a server from the menu in game.You want to play a game not solicit payments from people you faggot
>>740603779my friends are normalfags and they have moved on
the oldfag way of finding matches was joining a bunch of steam groups of varying titles such as steme de la meme or 本格的ガチムチパンツレスリング, joining their matches in progress, then start blasting out friend requests blindly to people who play the game well or just often, and from then on just using your friends list to join into matches already in progress, because literally everyone had this fucking game in their inventory and was regularly working on putting between 420-69,088 hours into it at the time.
Guys if you don't think this matchmaking system is good then you just have rose tinted goggles!
>open servers tab>scroll until I find a good one>join
so what's the qrd on this retard crying about community servers?
Is the serverblight real?
>>740604232>dodging the questionMost of my friends don't like TF2. Am I just supposed to play with bots?
>>740604276the best thing about tf2classified is it filters out undesirables such as yourself
>>740604478Name 1.
>>740604478>scroll until I find a good oneWHERE?>>740604537>over 90% of the playerbase dropped"We did it Patrick, we owned the chuds!!!"
TF2 Vintage exists for you. No, not Classified, that's hardly classic. Vintage. Convars to replicate the game's settings and balance at every single point in time up to the Blue Moon update.Nobody plays it because nobody really cares all that much about replicating TF2 at specific points in time. Even vanilla servers are incredibly niche outside of Casual matchmaking, let alone older editions of the game. I am turbo-nostalgic for the old trading system pre-Steam integration that actually fucking worked and had a live trading window, and was built upon the skeleton of the drag-and-drop crafting menu. Those are the ONLY features I miss from older editions of TF2. Not a lot has actually changed since the Engineer Update as far as classes, probably the biggest one was Spy's speed getting upped to Medic's.
>>740604592tiny kitty's girl pound
>>740604532I'm not obligated to "answer the question" like some AI slop chatbot, even though that post does.
>community server outside of the Skialtopia ecosystem gets popular>""mysteriously"" becomes the target of weekly DDoS attacks until it loses all momentum>>740604785I used to play on a shitty toaster back then, the moment the old trade window got replaced with the laggy Steam one, I was pissed
>>740602114servers died in my region. I just modded their new nice looking particles into TF2 and pretend I'm playing Classic
The teams might as well be bots. There are so many games where it's only 3 or 4 players doing anything.
>>740604560holy victim complex
>>740604923Now there's a thinker.
>>740599837you can play it right now
>>740604923I'm STILL pissed that the trading window got replaced with a way worse version, let alone the crafting system being completely lobotomized for no reason. It could've just been a recipe guide off to the side for the existing menu and not four cluttered pages of recipes that prevents any possibility of word-of-mouth existing for custom crafting recipes. Turning a Batter's Helmet into a Bonk Helm was magical.
>>740605121>I like it when my game is a wiki game!!!!!cringe
>>740605121>>740604785try this https://store.steampowered.com/app/2816590
>>740599837It is quite literally still there.
>>740605674>hat recipes and some extremely specific weapon recipes make it a wiki game
>>740604480The qrd is you're equivocating community servers as a concept with some arbitrary community you in particular feel affiliated with. A conclusion you could only come to if you're part of the same mentally ill clique of retards with a singular incorrect interpretation of>You are an annoying faggot that people don't want to play the game withas>I hate user servers
>>740605923>undocumented "thousands of items" crafting systems aren't wiki-shitunmitigated retardation
>>740606469>"thousands of items"I think you're wildly overestimating how many unique recipes TF2 actually had and has
>>740606509Recipe count is mostly irrelevant in an undocumented crafting system, it's how big the search space is to find valid recipes that's the actual problem
>>740604537NTA, our opinions being the same does not excuse the actual bloody miscarriage that was the TF2C rebrand and steam launch. It was NOT ready and they FORCED IT OUT, and THEY KNEW. They thought their fanbase would “grit and bear” it because it was the promise of engine fixes in the original mod that WERE ABSENT from the re-issue, which is STUPID and SELF IMPORTANT. They did it to their fans and THEY SHOULD NOT BE SHOCKED they cannot do the same things as VALVE because they have accumulated only 5 years of good will and not well over a decade, with no development team actually making additions worth giving a shit about. You know the old adage about being brave and stupid? That was suicidal.
>>740606178anyone who isn't the schizo with a chip on his shoulder have a qrd?
>>740606591Well TF2's crafting system is more of a context and logic puzzle, most weapon recipes make total sense when you're aware of the system and you're after a specific end-result. Boils down to two camps, "recipe based on visual appearance" and "recipe based on desired effects," take the following four Scout recipes:>Soda Popper = 1 Reclaimed Metal, 1 Bonk, 1 Force-a-Nature (visual appearance)>Atomizer = 1 Reclaimed Metal, 1 Bonk, 1 Sandman (visual appearance)>Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol = 1 Reclaimed Metal, 1 Mad Milk, 1 Winger (resultant effects)>Boston Basher = Sandman + Tribalman's Shiv (resultant effects)So there's two obvious thoroughlines where getting items that have Bonk somewhere on them requires Bonk cans, and two obvious thoroughlines where to get a self-healing pistol you'll use Mad Milk and a craftable pistol, and to get a bleed bat you'll use a craftable bat and another class's bleed weapon.There's still dumb stuff like a Fan o' War being a scrap metal and a Mad Milk or a Flying Guillotine being a Reclaimed and three Mad Milks, though. There's as many later recipes that don't have any kind of internal logic or any consistency of metal value assigned. You can definitely just feel out recipes, and it's how most or all of these recipes were found before they gave up on the trading and crafting systems and integrated trading into Steam.
>>740604276
>>740604276I'd love to know where all this mythical "hate speech and whateveraphobia" that they bitch about all the time, is actually happening in, because every server I see is dead silent all the time
>>740606931>Let me just out that I AM part of this clique of retards by trying to pretend this incorrect conclusion is totally valid>Can someone from the retard group say schizo about 4 more times, I think it might get reality to changeThis isn't /vg/ stupid
>>740606931The whole reason why tens of thousands of tf2 players dont want to play on community servers is because of you (yes, YOU, anonymous of the 4th chan)
>>740602114I don't like it. The new weapons aren't good and the new gamemodes aren't good. Nothing new about that game isn't good. The most fun I had was when it felt like vanilla tf2. There's a reason why valve removed the features they brought back for the launch.
>>740602593Same thing happens with retarded CS2 newfags, they have absolutely no fucking idea what playing on a community server is. All they care about is muh elo and compeetievtiv.
>>740604036I hate this retard and all other compfags so much.
>>740599985overtranny post
>>740608112Between both Classic and Classified I was struck by how absolutely fucking dogshit Civilian is as a mechanic and a gamemode, there is a VERY good reason they dropped that in favor of Payload and Payload RaceI'm going to defend the Hunting Revolver to the death because that's a great alternative to the Huntsman as a medium-range weapon, but everything else is crap I agree
>>740608510The hunting revolver is very fun to use, if I gave a shit about weapon balance I'd say it's overpowered, however I don't care.
Why the fuck did they go for sixes instead of highlander when chasing competitive status? Is valve retarded? (yes)You could add some gay Overwatch like system that lets you lock the class even before searching for a match and be done with it.
>>740609308Both comp formats are retarded.6v6 ensures most classes aren't playedHighlander directly runs into the issue that TF2 is literally designed around the fact that there's multiple of a class running around.
>>740609308highlander is harder to organize, not just because 9v9 is harder to organize than a 6v6, but also because you also have to find a player for each class for each team. imagine overwatch's role queue but there's 9 roles to fill. how many people do you think want to main pyro or spy in a gamemode where you'll always have to face competent players?
>>740609721>how many people do you think want to main pyro or spyThere's always 4 spies in my team whenever I play casual or community servers, they're always useless regardless of skill level so doesn't matter.
>>740599837Me too, I spent thousands of hours on deathrun and jailbreak servers. Time I will never get back but wouldn't trade it away for anything, I quit TF2 years ago because after meet your match it's become unplayable.
october 2007 was the last time video games were good, let that sink in
>>740609913>jailbreakThat's so fucking gay.I hated so much when people voted that instead of vsh
>>740609701Designed around the fact that Spy, Sniper and Scout can be shit picks based on current game context or the map type too
>>740609992You just had to find the actually fun servers, even jailbreak is dogshit now.
>>740599837Anyone that was playing this in The Orange Box days still hung up on it? I played it from late 2007 to F2P update and I pretty much had my fill, I don't want to replay it especially when I see what it turned into.
>>740610147Back when I had my xbox 360 I played the shit out of it on orange box, no hats and having the OG bugs amongst other things was so much more fun than the PC version. I wonder if the servers are still up.
>>740610147Virtually anyone whining about "old TF2" is guaranteed to be a newfag.It's been this way since April of 2010.
>>740610147Surprisingly yes. I occasionally play on castaway and there's a good number of people who have been playing since before the f2p update.
>>740610253It's been this way since it went F2P*Back when the poors couldn't play it, the game was fine.
>>740604785If you want to play the game before it was Brony Fortress this is your only option
>>740610348Q.E.D.
>>740599837you had to be there
>>740610417this is the best collection i've ever owned, playing tf2 multiplayer on my xbox just blew me away
>>740610417>3 brand-new and innovative AAA games (and 2 more older games) for the price of 1Reminder that we will NEVER get a deal as good as this ever again.
>>740610246>>740610417>Every sniper ever taunted you on the battlements of 2fort.>Soldier and Demo had way more reserve ammo.>Engies couldn't move buildings but they sure as shit would build in intel all the time on 2fort.>Spy wasn't totally useless.>Plus the old revolver reload animation.>No annoying unlocks or hats>People actually wanted to play the objective rather than fragshart all the time.>OG maps only>No fartblast>12v12 always.
>>740603227It truly is tragic to see, those die-hard pervert autist servers were some of the last bastions of old TF2. Nowadays you hardly even ever see non-vanilla maps in most rotations.
>>740611054>Plus the old revolver reload animation.There was a video by crowbcat that showcased all the downgrades made, never understood why they did this.
>open servers tan>sort by number of players>look for servers that have 64 or 100 slots>join the one that's 1-2 players away from being full>have funGames like TF2 are more fun with large servers. Nothing funnier than seeing a tiny alley being blasted by 200 grenades, rockets, 100 arrows and an ungodly amount of bullets like it's UkraineEvery time I play casual I get reminded how boring 12v12 is.
>>740603156uncle dane killed tf2 btw
>>740611347>never understood why they did thistf2 did not have the autoreload on launch, the old animation made sense in that context
>>740611347>never understood why they did thisThe weapon viewmodels were downgraded to accommodate weapon skins.
>>740611413Never understood why this guy seethed so much at random crits, back in the day if I didn't want to play with them I just chose a server with a nocrits cvar.
>>740611347Tryhards not liking how the gun is moved to cover the screen (even though they would be the sort to disable weapon viewmodels to begin with). I also remember when that change was first made seeing tf2fags going on about how much more "professional" they thought it looked.
>>740611790It was for optimization and if you knew even basic shit about modeling you'd know why what you're saying is totally retarded.
>>740611938Other people were still playing with them. He wanted to force his choices on the player base to "bridge the gap" and convince pablogonzalas2008 to start playing 6s.This was peak Smash bros eSports hype so he must of thought he'd get Smashtuber money out of it.
>>740599837It's still there
>>740612063The TF2 devs said it was for optimization, that was pretty blatantly not the case since it did jack fucking shit for performance. Ballooning polycounts for hats and the failure to include any low LoD models for many hats was the biggest performance hog; I think it was one of those treasure chest octopus summer hats that had more polys than entire launch-era maps.
>>740611938He's one of the millions of mealy-mouthed idiots that thinks "the game in general" trickles down from its competitive scene while actively ignoring the 99.99% of the game in general that shits all over his argument.
>>740612249>Uncle Dane kills TF2>Uncle Dane leaks DeadlockIf we were in 2004 Gayben would've droned his house.
>>740611938Wanted a hot topic to make a video about, that was it. Demonstrably it worked.
>>740612063>optimizationInstalling a mod that restores the old viewmodels does not impact performance in the slightest. >if you knew even basic shit about modeling you'd know why what you're saying is totally retarded.That's funny, because anyone who knows basic shit about modeling would know that TF2 had weapon models for the first-person perspective that were higher quality but had things that weren't seen by the camera missing, and lower quality models for the third-person view. Coincidentally, the first-person viewmodels were given the exact same models as the third-person ones around the exact same time they added weapon skins to the game because its easier to make a weapon skin for 1 model than 2.
>>740602593>>740602679>he doesn't know ngmi I'll enjoy playing my community server every so often for open mic night and shitposting. what's preventing you miserable faggots from opening (you)r own /v/ server? Is there no unifying force? Valve doesn't care if you say nigger, faggot, or tranny. Usecase for not taking over a dead server or hosting your own?
Just give me an enjoyable game.
>>740612265You know the sad thing is you could take the freebie that warpaints and weapon skins DO actually incur severe performance issues.Or issues like the Dragon's Fury firing off like 1000 particles every time it's fired, but because you're an idiot and have an aislop tier understanding of TF2 you're whining about a hat that only about 300 of which exist in the game.
>>740612649I do play on a server, but its not regularly populated and the people who play there are very skilled at the game so my less-skilled friends don't want to play.
>>740612756>whining about a hat that only about 300 of which exist in the game.Yeah if he wants to complain about cosmetics he should complain about that retarded scout cosmetic that gives him a fake torso.
>>740612649>what's preventing you miserable faggots from opening (you)r own /v/ server?No one playing on it.
>>740599837The game pulls in more players than Marathon, it never went away. Just play on a community server to avoid the bots.
>>740612759>and the people who play there are very skilled at the game so my less-skilled friends don't want to play.does it even matter? TF2 isn't compfag garbage, its a team effort, even a newbie playing as a medic can help push without needing serious skill other then helping ubercharge and heal people.
>>740612878>pay 4 dollars to take scout's hat offhow does gaben get away with this? any other company doing this would get ass blasted
>>740612756>"aislop tier understanding of TF2">completely ignores actual performance problems related to hats to moan about much later issues
>>740612972But then get fucking bored of the game because they're playing medic.
>>740613051They played Medic once so they have to play Medic forever?
>>740611938Bitch nigga had to sleep on the bed he made (pushing for matchmaking) so now nobody's opening servers because only a handful survive after server browser is pretty much dead
>>740613135It was your got to do deal with the problem that they get destroyed if they try fighting.
>>740613197They also won't get better if they never start fighting, and even Medics have to fight. Even monkeys understand that. That post didn't seem to suggest helping as Medic in any further sense than you have to start SOMEWHERE in TF2 and that it's not a personal failing if you get mogged, because this is a game designed around cooperation.
>>740612649>play on Samwiz1's server all the time>Suddenly gets attacked non-stop by DDoS'ers for a month>server is now dead as fuck outside of 2 hours a weekHaven't been able to find a server of shitposters since, I just want to listen to nonsense while everyone plays stupid maps for fun
>>740599837Can't believe it got removed from SteamDamn you GABEEEEEEEEN!!!
>>740611938>server browser era/Quickplay era TF2 encouraged players to play on community servers>a lot of said community servers had random crits turned off>uncle dane shills and defends a competitive-lite matchmaker>said matchmaker killed off community servers with crits turned off>said matchmaker that has random crits always onBravo, Dane!
>>740613294Medic is a pretty bad place to start honestly. It gives a pretty boring first impression.>They also won't get better if they never start fightingAnd then have to deal with the learning curve of the game having so many skilled players playing, the problem being pointed out to begin with. There are literally people who have said they can't get into the game because of this.
>>740607041None of this shit should even be there. I want to use a weapon. I should have access to it. Fuck unlocks in a two decade old game, something like 15 years ago I trashed my sandwich and coming back now I can't get it unless I go through the steam trading hub or pray it's made out of scrap metal, six keys and a thoroughly chewed piece of bubble gum.
>>740613046>You dare say I have an AIslop tier understanding of TF2?>How could you forget the actual performance problems in TF2 in 2011 when a server had all 300 owners of the houwar all playing on the same server at the same time>My very real intel integrated graphics shat a hundred bricks because of this!

>>740599837The trick is muting voice chat and just sucking up the fact you'll have to be text only.
>>740613491>There are literally people who have said they can't get into the game because of this.They're literally morons, almost everyone in Casual matchmaking is just as clueless as they are, and getting bodied by one to six pubstompers in the enemy team is a phenomenon as old as TF2 itself. There isn't any greater barrier of entry to TF2 than there was in 2007.
>>740613361damn, makes me wonder how /mlp/'s server survived 15.ai shutting it down wordlessly w/o sharing server files, then went back up, apparently nobody's taken the time to ddos it, but to be fair it isn't online 24/7, just on fridays and saturdays it has a decent pop.
>>740613567boy you really don't want to talk about hat LODs
I quit TF2 in 2009i had good times but all the changes they were making were fucking stupid
>>740613489Crits are based. They are a skill based system since more damage=more crits. Crits are your reward for dishing out as much dps as possible. Disabling classes, crits, or weapons is gay. That’s like only playing final destination no items lame shit in smash. SO CRINGE
>>740613645>almost everyone in Casual matchmaking is just as clueless as they areI think your frame of reference is out of whack. They're clueless, relative to yourself. Average skill now is definitely better than it was back in 2007. That's just common sense. Not to mention far less shit to keep track of.
>>740613831>They are a skill based system since more damage=more crits.This is an anti-crit talking point. Crits are purely randomized and are the perfect way TF2 balances matches by giving even the worst player ever the ability to land a multi kill or turn the tables. And this is why TF2's gameplay is perfect and random crits are good.
>>740613603>Apparently that's what he actually believes.Because it's completely unreasonable to come to the conclusion that after nearly 10 years of ritual posting your chronic inability to play a game with your "friends" it's completely unreasonable to assume that this is self inflicted.
>>740613603The gigachad is the one saying those things, unironically though.
>>740614042crits are not actually purely random, high damage output rewards you with a higher chance for crits
>>740602114I would if the 2020 playerbase stuck around.
>>740611391>Games like TF2 are more fun with large servers. Nothing funnier than seeing a tiny alley being blasted by 200 grenades, rockets, 100 arrows and an ungodly amount of bulletsYou are like those subhuman retards who never left Operation Metro and it's lookalikes in nuBattlefields.
>>740613902I want to live in your shining reality where the only new or low-skill players that exist are a hypothetical friend getting into it for the first time.
>>740614612Operation Metro servers were okay until bitch ass admins started banning any fun things like launchers, grenades, shotguns, glock 18s. Sure why not ban all weapons while at it.
>>740612649what part of>if I werein the post you've replied to did you not understand? you can stop projecting any time
>>740614763>Operation Metro servers were okayNo, they were never "okay". That dogshit map is what perfectly describes nuBattlefield and everything wrong with it. Mindless shooting into as few lanes on a map as possible and watching number/bar go up, not actually playing the game.
>>740613721Samwiz1 stupid server used to be one of those ones that almost always had 20+ players for a good 8 hours a day at least, even if half of that time was being stuck on bigcity. Sadly it got fucked hard, and the one main admin is a fucking retard who doesn't understand that putting an aggressive filter over joining doesn't stop DDoS'ing
>>740615004Battlefield is just a copy and pasted CoD but with 2-5 vehicles thrown to spice things up. Squad and Arma are the real combined arms games.
>>740615127I hate newfags so much it's unreal
>>740615004>>740615127>>740615186War Thunder's infantry update will turn it into the Real Combined Arms video game. We got jets, helis, tanks, ships and infantry + fpv drones for the future.
>>740614376Tell me oh dear schizo who has a complete mental breakdown every single thread about how evil and horrible community servers were, why tf2 did t have valve servers at launch? Why did we not get masses of bots until after holy matchmaking was added?(Botwaves were a thing on day one)
>>740601352>but that's what spy is forthe average tranny sniper main is literally using ESP
>>740615371>War Thunder's infantry update
>>740615471Kinda making his point if you're just straight up ignoring what he's saying to complain about bots which have been gone for 3 years like that has anything to do with you not being able to get dudes to join your server.Or like, that Matchmaking was being attacked by bots for years and still you don't have anyone playing on your server.
>>740614376>valve didn't make MyM to chase the esports craze like advertised>they actually did it because randos on community servers were being annoying>ESPECIALLY randos from /v/Lovely schizophrenia.
Nobody actually likes playing TF2. They just like the reddit memes and gmod videos
>>740599837It's literally still online and loaded with players, anon.
>>740616027I liked the balloon race map, it made the game fun.
>>740615879That's not what that post said at all.
>>740612372Uncle Dane leaked deadlock?
The competitive update ruined it
>>740599837You miss late 2000s/early 2010s culture.
>>740616105https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AabbTWQHy8
Just put the 45 minute map timer back in casual. If Valve's still going to be a lazy piece of shit, that's the least they can do. It would ensure you can play degroot keep without the server reset happening a couple minutes after you join.
>>740616364Nah he didn't leak it he just streamed it to people who weren't in the playtest.
I have some really old crates, should I sell them on backpack tf?
>>740614657You're lacking nuance. It's them being the only one on the server but that generally the average player has been playing for a long time at this point.Again, we've literally had people say they can't get get into the game because of this.
>>740615471Point anywhere in any of my posts where I said community servers as a whole are bad.Equivocating your specific server as community servers altogether means you're admitting I didn't since you're making a conscious decision to be dishonest.I'll even let you have a free pass that I am le samefag schizo guy and this isn't projection on your part.
>>740599985True, most of the fun came from community servers that had custom gamemodes because base game was so boring.
>>740599837TF2 was fun because of the community AND the game was fun; now the game is just alright but the community is fucking dogshit. CS has a better laid back community.
Yeah, that's what I thought you dork.
