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.

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.

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.

I'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.

>>
>>740606509
Recipe 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
>>
>>740604537
NTA, 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.

>>740606591
Well 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.

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.
>>
>>740609308
Both comp formats are retarded.
6v6 ensures most classes aren't played
Highlander directly runs into the issue that TF2 is literally designed around the fact that there's multiple of a class running around.
>>
>>740609308
highlander 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?

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 bullets like it's Ukraine

The 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.

Installing a mod that restores the old viewmodels does not impact performance in the slightest.

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.

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.

You 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.

Medic is a pretty bad place to start honestly. It gives a pretty boring first impression.

And 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.

None of this shit should even be there. I want to use a weapon. I should have access to it.

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.

damn, 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.

Crits 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 are
I 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.

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.

No, 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.

Samwiz1 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.

Kinda 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.

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.

You'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.

>>740615471
Point 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.

True, most of the fun came from community servers that had custom gamemodes because base game was so boring.

TF2 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.
