woodyOldies: Is anyone from the old guard still around? I used to play with a bunch of incredible folks and am wondering if any familiar faces are still kicking around.
BeaVerN, AMS, Schocky, Silentes and others who have played at that time but weren't prem yet.
woodyNew Maps: Back in the day, I played Badlands, Granary, Gullywash, Metalworks, Process, Snakewater, and Sunshine. Have any new maps emerged that I should be aware of?
except for badlands all of those maps are played including product (this map was around in 2014-2015 as well)
bagel (new koth map)
sultry (new 5cp map)
and reckoner (pretty old 5cp by this point) being swapped around every couple of seasons
woodyPickup Games: I always enjoyed the old pickup2 IRC system for organizing games. Is there an equivalent where I can jump into a decent pickup game without much fuss? Lobbies just aren't the same.
tf2pickup.eu is for casual pugs and there's a prem double mix discord for people who have recently played prem
woodyMeta: Have there been any significant shifts I need to know about to avoid being completely out of the loop? When I played, the only unlocks that were really used were for the medic.
Medics run as fast as scouts when healing them so the game is a lot more scout centric and soldiers mainly bomb/flank/hold chokes instead of relying heavily on heals and ubers.
There weren't a lot of unlocks added since 2015 that have made much of a difference but if you only remember the medic ones then soldier got gunboats, 2 banners and the escape plan, scout got winger (makes you jump higher when equiped) and boston basher and those are the notable ones.
woodyHUD:[/b] Does anyone recognise the HUD I used? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RqYGQdkbB0&t=1s
I think it's PVHUD
woodyETF2L 6v6 Seasons: How regular are they, and when's the next one?
There are around 3 seasons per year, and the next one will start very soon, signups announcement will probably be posted in a week or so.
