nah i honestly like the map regardless of what ppl think of it.. id probably dont like badlands as much if i was forced to play it in 9 out of 10 lobbies too

clearcut goes in the 30fps tier

yes i like badlands fight me
sunshine goes one spot lower for killing framerates, and process for being overplayed to death
Make yours! https://tiermaker.com/create/competitive-6v6-map-tier-list-219527

it automatically opens tabs of channels where you get a mention and you cant see the past log of a channel from before you entered it just like with IRC
you can kindaaa fix the latter enabling auto-join and persistence on the channels you care about, but it will still not show messages from before you logged in besides for the log of the last time you were connected

Ever got annoyed at having to run like 9 different programs for all your messaging apps? say no more!
Pidgin is an open source messaging application that lets you log in to IRC, MSN, Google Talk, Steam, Pidgin, and many more, all at once in a single program!

It comes with many clients by default but for steam and pidgin you have to download the plugins manually
Steam plugin
Discord plugin (available on ubuntu repositories)

Edit: Ok i was excited bcuz i didnt know this was possible but apparently its really barebones
It doesn't support voice chat, embeds, uploading images, hiding channels, or pretty much anything besides basic chatting, but hey its an option

whats the AMD equivalent of nvidia inspector

you say its ping/lag but the vid you show seems to be game stuttering, not network related
is it your network or does the game literally freeze for you coz thats different

Theres a nice Win7 debloat guide for the people still using it

its on cfg.tf

mat_filterlightmaps 0
mat_filtertextures 0
mat_specular 0
mat_trilinear 0

these are the only differences anyway but some of this is slightly outdated:

• You have to toggle mat_filterlightmaps ingame to get the blocky textures
  
• Having both specularity and trilinear off decreases fps for unknown reasons

So with this in mind its probably better if you use these

mat_filterlightmaps 1 // put mat_filterlightmaps 0 on your class configs or bind it
mat_filtertextures 0
mat_specular 0
mat_trilinear 1

what i mean is that if you hit a shotgun or a rail in quake3, you hear the hitsound instantly even if you had 100ms latency, but in tf2 with the same ping, even if you reduce the sound delay, you will first hear your shotgun and 100ms later hear the hitsound

is it based on quake 3 for real? considering quake 3 netcode is different from quake 2, and quake 2 is the one that people claim valve based the half-life 1 engine on.
Also from what i read, Quake 3 uses UDP, while TF2/Quake 2 use TCP

Is there any reason why TF2 netcode feels like its held together with ductape compared to other games?

For comparison, in Quake 3/Live when you hit someone with hitscan you instantly hear the hitsound, but in TF2 the hitsound has a delay dependant on your ping, like if the server has to check back if you hit the player instead of the client itself. Like in QLive it feels like real time, even rockets seem to "come out" instantly even with 80 ping but in TF2 it seems to be server-dependant and the hitsound and projectiles are delayed depending on your ping.

Its like the netcode and hitreg of TF2 waits for the server confirmation idk can someone smart explain it to me?

this was way more fun for me than highlander even if they forced the mappool to be very similar
a bit of a shame that the admins wanted it to be "highlander with less players" but it was a really fun mode regardless and probably even easier to get into than HL
i still think 6v6 classlimit 1 would've been better but i guess that won't happen and if it did the HL mains behind it would make it on payload maps anyway

im gonna agree with this because i autistically believe that all the rules should be written down instead of just be word of mouth and because i love his accent and he should voice heavy weapons guy

edit:
i mean if the purpose of sandbagging rules is to avoid situations like this, they are clearly overdoing it on HL, and underdoing it in 6v6 where each player counts a lot more. Besides regardless of that theres no clear rules and its up to admins to personally choose

seems like rolling out left side is way better for demo while everyone else should go right side
mid and lobby/last feel great to play on, but 2nd is a bit too big and i wouldnt know where to hold on it
it could be interesting to replace the pillar under the mid point with a small healthpack for some risk-reward
Full playtest

biggest problem of the map is how fast the attacker spawns are when you're defending last, making it extremelly hard to recapture 2nd when the guy you kill spawns in about 6 seconds right next to lobby
example: https://youtu.be/CEWvXXs1PrM?t=1150 (check scoreboard)
theres also a lack of healthkits and ammo in general and the mid feels pretty flat and lacking high ground
