So I wonder if "casual mode" is going to have leaver penalties since its placing you in an actual 12v12. Would kind of kill the entire reason I ever go into pubs (no commitment, join/leave whenever), even if its already rarely.
Or is quickplay going to stay the same and casual mode also being added in addition to competitive mode? Doesn't sound like that at least.

I guess now with the casual mode quickplay they're going full on quickplay and not going back.
Really hate this trend of quickplay for fps's, sure it's more user friendly and it puts you in a "expected" balanced game quickly, but all the sense of community and social aspect of gaming is removed from it. You can't become a regular in a community server, make friends and just enjoy it with the people there regularly just like you're going to your favorite bar or cafe for a chat.
All these dumbed down features in FPSs are killing me, I mean how casual do you have to be to not be able to use a server browser...
More than anything I think it was quickplay that killed tf2, or at least a big part of the casual community. I remember portugal having 2 regular full 32 slots servers at all times, well even after 1am, full of regulars all the time, and it's where I made a lot of friends and started playing competitive. There's no portuguese servers now, I haven't seen one with people for 6 months+. Nowadays I dont even pub anymore because I don't feel any link to the game community.
I guess whatever works best and keeps the game alive, but I can't help but feel sad for all the fun times I had on community servers.

I agree that Quickplay killed Community servers that didn't specialize in something (jump, surf, mge, dm etc...) While I think what Valve is trying to do is amp up the competitiveness of pubs and steer them towards being more collaborative and similar to matchmaking, I'm honestly unsure how Valve is going to deal people leaving, and also is the server list not usable at all? Like can people not join a specific map if they want to now?

I feel like the Casual Game system is just Valve trying to speed up TF2's transformation into CS:GO.

I'm a little sad the graphical settings are being enforced but whatever
I'm glad the fixed zoom sensitivity ratios not working, and hopefully they dont force weird net settings and ragdolls and stuff because that made me very sad

Happy for the map makers to get Sunshine, Metalworks and Swiftwater official.
12v12 quickplay MM is interesting, hope it indirectly makes community pubs more populated for those of us who just want to mess around without consequences when pubbing.

TcmanoDoes anyone know what the updated MM map pool is? I assume they are going to include Metalworks and Sunshine in it now as their both already known compet maps in ESEA.
I presume ESEA with the addition of Gorge and Gravel Pit (maybe?)

Do you think that Reckoner would ever get accepted in the near future? I feel that without quickplay, they would be reluctant to add new maps as it would be harder to experiment on new maps via pubs.

lmao highlander
^ THIS!!
No but seriously, it kinds looks like valve is unofficially moving past HL and into 6s. I bet the weapon balancing (that B4nny mentioned) will be 6s minded.
So what is the real reason to keep playing HL now? Just because people enjoy it? would it be reasonable to say that desperately hanging onto (and pushing for) HL is a waste of time and THAT might stop the game from getting the fresh boost that it needs?

TsarbucksDo you think that Reckoner would ever get accepted in the near future? I feel that without quickplay, they would be reluctant to add new maps as it would be harder to experiment on new maps via pubs.
"Near future" most likely not - only because the map has quite a ways to go! It may look good but there are quite a few major gameplay changes it needs before I would even think about treating it as near-final. Maybe in the future, who knows!

Q: ARE THERE ANY MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS TO PLAY?
A: The only minimum requirement is DirectX 9. However, certain graphical settings will be enforced in order to ensure a level playing field (i.e. only graphical options that can be accessed through the Options and Advanced Options menus).
If they are going to restrict all our configs, at least add a few fps boosting options in the options and advanced options menus. Such as mat_phong, r_lod, etc.

I played matchmaking 2 days ago and it positively was fixed, although probably in some incremental update and it went unmentioned
