I'll just throw all the ideas into 1 big post.

Demos/STV

-Being able to move around when you pause STV Demo
-Fix looping sound of Flames/Door opening/Heavy minigun spin/shoot
-Fix disappearing player model
-Integrate Auto-Record command into Tf2, whenever match starts, demo starts recording. Like P-REC but without it.
-Add Demoui button into main menu
-Cs:Go like Demoui system
-Be able to Open Scoreboard when watching Pov demos
-Option to remove Jitter when using Drive command

HUD

-Replace Red Damage numbers with Other color or have...
-...In game HUD designer that allows you to change various elements like Health and Ammo position/Damage Colors etc...
-Same Scoreboard system like in Cs Go, right click when scoreboard is opened, to click on players and check their profile, mute them, report for hacking, vote kick etc.
-Better Crosshairs, more flexible ones like in Cs:Go
-Scoreboard Shows Respawn time of your team members

In-Game settings

-Halloween/Full Moon days do not affect Servers with mp_tournament 1
-Developer Console enabled by default
-Presets of Graphic levels: Lowest - Low - Med - High -Highest - Ultimate
-Raise Network settings (interp, cmdrate etc.)
-Command to turn on/off Freezecams, by turning off, you switch to other player's pov 1 second later after your death
-Viewmodel FoV slider somewhere in Settings
-Fov defaulted to 90 instead of 75
-Damage numbers enabled by default
-Fps saver settings like: Disable Ragdolls, Explosions, Shadows etc.
-Be able to Turn on and Off Cosmetics, with an option to Filter which Cosmetics (Miscs/Hats/Unusuals/Self Made etc.)
-Command to turn off Achievement sound

Main Menu

-Stream Section
-Season/Tournament signups on Main Menu
-Add Guides for players who are new to Competitive
-Complete overhaul of Main menu to make it look more attractive
-Add little badges like in Cs:Go, with competitive achievements, something like: ESEA Invite S15 Participant, ETF2L Prem S20 Winner, UGC Plat Silver 2nd Place
-Synchronization with ETF2L/UGC/ESEA/Other leagues Accounts, to see your Current and Past teams as well as Division you're in
-Loadout free view, where you can rotate and zoom in/out your character, as well as change team colors
-Competitive Matches in Server Browser, so you can spec any matches you wish
-Upcoming Matches section, for each league

In-Game

-Add a Button or a Command which allows you to switch spawn without changing class/loadout
-Feature to actually name your Presets, like: Roamer (preset 1), Pocket (preset 2), Pub (preset 3), Fun (preset 4)...
-Update Voice Sound Codec, just like in Cs Go recently
-In-game Live statistics, which shows who is doing most damage/kills/heals
-Add DM Gamemode
-Add Medal Slot in Loadout menu
-Class Tutorials for all Classes
-Add Weapon descriptions, for those weapons that don't have them or have hidden attributes

Maps

-Voting for new Official map(s) every x amount of months, just like they used to do in Cs Go,
-Fix Payload Cart looping sound after winning 1 round
-Add Beta Maps for current Competitive maps, add them to Beta map pool for letting players play on them and potentially leaving feedback, to balance maps more.
-Add Map Workshop, for easier downloads of new versions of Custom maps
-Update old maps such as Freight, Yukon, etc. By possibly contacting community

Classes

-Alter Bubbles of Calling for Medic team members, add a feature to see how long they have not been damaged, for Crit healing.
-Fix Airblasted rockets going to random directions
-Add New Stock items that drastically change Class playstyle:
*Gunboats
*Sandvich
*Wrangler and Gunslinger
*All Mediguns
*All Watches
Make all of those Stock, because those weapons really change each class's playstyle, especially Medic's Mediguns, especially important when Item server goes down!

Random

-(Bi)Monthly Reset of Duel wins
-Custom Announcer packs (Paid only), just like in Dota 2
-Add "Sniper!" Voiceline (taken from MvM) to Main game, to call if Sniper is watching.
-Weapon Shines for dx8 users
-Add Signature item, that allows you to Sign weapons, instead of Gift Wraps
-Add Strange Counter: Kills in Competitive mode, Airshots, Headshot Airshots
-Special Keys that you can buy, where 75% or so goes to Funding Tf2 Competitive tournaments
-Update Game PC Requirements as well as Screenshots
-More regular blogs, what is planned, dev blogs, what updates we should be waiting for.
-Tournament announcements on Main Blog, instead News section
-Addition to Saxxy competition: Best Fragmovie

Feature Requests
1.- Floating arrows on warm-up so that newbs learn where's the rollout easily
2.- Basic rocket jump/stickyjump tutorial and an optional advanced tutorials (?) Quake Live has this
I know they planned rocketjumping as a feature since even the early TF2 trailers feature it
3.- Optimize game performance / fix demo problems. Requirements on the steam page are quite outdated
4.- Make it worth the wait

These too. Class tutorial could be something forced
Maybe depending on how good you were at the tutorial it matches you with different people in your first match

Fix the 'An issue with your computer is blocking the VAC system, you cannot play on secure servers' bug

I'm aware it's not TF2-exclusive, but seriously, about half of the scrims/officials I've played or watched lately have had to deal with this :<

Seeing as this is something that affects CSGO, I would assume Valve has been looking into it and trying to find a fix. Presumably they either a) have a fix that isn't ready to deploy b) haven't found the cause yet or c) this isn't something that can be fixed

-Add numeric health values by default on HUDs (this applies to teammates/the spectated/enemies as Spy+Medic/buildings/robots, etc.)

http://drok-radnik.com/junk/hud_health.jpg

-Add damage last done as a default HUD option also

http://i.imgur.com/MNbitr5.png

-A more robust HUD editor IN-GAME where the color, size, position etc. of these values and others can be tweaked

-Add building hitsounds that are different from regular hitsounds (and damage numbers, why not)

-Optimize, optimize, optimize

-Fix the bug where if you try to upgrade a fully built Teleporter entrance while the exit is in the process of building, you "repair" the exit and waste metal until it's built as well. (source: http://youtu.be/PtnukOucObQ)

-If you walk in spawn at all (even just a tiny bit of your body) while carrying a building (just sentries?), it'll be destroyed. This means you have to be careful taking teleporters that were placed right on the edge of spawn and the outside if you're taking buildings with you. This is rather annoying, make the "protection" more lenient while still not allowing Engies to sit in spawn with a building. Add a countdown until the building explodes or expand the "safe" zone.

-Additionally, if you put teleporters in some places like a certain spot in the way back of the tunnel by a minecart in Dustbowl phase 1, it'll break if someone tries to use it since they can't successfully teleport due to player height/teleporter height conflict or something. Just add no-builds to these areas instead of Engineers having to find out through trial and error.

-Fix buildings blowing up if you change wrenches other than Sentries for the Gunslinger and vice versa. Makes no sense outside of this, just another pain.

-Add a world reload animation for the Pomson. Engie just stands there and you hear crank noises at the moment.

-Fix these: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=1671299

-Add these fixes and SERIOUSLY consider adding certain enhancements: https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1URgEtYCsqdpFdbWPMNqNJIZngSbUUCCtSQ03AuHrcBE

-Adding on to the above, please regularly add community-contributed fixes, especially stuff like the creator of an item optimizing it and fixing textures or whatever.

-Update and add new in-game tips.

-Fix being able to move yourself during the few seconds of freeze time at the start of matches and THEN make spawn points consistent in some way (i.e. all scouts spawn at the back/front). It's just pointless atm because everyone wants to rocket/sticky jump to the resupply and eke out a tiny positional advantage when we should all be on the same page. This is a change consistent with when the Medigun was changed to always build uber at max during setup time, to remove the need for self-damage grinding.

-Rework the points system. You should be rewarded for doing things like tanking sentry damage as a Bonk'd Scout, N amount of repairing done as a fellow Engineer, etc....

-Fix all associated Spy bugs, he's a mess. https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Spy#Bugs Probably more along with these

-Map workshop! Accept map fixes and changes by creators.

-Fix 9s looking like 5s in the default font.

http://i.imgur.com/xCXza24.jpg

-Implement crit glows for weapons that have none

-Implement unique SFX for weapons that lack them.

-Adding on to this, weapons that have passive buffs/nerfs should appear on player models. Some do but it's inconsistent ATM, and Valve even added an update that focused on changing this (removal of set bonuses and so on).

http://i.imgur.com/Kgu7Vaj.png

tbh CSGO style holstering would be one of the coolest things to be added to this game, but with the way weapons and hats work currently it might trigger the entity limit and that's problematic obviously

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but in-game settings to turn off/on viewmodels and change crosshairs for specific weapon slots on specific classes would be a god send that'd fix the bugs that occur when you use configs/scripts to do it instead

I know they said improved crosshairs were coming but something else I'd love to see would be if valve made it so the directory "materials/vgui/crosshairs" is no longer checked by sv_pure. This would allow players to put any custom material they desire in the custom crosshairs folder, and, therefore, use the in-game commands to change size/color and swap between different crosshairs for different weapons. Requires minimal effort on Valve's part and pleases everyone: newer players could just download one of the many "improved default crosshairs" packs (many of which already exist) and could get their outlined, spinning, pony crosshairs, and experienced players can import crosshairs from other games or create their own.

This seems like it might be intentional in order to add more of a penalty to switching wrenches when you die with your sentry but still have a teleporter up

snd_restart in console should fix this. Very strange though as I've only seen it happen on bball.

-----------

My main suggestion would be block lmaobox premium and/or implement an overwatch type feature for TF2, especially when matchmaking comes out.

class_slot configs on top of class configs

ex scout.cfg, scout_1.cfg, scout_2.cfg, scout_3.cfg, for class/primary/secondary/melee respectively.

insanely easy to implement and would fix the one issue with the current config setups, which is that slot configs break when a weapon changes automatically (out of ammo) or when using the scroll wheel.

This was a measure taken by Valve to prevent the Level 3 minisentry glitch afaik, and it seems like a lazy workaround, like buildings blowing up if you have your heel inside spawn. Would appreciate if they could fix it another way.

Thought of another one:

-Fix the game's soundscapes. Sometimes you hear a crit noise from miles away that sounds like it's right next to you, and sometimes you can't hear the level 3 sentry directly around the corner. Big request but it would go a long way.

BUGS

These are console errorsI get on a regular basis, each freezing the game for a little over a second at a time, have tried verifying files, nothing happens:

Material "models/weapons/c_items/c_rocketboots_demo" : proxy "AnimatedWeaponSheen" unable to initialize!
Error: Material "models/weapons/c_items/c_rocketboots_demo" : proxy "AnimatedWeaponSheen" unable to initialize!
Model '(null)' doesn't have attachment 'backblast' to attach particle system 'rocketbackblast' to.
Failed to load sound "ambient_mp3\fire\fire_small_loop2.mp3", file probably missing from disk/repository
odel '(null)' doesn't have attachment 'backblast' to attach particle system 'rocketbackblast' to.
Model '(null)' doesn't have attachment 'backblast' to attach particle system 'rocketbackblast' to.

The text that you highlight in the console text is never actually what you're highlighting, there will always be more text from the previous line.

__________________

Tf2 is a very good game that means a lot to a lot of people, this isn't whining, can I just point out:

Valve has received a lot of money from tf2 alone (judging from this interview, this)

The community has received in return:
this hat
janky shameful gamemode
badges
this

While some new features would be nice, what is more important is that valve actually care for once.
The majority of maps are now community made.
The majority of stupid hats and weapons are now community made.
I think it's nearing evident that valve has the capacity to make this game what it deserves, but doesn't care.
If they cared they wouldn't have let the game look as embarrassing as it does today.

stv feature which allow u to track rocket/sticky (just like grenades in cs), that would look sick on kritz.

im a moron, nvm

even airshots would look sick 8)

client side command to disable hats

6 years later...

WE DID IT BOYS

Well not quite, it was planned a long time ago :>

http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=22746

aww dude i felt so special :(

and here we are

IMO it would be awesome

We have a unified whitelist, but not a unified ruleset regarding length of matches, rounds played to, map pools, or class limits.

It's a start.

FFS Update the default settings. The defaults are terrible.

FOV 90
Viewmodel FOV 70 and minimal viewmodels default. Fix the minimal viewmodels to align with the weapon firing.
hit sounds and hit numbers on by default
less annoying default hitsound and more visible default hit numbers
Raise update rate and lower interp
add cosmetics, phong, ragdoll, and gib checkboxs to the graphics options
Update the default hud

For MM

Unlock after 200 hours play time
Basic class limits. 1 on Heavy, Demo, Medic and 2 on everything else.
Map selection in MM
fixed shotgun spread

For Casual
Remove random crits. Not even pubbers like them.
Fixed shotgun spread

Source 2 with Vulkan port for better multi threading and GPU utilization when?
Extra cosmetic slot for metals

Casual rank limitation is much better than playtime limitation, especially since the last update, Casual XP is harder to get.
Put a 1 limit on engie as well.
Also fixed weapon spread is already on.

Valve will never add an official way to disable hats. Hats are what makes the game a huge source of profit for them so why would they help players ignore their existence

Damage spread is off but it isn't the fixed square pattern we have in real competitive.

Make it a $10 item in the store. :^)
The people who want to disable hats are not the kind of people who buy shit from the store anyways.
Hell i don't even want to disable every cosmetic. A list with checkboxs so i can be rid of things i hate seeing (unusual effects, obnoxious paint colors, and ugly non theme fitting items) would be something i would pay $40 for.

fixed weapon spread is on dude
