wish i played back when 7v7 and 8v8 was still played. Would have been fun to try it out.
I've got a question for some folks here that I've thought about for some time. I'm not trying to troll so please take this seriously. I am generally interested in what folks here think would happen given the following hypothetical situation.
Let's say hypothetically TF2 wasn't out yet but was set for release tomorrow. All the current weapons/items were in the game at the point of release. Be honest.. do you think ESEA/ETF2L (6s) would come up with the same exact ban lists? I'm sure some things would be banned.. but can anyone honestly say the lists would be exactly the same as they are today? How would "vanilla" be defined?

The whole time I was thinking, "why won't you pull out your damn equalizer already?" I've been spoiled.
I remember them 36 rockets, 4 in the chamber from beta. Demoman had a ridiculous amount of ammo as well. Those were the days.

I feel as if anything, more unlocks would've been allowed (like bonk and crit-o-cola).

Ultimately, I would say yes. Most weapons that are currently banned have been talked about one way or another and have been universally agreed upon to ban. An item like Bonk!, as Vanilla mentioned, was universally agreed to have banned because of its imbalances.
The only thing though is that it would take a season or two to get to the ban list we have right now as we would probably use the first, and maybe the second season to test items, banning them as we go.

demo rollers used to detonate on player collision. Now that was some shit.

I think a lot of comp players would be disgusted by how dumb the game is and wouldn't even consider playing it competitively.

This probably. I don't think I could look at TF2 the way I do if I grouped it in with all the other F2P games of the current era. And hats. If TF2 came with hats, I don't think anyone from the competitive community would take it seriously. TF2 has added so much silliness, for better or worse.
