Cool, now what's the justification that Valve will never port TF2 to an engine that is now six years old and that enthusiasts have to do it for them?

Who defends Valve's known bad and bloated coding that gets so bad, modders have to fix it for them?

The last big update TF2 got was five years ago. 85% of discussion is the same thing. People have to talk about playdoh snakes on Snakewater for two days just so they can talk about something. You're on the wrong website if you're hoping for new discussions.

10 year old hardware shouldn't struggle to run a 14-year old game.

Did anyone else here experience the problem where they played TF2 back in the day and your computer ran it fine, then you took a break for some years, came back, and suddenly the same game you played in 2012 but are now playing in 2020 causes your computer (that I even minorly upgraded in between that time) to struggle getting it above 80FPS even with FPS configs?

It was weird having a graphics card that I bought ages ago specifically to run TF2 was no longer able to run TF2.

I had to double check this because I could've sworn that the entry fee for Advanced was lower and the Participation Prize was lower. Then I guess disregard my point, there literally is no reason why an Invite player would bother sandbagging in Advanced, so Phobia is right.

People on the lower end of Invite usually can without restriction. But top Invite teams can't otherwise a consistently #4 Invite team would make more sandbagging in Advanced for the #1 prize pool and just ruin the division for the rest.

Rain is a cool guy, good aim, plays well with his teammates, knows how to make a needed pick on Sniper during disad or stalemates.

Make PropHunt official.

It's not fun dying (and especially dropping) to a OHKO weapon from a skilled soldier who does a speedshot jump towards you where the reaction time needed to kill the Soldier before he touches you is so fast, it's unrealistic, but I also don't want the MG banned because those insane moments are far and few between. The more likely scenario is a Soldier just going up in the air and coming down, and those are fairly easy to either dodge or snipe him out of the air.

I think the MG provides the Soldier some alternative ability to make some of the big plays needed, otherwise he would only have four rockets to work with and playing him would be even more textbook and predictable than it is now. Soldier already has a tedious enough time being the one who breaks stalemates, and often having to kill himself for two minutes straight just to try and make something happen, I don't want to gimp him further without offering a replacement in his utility. The only thing I detest are bunny hop crits, which feel like you did everything right in dodging the Soldier but still died. But those are baked into Valve's engine, so there's no real way around that.

• Some players might not be friends with people in the pug, so they feel like they're playing with strangers.
  
• Some teammates are so chatty with calls and comms, that sometimes you find yourself saying very little because so much is already being said.
  
• Some people are just really bad at multi-tasking with attacking and talking at the same time.
  
• Some people just want to listen to music while they zone out, DM, and maybe listen to teammate calls.
  
• Sometimes you get a team who is so annoying to listen to, you want to locally mute half of them and just play by feel instead of talking to them.

Pugs are chaos 80% of the time and thrive more on DM than textbook coordination or playing-your-role. I get why some people just wanna zone out and play 6's like it's a pub.

This may be one of the best contributions to the community alongside things like tf2logs and masterconfig.
