to me, 2v2 consistently delivers an actual satisfying experience. its too much fun to be a dead mod. it deserves a chance but its dead as fuck and populated by pubbers fucking around wasting everyone's time. the mod currently is really raw and uncut but it has potential. im trying to get down to the bottom of this, but i cant come up with an actual reason to why is it that bball, dm mod servers, ultiduo and mge mod are played on hundreds of public and private servers but 2v2 is only ran on like 1 public server. why is that way, idk. imo i find 2v2 valuable because it offers an experience that i cant seem to find elsewhere in other game modes :/

i could get into the reasons of why its valuable but that depends what you are comparing it to. you could compare to either training mod servers like dm mod or mge OR you could compare it to other successful 2v2 modes like ultiduo or bball. training tool or not, fun is subjective and you can still have fun in training mods. ulti/bball are not played specifically bcs its a training tool. yes ofc its useful, and does have a high skill ceiling but its nothing you cannot already recreate in dm or mge . so in that case the way im going to organize this is into,, can be played in a tournament vs cannot be played in a tournament. (this is one way of looking at it, but this was just my guess) Besides fun, maybe people play ulti/bball because it can be played in tournaments and has an endgame. which gives it meaning or purpose to play it; a motivation. of course, dm mod and mge are not played in tournaments and for many reasons, "winning" is somewhat arbitrary and there is no endgame in training mods .

in these relationships you have to ask does 2v2 fit into either of these categories. 1. Is 2v2 an adequate training mod? (imo its a straight downgrade from dm/mge in terms of working specific skills) 2. Does 2v2 have an endgame or enough purpose to be played in tournaments? (imo winning and losing in 2v2 is a little too arbitrary because there is no right strategy or meta, which makes it less meaningful. so it cant be taken seriously in a tournament. i think maybe that could be why there arent tournaments. no tournaments means theres nothing to work towards so no players).

ulti/bball is skill based and your actions do have consequences, can be taken seriously, --> tournament
2v2 mod is too flawed to be played tourneys. no endgame, winning/losing is somewhat arbitrary. the flow of the game resembles a training mod, cannot be taken seriously.

so whats the point? when i often watch tf2 streams in the evening, i think i can see people getting a little tired of the same stale routine . maybe some people want a little more variety . 2v2mge is flawed but it might be fixable. for now itll still be fun but not too serious. and maybe thats the way its meant to be. but it has potential to be something more

should 2v2 be further modified to play more like an actual game? what changes to the gameplay would be beneficial?
