Not at all. Generally when you're pusing any point you have at least 2 points of entry, sometimes 3, generally one area is more cluttered than other (ie: Gully big door vs gully choke). Demo gives u the most area control but if you only have one demo you can only hold one of these points of entry with him, if you have 2 it's a whole other story where the games kinda becomes unplayable because you can hold the majority of the pushing routes with him.

Nerfing the demo wouldn't work as we saw already this year, not enough entry damage for the fragging classes to follow up which consequently has the opposite effect and actually slows down the game more.

So yeah, it's not the same logic, Demo is not OP, it's a fine balance and 1 limit demo as it is at the moment is perfect, anything more or less would have a huge impact for the worse.

I have this issue as well on old demos

Already emailed valve and nothing.

It would be fixed if they could restore the tf2 betas as I posted here http://teamfortress.tv/thread/20891/tf2-betas-disappeared

We also limit medic to 1 but do you think a team of 6 medics would win everything?

It has nothing to do with being OP honestly, much more about promoting a fast paced and aggressive gameplay because 2 demos would make the game so much more passive and slow. We played 6s with 2 demos before, that didn't work out, doesn't mean that the demo is an unstoppable killing machine that would destroy the game just because its limited to 1.

The thing is that the class is inherently a bit more forgivable at the lower levels and pub play because you can pick off dumb/off position people with traps and cheap spam but it's incredibly unforgivable at high levels against players with good movement and dodge, if they get face to face you're pretty much useless.

If the Spy vs Engineer update really is the name of the comp update, it's about the worst possible combination of classes you could have picked to associate with the competitive start of tf2.

Im not sure, it's not very clear, but I was recording a 6v6 demo, so it had tournament mode enabled, certainly the client (the game) detected that and it triggered some action but since it was a demo or it's not implemented yet, it says it's unknown by server. That's all I can get out of it. But it certainly is new because I mess a lot with demos regularly and just noticed it now.

sry to necro this thread but to add to the hype train, while recording some demos I found an interesting thing being spammed in console

can confirm this does not work on demos

I miss the old infused, really a great team, the one and only big epsilon rivalry.

I dream of the day they release actual useful cvars

Great article! :D Excited to see this final.

Btw, just want to take advantage of this really in depth post and remember we could use some help expanding and fleshing out the content a bit more on comp.tf asia fortress page and the asian scene overall, so if anyone from the asian scene is around and would like to help let me know if you need anything.

Is there any way to disable all the halloween effects and particles?

Stuff like the flame color, rocket trail color, footsteps, etc... I have a few Halloween demos Im trying to edit and it gets really nasty with those particle effects
