tf2 will never be a balanced (pub) game until engi and heavy are reworked :(

it doesnt matter ur still a loser lol

one is more pathetic than the other

for a scammer ur hats are really shit lol

well like
no

its stupid that he was able to run a charity for that long and have no one say anything yeah ok 100% I agree

its dumb that 6 months from now the people who donate from outside of this forum are going to be super skeptical and untrusting and not donating because of something like this. There's like 6 threads on reddit about this, and that does a lot for the publicity of TF2, TF2 charities, and the TF2 community, and none of it is good. like at all. Unless someone that people trust runs the next big thing, and there's like 2 community members that the average player is even aware of, there's a good chance people will avoid donating, especially in items, and that is really really really really sad tbh.

im probably wrong but :(((

(also someone will make a post ironically asking if someone is going to scam their hats and I'll have an aneurysm btw what's the running total of how much he stole pls rspnd)

this is kinda shitty for anyone looking to start their own charity drive too as well :(

anyone wanting to do anything like this while being relatively unkown or new to the community is gonna get super scrutinized over this which kinda sucks if u like charity because it makes the process that much more complex :((((

"Fixed an exploit related to Highlander mode and changing teams with instant respawn"

they're listening!

ur nerd essay was really sad tbh i minus fragged it

i can sign into my main now :)))

trying to drag players from other games when u haven't even tapped the relatively easy market of ur own playerbase is dumb

u need to get pubbies into 6s, and u need to get them enjoying it enough to come back
if u want valve to support comp obv

if you just wanted a ranking system for TF2c, you could do a simple one with UGC levels, if nothing else u could sort never played, kinda played, and actually played players relatively well.

the solution to getting everyone playing one system, is to get them to all play on one system. In an ideal world, we'd have more people of higher divs interested in trying to roll the shit out of lobbies, and a high enough number of them that lobbies do not instantly get rolled all the time. A ranking system etc could be useful but in the end wouldn't really be necessary, just getting more people visibly and publicly playing 6s. Part of the reason CS does so well is that it always had a high quality pug service available in some form. This allowed it to appeal to people interested in actually getting good at the game to have both a barometer and a training ground. Right now, TF2c is neither, and that drives away people who are interested in the game as a serious play 2 win type thing, without attracting people who wanna fuck around.

pls stop ruining lobbies

While ur not wrong, pushin tf2c as a whole helps legitimize and consolidate comp tf2 for the average player. Something that isn't helping is Open+ players dicking on kids as demo or whatev and calling them subhuman subopen trash or whatev because even if it is fun, it only alienates people. Making it feel like people of all divs take it seriously promotes a learning atmosphere, as well as makes it feel like a serious thing where people are trying to win, ala csgo. You can call CSGO MM salty, toxic, and bad, but you can't say that you get a serious competitive vibe from it. Conversely, even higher level public pugs in tf2 are taken as a joke 90% of the time.

disable old tf2/update it

benefits could be better performance / lighting / map tools / less buggy (rofl)

they did it moving from goldsrc to src

they possibly could avoiding losing to many users if they optimize source 2 properly or whatevs, and I imagine considering that csgo and doter are huge, easily accessible games they'd want to keep fps playable, that the engine easily runnable even on toasters

to decide whether or not tf2 needs a lobby system, u have to look at whether or not it actually nets valve more money, relative to the effort required to execute it (assuming valve is purely profit motivated)

CSGO monetization would work very well for tf2, with journals or whatev
but htere's literally no reason to put in a lobby system for tf2 since a fair majority of the people who would play it are already playing it, and it's not like there's a need to force people into tf2

CSGO had this problem because people still wanted to play 1.6 or source or CZ or whatev
comparatively TF2 is feature complete to the point where no competing game is sucking up profits that are availible

unless valve sees a huge monetizing potential in tf2 mm, to the point where the steam market share of tf2 basically doubles, they'd never make the same money off of a tf2 mm compared to a csgo one

comp tf2 will be dead when people stop reacting
