If anything it would have to be picking the weapons that are allowed, not the weapons that are banned. There are too many possible unlocks any class could be using even after you choose to not allow a few, and then you end up at the same old rock paper scissors battle (similar to what marmaduke just said) of who has the unlocks that better counter the weapons the other team is using.

Of course, if you choose to allow weapons instead of ban weapons then you run into full time GRU heavies and stuff like that. Weapon/class combos that are too good to pass up so everyone would run them causing the game to be slow and boring to watch/play.

We're in a strange spot here, us 6v6 players, we have a game that we've chiseled down to something that is fast and fun. However, for it to become as popular as we want it to be we would need to water it down quite a bit, and I don't think that's a good idea. Personally, I believe we should continue on with our strict whitelisting because that's what makes 6v6 so fast/fun, and a consistent ruleset across seasons is something you see in every actual sport (and e-sport). Accept that highlander is the more popular format (and be OK with it since it's quite literally TF2 at it's most pure form), that way we don't have to dilute the 6v6 game that we all know and love in a desperate attempt to gain more players.

I'm still waiting for a map that has trains that go from point to point instead of across the map in between points. Like an alternate route that also happens to have a train that you can hitch a ride on. How sick would that be. Need balance? Put another train going the opposite direction on the other side of the map. heh

Like others have said reset your controls to default in TF2 and if that doesn't fix it try adding -autoconfig to your launch options to reset everything.

golly gee willikers that last clip

Are you plugging your mic into the port on the front panel of your computer? If so, try plugging it into the back directly on the motherboard. Cases often have awful awful quality cables with no shielding for the front panel connections.This applies for headphones as well.

Yea I tried using the instructions that are commented in on the pastebin. As for spaces I figured that's what I would use to get the text into the middle of the screen but I forgot about how it would need to line up perfectly in the center.

Come to think of it, if someone can manage to change the size of the crosshair font you could just vary the font size slightly to do the more fine adjustments that extra/less spaces can't accomplish.

So I saw turts' post about using developer 1 and echo commands and had the idea to try to use that as yet another method of displaying a custom crosshair. If it works as intended, you should be able to do something like "1" bound to bring up your primary and one of fog's crosshairs, then "2" bring up your secondary and a different crosshair from fog's crosshair font. I haven't put much effort into this and I'm not exactly a hud/font expert but this is what I have after a bit of toying around.

I changed the font for the echo text from whatever it is by default to fog's crosshair font by following the same process outlined in the SPUF post turts' linked. I've hit a roadblock at the moment though because I can't figure out how to change the size of the text that "echo" displays. I imagine there's someone out there more motivated than myself who thinks this would be pretty cool. Any ideas?

Does it happen on all servers or just some? Some servers won't let you download the map so when you connect it will just give you a popup saying "missing map blah.bsp"

Try these commands to make sure everything is enabled:

cl_allowdownload 1
cl_downloadfilter all

I totally remember that map with control points on a moving train from New Map Weekends pugs like 2 or 3 years ago. :o

I've played on a team with everyone there but defy (whom I've played a few pugs with) and I can safely say this this team's mumble will be filled with fun times.

Seymour will be screaming that he's a duck while novice simultaneously asks *your name here* for heals in exchange for a butt touch (can confirm he does in fact touch butts, met him at LAN). With all this happening defy is probably hitting some sick double airshot as a scout sneaks through to kiss Mike on the cheek; queue the "defy stop being bad" (love you mike <3). W, Seven, Robyn will probably just sing in mumble the whole time while holding down her namesake key all night (she makes it work don't worry).

On a more serious note, this team has some players with a lot of experience in this game and I'm sure it'll be a fun ride for whoever jump on board.

Do you have that jump script that gives you a hundred rockets in a clip in a local server? I could have sworn this glitch used to happen with that script.

Check your power settings and make sure your cpu isn't under clocking itself to save power/cool down. If it's under clocking to save power you can fix that through the power settings like this. If it's slowing down to cool off, you can fix that by getting a laptop cooling pad or making sure none of the vents are blocked off or clogged with dust.

believe it or not skelter but some people find it fun to compete(even in video games!)

What do you guys think of the quality on this? Instead of using Lawena or something similar I used Nvidia Shadowplay(realtime recording like fraps at 1080p 60fps with essentially no performance impact) alongside a modified Chris' HQ config. It was all recorded in realtime and thrown straight into Vegas, there was no extra time rendering the frames then using virtualdub or srcdemo2.
