#36 Remove sentries in TF2 General Discussion
HalMight removing sentries have the effect of teams being more reluctant to push out of last? The ability to have a scout swap to engineer and throw up a gun acts as insurance against a failed push out. Of course, this isn't something one thinks about when pushing out, but as teams get punished for pushing out a bit more, it seems to me that over time they will be slightly more reluctant to make the attempt. Might this not also have the effect of prolonging last stalemates?

I don't claim any expert knowledge; this is merely a hypothesis for you more experienced fellows to examine, then affirm or refute.

the opposite happens actually, its harder to push out cuz you only have 1 scout.

#13 Internet hangouts? in Off Topic

vrchat (I'd try this if I was you. I don't have much experience with it cause im antisocial :(.)
discord (you can find groups about almost anything)

mmos like especially retail WoW are really bad nowadays, no one even talks (unless you rp?). I remember when there was nice communities, some private servers still have that and maybe classic wow when it comes out even tho ur probly not into that kind of thing anymore.

#28 Games that are like comp tf2 in Other Games
Twiggyheh some people want cod clones, the copied game is shit, the copies are worse, but people still play; it just means people have different tastes.

Besides IMHO stalemate issues in tf2 aren't related to the nature of the game (6v6 class based game) but 50% maps, and 50% current class/item balance.
In the very hypothetical case someone makes a similar game this issues *could* be resolved (or the whole game could be

stalemates are made possible because you have a healer. its certainly related to the nature of the game. I think limited movement is a big factor. class balance and maps play into it. its a struggle for mapmakers because TF2 has that thing where you can't really make an open map because snipers will dominate, but maps with chokes are stalematey.

I agree the issues could be resolved in a similar game, but will they be? I don't see many good solutions except having strong movement on all classes which is pretty unlikely in a modern fps. overwatch gets around the healer issue by having offensive ults and game modes which are less susceptible to stalemates (eg: payload, koth).

MakStalemates arent a problem if u havent had ur attention span eroded by Blizzaed games lolololo

meh I barely play overwatch. ever played WoW arena? the king of stalemates. but its mostly arena shooters/oldschool fps that did it.

AntimoonYou realize that Source is based on Goldsource, which is a modified version of the QuakeWorld engine, right? Not to mention that Team Fortress, as a game mode, started out as a Quake mod. Some of the minutiae of physics and movement are different, obviously, but TF2 is very plainly a direct descendant of Quake.

There is too many levels of separation from source to quake engine for source games to feel like quake engine games imo. As far as game engines, by your logic CS:S or V:TMB is a Quake based game which is taking it too far. Using a very loosely quake based engine does not make it a quake based game. Most of the code in GoldSrc is Valves, much less Source. As far as QuakeWorld Team Fortress, TF2 is a spiritual successor I guess. It just doesn't play like it.

I don't really care to argue the semantics of whether TF2 should be considered a quake based shooter (it is, to some degree of course).

My point was TF2 doesn't play like what you would think a quake based shooter is. It's not fast paced. The physics like with air control and the floatiness is source/cs style. The netcode is clearly 100% Valve (high lag compensation). etc. Overwatch also does not play like what you would think a quake based shooter is.

#192 The Mouse/Mousepad Thread v2 in Hardware

I always preferred the feel of 500hz to 1k. why do people stop at 1000 anyway? I had my intellimouse at 8000hz. its just like dpi its a fucking meme.

dunno why finalmouse makes the lightest mouse ever then they put a shit braided cable on it, but thats par for the industry these days i guess

#23 Games that are like comp tf2 in Other Games
ScrewballsquieloverwatchOverwatch plays more like a MOBA than a quake based class shooter.

TF2 doesn't play like a quake based shooter either. its not even quake engine ffs. yeh 20 years ago it was in development to be one, but then they switched to source

its Overwatch.
on the dm side of things there like HL2DM (dead tho), CPMA, quake champs, tribes, qw

but I think you're going about it wrong if you are looking for a TF2 clone.
TF2 isn't even that good and 6s has stalemate issues

#7 About cl_interp and cl_interp_ratio cyzer setting in TF2 General Discussion

0 interp = cyzers lan settings

one would assume he uses something else online.

the config you have of his is most likely missing some netcode settings.

that is why you have default interp and interp ratio.

I don't know if cyzer uses interp ratio 1 and interp 0.033 cuz I don't spend my time memorizing invite players configs

clocks setting is superior anyway, interp nerds will know

#28 Best gaming mousepad?? in Q/A Help

my puretrak talent peeled on all 4 sides (in less than a month) so yeah lol.
cant stand qck+ cause it rolls up while im playing unless I hang it over the desk, also mine has hella flat spots. won't be a problem if you don't rest your wrist, I guess.
qck heavy is fine for me, never had it peel even though its not stitched (several thousand hours on it..)
I prefer something with less friction like goliathus speed for soldier though.
artisan is too small
gsr gets annihilated by humidity or sweat

#9 help with mouse feet in Hardware

I'd just get different mouse feet.
teflon tape sucks. pita to apply. hard to get rounded edges. wears out fast. don't waste your time.
cutting them out of a teflon sheet and add adhesive is fine. thats what hyperglides etc does. but why bother diy unless u just enjoy tinkering. if you want them to be really good you have to round the edges too.
no idea about furniture sliders

I feel like the scratching is more to do with having sharp edges than anything. don't cut them. if you have to: cut it in a circle/oval and file the edges

puretrak hd feet are the thickest and most durable ones ive used (1.2mm)
back in the day i also bought like 200 feet off taobao or ebay for dirt cheap. they will outlast my gaming career for sure.

#3 Monitor purchase time... in Hardware

I wouldn't pay $500 for a 144hz, not at all worth. thats 240hz price ranges.

https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-XB272-bmiprz-1920x1080/dp/B071D6NGMH/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1520039166&sr=1-2&keywords=240hz+27
$55 more for similar monitor in 240hz.

theres a cheaper acer 27" 240hz too with freesync around $440 on amazon

most of the other brands only do 25" in 240hz.

for 27" 144hz TN theres much cheaper ones. benq and asus etc. like half the price.
(the acer abmiprz u linked is a TN panel despite some reports its IPS)

im not a huge fan of acer, their early 120hz and stuff were just awful in terms of input lag.
I don't know about their current models though. acer may be worth it for that 27" 240hz

if your pc can't keep 240 frames or you want to save $200-300, get a cheap 144hz
