The new comp mode is awesome, everyone is playing, everyone is better than me, after a lot of years I'm at the bottom of the scoreboard.
I never played comp because comp kiddies were so annoying, but this, I can finally play with people that know what they are doing.
It's so beautiful ;_;
Havent played TF2 for like 5 months and I'm getting rekt so fuckin much. It hurts ;_;
>>329631836
That's the beauty of it, no more friendlies, no more idlers, all killing.
>>329632276
And retards who don't know that they should guard their Medic. Oh well, it might get better when the ranks get sorted
>>329632847
Oh, yes, some of the people that are currently playing will never get into the mode, they are just testing.
>>329631537
Comp has been ass for me. Every time I play we lost the first round and literally my entire team leaves.
And its not even a steam roll, most of my first rounds have been really close matches. They just get really salty and leave
>>329634904
That's why I hope Valve adds a penalty for rage quitting, I played a few matches and no one left, everyone played fine and had fun.
Most fun I've had in years.
I didn't know they added comp. Now I wanna leave work ;_;
>competetive beta requires steam mobile authenticator
y tho
>>329635235
It's just a stress test.
I haven't played TF2 since probably the Demoman update. How different is the game now?
It'll be fun to finally be able to not be top of the charts just by fucking around
wtf medic why didn't you keep my alive when I over extended?
>>329635336
Because they wan't to push that shit as hard as they can for what ever reason by incorporating it into every little thing they can
I wonder what they're scheming
I don't even fucking have the option to play comp on my main menu. What the fuck?
>>329635789
it ended
>>329635789
The stress test may be over.
That was the most fun I've had in TF2 in a long time.
>that guy running dedicated spy/pyro
Just finished playing it and I loved it (even though half the matches I did in fact get my teeth kicked). I even manage to play some Offense Engie and did okay-ish with my team of random players helping me out and do a couple of Sentry pushes.
That said the big problem for the future is when we get used to comp and the meta kicks in (2 Soldiers, 2 Scouts, Medic, Demo). Valve really needs to buff or incentivize playing other classes. Just imagine the immediate rage quits just because one guy wanted to try Spy.

>>competetive beta requires steam mobile authenticator
I hoped it just for beta testing, if not then TF2 is dead to me and I just jump into another FPS for MM. I have a phone with the Guard on but I can't stand that Valve is pushing that damn authenticator for everything.

>>329636294
I started up TF2 the day I heard about it and it wasn't there, though. I even uninstalled my HUD.
>>329636773
They shouldn't buff it too much though. Classes like heavy/engineer/pyro are strictly for defense you aren't supposed to run them all the time and spy/sniper are for breaking stalemates. Some buffs are fine but the usual 4 should be what players are using 80% of the time.
>>329636809
It was from 8:30-10:30, you missed it
>>329636805
>I hoped it just for beta testing
It is and it's not even the permanent. It's like a couple of hours on random days.
The said they'll be more lenient once the legit beta passes come.
I haven't played TF2 at all since the last quarter of 2014 and logged about 1500 hours into the game by then. Would I still fare any chance if I got back into the game now? I was planning on it when competitive started being implemented, but somehow I didn't think it wouldn't take until 2016
>>329637080
for when competitive would start being implemented* I mean
>>329637080
Depends how much muscle memory you got. Since the beta just came out, everyone is basically on the same rank despite some players being far more experienced then others.
>>329637080
anybody has a chance at being decent, it's just about willingness to learn to work with your team.
I've seen a few people who I'd guess have about your or lower hourcount, so you won't be out of the ordinary.
>>329637080
Being familiar with the maps and decent at any of the basic 6s classes will help immensely. I was practicing rollouts again for the first time in a year and throwing strats together pre-match with my team and we rolled pretty easily.
>>329637457
you don't even have to be good at a 6s class, explicitly.
I've been topfragging as pyro the entire time, and only playing scout or soldier when somone else wants to switch class.
Tons of teams have been doing well with a full time heavy or sniper as well.

>>329637457
Alright, sounds good. Thanks, guys, I guess it might really be time for me to finally go back. Like I said, I haven't played since late 2014, but I played several times a week back when I did and could probably still find my way around easy around classes and maps alike. Nothing some practice in a local server and tr_walkway can't fix, anyway
>play matchmaking with old friends that quit comp
>we all decide to go scout to midwith 1 scout on mad milk
>completely scare off the entire team, demo did his rollout only to get shot clean off.
>all of us giggling like faggots in mumble.
>continuing doing stupid shit like 3x Natasha heavy's and 3 guillotine scouts to mid on next game
most fun we've had in years by far.
>>329635336
prevent hacking?
It was alright, sucks there was no highlander though
