TF2 WINS AGAIN BABY
wins what?
their competitive mode is nothing.jpg, their competitive scene is dead as dead can get
>Take nearly a decade to release competitive feature
>winning
This game still exists?
I thought Overwatch had made it obsolete.
>>344035552
TF2 is overwatch for people who cant get $40
Meh doesnt even matter anymore. Alot of players have already moved on and this doesnt even mean that comp is out yet. Whats the point of this video lol
TF3 when? It'd be nice to have a TF2 with modern graphics and optimization for modern hardware and stuff. Isn't it still dx9?
>>344035686
Most people who play TF2 can definitely afford to buy Overwatch as many times as they want, considering how much money is made off of cosmetics alone.
>>344035235
Whatever people say, TF2 will forever be objectively better than Overwatch. Sure, after 500 hours I prefer Overwatch too, but nothing Ovewatch does will recapture the fun I had with TF2.
Does this update remove all the unnecessary bullshit they shoved into the game over the year and return it back to being as simple and fun as it was in 2007?
so this the summer update we waited for it was so over hyped cool u removed for letters "BETA away from it gg why volvo
>>344035235
This game is nothing but fucking tryhards or question mark avatars.
The game's literally been at the point for years where the team with the least amount of > avatars is usually the winner.
>no more autobalance
thank god
>>344035552
>>344035686
i bought tf2 on release when it was part of the orange box
i'm not buying overwatch because why would i buy an inferior reskin of a game i already have and that i'm already pretty good at
i don't want to have to relearn everything to play the same game
might get it for free from my gm friend though, idk
Oh shit, did they add a TDM gamemode?
>>344035235
does this game have robot egyptian gods? no?
well, no thanks then.

It's not like autobalance ever mattered much on the shitty official servers.

If they made you use the original weapons in Comp then I might play it. Right now its just dead.
How many billions of terrabytes is the game now? The 3 gorillion hats and other assorted toy guns certainly don't sit under 10GB total, do they?

Cosmetics don't drop like in CS GO. You only get case drops which are worthless and you can't seel the items you 'find' when playing the game. IIRC the only time I made money in TF2 was when I sold the cosmetics that came with buying the OB, but it was like 2 bucks tops.

Actually, hats and misc items drop during gameplay, albeit at a very slow rate.
>tfw got Team Captain the day of the Mannconomy Update
>>344036478
>Though I can tell you that one has servers that aren't dead
tf2 has plenty of servers that aren't dead, unless you meant overwatch in which case that's pretty sad
>Just play both and make up your mind.
not gonna pay money for a clone of game i already have
if my gm friend gives it to me for free i might try it, or if they lower the price significantly, otherwise i'd rather keep saving for a house
>>344035686
TF2 is for people who dislike weebshit stuff, pc catering and generally dont feel the need to play a waifusimulator.
>Overmeme will be dead within months just like HOTS and other fotm shit

Blizzard needs to die already. At least Valve isn't releasing anything, Blizzshits are flooding market with nothing but shit since World of Shitcraft.

Nice try faggot, it was shit during beta and there's nothing they can do to make it not shit. The game is fucked at it's core just like Lelgue of Lesbians.
Why are people trying so hard to make tf2 still relevant. What happened to "the game being ruined because muh hats" all the sudden it's good again when overwatch is being talked about
>>344036803
It's either. The $10 thingamajig's for if you don't want to or can't give a number. Says so on the FAQ.

How the hell is Overwatch weeaboo? Because it dares to have asian characters?
>>344036738
If they're vintage (I.e. dropped before Mannconomy or some other point in time that I forgot, but there was a second wave sometime), you can put them on the market. If not, therewasSourceOP. I made about $500 scamming kiddies out of Bill's Hats and Earbuds.

i get that you don't understand anything about micro-economics being 12 and all, but responsible grown-ups try not to waste their money on stupid shit

I miss old TF2 more than anything. I really, really wish there was an option to play the game without cosmetics locally.
Overwatch doesn't fill the gap it left behind.

activision shills and blizzard fanboys coming together to make a perfect storm of bullshit
>Matchmaking is also changing the way TF2 can be played casually. Now, instead of jumping randomly into an in-progress game, you'll be matched into an unranked 12v12 game with players of similar skill. This means no more auto-balancing—you'll be playing a match from start to finish, with actual winners and actual losers.

Oh shit.
I don't give a shit about competitive stuff and I haven't touched TF2 in years, but what's that Pass Time thing about? Looks like a Bombing Run gametype or something.
Can someone explain to me what all the hate over cosmetics is for? They literally change nothing about the game.
>>344037126
you could try http://tf2classic.com/
you can also play on stock-only servers, all five of them
you can also use the no-hats mod and the no-cosmetics mod, but they're not perfect and need to be updated every now and then

This isn't enough to save it. They killed community servers. They killed the artstyle of the game with F2P shit. They should have kept the price tag on it.

>>344037245
i don't really hate them, i just mod them out
they're annoying and distracting and hats frequently screw with visibility, since valve actually did a good job of making each character recognizable based on their outline alone before hats came into play
it might not seem like much, but when you're making split-second decisions the extra processing overhead taking place in your brain can be enough to fuck you over
>>344037275
yes, it's so depressing to think that an adult might like to talk about and discuss his favorite hobby

i don't play the game anymore, but had since 2009.
lol it's still one of teh top games played on steam. so you are obviously wrong. its no overwatch, but tf2 isn't going anywhere.
http://store.steampowered.com/stats/
>tf2 is #3 most played game currently
lawl
The reason behind using a phone number with your account helps player accountability is that in order to play again you have to use a new phone number, which is not cheap to get. (as everyone associated with that phone number is banned if one is VAC'd.) I suspect 10$, being discounted, is not the final price. Instead, the final price is 15$.. same price CS:GO players have to play in order to cheat in competitive. Or use a phone number and have to pay decidedly more than 15 to get a new phone number.
>>344037152
>Implying
That only works if the matchmaking system is with no flaws. It won't. People will still go with community servers when they get fed up.
>>344037679

>>344037421
>They killed the artstyle of the game with F2P
How do those two things correlate at all.
>>344037920
more like 10-20% based on my experience
although the waifu players tend to be better, probably because they're not normies or 12 year olds
also you have a solid 10-20% of weeb players in a lot of popular games because they're us and we play pretty much every variety of game
>>344038598
But Hydro was a shit map, Anon. There is not one single thing redeemable about the gamemode itself.
>>344038598
Hydro is fucking garbage, a failed experiment with a nice philosophy but bad execution.
>>344038663
>teach new players that they exist
DON'T
please god i don't want these 12 year olds coming into the last few good servers still out there
>>344038708
i liked hydro but i feel like i was the only one
>>344038804
Except those "last few good servers" are rapidly dying off due to no new players discovering them
It's a horrible idea
ded gaem
>>344038598
>every single fucking match in hydro either lasts 30 seconds or becomes a stalemate that goes on until sudden death
yeah nah you're right it's just people being too retarded to figure out the map and that's why noone played it
>>344035235
How TF2 can kill Overwatch:
Add female variants of every class.
Add a slight bit of character customization that doesn't break away from the silhouette based identity of each class
>>344038669
>>344037920
Let's not forget the absurd amount of horsefuckers.
>>344038794
Hydro was brilliant. It was the gamemode that showed clearly who was a good player who was capable of learning new things and adapting to situations and who was just a crybaby who didn't like that there was a situation where demospam didn't work.
>>344038976
>Add a slight bit of character customization that doesn't break away from the silhouette based identity of each class
You mean like hats or new weapons?
>>344038889
not really, the servers i play on have no issues with people leaving, the new people that do join generally stay because they're good servers
i mean it's not like they're not in the server list or something
>>344038982
i try not to think about it, i even disabled sprays for that reason
it's too bad because i had a spray that i liked of mia from golden sun, it was animated and had a transparency layer and looked pretty cool i thought
>>344038960
Why did Google seed that program exclusively with dogs?
>>344039026
Actually, demospam was extremely effective in Hydro due to every single configuration of the map having a guaranteed chokepoint.
>>344039026
What the fuck are you on about? The map is a mess thanks to most fighting taking place in the connector areas, which means that demospam is in fact one of the best things to do
>>344038804
One anon in previous threads posted a good argument about the faults of Hydro. That both points in each map are considered 'the final point' for each team it means that they usually play really defensively and thus stalemates end up being very frequent.
Personally I think TC would be a GREAT gamemode if each individual round was a King of the Hill objective instead of control points. That would force each team to be aggressive and then defensive depending on who controls the central point. Hydro was released at launch and predates TF2's KOTH mode, and I guess nobody at Valve thinks tweaking Hydro would be worth the effort.
>>344039026
hydro apologists are THIS retarded, everyone
>>344039145
Hydro only had chokepoints if you were too stupid to figure out that there were multiple ways to the objectives. Anyone of the retards who tried to demospam got quickly fucked over by the smart players who took two seconds to look at the map layout.
>>344039260
yeah that sounds reasonable to me
i didn't say hydro was objectively good, all i know is i enjoyed playing on it usually
>>344039115
I literally posted a random screenshot of the server list RIGHT NOW and there is no single normal server on there that isn't Valve's or full of bots. Enlighten me of those good servers that consistently have people in it, because I think you're bullshitting me. There's very few servers left with an actual community that comes back daily.
>>344035235
>community created competitive maps
please don't tell me this is going to be like cs:go where they add a few competitive maps to valve servers and instead of keeping them to increase the map variety they just trash them and then add more on a new "competetive pass" like cs:go and then trash those essentially getting away without adding anything permenant
Why are most players so horrible? I reinstalled the game yesterday after I had dropped it around 2012 and I consistently made it in the top three players as a fucking stock Pyro (since for some reason all my weapons disappeared from the inventory) in maps I had never seen before, and I was never that good at the game to begin with
>>344037728
tf2 is a shell of itself
most people on there only do it for crate peddling because addiction or autism
>>344039337
There's a fuckton of configurations of the map that have a single way connecting the points, you have no clue what you're talking about
>>344038982
They aren't there since 2012. Unless you go in their own circlejerk servers.
>sell all my tf2 items
>use that money to buy overwatch
did i win
>>344039026
Demospam was absurdly strong because most engagements happen in the stupidly cramped connectors with a Sentry nest waiting on the other end. Pushing Hydro was a fucking nightmare, even if you and everyone else did know the map layout.

Fucking f2ps are why we can't have intelligent maps for us intelligent players amirite?
>>344035235
so let me getthis straight.
Overwatch comes out, finally puts a dent into TF2
so valve decides to finally get off their asses and add something to the game

>>344039525
Nothing in Overwatch gives me the freedom of movement that rocketjumping or stickyjumping does in TF2. Heck even Tracer feels lethargic in comparison to the Scout.
I played Overwatch for like two weeks at launch and haven't gone back to it since. The maps are shit, there aren't many of them, and the heroes are pretty dull too.
>>344039525
well you have 2 games now, so just enjoy them.
>>344039361
it depends on the time of day and your region of the world i think
the servers i usually play on are located on east coast or midwest and are most active around 6-10 eastern time
hop on at whatever time is active for you, filter by latency < 50 and not empty (and maybe not full) and sort by most players
i found like 2-3 servers i like to play on in the course of about 2-3 days that way
if you're really having trouble, try norandomcrits as an option, a lot of really good servers have random crits disabled and it pretty nicely filters out all of the valve servers and skial and other shitservers
>>344039641
>>344039641
so let me getthis straight.
FFXIV comes out, finally puts a dent into WoW
so blizzard decides to finally get off their asses and add something to the game
and people treat this like its something good?
I'd be mad as Blizzard for ignoring WoW for so long and then doing something only because another game came out.
>>344039382
They've been adding competitive maps for over half a decade. Vanguard, Sinshine (aka Sunshine), Borneo, Snakewater, Standin, Process, and Gullywash were all designed specifically for competitive.

>do not include: valve
>still get tons of servers
Gee that was hard
>>344037245
Nothing necessarily wrong with cosmetics in and of themselves, however the state of TF2 as it is now, Cosmetics are grossly overblown.
1. Most TF2 cosmetics now go against one of the design tenants of TF2 in that you can recognize the class and capabilities of the enemy with a glance. Cosmetics have gotten to the point that you can't even recognize the class, and with all of these new weapons, you're not even sure what they're capable of until they're already hitting you.
2. Shit's just bloated to all hell, not only making everything look dumb by piling a bunch of dumb shit on top of the guys, but bloating the filesize of the game and very likely reducing performance. When I got TF2 with the Orange Box, the game ran quite smoothly on high settings on an older system. Over the years of trying it out every now and then, with upgraded PC specs since the initial launch, it has been running worse than when I first played it. I blame the assload of cosmetic models and textures.
3. Tangentially related to the game, the Hats and cosmetics, the Knives and skins in CSGO, the random drops, the crate and keys, and all of that being a part of the Steam Marketplace. It's a very distasteful thing, sucking money out of many people by feeding addictive personalities. It's straight up gambling, but because of the way they've prettied it up and tossed in a couple stipulations, they get away with it just like how Pachinko machines get around gambling laws in Japan.

No, I have never gotten two classes mixed up because of cosmetics, do you have absolutely no game awareness?
>>344035235
>spam soldier to win
>>344040156
most of the time cosmetics are actually pretty straightforward. can tell from a glance the character as well as which team they are on because of the red/blue that makes up the body of each character. sure there are other colours people dye their cosmetics but it's still straightforward who is who and who belongs to who.
overwatch's cosmetics have already gone full fucking retard and there's no respect for colour palette in that game.
>>344040247

>>344040268
Not "mixed up". Unrecognizable.

>>344037586
this game's characters are so cringy
>>344040682
So you're telling me that it's not that you just got two classes mixed up, you're telling me that you see another class in the distance and you literally can't recognize what class it is.
No, that has never happened to me. I'm finding it hard to believe that would happen to anybody.
>>344040268
not that dude but what he's saying is you should be able to instantly recognize a class based on its outline alone
like, in the space of the time it takes for the picture of the class to reach your brain
i mentioned this in an earlier comment, basically when you're making split-second decisions the small bit of extra time it takes you to recognize class + shit can be the difference between making a good judgment call and a bad one
>>344040772
Not enough gigantic butts for you?
>>344040830

The fuck?
>>344041012
i'm not saying you can't recognize them, i'm saying that the cosmetics and hats make it just different enough so that it takes an extra few fractions of a second to recognize a class
that doesn't seem like much but in the context of an fps, it can mean a lot, especially if you're playing competitively

This is so retarded I'm having a hard time understanding if you're serious or not.
No, it does not "take my brain an extra few fractions of a second to recognize" ANY class with ANY cosmetics.
I don't even need to speak from personal experience anymore because you just said another incredibly retarded thing.
If this "meant a lot, especially competitively" like you say
DON'T YOU THINK COMPETITIVE PLAYERS WOULD HAVE ABUSED THAT FACT AND USED COSMETICS IN THEIR ADVANTAGE TO CONFUSE THE ENEMY PLAYERS?

>>344041568
you sure are upset about this for no reason at all
valve outright said in the developer comment nodes in-game that making the classes recognizable on outline alone was one of their design goals
hats disrupt the outline of the class and in some cases cosmetics do as well
you can argue that the difference it makes is insignificant if you want, but it's just a matter of what i believe. i was only pointing out why i disable cosmetics, if you think that's dumb, then that's fine, i don't care.
as for competitive, i thought certain hats and cosmetics were banned from some tournaments for exactly that reason or something. idk, i don't really pay attention to the tf2 comp scene, but i thought i had heard that.
>>344040521
Overwatch's characters are so radically different in shape, design, even every animation is unique that even with dramatic outfit changes, you still can tell who's who from a great distance away.
Color palette on the model doesn't mean much as OW's means of distinguishing enemy from ally is in putting a blue or red outline around them.

Stop posting, I'll stop responding to your retarded opinion now
>>344040865
that can be easily fixed
>>344042121
>"I think I'm right thus I'm right, you can't say I'm right leave me alone"
yes, that is generally how it works when i'm merely explaining my perspective and why i do or don't like something
i'm pretty sure the original post was something along the lines of "why do people hate cosmetics" and my response was "this is why <reasons>"
like if you disagree with those reasons, that's fine, it doesn't change my mind

some of them very, very clearly do

>TF2 is for people who dislike PC catering
literal worst post i've read in weeks
TF2 already became shit few years ago, and some lame competive mode isn't going to save it or make it any better.
>>344042881
Overwatch is not competitive at all either
it is more casual then tf2
and tf2 is super casual compared to cs 1.6
>>344043343
i never used the word competitive you fucking retard.
to say tf2 has no pc catering makes no sense.
the console versions were literally fucking abandoned.
>>344042794
He didn't even mention overwatch, your insecurities are showing anon
>valvedrones brag about TF2's server browser and custom servers

yes I see how much you enjoyed your server browser and custom servers, nice 'competitive' mode aka matchmaking, buzzwords really work for marketing don't they

Overwatch isn't killing tf2 it got some players to move but the same amount of people are still playing it.
This already kind of exist in community servers and it's called dm
>>344036360

What is broken about it exactly? Is it just the supposed forced 50% win rate or what?

Servers without it suck ass.

It's like you don't play it.

Seems like we are getting some neato balance changes tomorrow, b4nny (comp player) confirmed it.
>>344047829
>hey said ages ago that comp is going to have spesific weapons or just vanilla weapons
but it won't
TF2 takes way more skill than Overwatch
There's much more room for outplays and twitch trickery
Not to mention the hitboxes and networking are leagues ahead of babywatch
OW is good if you're 12 and waste your life fapping to high school safe space animes
TF2 is for tough big guys with a sense of humor
Andbronies unfortunately
>>344035686
Overwatch is TF2 for people dumb enough to shell out $40 for an inferior product
>>344047752
http://www.teamfortress.com/meetyourmatch/
I have both and playing overwatch just makes me want to go back to tf2 tbqh family
for some reason overwatch just doesnt feel like a "real" game in comparison to tf2
>>344046645
Not him, but the main problem with it right now is sudden death. If both teams win on a payload match, regardless, they do a coin flip to decide which team attacks and which defends in the deciding game. Everyone hates this because it's pretty heavily favored towards the attacking team, at high level play it's essentially a lose every time if you lose the coinflip.
That and the progress you make each game is pretty fucked, at high level if you lose a match you can lose enough progress to undo your last 4 wins. You have to a have a winrate of >80% to comfortably rise in the ranking.
>>344047918
I'd post shittons of the overwatch pony art I've seen, but, I'd get banned for it.
>>344047770
Rebalancing patches always make me nervous.
Like they're going to buff soldier (more) every time it happens and nerf anything I like.
It's rarely anything good.
EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Have you seen pic related?
It's what's coming tomorrow.
>>344048156
>, regardless,
*regardless of how well each team does
So you can stomp a team with 6 minutes to spare and they can eventually scrap up a win after 2+ minutes in overtime and the game will still be decided with a coin flip. But enough about OW, this is a TF2 thread.
>>344048321
why is soldier covered in birdshit
>>344038130
I bet over half those people are also on trade/idle servers.
It's impossible to find any good servers. Or, at least it was last year when I still played.
>>344037728
>tf2 is #3 most played game currently
>free to play
lawl
>>344048321
Heavy = Trump
Pyro = Hillary
>>344047348
There's no auto-balance, but instead they attempt to make even teams from the start through matchmaking.
>>344048394
Because he painted the wall with birdshit?
>>344047880
sauce: your ass
fuck off
>>344048321
We are having a war bois.
This could mean having new weapons for both the heavy and pyro, along with some heavy rework of both.
Get hyped.

This pic is accesible by modifying slighly the current update page's pic's url.
So yes, this is legit.
>>344048594
Nope.
It's bound to just be more hats and more soldier weapons.

>Trying to do the WAR! Update again except with Heavy and Pyro (two of the worst classes)
yeah valve are creatively bankrupt at this point, but at least they're trying
>>344035686
Bzzzt wrong. Tf2 is for people who want to play the good game that overfail ripped off.
>>344048321
But heavy is a soft counter to pyro. I guess that means no kill counters for the war.
>>344048321

>>344048952
Well, maybe it'll have an actual user votation

What the fuck happened to the Engineer vs. Spy War?
That would've been way fucking better.
Why are we getting Heavy vs. Pyro instead?

I don't know how long you guys will be able to keep making these miserable threads.
Literally Anons are shitting on you left and right.
I'm just joining the fun while you guys try to "G E T H Y P E" for TF2 COMPETITIVE. Like anyone here can give two fucks, save being annoying from your viral marketing threads on /v/
>>344049148
>Engineer vs. Spy War
It was just Gun Mettle which gave them major class changes.
Heavy and Pyro will just get big class/weapon changes, the reason it's getting their own page is because people have been asking for this for years.
