There is nothing wrong with casual mode, besides the queue times. They're even adding the ability to select a certain map soon(tm), just so crybabies like you will finally shut up. Stop crying because it isn't what you're used to, if you want to pick and choose a map immediately, just play on community servers. God, you're all such brats.

Gorge is one of the best looking maps in the game, they just have bad taste.
>>148355743
We were talking about Casual, not competitive. 6v6 Gorge was a mistake.
>>148355903

So do you like the update? I haven't tried the casual mm yet and I'm a f2p, but I love the mini viewmodels.
>>148356584
The update is alright by me. I just wished kiddies didn't immediately abandon every time the game starts to look slightly bad for them.

>>148356771
I'm sorry. Every time I go medic in matchmaking, my team doesn't protect me, so I usually swap back to scout or something else I'm bad at.
>>148356778
Nah. I like playing random maps, it's fun. I realized I had pigeonholed myself into only playing certain payload or KOTH maps, so it gets me out of that little zone I had going.
>>148356835
I'm bad, though.
>>148356771
It's easy to blame medics when you and the other players have terrible aim.

Yea bro I love playing half a payload game.
Nothing wrong with that at all!
I've never actually gotten into a normal CP map so I don't know if it works the same way.

>No soldier stash

>>148358003
I've actually mostly played complete rounds of payload. I do agree that Valve should rework that, though. Also, yes A/D CP works the same way. If Blu captures X points in Y amount of time, Red has to do it faster in order to win when the teams switch. Things like PLR and 5CP and CTF are best of 3, though, I dunno why the inconsistency.

tagg says Valve is leaving fps configs behind so they can standardize bug fixing and optimizations
>>148359595
how? do they collect performance data from people in MM? that would be the only valid explanation
standardize me
>>148357235
Go fuck yourself with a cactus, conagher
>>148359808
It's because FPS configs make your game even more unstable so Valve can't get accurate and reproducable bug reports
am i unstable
>>148359904
"more unstable"
i only ever get under 100 FPS when in MM
in viaduct its mostly around 160 on average and down to 40 FPS in the midst of action
>>148357235
>No more double zarya or double winston + double lucio + double tracer
>Overwatch casual is literally more casual than tf2 despite being an inherently more competitive game
Come on valve you're supposed to make people want to play the game again, not funnel even more people away.And one of the community servers I've gone to for a while went sort of pay to win
So...
Why are you guys still playing this game?
I would've thought hats and cosmetics would've killed it a long time ago, but no, it's still there.
Is it still genuinely fun for you? After almost 10 years?
Did you start near release when you still had to pay for it, or after it went free to play?
Genuinely curious
>>148360037
More unstable as in you're basically turning off important shit when using FPS configs

stack

easy as that
>>148361108
i personally think there are two kinds of games in the FPS genre
>"just shoot" games
>movement games
TF2 and Quake Live being the latter
you can actually get a good positioning instead of just peeking and one-shot kill anybody
large health pool i think is great
>>148360197
I like dress up games.
>>148361534
>stack
I have anyone to stack with unless I posted a request here
Reminder that this update is shit.
Comp is shit, it's always someone leaving midgame and making the rest leave because 0 xp loss.
Casual is shit because not only you cant choose your map anymore or have to wait 5 minutes or more, but also if you join midmatch you get 0 points, so yoi cant even help the team you're on
Balance changes were utter shit. Few of them and they were all pulled out of there asses like the quickie bomb launcher change or worthless like the crit a cola and shortstop changes.
It's all a big fat mess.

tagg assumes Natascha and Brass Beast got nerfed because they found in the MM beta that Natascha Heavies + Vacc medics were OP as fuck

I more meant he's hosting a talk with the devs.
He dropped TF2 several months ago, back whenever the closed beta came out.

Star is unironically the Egoraptor of TF2 video makers.
He's too childish to realize the reason people don't like his new videos as much as his TF2 videos aren't because they don't have TF2 in them, but because he's genuinely a worse videomaker than he is a commentator and he won't look at how well Jerma's non-tf2 videos do because he wants to keep believing that it's just because it's not TF2 anymore.

He makes one video a month on average now, a stark drop from before, and spends his time streaming instead. The problem is he went from a genuinely nice guy who was cool to be around to a mopey depressing faggot that's negative about fucking EVERYTHING. He can't even talk about Overwatch without talking about how bad parts of it are.
>>148364981
Remember when Egoraptor did the Tester shit and it was pretty okay?
Star_ hasn't had enough time to become full egoshitter but it's very clear he's on the path.

>In 2011, we added a feature to Steam that enabled users to trade in-game items as a way to make it easier for people to get the items they wanted in games featuring in-game economies.
>Since then a number of gambling sites started leveraging the Steam trading system, and there’s been some false assumptions about our involvement with these sites. We’d like to clarify that we have no business relationships with any of these sites. We have never received any revenue from them. And Steam does not have a system for turning in-game items into real world currency.
>These sites have basically pieced together their operations in two-part fashion. First, they are using the OpenID API as a way for users to prove ownership of their Steam accounts and items. Any other information they obtain about a user’s Steam account is either manually disclosed by the user or obtained from the user’s Steam Community profile (when the user has chosen to make their profile public). Second, they create automated Steam accounts that make the same web calls as individual Steam users.
>Using the OpenID API and making the same web calls as Steam users to run a gambling business is not allowed by our API nor our user agreements. We are going to start sending notices to these sites requesting they cease operations through Steam, and further pursue the matter as necessary. Users should probably consider this information as they manage their in-game item inventory and trade activity.

Doesn't seem to be the case, Marketplace.tf is in the most broad terms a trading website, in which you trade your currency item at a guaranteed rate with another item. No part of that has to do with gambling, there is no chance involved, so the steam API calls it makes aren't specifically against this portion of the user agreement.
AFAIK the calls marketplace uses, scrap.tf uses, tf2outpost uses, and backpack.tf use all are intended consequences of allowing API calls to the steam database.
That said I'm not affiliated with Valve in any way, I'm not a lawyer, and I haven't studied the user agreement so strenuously that I can say definitively that those websites aren't breaking the agreement.

of you want a WWII pyro you need to lose the air raider and replace it with either Foster's Facade(painted a brownish color) or the Mair Mask. and get yourself a Nostromo Napalmer

I started playing pretty much the day it became f2p. I was really excited for it, I had been wanting to play but I was a college poorfag. Played it close to every day for like two years after that, then on and off with short breaks in between.
There are valve servers in the serverbrowser.
When I joined one, it said something along the lines of
>server has been hacked by so and so
Is that actually possible?
>>148377498
and exactly how is the combo bad? It follows a theme and neither does it break the character's asthetic.

>pyro mains want stickies to be disabled for a second or more after being reflected
