It's almost as if people who say "tf2 is dead" actually mean "I don't enjoy it anymore", but feel the need to make it some kind of universal truth. Nobody's denying that the TF2 scene is missing some good things that it once had, but the core is still functional and fun and the potential for regrowth is still significant.

I don't know if it's an issue with the game itself or my laptop or what, but TF2's gradually been running worse and worse for me. It used to run just fine and I'd get an average of 80 fps, then a month or so ago I started getting problems where every so often, my framerate would drop to ridiculous levels, the game would lag like hell and the sound would completely glitch out. It'd last about 10-ish seconds and then go back to normal like nothing happened. It was annoying, but didn't happen too often. Now my game's stopped doing that in favour of stuttering now and then and sometimes just completely freezing at random, forcing me to have to tab out and exit the game. I want to believe it's something easily fixable, but considering I'd have the laggy glitchy sound problems in Minecraft occasionally too, I fear it might actually be my laptop dying.  For reference, my laptop's a HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j051ea Notebook PC.

Tonight I joined a Valve 5CP server and there were 3 or 4 decent people on both teams and then some not so good people to fill in the rest. There were no sentries at first point until necessary, there were snipers and scouts that were good enough to be infuriating, each team had a medic. It was just a spontaneous thing and I had fun. After that, I went to a couple payload and CP servers and they were full of high ping idiots. It was awful. I told some friends it was TF2 time, we filled in both teams, and we lead our pubby squads against each other. I put some effort into creating a sense of teamwork and it became fun. It is 1 am and there are 57,000 people playing Tf2. Tf2 Center has 400 people currently playing or looking for lobbies. I don't really have a point except that you're all babies.

xzzy posted:Look out boys, we got one of them PRO PROGRAMMERS in the house. "a full rewrite of the game into a new engine is beyond any amount of effort they've put into the game in years." is wrong. Rewriting the game for a new engine is a ton of work but 2 bad updates doesn't erase the eight loving years valve have put into this. Also Overwatch is dead because I hate it just like how TF2 is dead because people in this thread hate valve servers.

Hello! I am from the future year of 2016! We are still playing the dead game of Team Fortress 2. There is still no competition. Valve's last event was underwhelming again, but hey, they keep trying.

I can't remember whether this was posted earlier or not but a guy on TFTV found a way to get translucent viewmodels as long as you're running DirectX9. It's unironically one of my favourite TF2 "updates" in the past year or two. Dr. Dos posted:To be fair it's pretty dumb the number of disadvantages you'll have playing tf2 with default settings vs knowing what they're for and do. I don't think "Everybody has the same FOV" is a horrible design choice. Definitely agreed when it comes to network settings and stuff like that, and I guess I can get where they're coming from re: fixed viewmodel size as a balance mechanic, but FOV really should be an adjustable value. 80 isn't too bad, assuming it's being calculated a similar way to TF2, but I'd want it at least at 90 if they're going to lock it down. I mean TF2 lets you run 90 even when there's a class whose whole gimmick is sneaking up behind people so I don't see why you need to be more tunnel-visioned than that when playing Overwatch. In any case, whether they change it or not, we'll see how it plays when the beta comes out in ~6 months. I'm really looking forward to giving it a spin.
