What. Explosive jumping is intended. it was unintended (and even this is debated) on quake 1. Tf2 very explicitly mentions it in a lot of parts as a part of soldiers design. What is unintended are side effects like slope surfs but thats less rocket jumping and more going at high velocities on slopes at angles close to parallel to them. Hell, surfing was unintended in goldsrc, but had been somewhat canonized and intentionally kept when making source. What im most worried about a hypoethetical tf3 is engine quirks making the translation not be 1:1 but given surfing is almost the exact same going goldsrc -> source i probably dont have much to worry about.

I didn't mean to claim explosive jumping as a concept was unintended. The developers of Team Fortress 2 and its ancestors clearly had it in mind while designing the weapons and classes. The Rocket Jump Waltz ad came out before the Meet the Team series started, iirc!

The specific way your controls affect your motion while midair (i.e. don't touch W or it'll fail) was just kept from the Source engine default, which wasn't designed while thinking about explosive jumps being a core gameplay feature. A revision of midair movement physics could conceivably "fix" explosive jumping to be easier to start learning without ruining the fun parts.

Dang, I think you guys are gonna get me to reinstall this game. At least I can delude myself that I'm not literally the worst player ever in TF2.

We'll never see a TF3, but Overwatch 2 may give us some idea how well one would do, or how/how not to do it.

TF2 is always waiting to welcome you back. I haven't played for several months, but it's just a matter of time before I go on a tear with it again. Game is fundamentally fun in ways that are hard to find elsewhere.

Did none of y’all play qwtf or tfc? Rocket jumping and conc jumping seem to have been intended, and definitely were in tfc. Bunny hopping was in qwtf and came into tfc at 1.5 but was patched later to put a cap on it. It all seems consistent for the franchise

I played Qwtf and thought only strafe jumping was in it, and discovered after TFC released. Bunny hopping is a source bug.

Im more talking about in terms of tf2 gameplay.

A market gardener is intended to do crit damage while airborne from a rocket jump. So when you land you shouldn't do a crit. But the games mechanics allow you hit the ground and if you frame perfect some jumps you can bank the mid air crit for longer. this lets a soldier jump up and thread through hallways to get crit on snipers who ducked under to avoid the soldier. Im pretty certain when making the Market Gardener they did not intend for that to happen.

The stairs on Hightower were not meant for a soldier to hit with speed and glide up so that the soldier cant essentially get from one side of the map to the other. They made it so classes could run up and down.

Sure the mechanics were there but i dont think they were factored in when maps and weapons were made.The plain rocket jump, maybe. And now with all of them together we still have them around because... well... they are fun.

Yeah, the unintended discovery of rocket jumping dates all the way back to Doom. From what I can recall was not widely known when Quake was released and Quake did not really incorporate it into its gameplay or level design, but it pretty quickly became widespread and was definitely well established by the time the TF mod came out.

Bunny hopping also exists in Quake 1, but it's true it was discovered very late, probably after HL1 was released. It's not used in the "Quake done Quicker" speedrun movie from 1997, but it is used in the "Quake done Quick with a vengeance" movie from 2000.
Apparently John Carmack learned of it while working on Quake 3 in 1999, he tried patching it out but that ended up ruining the feel of general movement, so it was left in as a "please don't do this" unintended feature.

Exploration is ill-advised.
I'd say a TF3 could spin off Trolldier into its own class but that sounds like a hilariously bad idea.

Even worse idea: Trolldier+Spy hybrid.

If they did It'd better have less of a soldier and more of a human cannonball clown aesthetic for the class.

Heck yeah some new TF2 content. I particularly enjoyed the touching tribute to the scout that threw themselves into a hunstaman arrow for you, and the part where a medic was yelling at you but then was like "oh actually pretty good"

Guess I'll watch the pyro one later.

e: Ok I watched it already. Clutch reflects with the Dragon's Fury are among the finest feelings of the game.

This is a pro loadout. Congrats on the unbox!

Scorching is usually pretty high on the value chart, but I've never been able to nail down sniper effects because the hatbarons usually want less visible effects on their snipers. Still I'd guess this is a $100-200 hat if you can line up a buyer - otherwise toss it on Steam Market for like $200-250 and see if anyone snags it, and drop price by $10 every other week or so.

Lookin' good, and it's currently a 1/1. Going to say start around 85 keys or about $150 to Steam Community Market (for Steam funds) or marketplace.tf (for Paypal funds), faster/lower around 55-65 keys / $100-$120. Basis is that it's a single class meme hat with a good effect like Scorching Flames Dancing Doe, though flashy soldier hats are more popular than flashy sniper hats.

If someone offers you something other than pure keys, ask an experienced trader.

If someone tells you you need to trade it to an "item history bot" or to deposit onto a different site, they're probably running a scam.

eli-u's entire album is really good, and her dad, Gustavo "El Principe" Pena has some really good stuff.
i like the clips where i get like 4 headshots in the span of 10 seconds but really the good streaks are ones where you get like 11 in 5 minutes which means you gotta cut between the shots. feels great in the moment but alas, it doesnt really translate well into video unless youre like idk fatmagic.

heres the medic, i promise ill stop spamming the thread soon
