I tried playing on the Uncletopia servers, but the time I'm on seems to always have folks who are extremely good at the game absolutely rolling the lobby. Scouts with 100% meatshot hit rate, snipers that can hit headshots with ease, explosive classes pulling off Titanfall level aerial maneuvers, etc. Meanwhile I think my PC is worse at running TF2 despite being several upgrades from a decade ago. I'm struggling to get shotgun hits at mid-range that deal more than 15 damage at a time.

Ahh, so right now rockets and stuff can end up in that zone under the stairs, where they don't do very much, and they want to be able to splash them off the outside of it

hoo boy, returning to TF2 after a long time and trying the casual servers. I was never a great player, but the amount of engis turtling in their nests at the final control point (before we've even lost mid) or teams made up entirely of snipers/engis/spies are like a flashback to my earliest days in TF2. Still a great time, just need to figure out my way around the new maps and git gud.

Been thinking of TF2 again with the sudden spike of popularity, thinking back my favorite all-time play that wasn't messing with my friends, was playing as a Spy disguised as a demo or heavy and convincing a random enemy medic to ubercharge me and follow me in for a push, on the open mic the medic is yelling at me to DO SOMETHING as I bring him deep into the "enemy" base and I slowly turn around and undisguise myself as the uber wears off.

I loathe pyros that use the basic flamethrower or the degreaser and do nothing but spam airblast, totally wasting your class's potential there's nothing that quite compares to that innate sense you get when fighting a soldier or demo about when they're going to fire their rocket and nailing the airblast more than once i've gotten right up in their face and hit the airblast button to, the instant that rocket comes out, PING! and a shower of gibs....

There’s intent by me. There’s other places where I do have it and a lot of these were conscious decisions. The reason the map is so loving wild with little oddities is from the insane iteration and testing we did here on SA. Like 24 solid for an hour every day for 5 months like I don’t even get a whiff of that in my job I took it for granted back then!

One of my absolute favorite 1v1s is pyro v soldier because it's nothing but mindgames and footsies but if a pyro can just right click over and over again it kinda kills that

Being charitable, maybe they were worried about getting snagged on props and stuff as they move around there.

The one thing about cp_steel I'll never understand is the spawn being up on that ledge inside the spawn room. Not a serious impediment to anything, it's just a choice I don't understand the rationale for.

Not a serious impediment to anything, it's just a choice I don't understand the rationale for. It's because spies can get into the BLU spawn if an engineer cooperates. Having the spawn be up on that ledge prevents a spy from spawncamping too effectively.

The staging area where an engie can build a teleporter exit isn't the spawn room though.

Not a serious impediment to anything, it's just a choice I don't understand the rationale for. I would be lying if i remember the reason. Lots of vestigal elements in steel that at SOME POINT served a purpose. Funnily enough looking back on the whole thing I would actually make the entire spawn room on the other side of the train tracks. Since it's always better to have your spawn points FACE the objective innately when possible.

I do like Steel quite a lot, it was very unique compared to the other maps when it came out and I appreciate the variety of routes that a lot of people otherwise find confusing.

I think it's more like about 40 cents though after all the percentages and taxes hit it.Personally I think it would benefit all community map developers if the hat effect scaled in some way according to how many stamps you have in total, and amount of maps.

This is a dumb question, but is there some kind of community server that's more casual than the casual servers? Somewhere chill and low-skill. I hit my skill ceiling a long time ago and everyone's waaaay better than me these days. Only way I can have fun is by goofing off and playing hoovy.

Skail is a very easy set of servers. I’d say it’s probably as easy as casual during prime hours, not less, but they fill out teams with bots in off hours so you can easily say it’s easier then.

I thought it was weird that they included cashworks but now that I'm seeing it again and feeling a genuine sense of nostalgia for my time spent on a map I know isn't very good, I'm glad the author finally got paid for all those good times.

Like Ster, Jerma, and other folks I'm back playing TF2. What are the community servers that will eat me alive? I saw someone mentioned something called Uncletopia? Relatedly, I'd be up for some goon events. Does it cost about ten bucks a month to host a server somewhere? I wouldn't mind doing that, it'd be great to play sixes or something with folks.
