DMZ in MW2 has bots kinda like attrition but I generally dislike single-life modes and stick to domination/hardpoint/etc

All I want is TF3 with attrition/hardpoint/CTF but it’s pretty hard to imagine it happening these days :sigh:

On PC during the height of the attacks you could maybe get into a game but everyone would get disconnected shortly after it started, and server location didn’t seem to matter much. They either fixed that or the attacker stopped, so once you’re in a game it should be good, but the sporadic timeouts during matchmaking have been happening ever since.

Bounty hunt was never the flagship mode or pushed over attrition, also it's a better game than 1 :colbert:

TF2 MP has been playable (on PC at least) for years, the attacks weren’t that long lived

There was a persistent matchmaking timeout issue where you’d have to re-queue a couple times before getting into a game but that might be fixed now? I didn’t see it last night but I only played a couple games

The changes are server side, there is no client patch. Calling a matchmaking fix and some playlist changes a “massive update” is a big stretch.

Also claiming the game has been unplayable since 2021 is pretty weird since I’ve played many times in the past two years!

That said, it is nice to see it getting some attention, even if I’m skeptical it means anything.

Clearly there was an issue considering how many people were not able to play many times in the past two years, to the point that the community made its own mod to enable separate, custom servers.

I think a lot of people confuse the matchmaking timeout issue with the attacks and assume the game is/was unplayable. At least in my experience it was just an annoyance; sometimes I had to re-queue a couple times before I got into a game but once it started everything was good. It was tough to get some of the less popular modes going but attrition was generally fine.

Northstar was started during the time of the attacks, but I think its continued popularity is mostly because it can do things vanilla TF2 can't: dedicated servers, custom modes, mods, no unlocks, etc.

Regardless, it's nice they fixed the timeouts and I can find CTF games much more reliably now.

The new EA WRC game is using Unreal, and it’s not even full of monetization nonsense (there are season passes but only for cosmetic stuff and you get it all for free if you preorder)
