I haven't even been able to queue for a casual match yet, the queue header pops up but then immediately goes away. Guess I'll just wait on a surf server until this all works lol

Updated the autobalance feature to more quickly respond to team imbalances
Will select the best candidates to balance the teams then ask the candidates for volunteers
If no volunteers are found, candidates will be switched when they die
If no candidates die within a reasonable period of time, candidates will be forcibly switched to the other team

Did they just fully revert the autobalance system?

That's because surf is a cs game mode, not this lovely cheap knockoff.

What the gently caress... surf isnt to cs like bhop maps are, surf is fun anywhere

and here I was hoping the game was dead enough that people would stop pulling that bullshit

If anything it's more likely to happen the deader a game is. It reminds me of the story about the single guy who made Titanfall 1 literally unplayable

Just the medic left now.

"How it feels to play medic" already exists and it is truly something to be felt.

It's not perfect but it's worlds better than the current rules where it's either ignore the objective entirely or the match ends stupid fast

In a perfect world the teams would just autoscramble on the next round if it's a complete steamroll with everyone playing until the server map time runs out instead of the map just ending and everyone immediately leaving

The only change sniper should need is to not be able to headshot while flinching. Suddenly every major complaint I can think of about sniper has a valid way of dealing with it.

That will definitely go over well for the class that is the second most targeted class in the game

You're right, it would! It'd make not being an open target a needed skill and add an actual way to fight hackers. Forcing snipers to reload wouldn't solve any issue that happens the other 90% of the time they can shoot

I don't even consider it a nerf, it's an aspect of gameplay that already happens (headshotting while flinching is already really difficult) but is made consistent. Flinching is real short iirc, if you're under enough constant fire that you are flinching 100% of the time you're already effectively nullified. I didn't mean to make it sound like it's just to nerf for combat hacking

Tomislav

this just reminded me of a really wholesome conspiracy theory i once heard: valve intentionally made the tomislav OP on launch (75% faster windup!) so that more people would buy it from the store because one of the cocreators was actually 15 yrs old when the weapon got added, so they were getting the kid more residuals

If touching the intel just to reset the clock is a problem, then my idea is to (very subtly!!!) make the time to pick up the intel inversely proportional to the return timer. 1 tick as normal when recently dropped, to under a second when it's about to expire.
