This sounds pretty cool but I'm not sure it's cool enough to reinstall the game and put up with the dumb matchmaking poo poo

it would help if the game wasn't such a gigantic, bloated mess nowadays

also if heavy had actually gotten something different for a primary, but, i guess we'll have to wait 2 years more or something to hope for that

good to see valve are still 100% incompetent at handling cheating

Had an aimbotter who changed his name to someone else's and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to identify which one I'm reporting, since the list on the report screen doesn't show their avatar or anything. when it's difficult to even report people it's no wonder script kiddies are a goddamn plague

yeah but the heavy got a banana. look at the yeti

it took a while but i'm glad valve was able to set up a successful front for their money laundering business that they operate on the side. probably didn't need make it take up so many gigs, though.

yeah i kind of wish valve would do people a favor and tell them it's on life support instead of this 'totally an update coming any day now even though it's been almost two years since the last one' vague bullshit that people have to kind of assume

just don't bother, really

it would probably cause a shitstorm if they announced it but part of me would hope they would at least respect the playerbase enough to tell them literally anything instead of just flipping on holiday poo poo to drain more money out of people

i used to very regularly topscore as heavy or the soldier using purely the stock shotgun (& rocket jumper as soldier) to the point where people would accuse me of hacking, so i can personally say that it's still one of the most useful shotguns i've ever put to use in a videogame and if someone still wants to spend time in tf2 i would say that getting friendly with the thing will not steer you wrong

also as a general tip that applies to the shotgun along with other things that do burst damage is to not try and 'follow' opponents with your crosshairs because you'll have to constantly overcompensate and keep track of where you're pointing at any given moment. instead, 'flick' your aim at where they are when you want to shoot but don't keep your sights targeted on them the entire time. in retrospect this might explain why some people thought i was hacking and then spectated me because it probably looks really weird from the outside to see someone's character model jerk around like that.

despite all the odds that 4chan party van server was actually pretty okay the good majority of the time and when it wasn't it wasn't really any worse than uh. well. the average server in an fps game.

valve has already shown to be awful at getting rid of hackers in tf2 for years so i genuinely wouldn't touch the game right now unless you really want your computer to be remotely set on fire

an optimist would maybe say that this would inspire valve to do something with tf2 for once but i'm prepared to assume that they would rather just shutter the game than lift a finger, lmao

from the dota side, rubick's original voice actor passed on a while back, and valve memorialized his passing by slamming out a $35 arcana with a voice pack done by a completely new actor

In what world would this make Valve pay more attention to TF2?

they use it purely as a means to squeeze money out of people who haven't yet realized that tf2 is dead and if that cashflow dries up then they might wonder what happened

which is probably more engagement than there is right now of 'occasionally grunt and kick out a new batch of hats made by people who don't even work at valve'

It's weird to see people legitimately wanting to nerf the pyro as if he wasn't a sitting duck for most of the 4 actually good classes in the game.

i said what i said because i like using the dragon's fury a lot and i hate things where you just hold down a button and run at people. part of me feels like if the pyro had been built from the ground up with something like the aimed puffs in mind then maybe it wouldn't have ended up such a weird and stupid class to balance.

I think that's understating things. Heavy has a very low skill ceiling, it's not really a complex or interesting class to play.

actually heavy with a shotgun is the most skillful class in the game

You even get a one-shot kill in the form of your fingers.

it's impossible to counter a heavy using exclusively the shotgun who has up to 450 health and good aim. this is a fact.
