If I had to guess it's because the non-factory new ones were only recently changed to be able to spawn so there's less of them

That being said the patch today already reverted it so that they're always factory new and old ones will be changed back so :shrug:

you're better off backing off and trying to hit with a flare gun since that'll also crit and it puts some distance between you and the now upset enemy

if you're playing to sneak up on people you may as well be running the backburner since that'll kill anything in 2-3 seconds

my favorite thing about jungle inferno was how it was first teased almost a year before it actually released

Pyro with phlog or backburner is so fun and makes people so mad when you're good at it

i think expecting valve to care about tf2 at this point might be a bit too optimistic

why think about tf2 when they're got their next cashcow, a dota 2 card game to worry about

I'd rather valve gracefully (as gracefully as they can with a game that's over a decade old) end content support and move on than hope beyond hope that eventually we'll get an update that'll somehow make TF2 magically relevant again

Pyro has incredible close range dps while still being relatively fast and not being restricted to a clip size, the only problem is that getting that close usually kills you but invulnerability solves that problem completely

The only option is to equip the backburner and play Pyro like God intended you to play, by flanking the enemy team and melting them*

*this assumes the back detection works as intended, which is basically never

If faceit attracts and holds a large enough community it could really revitalize interest in this game so I hope it does well, even now there's really no game that scratches that tf2 itch

Valve has effectively gotten all of the supposed "benefits" of running NFTs without dealing with a lot of what people are pushing back on. People have "ownership" over their items (which never leaves Valve's control and doesn't actually belong to the end user) and they can sell them to other people through a controlled marketplace, of which Valve take a cut of each transaction. There's even unique identifiers and artificial scarcity to drive prices higher.

As much as I was looking forward to Meet your Match it definitely made the game feel a lot more stale and was probably the update that ruined it for me. I never really realized how much TF2 was both a community and a game to me and that's what made it so appealing, and with the matchmaking update the community is gone and only the game remains. Sure there are still some community servers that see people but not in the same way there was pre-mym, where the maps you played were left to the rtv vote and whatever admin felt like putting in, and you would see a lot of the same faces and names when you joined a server. TF2 just feels so empty and emotionless to me now.

Also we're never getting the last issue of the bimonthly comic and that's the biggest sin of all.

The halloween update has been out for a few days (and includes some fun zombie infection maps!) but the game is mostly unplayable due to the amount of bots present
