is TF2 fun again? asking for a friend

>have to play literal 2farts 3 hour games to advance to next contract
what the FUCK

not really no

can i claim rewards (blood money, cases) from contracts more than 1 time, or when its done its forever?

lol stupid question

yes its fun as always

>can i get infinite blood money and get infinite free items
lolno. this is valve

cooling
his brain runs superfast so it gets hot

Uploaded a properly rendered version of the demonstration vid of shitty flame stuff:
youtube.com/watch?v=2MgEeuJr684

valve pls fix

i fell asleep right after the post
i have no idea why but the flames show on every dxlevel i tested, they didn't when i started the game up the first time after the update yesterday

i also did performance benchmarks if you're interested
-dxlevel 81: 2639 frames 11.768 seconds 224.25 fps ( 4.46 ms/f) 19.022 fps variability
-dxlevel 91: 2639 frames 12.478 seconds 211.49 fps ( 4.73 ms/f) 15.117 fps variability
-dxlevel 95: 2639 frames 12.621 seconds 209.10 fps ( 4.78 ms/f) 14.871 fps variability
-dxlevel 98: 2639 frames 12.652 seconds 208.59 fps ( 4.79 ms/f) 15.305 fps variability

do you have graphics drivers installed

it could be using some fallback mode where it just draws a transparent overlay on the screen instead of using a monitor color profile (or however it normally works)

How the fuck do I invite people to a party in the new interface?

>you can't even use the GRU regularly without it fucking up your health
Well there goes using that for my banana contract.

let me know if you find out

>can't make strange kritzkreig with paints

can't devalue those now can we, fellow trader

oy vey you'd crash the market for investors like Geel :^)

Why can't I just apply warpaints to existing weapons?

>join upward
>enemy team has 5 snipers and 5 engineers
>our team just has 6 pyros that feed them kills
fucking great

please delete that picture jesus christ please i'm begging you

where do I go to find people to help me out with contracts

Who are you talking to?
You'll have to reply to that person to get a better understanding :)

>eat a samich around the corner where 8 people from my team are
>they let a letranger spy walk to me and shoot me to death

dunno man. every map both teams seem hellbent on just fucking each others shit up and preventing contracts from getting done

And with a fire shield no less.

I will never understand how someone can do that, especially that weird momentum jump.

lucky shot. inb4 webmfag calls it calculated

no its actually worse than ever. i hated spy/sniper stacks but it was never this fucking bad. at least a spy or sniper could deal with a sentry. every server your team will be 9 pyros constantly just flinging themselves into sentries, never switching because they are all trying for some contract, i cannot be the only one absolutely furious at how incompetent the teams can be. it is always a roll, literally every game. not fun to win, especially not fun to lose, no incentive to have medics because so many pyros and how the new heal debuff works (you heal way less while hit with afterburn). its literally just engineers, sentries, and a spy that thinks he is hot shit, every fucking game. it is plain infuriating, i say wait at least another fucking week if you are really curious, you have until february of next year to complete the contracts and they take less than a day to do so whatever take your fucking time

But your brain would just fall out, that's not how cooling works.

>no incentive to have medics because so many pyros and how the new heal debuff works
Lets not forget the fucking retards that use that rake

Isnt the rake good for uber building,

>concerned about building uber in a 12v12
that shit only matters in 6s because the medic can keep 5 players constantly buffed, you will always have someone to heal in a 12v12

Did the inferno update break HLDJ? Mine stopped working and I can't figure out why.

Not when I'm playing triage with 9 other shitheads slamming their E key.

Oh Im more refering to just jumping like that, I don't get how people get that level of speed and turning.

Why not uber the best pyro then?

every soldier airshot has a part of luck and a part of real prediction
but its mostly prediction

>people moving before game starts still not fixed

didn't they say that was fixed in the patch notes?

>going medic with no powerclasses
nah fuck no. pyro can make a decent pocket but not in a server with no powerclasses. it is more effective for me to go demoman than it is to go medic because there is no guarantee that uber wont just be a complete fucking waste with the pyro stunlocked to a wall either by sentry fire or because 50 pyros are denying the uber with airblast its a fucking mess

So what are the objectively best builds for pyro and heavy after this shit update?

What the fuck happened to scramble votes?

rewards one off, you can reactivate later to go back and get bonus stars you missed but thats all you will get. Also you can pull it up and swap wich one is activated in the setup phase, so you can make sure you have an offense contract for offense and then switch to defense when you go to round two.

...

It was supposedly fixed long ago, with demoman unable to sticky himself towards the door.

Yet with that MYM bullshit and longass match intro, people are moving before everyone else.

Which Heavy secondary is the best now? The banana? Or should I just go with a shotty?

scrambling was removed with meet your match update

Can you fucking people be less obnoxious?
Thank you.

>Enemy team gets a crit
>50/50 it will hit me and only me even if it doesn't, or it'll totally kill everyone on my team including me
>I get a crit
>I'd be lucky if I damage anyone, let alone kill several people with it even if I actually do hit someone with it
Seriously. 10+ fucking years. I forgive them for other things, but what has been the No. 1 most complained about thing, the mechanic that consistently leaves people frustrated and perturbed? Random. Fucking. Crits.
Oh, sure, not being able to do anything after the Scout stuns you with the Sandman got fixed, but waiting 25 seconds to respawn and then walking out of your spawn to eat a crocket and then having to wait another 25 fucking seconds to continue playing isn't a big deal.

Is the campaign pass worth the price?

There are some patch notes about changing the way voice chat works maybe they killed it. Use the other program, Just cant remember the name for it

>fire particles look like garbage in first person
anyone else having this problem?

stop screenshotting me please thanks

if you feel like playing this game with all the retards AND added "challenges" which are basically just "be good," than yes it is worth.

Virtual audio cable and foobar2000.
Route your output from foobar to VAC. Use some shortcuts to play a playlist or something

>this mad
>spawn camping him stop his sentry from ruining the fun anyway
>set up rancho relaxo in spawn while sentry continues to increase kill streak

dragon fury + flare gun - casual
stock + gas can - competitive

tomislav + banana - casual
stock/tomislav + sandvich - comp

Post your Completed and Available contracts
>Completed:25
>Available:83

Forgot my picture

Banana > Sandvich

>Muh crutch rocket doesn't have skins
What a SHAME.

I HAD 1,35M EXP, ENOUGH FOR 3X 150 LVL
WHERE DID IT GO VALVE
WHERE


hldj doesn't work with the new codec. use VAC instead.

All of them.

...

in casual when you dont have a medic yes i completely agree. in comp when the sole purpose of holding sandvich is to be a portable medkit it is better as banana drops small health kit while sandvich is medium

Does anyone know how long Jungle Inferno campaign is going to be?

yes. it says so on the pass

I checked 10 seconds after posting and realized that I'm retarded.

Because each paint is manually implemented on to each weapon, rather tastefully I might add. This aint some shoddy Fallout 4 mod where the players just slap a texture on a gun.

>paying $34 for a virtual paint that isn't even good
Holy fuck people are stupid, this is the real reason Valve can get away with anything, braindead shitters throw money at them constantly

I got like ~50 done yesterday

Thats how much I got.
He paid $40.

>Pretending like the soldier class takes skill
When will this meme finally die out?

is there an official list of new bugs somewhere? i feel like 80% of shit is somehow broken

look at the patch notes. Anything you see "fixed" is broken

do bonus objectives reset if you reset the mission before the game is over

His profile, with the name and shit withheld to protect the memey fuck.

that idea dies when you realize that just because something else takes even more skill doesn't mean nothing else takes skill

jesus christ
