whats the worst thing from this MAJOR UPDATE?
I know theres a lot to pick from, but just pick one thing
strawpoll.me/10695926

>quickiebomb launcher is now better because you can lay down 8 stickies with +35% damage that don't fizzle
>shit in combat because literally half the clip with reduced damage means maybe a third of the damage output
The fuck is wrong with them?

>no viewmodel 54
But seriously, "competitive"?

well to be honest you would have to reload the new 4 sticky clip to lay down 8 stickyes
but quickie-bomb launcher was good already, this proves they have no idea whats going on

>try to find a game
>can't even get a list of options when clicking the finding button

>try to start up tf2 after a few weeks of taking a break and seeing the update
>they changed a lot of shit for spy
>don't think much of it
>click "sniper's back"
>nothing happens
>keep clicking over and over with no result
How the hell do I get used to it??

compfags have ruined tf2.

the compfags never even asked for this

Valve did
we compfags never asked for this

B4nny switching to Overwatch when?

Why do you blame them? They had nothing to do with this, use your brain before spouting shit.

>people are still too dumb to fix their hud's

as long as your hud is compatible with the new changes this should work fine

open up Team Fortress 2/bin and Team Fortress 2/tf/custom
drag your hud's .vpk on vpk.exe
a new folder named after your .vpk should have appeared

enter this folder and create a new file named info.vdf
open up this file in your editor of choice and add
"ui_version" { "ui_version" "1" }
save it

delete your old .vpk file
drag the folder named after it into vpk.exe
a new .vpk file should have appeared
delete the folder
load up the game and see if everything looks up fine

i expect any hud's which change the main menu to be borked until further notice

well fuck

not only did they bring the worst update of all time but they had the guts to call it "neato"

seriously who the fuck likes this shit besides the sperglords circlejerking about "m-muh tf2 growth"

I wanted an update, but not this
REMOVE CASUAL
BRING BACK PUBS!

I'm worried about what's coming for it now though, never used anything else since it came out.

I did it woo

pick community servers you cuck

>Searching for game
>Good amount of nearby players
>Get matched with five europeans who all have 100+ ping

NEATO
E
A
T
O

>pick 32 player deathmatch quick respawn premium enabling servers over simple valve pubs with no fancy glitter added
Yeah, nah.

I waited so long for this update to happen. I hyped it at least a year in advance to everyone who ever said something bad about TF2 to me. Now that it's out, everyone is making fun of me and the update.

>casual mode
>payload
>have to commit to two stopwatch-style rounds or get a penalty
>casual

It is the only thing i an playing
but, and i never thought i would say this, want pubs back, just select game mode and enter server, no waiting

youtube.com/watch?v=dRSW9XbXd3s
>I love this job; sunshine's free, bullets are cheap, and everybody's got a head
you forget how great sniper's character is when you spend most of the time hating what a pain in the dick he is ingame

All of the new voice lines are 10/10

Then just use the server browser you turbo nigger

>I came here to kick ass and have two eyes, and I'm all out of eyes. Well.. half out
>Dear other team: Please reach into your ass and give me my foot back. You can have it back next game.
Personal favorites

So you can't just hop into a server and play any more?

You gotta do this matchmaking faggotry?

What the fuck was Valve thinking?

>half an hour's worth of dialogue
what the fuck

they are making it similar to csgo
but worse in every possible detail
even in the "competitive" matchmaking they block dozens of cvars that have always been allowed in comp csgo like net_graph or brigthness

does this update mean I can no longer go into the browser and find comfy 24 player valve servers?

pls respond

...

>be medic
>healing a charging demo
>keep the speed of charging demo the whole time of healing him
>never goes away until i stop healing

Good job volvo

valve pubs are gone and used for "casual" matches
you'll have to use community servers instead

thanks for the (You)

>hurr durr there are no normal community servers it's all trading mlp minecraft 32 instant respawn durr

turbo nigger

>sniper never refers to you as his spotter in the lines where he talks directly to you
missed opportunity desu, still golden though

It's still weird that they're self-aware

They've always had some self-aware lines.

Yeah but they've never talked directly to the player before

then name some of these great populated servers without shitty plug-ins, more than 1-2 maps, 32 players, instant respawn

To me that's the most amazing part of this update
It takes so little playtesting to realise that's a thing and patch it but it's still there

never to this extent though, it's been toungue in cheek
>this map ain't big enough for the two of us
>go ahead, ragequit, I dare ya
>see you in five minutes
etc.
Never
>good job, you: the player, we make a good team

>all these curses and swears
What?

Fuck off shill I won't use your shitty server even if you paid me too.

Learn to use the filters you gigantic retarded turbo nigger.

I'll have about 70€, what items should I buy and sell later for a higher price?

Things like ass and damn have always been fair game.

wait, so not only did all the mediguns get the target speed matching, they also got the demo charge matching? tell me they don't also let you bomb jump with your targets

All this bitch-ery, though.

???

this post does not include any names of decent community servers, even though I asked you to name some

>solo que
>team is consisted with pyro, engineer, spy, medic, heavy
>glhf
Competitive indeed

welp

this may be the end of tf2 for me

community servers are terrible

>constant circlejerk between regulars
>admins kick you for being mean
>reserved slots
>premium features
>class limits
>retarded balance changes

>win 5 comps in a row
>not a single one is saved
>lose once
>its saved

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

The game's rated M, they could be throwing F-bombs if they wanted to

>glhf

i didnt get any fucking xp

>waaa waaa spoonfeed me waaa

>mfw pubstompers getting BTFO

why can i change my viewmodel fov or remove viewmodel anymore

>Casual matchmaking has random crits

I'm fucking done.

>Bored while waiting for a pub
>see the dumb floating emblem
>click on it for shits and giggles
>IT FLIPS
10/10 UPDATE

still no names of decent community servers

You have to restart game.
MM fuck up your viewmodel

Is this ugly ass hat still ridiculously popular?

play comp then you fucking scrub

I have a question. Are competitive servers sv_pure 2? They should be if they aren't.

I've found that most people are surprisingly honest in pub games and aren't actively cheating with sound and texture mods. However, in a competitive environment I fully expect that everybody is going to exploit every little advantage that they can get that won't ban them. I know a bunch of ways to cheat with mods, but I don't do it because I have self respect and pride in my ability to win without cheating.

>soldier's prayer and songs
holy shit

i am a white sniper shooting black cyclops hahahahahahaha i love this game

I've seen LMAOBOX in MM
i don't think valve will care about this matter.

>cheating with sound and texture mod
What?

community servers you c u c k

>dude just play without half of the game's content lol

no

I think it looks cool!

Could i wear that on a soldier?

to become maximium senpai-chan~ ?

IT'S AT 52% FOR PYRO HOLY SHIT

>I doubt valve will care
They've already done at least 2 mass ban waves of people who've used lmaobox in competitive
rip that burning team captain

I pubstomp but I'm top 10

It's all class. I think I've got the only strange one.

I don't know if people saying this are joking or not

>there are people who don't use blacklist server sites

crazy idea: group these players up 12 by 12 and put them in those servers

>good things
performance
6v6 ranks in MM

>bad things
6v6 ranks work a lot like levels rather than skill-based ranks
*long list of things that i dont want to bother typing*

>waaa waaa spoonfeed me waaa

>we want the esports audience

classic /v/

I only see question marks instead.
What the fuck is going on?

I don't have the patience to sit through however long a search takes right now, so let me get this straight:

I can't just quick play a single game mode anymore because of 'excludes'?
Presumably, I can't pick a server that's playing the map I want to play either?
And I'll be penalized for leaving fucking casual mode even though it finds new players to fill the slot?

I'd rather this update never even happened. I don't even want to imagine what Halloween is gonna be like this year with this mess.

Poor heavy didn't stand a chance, did he?

u are waiting

-Open sound recorder and record yourself saying "I'M A SPY"
-figure out the name of the spy decloaking sound effect and name your recording after it and place it in the TF2 Sounds directory
-Go only any sv_pure 0 or 1 server (which are basically all of them) and whenever a Spy decloaks behind you you'll hear your "I'M A SPY" from them.

Completely destroys Spy in pubs, but again people actually don't do this for whatever reason.

Where's medic?

somebody arrest this man

he's crazy

>not using MGS's alert sound
disgusting

185 people nearby playing matchmaking

1356 nearby looking for matchmaking game

1794 empty servers

7-8x as many people waiting as playing with a ton of empty servers

something is completely fucked

>expecting valve to have all the VAs do stuff at the same time

How much of a shitter must you be to do this? It's not like decloak sound is hard to hear.

>9003 empty servers

>I got a bucket of chicken and I'm here to kick ass and I'm all out of chicken so I lied about the chicken
What's with all the duke nukem quotes

There's only two

considering most players should be rank 0, it will be considerably more fucked if the ranks are more diverse

Dead.

It's for deaf people.
