>playing comp meme maps
>don't want to play serious

when i say "serious" i mean having to gather a group of 12 people to fully commit to a match, abide by 6s meta etc.

>you successfully bomb the medic, and know you're about to die, but you still managed to do it

>process
>meme

no way

if there's any meme map, it's cp_steel. memiest map for the meme comp mode.

Post good loadouts for your favorite classes:

Heavy (pocketed)
>Huolong, Steak, KGB
Steak combined with KGB does the kick in the gameplay for me most of the time. Something got close catches fire or gets crit punches to the face. Trick is convincing your medic to check behind while you check what's above you and evade divers from upper floors.

halloween was the best time of the year for tf2 when they added bosses
now its just lazy shit like every other update

>you are not connected to the TF game coordinator

I've been getting this since yesterday

What do

is there a way to remove the spy disguise logo that appears everytime you disguise?

Relaunch the steam.

yes

I seriously thought about adding jump pads for engineer, please tell me your thoughts:

>pushes you a bit farther than a horizontal rocket jump, think about from spawn to the ramp on process last
>takes 5 seconds to reset
>engineer can put down two of them at max, both cost 50 metal

teleporters don't work in 6s because each time you capture a point, you have to move both the exit and the entrance teleporter. With the jump pads, you can put one down at last, and at second. They work independently of each other.
If you lose mid, then you can take the one at spawn to get to second faster. If you win mid, you spawn at second, and can use the jump pad to get closer.

Also, the engineer can put down two pads, have 100 metal to put down a dispenser, and then pick up an ammo kit to have a minisentry at mid. If you lose mid, then second has faster spawns effectively, and a dispenser that gives health and ammo.

I'd love it if we could get some new skinned weapons in here. Or you know, that pyro update.

when will trading be back
I need to buy stupid shit

What are your honest expectations for Halloween this year, community update or otherwise?

What maps do you want?
What do you think we'll get?
Spells?
Will we get the pyro update alongside it?

Personally, I feel like I've seen a stronger desire for steel than any other map. There are tons of unused stuff from the community, so I hope they don't skimp out on new items this year.

VNN speculated that based on some details, the pyro update and halloween update might be patched into one.
Hoping for a reskin of a 6s map, maybe cp_processed_event, you could call it cp_processed meats, and have a gigantic grinder in IT
Really I'm just looking forward to gameplay changes for a more competitive experience

Prefer me for what?

Also, which coat?

the strange one

>got the [hun] team again

insulated

>process as a meat processor
No one agreed on my idea of making a cp_lover map but i love me some map puns

Map's up with real lighting now:

216.52.143.247:27015

what is the point of this map?
is it just for a trade/idle server?

It's a 5cp map that I'm building so that I'll have a good place to frag while still spamming my trade bind, and when I'm tired of fragging I can walk through the teleporter and go to the quiet trading area.

I think I'll release the 5cp portion as a standalone as well.

>Spy and pyro to mid
>Heavy to mid
This is why Valve 6s is dead. It's full of shitters who complain about the comp meta being "stale" then have no understanding of team composition or why the meta is what it is. A good demo will shit all over a heavy with a pocket medic. Two good scouts to defend your flank and harass the enemy flank do way more than a shitty spy or pyro could.

6/10 only because you have aussie which automaticly makes you 50% more sexy and cool.

shit hat
shit shotgun
shit melee

I'm saving up for a pro kit to change that shean. That was just one I happened to have in my inv at the time.

I normally run with the rake however. Also a collectors. As for the getup, it's surprisngly hard to find a getup that works with the attendant. Don't think I've seen another unusual wearer who dosen't have the lunatics with it and dosen't look like complete shit

man i thought all tf2 players were virgins
how come everyone has their gf pocketing them

they're online gf's so they don't count

>faggot enemy spy disguised as you spams teamchat with stupid voice comments with your name and destroys your mysterious silent type personality

you mean autistic retard personality, you fucking retard toad

What do you think will happen next year for the 10th anniversary?

nothing

a blogpost titled we're finally pulling the plug

birthday mode enabled a day late because they forgot

We'll probably get another gift pack with one of those name tag and description tag things. I like those for the backpack expanders.

Oh, and we'll probably get a noisemaker or maybe a new hat.

you're in deep and have no idea if they are actually idle or not

Vote yes, it's probably just another gibus.

you give the deciding vote of yes and he is kicked
he was actually the only medic on your team and was top scoring
with no heals, your team gets pushed back to last

WHAT DO YOU DO

Click Tab and check where they're at in the scoreboard

If they're bottom 3, good riddance

>after more time goes by try again well explaining to just look in spawn when you die he's not moving

Switch to a class that doesn't need heals to do well. If he were healing you, you'd recognize his handle anyway.

>Overwatch Open being broadcast on mainstream television
The times sure are changing. Shame TF2 can't keep up.

>tfw no major esports networks

To be fair, TBS is a channel that appeals to college/high school age kids, which is also the target market most e-sports appeals to. Maybe in a few years, they'll claim a spot on ESPN or there'll be a e-sports ESPN branch.

tfw better than all of u idiots and i dont even play thsi dumb gaem

Use it to brush your teeth

Ugh even the TF2 General is all about competitive now. What kept TF2 alive for the past decade was it happy-go-lucky style of instance gratification and people having fun just fucking around. The more they push Comp the faster TF2 will die.

i haven't had fun in video games in about a year now
should i come back to tf2 or is overwatch just killing it?

tf2 is still fun, overwatch is way more casual and easy, like retarded baby easy, so no, it's not killing it in any way. if anything, if blizzard doesn't allow community servers like tf2 does, it'll be in danger of shutting down forever should they decide the game is no longer profitable and shut down the central servers. that's not something i see happening to tf2, even if valve shuts down their servers, which i don't see why they would considering the game is so fucking profitable, there's still community servers and people dedicated enough to keep the game alive. people who say that overwatch is going to kill tf2 or that tf2 is dying are just memeing.

I'll settle this.

Consider this: No one is playing tag in my room, therefore tag is dead. If I start playing tag with anyone and they play with me, tag is alive. Substitute tag for any game.

someone asked me to play on a team for them

how do i git gud

Genuine curiosity: what's the reason why you're still playing TF2, a 9 year old game? What makes it more appealing to you than other modern fps games?
For me it's a couple of reasons:
1) it's a challenging game and it requires great game sense and skill
2) it doesn't revolve excsluively around "muh team organization" and "muh hero pick", becasue TF2 is a good compromise between team play and individual value.

it's fun
all of the characters are well written inside the game and in the comics
getting a +2 while playing soldier feels like I just creamed in my pants and actually plays a huge factor in a match
despite being almost 10 years old it looks great on high setting because of the cartoonish nature, hiding it's age significantly

well a big part of it is because it's free and it can run on my piece of shit toaster.

but really, a huge part that keeps me coming back is the comedy. not just the funny characters and the funny things they say, but the fact that the most bizarre and out of nowhere things can just happen in this game when no one's being too serious. i like how there are these unspoken truces you'll sometimes get, the ones that last for entire matches where an enemy team member will do nothing but give you a thumbs up and say "thanks pally" crack me up for some reason. i feel like you can't really do anything like that in overwatch, like i haven't played the game, but i imagine the biggest "goofing off" thing you can do is stack your team full of the same hero.

but i think the single biggest thing is the sense of progression i get from playing it. i can feel myself getting better and getting more into the groove of how to play things every single time i boot up the game and that is an amazing feeling. getting slick headshots or crazy airshots, even hitting a long range crossbow arrow sends me to the fucking moon because god damn it, i worked for that shit. it just feels good to play.
