Is there a mod that leaves in "good" hats

>tfw no strange widowmaker

i wish there was

it's barely more than a key
how poor are you

Very

saved

the picture?
how new are you

straight from r*ddit

overheal medigun idea continued from last thread >+100% ubercharge rate
>-overheal rate slows down from normal speed to -125% based on overheal percentage
>+25% max overheal
>ubercharge is sectioned like the vacc except into only 2 parts
>activating an uber locks the target's overheal so it doesn't degrade anymore

name: pop n' lock

Yea okay I realized this actually just does not not have redeeming qualities

-75% min overheal rate is slow enough

sounds pretty useless really. if it overheals slower than stock there is just no point since you could practically give players permanent overheal just by healing them. i don't really understand why it would overheal slower at all when just having no uber at all is much fucking worse

Gonna find a 2fort game and see what memes I can see

It overheals slower because the max overheal is increased

But yea I probably overdid it, even in the revision

The idea was sorta that you could give scouts, engineers and snipers a a nice thick coat to hold them over while you're busy with the real classes

I'm having a hard time really imagining how it'd play like. Maybe just make the overheal lock a passive feature and give it two minicrit mini-ubers or something

what about making the overheal permanent and still take awhile, but if you use an uber it instantly overheals

>mfw I click a bunch of heads in a row

>what about making the overheal permanent and still take awhile
That's what I meant to imply in my previous post, not sure how that was unclear

Insta-overheal seems like a neat idea but it feels too similar to the quick fix. I'm trying to keep it a bit original I guess yea the mini crit thing would be similar to the kritzkrieg too but eh

you mean first and only one who cares

oh god that xboxplayer
i legit lost my shit when he stared at him

thank you for posting this

>join pub
>see this
@_@

the weiner hat fits the artstyle and theme of the scout fuck off

Friend has an unusual haunted scrap. While it can't be giftwrapped and traded anymore as of February 2016: If we craft the item into the Headtaker, will it be tradable then?

all that means is that sniper has been on the server all day. you can be dogshit but if you're on a 24/7 server long enough you get points

No.

Hey I was in that game!

Okay. But can the UHHH itself be giftwrapped and then traded? Or is the item just untradable these days?

Pretty sure it used to be giftable, but wiki says it ain't.

it still looks fucking stupid and it's all class now which makes zero sense

the class distribution is what triggers me
server browser is now the official "choose your 2fort - hightower server" service so theres not much to choose from anyway

Well that's retarded.

That's why i started playing valve MM. Might be shit at balance, but you get a good map and 5 other people playing to win (usually).

...

why not just help him kill a HHH

its the only thing trading servers were ever good for was having an available HHH to fight

...

He has the metal since 2011~.
I traded my UHHH for like 3-4 ref back then, when it wasn't worth more.

i wana chew on his hyands

>paddie is playing IM next season

as scout

>that ending to the second video
thanks for posting

i miss my mann co hat s an alternative gibus
its scrap is now in the first item i made way back when, a widowmaker

i want your honest opinion on this guys

strawpoll.me/12208365

why are badlands snakewater and viaduct in reserves baka

how much do keys go for in paypal in this current year
i havent played since like, october

probably the same amount you can still buy them for in the stores? what the fuck mate why would they rise in price, $2.50

like 3 cents but I'll give you 5
check your PMs offer only goes today

im talking in paypal you newfaf piece of SHIT

Not everybody would want hitsounds or damage numbers, and most wouldn't understand how med binds actually worked
On the other hand, there is NO REASON to subject people to a 75fov, and improved net settings would be recognized only by some of the most hardcore players

75fov is preferable if you have a small monitor

if 3:4 ratio 98 is the sweetspot, 108 for widescreen, 75 is only good for far as fuck away like on couch
youtube.com/watch?v=blZUao2jTGA

I said small why are you talking about aspect ratios

was this all just a big lie?

soon(tm)

no that'll be next year's smissmas update

>it saved the game
>clearly its the problem

>3:4 ratio
what
that doesn't exist

its not hard to figure out he was talking about 4:3

how about ipads

Share loadouts you use for classes? Here a few of mine:
>Scout
A: Ayy-ayy-ayy
>Force-a-Nature, Crit-a-Cola, Sun-on-a-Stick
Cola will give you higher FaN jumps because it increases your movement speed. Sun-on-a-Stick is just for not dying to afterburn.
Crit will give you some uneven advantage but you'll be easy to roast somewhat. Especially if you get blistered by a flare. Crouch alot.

B: Boston Backstreet
>Scattergun/Backscatter, Winger, Boston
I generally use this one to dick around really. Winger for higher jumps then Basher self-hit to lift it up.
Basher can be used to help uber builds if you need to organize an attack. Backscatter is for messing Snipers actually.

C: Flying Chopper
>Soda Popper, Flying Guillotine, Sandman
Sand+Cleave combo is for filling the Hype meter easily. Popper can give you a hand when fighting projectile based classes.
Hype pretty much all around general purpose thing to abuse flank routes, or get around the Sentry fire line.

D: Sentry Dasher
>Babyface's, Bonk, Wrap Assassin
Bleeding from Wrap bauble will sustain the Boost from Babyface's so you won't have to suffer "no double jump" meta.
An accurate bauble shot will give 55 damage for free. Bonk will make you keep the boost and dash next to Sentries to infiltrate the base.

E: Alimony Tracker
>Shortstop, Mad Milk, Fan O'War/Candy Cane
Dedicated Spy chaser, not much to add. Shove is for interrupting their sapping FoW and Milk for tagging them.
Remember to check ammo spawns nearby when he feigns. Cane will drop a healthkit when he's really dead.

ok
that doesnt exist IN TF2

did you just type all of this shit you fucking inbred subhuman plebbitor
not reading this crap
heres my loadouts
>Scout
A: Stock - winger - basher
B: Stock - crit-a-cola - wrap assassin
i dont really use the others

I don't actually know the settings for interp
i had it on my laptop but its been a while

from comanglia config:
cl_interp .0152 // change to whatever you like for certain classes projectiles/popping uber/flames = .0152 hitscan = .031 on bad connections = .062

pretty sure the default is cl_interp 1, but i feel liek projectiles take longer to "be fired" on interp 1

Tempted to open unlocked winter cases, how bad of an idea is it?

>how bad of an idea is it to gamble on a ded gam?

idk you tell me

>dead game
The games below tf2 aren't considered dead.

>Mecha Engineer's model says 'Engineer' on it in moonrunes

wow so tf2 was an anime all along

>looking at numbers
remember how looking at numbers was also valve's idea of balancing guns
they almost buffed the reserve shitter because of numbers
tf2 will never have a good update made by valve
it will all be community updates with maps and cosmetics and weapons and unusuals straight from the workshop
valve is so lazy it takes them ages to fix even the simplest and most common bugs
heck, they cant even make a proper anticheat system
its a ded gam

i don't think the game is dead but i don't think this is accurate. i think valve is fluffing the numbers. first of all, i only ever find 8 - 30 players searching casual at anytime, then ingame its commonly a 3v3 or only a bit more. okay maybe people arent playing casual, but that can't be right either since community servers have maybe 400 players in all servers. where the fuck are all these 50000 players?

Were you high while writing this incoherent mess, user?

mostly idle
if valve removed idling somehow, the player numbers would probably be half of what they are

i assumed by small you meant nonwidescreen, 800x600 resolution specifically, not a fucking radio television. most people don't have such a small monitor though, even laptops have bigger 4:3 ratio monitors

>MEAT vs MATCH
god damn im fucking slow i just got this shit

where are they idling, private servers? and what are they even idling for, its not like hats or anything drop anymore just fucking crates and weapons. literally one cosmetic key could be sold for enough metal to trade for every single weapon in the game

economies of scale
you might only get pennies per week per bot, but if you have thousands of bots idling at once it's a pretty decent return for the amount of work you've invested

>team has 0 snipers and spies
>pick sniper because my aim is kind of not shit today
>17 more snipers join our team

i play 800x600 @144 Hz on a 18" screen
resolution isnt always representative of the screen size
there are many different sizes for 1080p displays for example

a thousand pennies in a week is still only ten bucks, seems like a huge waste of time. but i will never say the game isn't dead because there is a supposed 50000 playerbase i never see because i know its just a couple of idiots who think ten bucks is worth a lot of fucking money

>do good as X class
>loads of shitters pick X class
has always been like that, except for medic

>Fucking around as spy
>Team holding their ground
>Suddenly notice we've been pushed back to last and can't push back even though I just got a sick 4 man chainstab
>Check scoreboard
>Most of the team is now spies because I'm somehow the topscore
Every fucking time. I just want to be a useless fucking spy, I'm not even good at spy.

did this match just happen? thanks for switching to med

HOL UP
*trades cosmetics*
YOU BE SAYIN...
*idles for 4 hours*
WE
*scams an 11 year old*
WUZ QUAKE N SHIT

Nah, this was ages ago. We lost because I didn't want to play soldier or something.

only happens for classes people think they will do good for. so easy as fuck luck based classes like sniper, spy, and engineer, and nothing else

You forgot soldier. Soldier is a really easy class to pub with.

>join server with shit map
>dominate half the enemy team
>everyone leaves
feels good
if only those people left to join an actual good map

>fucking around in a shitty map bc tired ofall the tryhard solly mains in badwater
>another faggot joins the enemy team, starts playing shoot floor to win and dominates half my team
>have to leave bc half of my team left
why are soldier mains such tryhards?

>go medic because team needs one
>everyone fucks off and goes in their own wild directions
>people ignore the spies and scouts which are going for me until i'm dead and/or they're being targeted instead
>soldier rocketjumps away from me and dies to a sentry like 10 seconds later
>gives me shit for not following him even though he flew over half way across the map

>play demo in pub
>just left click and right click with stickies
>idiots walk into the stickies instead of shooting them or going another route
>"Wow user sticky spam is just slow no skill required"
>some teammates go demo
>they camp retarded places and surround themselves with stickies
>nobody ever comes

play comp TF2 (not valve mm comp)

>losing to sentry
>team is 6 spies/snipers
>aha this time it'll work
>it never works
>it never works
>it never works
>maybe this time!
>it never works
why the heck do they keep doing this shit

...

>wow our spies are shit and aren't doing their jobs
>i bet i could do better!

impressive very nice

>when you see a pyro run around a corner and call out for help so you chase after him but it turns out he used the help voice line to mask the sound of him taunting with his phlog

>Chasing anyone around a corner
I've been trickstabbed too many times to fall for this shit again.
