So crowb cat released a TF2 vid comparing old TF2 and the most recent version. What do you think?

https://youtu.be/w1W5DU4zmAA
>>
They probably removed some of the little details like rotating revolver and syringe gun to make the game run better for lower end machines, so they could get as many people to play as possible.

Also the thing where you can no longer pick up weapons for ammo was in the patch notes ages ago, new players were dumb and didn't know they could get ammo from them so they figured it would be better to just have ammo boxes fly out of people who died.

Valve doesn't give a shit about this, unoptimised hats have been killing performance on toasters that used to be able to run the game fine for years.

This was the last straw for me with this faggot crowbcat. He knows nothing about what he's talking about. I despise team fortress 2 but at least I can be fucking objective. What the fuck was the point of this video? A pathetic attempt at acting like the game is worse 10 years later because a few extremely minor not even noticeable in game changes were made? Are you fucking kidding me?

Do you literally just sit at home thinking "Hmm, what massively popular game can I gather videos of from ten years ago to compare to today in hopes doing so will make people think the game sucks today?" Your life legitimately must be pathetic.

Every game this fag shit talks literally proves him wrong time and time again. TF2 is no different, as it's popular as ever. Go take a look at the steam charts of all these games you Fucking delusional morons...

Truly makes me laugh how people can watch this idiots videos and just sheepishly nod their heads in agreement when he hasn't made ANY legitimate points. No one who plays TF2 cares about the coloration of a part of the weapon... has zero effect on the gameplay. Get a fucking life, this is the type of faggot that literally jerks off to videos of Ubisoft downgrade compilations.

Actually, that was only half the reason for the change

The other half is that they added the ability to literally pick up weapons with a key that would change your weapon out for whatever you picked up off the ground (assuming it was still usable by your class)

That was part of the reason. The other part is that now you can pick up enemy weapons and use them (provided you're the same class/your class normally uses it). Kinda pointless since you lose that weapon on death, but some autists were sperging out because people were using their golden weapons.

I don't think the question "is valve optimizing a game a bad thing" is an important question.

>new players were dumb and didn't know they could get ammo from them so they figured it would be better to just have ammo boxes fly out of people who died
What's funny is that this is how it was originally done in QuakeTF, a backpack full of generic ammo would fly out of their bodies. The only real problem here is that the ammo boxes in TF2 have physics applied to them so they constantly fly the fuck around if there's explosions and shit going on, making it hard to run after them.

The whole OW v TF2 situation seems so strange to me, I don't think there is much player overlap going on.

>>382140351
Making money for Valve. Once they've made TF2 free to play, they realized the vast income from retards who buy hats for 200 bucks. I think Gabe's entire advicesor board consists of sales analysts at this point who took over, because Valve hasn't done anything consumer friendly in the fast few years. There used to be a cvar back in the day that was built in by a dev to disable all hats from being displayed, but then they made that a sv_cheats command and forcing it on gets you banned. They also made replacing the hat models with dummies a bannable thing. Then they also banned server mods that would disable hats or put the game into a vanilla state. Then recently they picked up CS:GO, which is basically a rebranded and failed version of CSS for the xbox, which wasn't even made by Valve, just because they saw the potential of making more profit through that.

Valve just isn't what it used to be 10 years ago, they seem to be entirely focused on profits profits profits and profits now for the least amount of work.

Better contrast.

Squint your eyes. There's no reason why you would need to see those huge white lines on the minigun. Brightest thing on the whole screen, besides the sky.

Look at the bridge. The improved contrast shows that you can jump on the roof, otherwise they would have made that dark as well.

When the Demoman bottle breaks, it implies it does less or more damage than before it was broken (depending on how you think about it).

All improvements.

Like Battleborn?
>>
>>382139735
No, no, no, no, no.

All of these weapon changes were made during Gun Mettle. Because of the introduction of weapon skins, a lot of changes had to be made to the weapon view models and behavior. They changed the lighting on weapon models so that skins wouldn't look like shit. They removed the ability to turn weapons into ammo because they added the ability to pick up weapons so you could steal a weapon with a fancy skin. These also affected animated/dynamic weapons like the revolvers and Demo's bottle breaking. Heavy no longer takes a bite out of his Sandvich anymore either. It's always whole.

I don't know where from the depths of your ass you pulled any of this shit out of. You did no research. You just fucking guessed. You had no idea why any of these changes were made.
>>
>>382143545
That backs up my thought that the game going free was a bad decision community-wise.
>>
someone post some epic tf2 sfm xD
>>
>>382139080
I think a lot of the changes that have been done since 2007, especially for viewmodels and how the texture and lighting are done, is because of how they've constantly had to rework how all of the visuals are coded into the game. The updates that added all these different killstreaks, reskins, and such to the weapons played a big part of this.

>>382143079
You'd be surprised how useful that can actually be in certain situations, especially if you're a medic because you can pick up another person's medigun and keep their ubercharge meter.
>>
>>382141964
Would appreciate if you manage to find one for the Loch n Load. Thought the weapon was fine with only two but I guess the devs thought differently.

Pretty sure thats the whole point right there, my dad's HP used run this game no problem when I was younger, now it would be unplayable on the same system. They added a bunch of over the top cosmetics to sell to retards only to realize that most of their audience can't even run the game anymore. So they drop the quality of base items that they don't make any money on for better performance.

To be fair, this is 10 years of differences being shown and a lot of the changes that's pointed out have been incremental since then. I'm pretty sure the stuff about the weapons not having the same lighting or minor details anymore was done as recently as 2014 when they started putting in weapon skins.

That's just a change in lighting engine reflecting poorly in that specific example. Certain things here are understandable from an optimisation point of view, such as the removed sapper props no longer existing, but most of the smaller changes probably meant nothing in the long run. The newer lighting system looks better in a lot of the cases shown anyways, with items not having unnatural light sources illuminating them for the sake of making them pop.

I think the main reason they added it was so you can steal weapons with fancy skins. I think they justified it to themselves by saying that there are so many weapons in TF2, they could add some depth to the game by letting players steal different weapons and hotswap their loadouts on the battlefield.

Either way, its a stupid feature nobody uses. Weapon gibs were nice. Running over weapons for ammo was fun, especially as Spy.

>>382139735
I could be wrong here so someone correct me if I'm wrong:
It's because a while ago they changed (most) of the weapons to be the same model for first person and in the third person. They were originally separated models with v_shotgun for your viewmodel of the shotgun and w_shotgun for the world model of the shotgun as an example. Now they made it so it's a universal model called c_shotgun, so it uses the same model for third person and first person.

I'm glad TF2 is finally starting to lose players.
The game has lost its soul for years now, and each update has been making it progressively worse. The last few have sapped out so much fun out of the game because they've been trying to appeal to competitive faggots that make up the minority of players and CSGO autists.
The game I used to love and put over 2,000 hours into needs to die.

There is a mod called Team Fortress 2 Classic that tries to replicate this along with adding a quake like deathmatch mode.
Main issue is that they added some unnecessary shit like weird weapon ideas or beta shit (aka nail gun for scout and a weird battle sniper rifle for sniper) and that it's basically dead.
They do have the kritzkreig in it along with being able to haul buildings and backstabs not forcing a 1 second animation on you.

Meh. Yeah, it kinda sucks the fact they downgraded those little details but I really don't care about it, if this video was never posted I would have never notice any of this and even after watching it, I still don't care about them because it doesn't affect the gameplay.

Several years earlier, as a matter of fact. I wasn't here when it first launched, but that was more so because I was a console gamer until late 2010. Still, I genuinely can't find an issue with modern TF2 other than the focus on weapon reskins and all that.

Because they did so well at launch, they needed little in terms of gameplay updates.

The game still plays fairly similar to 2007 ignoring the cosmetics.

You still have sticky smpam, rocket jumps sticky jumps heavy crouch jumping to evade snipers, spy trick stabs.

The fact that they're completely redoing and outright nerfing the majority of weapons for the upcoming update shows how much thought and care they put into that 'content'. Wasn't it after the Uber update that it took them a year to even add kill icons for the new weapons?

What I am saying is the game has hardly changed so it is hardly different gameplay wise to today.

two isn't enough to destroy a level 3 sentry that's being repaired by an engie, plus they changed the weapon entirely so now its bonus damage only applies to sentries rather than in general.

heavy severely needed that update instead of pyro. now we will have to wait a year for heavy to get updated.

When I was new I used to think that a broken bottle did more damage so I'd stay in spawn and hit the nearest wall until it broke before getting out.

Cloak & Dagger was a fun combo, especially with the taunt while invisible but Dead Ringer, while extremely good, it turned playing spy extremely easy, forgiving and rewarding at same time.

How is that better either? You can see the spy push the actual bullets into his revolver in the original animation, the new animation masks it by having his entire hand cover the cylinder so it's reloaded when his hand moves away.

The changes were made over time after Valve decided to make the game more and more bloated due to constant content (hats) being added in. They needed a way to keep the core game running smoothly while still keeping all the shit they added.
The way the video is presented makes it seem like one dramatic patch. All of those changes were done over years.
It doesn't surprise me, and it doesn't particularly matter to me.

Because the moment it obscures the screen you're either likely to have killed your enemy or be killed by them? And because such animations have their purpose and pretending that being given more of the screen so that they can mask their animation laziness is fucking retarded?

I know! We can have all weapons in our modern FPSes just dip below the screen for reload and come back up with full ammo, like we're in the fifth gen! That sounds fucking brilliant!

Wrong, good spies reload regularly during fights because you get perfect accuracy after reloading. This is something spy mains complained about for months because you couldn't turn on auto reload either without it taking up your screen all the fucking time and no other class had this issue.

>And because such animations have their purpose
What purpose? So you can get a close up of the gun? The bullets being removed and reinserted is all still there nothing has disappeared. Who the fuck smacks themselves in the face to reload a revolver and facing upward so the bullets can fall out?

>We can have all weapons in our modern FPSes just dip below the screen

It isn't a scout or medic or something that has a plausible hope of escape and an extended reload. The spy's reload is momentary and if reloading was going to kill you then you were already dead anyway assuming the other player wasn't literally braindead.

Reloading doesn't cost anything in TF2 dipshit, you can cancel any reload animation in the game. Have you even played this game before? I already listed reasons why spy would want to reload during battle and why no other class has this issue, the only reason you have for why they should have kept the old reload animation was so you can get a close up of the gun disregarding how unrealistic and stupid this looks.

It's become clear to me at this point you are just looking for an excuse to bitch and you don't have an argument.

Nope. A half dozen buttbuddies who ran or otherwise knew those who ran the trading sites back then would regularly jack up the key value and since they were pretty much the majority holder of loose keys in the community, no one could stop them.

Jarate is minicrits on command, plus it nerfs pyro because you can put out fire. Making a tier 4 class even weaker.
Natascha slows you down, everyone hated it
sandman stuns. Stuns are cancer in a game built around quakestyle dm.

Please get more than 3000 hours in the game before you talk.

I cant defend Sandman cause Stuns are pretty bad
>>
this is a very unpopular opinion and i am not saying it to instigate anything just to bring my thoughts to the thread as someone who has been playing since around 2009. TF2 was ok at the start but some of the first class updates really did add much needed things as people have already discussed in this thread. the initial alternate weapons for each class were also fine. even hats and misc items for a bit were okay in my opinion. even when the game hit free to play other than the community getting worse the game was still playable. it was only whenever idling was killed that the game died for me. it was around the time of the patch that changed the drop system to not stack items up for idling for hours overnight that they began to hand the game over to reddit and stop supporting tf2 as much in lieu of dota 2 and esports. when we got the beginning of the current patch style where everything gets changed for not much reason and weapon identities get completely lost or thrown away for a bunch of tiny adjustments on each one. the split of the equalizer was the beginning point and the rest of what i named was the final nails to tf2.
>>
>>382161247
The only scenario someone is going to be Jarate'd if they're too close to the sniper and the Sniper being slow, has no way of escaping and is still not going to kill you by himself even with Jarate.

Natasche is shit but not problematic

Sandman is a literal gimmick weapon and a downgrade over bat in every way.

from the wiki

Changes to the system
Main article: Item drop system
On April 20, 2010, Valve altered the drop system significantly to address its issues. The system now 'rolled' to determine when a player's next drop would occur, as opposed to the previous method of rolling to determine if a drop would occur at all. The changes also included an increase in the frequency of item drops, and an introduction of a weekly item cap.
The cap prevents items from dropping to players who have more than a certain amount of playtime per week, overall reducing greatly the effectiveness of idling. Although Valve has not released any specifics, the amount of items a player can earn in a week is estimated to be around 8-12 items.
On July 17, 2013, the way items are acquired has changed. In order to get an item, the player must be active, meaning they have to be:
Connected to VAC Secure server.
Responding to in-game drop notifications while not utilizing external programs to do so.
Running only one instance of the game.
Not running the game in textmode.
Meeting all the criteria, earns time towards the next random item drop.

so i guess 2013 is when it really died for me. it wasnt this update by itself that killed the game but if you check close afterwards you will see the list of very questionable balance changes following this patch. for example about a year or so after this they patched demoman to have to wait a few seconds after firing to be able to detonate his sticky bombs and then changed heavy to have to wait to get full damage on his gun for a second. they reverted demomans nerf that day but kept heavys nerf. if anyone in this thread hasnt played tf2 i will go ahead and say that heavy really badly does not need to be nerfed. he is already one of the most overnerfed classes in the game not to start a shitfit on who has had it worst since it is everyone at this point. but mostly heavy pyro and spy
>>
>>382150542
To be fair, Pyros fucking primary is bugged in the range department depending on lag issues. This is a literal game breaking bug that needed to be addressed right away. Besides, Heavy at least has A role. Pyro doesn't really have one that other classes can't do better.

Valve didn't do it out of freewill, they were forced to by the government of Australia and the EU.

>No more greenlight.

It only took them 4+ years to figure out that the system was a horrid idea that has filled Steam with 7000+ shovelware tier games. Sadly the new system is only slightly better, but not what should be expected.

>not comparing current Valve service to other sale platforms like Origin

Origin has an actual customer service department. Valve's customer servicee was so bad it got an F by The Better Business Bureau. Not saying Origin is great, but in many cases, it's ran by a company that actually knows how to juggle human resources and not just understaff shit.

One of few Crowbcat vids I kinda disagree with.

Some elements of 2007 TF2 were better, yeah, but not all of them, and this makes it look like every single change that was negative from 2007 to 2017 was only done in the 2017 build, as if it's a statement against modern Valve.

As a fag who's played since launch many of the changes he shows came as early as 2009 and the weapon animations changed in 2014. The video makes it seem like 2007 TF2 was the same for 10 years until June 2017 fucked it all up.
>>
>>382171424
there's actually a mod that does that. i think its pretty good to, once its updated for the recent cosmetics
>>
>>382147545
Maybe back then.
Nowadays +50 hp would still be considered underpowered because it can't airblast, which is about the only reason anyone plays pyro anymore.

Even then, it was probably fine back then too, but everyone is so quick to bitch about anything pyro that nobody would have been satisfied no matter what they did.
The fact is that it couldn't airblast back then and it didn't take the community long to realize that the airblast was more useful that the flamethrower itself.

People that want to experience cosmetics can just leave theirs on though

The only class that shits on soldier is demo and the only class that shits on demo is soldier, because every other class gets nerfed or is unchanged while they get buffed.

In terms of actual meta and playing efficiency the only three viable classes are soldier, demo, and medic. Most people in official competitive do not play anything else aside from a rare scout.

I don't know man, they had among the best devs around back in the day, artists, animators, progammers, writers and so on. They threw all that away to become the largest game distributor on the PC market, and at that point they limited themselves to buy ideas (cs, dota) instead of creating them. Funny thing is I'd do it too if I were in their shoes, even if I disagree with it. Valve needs a wake up call, something that threatens their money, only then they would maybe start making games again.

To anyone looking for a much more simpler TF2 experience, look no further than the Team Fortress 2 Client by Abscent. It's a standalone, portable version of TF2 that was created when you still had to pay for it (circa 2008).

If you play it while Steam is running, you will have access to any items you own that were implemented at the time. The only downside is that you have to host your own server to play with friends.

Valve isn't even a game company anymore, theyre just neogamestop.com. they dont give a shit about their ips and certainly dont give a shit if their 10 years of updates actually downgrade gameplay and graphics. Game sales on steam pull in 100000x more than valves games, they couldnt give less of a shit.
