oi
>>376490465
easy to get into a match and have fun
mind you i never touch whatever the fuck valve put into it,i only play lobby
It was the framework for Overwatch which is now far superior.
server browser actually
lobby based shit like in mobas and low playercount per map was one of the main reasons I disliked overwatch
>>376490554
>Tankwatch
Overwatch is terribly balanced around some stupid moba style roles like le support and tank xD but the think is tanks are as good as offensive heroes damage vise they just have double the health.
>>376490465
The memories
>>376490878
I'm a big fan of tf2 but that is a straight out lie if you think tf2 is balanced and medic isn't the single most boring thing in the world.
It died when it went f2p.
>>376490878
At least the tanks are actual tanks and not just target practice for the 450 damage dealing sniper in the back of the map. Seriously, the spam in Tf2 is cancer
used to be community servers and custom maps but valve screwed over both
>>376490465
it's not relevant anymore
>>376490465
Pony servers
>>376490465
the comics
the fact that i've never played it
>>376491842
>tfw the horse maps are actually some of the best made and have shittons of secrets
>>376492071
Never underestimate the power of pure distilled autism, how can nonpony servers even compete
>>376490465
the fact that it died exactly how I predicted it, and I was vindicated in the end
>>376492071
>have shittons of secrets
Why is this shit so fun.
Like on that one mario map finding all of those things to unlock that 2nd world
>>376492203I'm a horsefucker myself, so that might have helped.
>>376492252
>custom fun map servers are even dead now
Everybody just wants to play jump and other mini gamemodes nowadays. How do idle servers even exist anymore?
>>376490465
It has style and personal character, and also a surprisingly interesting lore. Its design is well thought, both on a graphic standpoint, and of game mechanics. It's truly a team game. Probably one of the most balanced online multiplayer I've ever played. Graphics aged insanely well.
Too bad Valve ran it into the ground with all the hats and bullshit weapons and their jewishness.
>>376491092
Medic is fun though
>>376490465
The idea that no matter how many hours I put into it, I'll never get good.
Honestly, the only thing I dislike in any capacity with regards to TF2 is the new matchmaking system.
>>376490878
i play competitive tf2 and i can say that the game isn't any more balanced than overwatch
scout literally rapes fucking ANYTHING if you can aim and have good movement, and still gets buffed (see: medigun speed boost, 75% of his unlocks)
if you put your sniper in the middle of your team and supply him with constant buffs (9v9 meta) he never dies and can hold an entire area just with his presence
countless overpowered unlocks (crit-a-cola, jarate, machina, darwins danger shield)
countless useless unlocks (sun-on-a-stick, manmelter, enforcer, mantreads)
not to mention the 6v6 meta consisting of 4 generalists and 5 specialists used for defense/pick situations
>>376490465
Remembering back before Valve ruined it.
>>376493181
>a MMO isn't balanced because of e-penisports meta
Just go on a vanilla server and the game's fine.
The fact that it inspired a much better game with a much better playerbase. I wish I screenshot this one guy calling himself Rick from Rick and Morty. Probably the most Reddit thing ever.
Great aesthetic. The 1950s style 'spytech' is a really underused genre, actually kind of unique to TF2.
Great game modes, especially for the time. I'm sure people will correct me, but TF2 seems like the first FPS at least that I played that had team based actual objectives, like push a payload, beyond just like capture the flag.
Excellent characterization, all of the characters despite having no worldbuilding or exposition in game still do a great job exhibiting their personality.
Great class and game design balance. Maybe it's not great for high level matches against skilled players, but for pubs it works great. Pretty much every party member is really good for something specific AND can hold their own in a fight, which is good for an FPS.
Incredible map design, especially the differences in RED and BLU buildings. I know when I'm at home base or deep in enemy territory without every having to see anyone just by looking at the wall.
Unlockable gear and cosmetics helped give the game a lot of longevity, even then maybe on /v/ would argue they ruined the community in one way or another. Not disagreeing, just stating it.
>>376490465
Not getting killed during the humiliation part because I switched to spy and used my cloak and dagger moments before our loss
>>376490465
The weapons and classes as well as personality behind said classes.
>>376494226
I agree, battleborn is so much more badass than tf2 and overwatch.
>>376491842
>tfw MLPHeroes died and the creator refused to make the code for the mod open source

>>376494226
You're right anon, Overwatch is the most Reddit thing ever.
>>376494483
I couldn't have worded it better.
>>376490465
Spy. Still hands down the best stealth class in a multiplayer game. Only downside is there's always 3 morons playing him. But when you can score the only spy on the team, it's fun as hell.
>>376494483
Perfect. I would also add that the comics and the music are top notch.
Valve pls make more stuff you are gud at it
>>376490465

>>376490465
It was a pretty good containment game for a fair amount of years. Nice work, Valve.
>>376494226
>much better playerbase.
You're right, the Overwatch community is so much more funny and cool xD
Nothing. Overwatch is a better game.
>>376491368
>At least the tanks are actual tanks
What the fuck is this shit? There was one (1) tank for the longest time, then it was one and a half after a patch and now there are two and a half. Most of those tanks are bruisers.
>>376490465
Advanced movement techniques (rocketjumping, stickyjumping, chargejumping, detjumping, sentryjumping, etc etc)
Part of the reason I find Overwatch so boring is because moving around in that game is so uninteresting and there's only so much you can do to position yourself optimally. It also has more of a rock-paper-scissors effect where some classes are almost guaranteed to die regardless of skill level when they face their hard counter. It's much less skill-based in general and more dependent on team composition, which in turn leads to frustration, bitchy teammates, and the blame game that MOBAs are so famous for.
>>376490465
Lore, characters their voice acting and music.
TF2 The Animated Series when.
>>376498850
fun fact: expiration date was born out of an idea of a tf2 animated series pitch that valve did with adult swim.
Adult swim learned what "valve time" was and ultimately didn't do it because valve are lazy morons.
>>376490465
One time I had gay rp with a furry so I suppose that was pretty great

This
No dedicated servers means no subcommunities, which were the greatest thing about mp games. I made amazing friends only from a couple of servers. Now in matchmaking everyone just acts as autistic as possible to everyone else
>>376494483
Exactly this. I would mention online community too. Gmod videos were the shit 5+ years ago
The absurd shit that happens. Like backstabbing two different spies in the same place within 10 seconds of each other.

I haven't checked in months to see if it works though
>>376493181
>if you put your sniper in the middle of your team and supply him with constant buffs (9v9 meta) he never dies and can hold an entire area just with his presence
sure if all your high level players are using aimbots like we literally know they are
It was and still is a casual shooter (before causal meant "braindead") that still had some kind of skill ceiling and room for improving your skills. I also like how each Merc is characterized in fun ways that embrace the fact that they're all human garbage making a living out of killing. Also Soldier is a miracle of the universe.
>>376491092
>medic boring
shitter detected, most fun I've ever had is the times when my team is the perfect level of competence to hold an area but not push forward and everyone is constantly taking damage so I'm swapping heal targets like a madman, crossbowing people both friendly and enemy from huge distances and finding the perfect time to pop the kritz to wreck an enemy push
>>376494483
Pretty much. I'll add the music, which is seriously underrated. I love those bombastic tracks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6NQx4WRRg0
Also the banter between characters. They all work so amazingly well against each other. Every character can be pinned against any other random character and they'd get some fantastic lines.

Dude was crazy salty.
TF2 is the gift that has kept on giving for a decade.
I was playing in the beta thanks to preordering the Orange Box. Primeval Warrior badge and everything.
And in the next three years we got a bunch of great short films, a bunch of updates, comics, dank memery, to say nothing of the fan community output.
Whether it's music remixes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqikLf5uv4o
Or just the crude random and wacky shit we were trying to make work in Gmod before we got SFM.
And the stuff people are making in SFM is great. Saxxy Awards feel like a legit professional movie festival with some of the stuff in there.
The art design(before they got a bit too indulgent with cosmetics), character development and banter, and even the gamefeel is top notch. It defined the hero shooter and it is still bestin class.
It may never get as huge as Counter-Strike or MOBAs, but there was something special about the shared experience of TF2.
I hope they get everything together and release something big in this 10th anniversary year. At least refine matchmaking.
>>376515496
>TF2 is almost exactl 1 decade old
JUST
>>376515623
Worst map in the entire fucking game, even if you do know which way to go
>>376515814
(you)
Valve should just make infinite fuckaround forever mode an official gamemode.
2fort is still the most played map in the game and we all know people pretty much just use that for endless team deathmatch, and capturing the bag is just a novelty thing you can do if you get tired of sneaking sentries as far forward as you can and brawling in the fortresses.
>>376515814
That's not 2fort
>>376490465
When I uninstalled it I had more room for better quality games.
>>376516126
I'd get behind this if they ever chose to do Team Fortress 3.
Rework 2fort into an actually playable map where capturing the objective is feasible and skill isn't eliminated, and make a new fuck-around vanilla map for trading and whatnot.

>not knowing steel
it's the closest thing modern FPS has to the pleasures of 1990s shooter level design
It's also quite true to many of the maps people used to enjoy in Team Fortress Classic, which featured numerous dynamic elements
cp_Steel is for the video game enthusiast who actually wants to use their brain and strategise while shooting people, which sadly rules out 99% of the OW playerbase and 75% of the TF2 playerbase
>>376516908
HL player reporting in.
There is nothing more fun in Team Fortress than playing a match of Steel with your friends who all know what they're doing against an equally good team. It give something for every class to do.
>>376515496
I've gone back to tf2 the past month, and even with the fucking cockeyed matchmaking and the unbelievable amount of jailbreak servers, its still my favorite multiplayer fps of all time. I wish the playerbase didn't feel "stunted"

I don't think you understand that TF2 is the Simpsons of video games. It has another 10-odd years to go before Valve will even slightly consider letting it die or replacing it.
>>376519881
TF2 has a really good soundtrack, which I've always considered to be odd given the nature of the game.
>>376519881

Various questions
>>376520740
TF2 was part of the Orange Box vanguard. It came alongside the next episode of Half-Life and dark horse darling Portal. Of course they thought it was going to be huge, it was a flagship.
But it would take something really fucking huge to dethrone Counter-Strike. The only thing bigger than the latest incarnation of Counter-Strike is MOBAs.

Shir was dope.
capping points really early with demo in very open maps, then stickying an entrance for 3 free kills is always a good feeling
>>376527207
That's because OW's maps are chokepoint city
Its like every map is a version of cp_junction
>>376512091
In retrospect the shotguns strike a good balance between being a decent close-mid backup gun instead of just being a point-blank insta-kill tool like it is in most other FPS.
Besides the scout's scattergun, but that's basically his whole thing.

You can't even kill scouts or snipers with it, unless you're using a shield.
