I Played TF2 on 360 for 2100 hours. Must have played Hydro 1500 times.

With only 6 maps, eventually you buckle. 2Fort and Dustbowl were the only REALLY fun maps where you could expect a battle to take place.

Granary and Well came in second tier because they felt so lonely with only 16 players, but at least there were choke points. Defending the briefcase was VERY lonely, but moreso on Well.

Gravel Pit was meant to be populated by at least 24 players, but with 16, you'd end up with 3 guys on point A, 3 on point B, 2 idiot no-mic's on C and the other team would just throw their 8 guys at your nothing.

Hydro was the worst not because it was lonely but because nobody had any fucking idea where to go. Few choke points, many unnecessary detours that lead nowhere, and confusing use of vertical space.

I thought that was the whole game until I finally learned there was a PC version from someone on the mic. All the new maps... Badlands, Lumberyard, Turbine, Nucleus, it was all so fresh. New artstyles and skyboxes. WEATHER EFFECTS. I wasted so much of my life maining pyro with no airblast, flares, or axtinguisher. The best years of my life, sitting there playing ping-pong across the 2fort bridge with almost nobody.

The final cap in BLU's territory is actually easier to defend than RED's. Had a team hold ours off for a good amount of time. We rolled them for the first stages so we had a ton of time accumulated. We won after exhausting them.

>>384985221
CTF needs a rework. The current maps in rotation are cancer, even the community edits aren't good enough.

>>384987565
It's a great map. It just needs to be opened up a little more in terms of decongesting those chokes.

It would be better with a short 30-second set up period with those gates you see at BLU spawn on payload maps. That would get everyone on the same page in terms of where the fuck to go. Hydro isn't always clear on where you can and can't go. Sometimes you go all the way down some hallway and around the corner just to see that giant metal door with the NO symbol on it. It's frustrating.

The main problem with CTF (and dustbowl) is not the mode or even the maps, but with TF2's classes.

CTF used to work as a game mode in TFC, with a map that was even more cramped than 2fort. It was actually the most popular game mode in pubs AND competitive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm1ajobCgxA
But it doesn't work in TF2. Why?

Today, we have two extremely powerful defensive classes (Heavy and Engineer). There is nothing quite as strong as they can be on defense; even though Medic, Soldier, Demo, and Scout are the all-around strongest classes in general, Heavy and Engineer outperform them on defense.

In Team Fortress Classic, Heavy and Engineer were roughly as powerful as they are today, BUT they had an equally powerful offensive class (Medic) who fought this effect with his ridiculously high mobility, and every class had grenades. Both Engineer and Heavy could even be used on offense thanks to their EMP grenade (good for taking out Sentry nests) and MIRV grenade.

If we want TF2's CTF to work, like it did back in the day, then Engineer and Heavy need to be made better attackers and worse defenders.

I'm not saying grenades should make a comeback, just that they made a good counter to the powerful defensive abilities of Engie and Heavy, and no such counter to defenders exists in TF2 today, which is why we have a problem with stalemates in CTF.

What I want is for Engie and Heavy's defensive ability to be reduced and their offensive ability to be increased. This will make them better at pushing and worse at stopping pushes.

>however i agree they would be quite great on tf2, they even had models for them that were cool as fuck, they should really have gone and added them for custom server.
There's a total conversion mod for TF2 you might like, called Team Fortress 2 Classic, which mixes elements of 2007 TF2 and 1999 TFC.
It's pretty dead right now though sadly but you might be able to find some deathmatch games.

>>384985002
>but because nobody had any fucking idea where to go

Only for the first two or three times you play the map. Then it becomes second nature.

The fact that a lot of the default (non-2Fort) launch maps aren't played on PC is a crime. It's what killed the PC version for me. The newer maps are just as bad as Hydro in the "I don't know where to go" complaint but even worse because no matter how many times you play them, there is no "mental markers"/landmarks for you to learn by.

Difficult to make maps for, since the overlapping system is so complex. So they probably didn't see it as worth the time investment when they could make Payload maps that people would definitely play.

Durr it's terrible because you play on console and can't use the movement. Vanilla soldier/demo/scout with and against decent players was amazing

Hoodoo is the biggest shitpile of the maps because it tries to disguise behind an actually fun gamemode, payload.

Goldrush is slightly better and gets a sort of free pass for being the first payload map. It has been reworked once before, though, and it should be reworked again if Valve wants actual diversity in their viable payload maps.

because people were bitching about autobalance, stacking, and teamscramble (like morons), so Valve decided to appease them with a matchmaking system which would theoretically remove the need for autobalance by matching people into imbalanced servers, and forcing people to stay in Casual servers or face a penalty

The Warpath remake, v2 or whatever it was called, makes it a little more TF2-friendly, in the sense of cutting down on all the dead empty space so snipers aren't so dominant.

What Heavy needs is to be stronger on offense, weaker on defense, and to have mechanics that make his class more involved and skillful to play

Pyro also needs is mechanics that that give him a higher skill ceiling as well as reworks to make him stronger and give him a role on the team

Engineer mainly just needs to be stronger on offense and weaker on defense, and possibly changed to be a bit less team reliant

Spy needs to occupy a niche so he isn't just a worse Sniper

So would go about fixing this, /v/?

Well, for Heavy I'd nerf his max HP to 275 and slightly nerf his Minigun damage/sec, but reduce his speed penalty while revved so he can move faster, and increase the Minigun's accuracy.

For Pyro I'd give him an airblast jump, and make the Flamethrower harder to aim but have more range.

For Engineer idk, a speed pad unlock might help.

For Spy, I'd make the Sapper able to make enemies more vulnerable to allied damage within an AoE when held out while remaining invisible, so that Spy could sabotage enemies for his team

Heavy could be made into more of a tank so he can better attack objectives like:
-Minigun-
>-20% reduced firing speed
>-slower spin-up speed
>-slower deploy speed

>+increased accuracy
>+increased spin-down speed (?)
>+faster holster speed
>10-15% damage reduction when fully spun up (bypassed by afterburn, backstabs, headshots, and does not apply to overhealed HP)

-Heavy-
>Heavy recovers some HP from picking up ammo crates in exchange for less ammo, i.e. a medium ammo crate gives 75 ammo and +25HP
>Heavy gains a slight movement speed bonus when Minigun is not held
(helps create a dynamic between Heavy's HP and ammo, and encourages movement around the map as Heavy. Additionally gives utility to the Shotgun and makes the Sandvich less of a necessity.)

>introduction of “Rage” mechanic
>similar to Spy's cloak meter, when activated Heavy gains increased firing speed, faster minigun spin-up, and increases spin-up damage reduction to 40% (grants slight resistance to headshots?)
>Visual indication when active (steam rolls off of Heavy and team-colored muzzle flash?)
>Duration is ~2.5 seconds, ~8-10 second base recovery, extended/regenerated by dealing and taking damage
>Alternate miniguns get different Rage effects in place of the firing speed bonus (ex. Tomislav gets movement speed bonus when Enraged)

The idea here was to give him the ability to disenage from fights better and encourage him to move around, and give him more things to manage

Unreal Tournament had this nice feature where you could press a button and get a tiny little "ghost" that flies on the shortest route to blue or red spawn / objective, just for the sake of getting a basic bearing.

>>385017447
There's only a few numbers in there, and I also avoided using numbers where I could since I'm not on TF2's dev team so I wouldn't be able to fine tune anything anyway

>>385017727
TF2 could do with something like that for jose.fernando2007 who builds sentries outside spawn

>>385013286
You could do something with Spy's Sapper, since currently it's literally only useful against a single class, and when it isn't the Sapper may as well be an empty slot

How about:
>Sapper can “mark” enemies at range, allowing them to be seen through walls by allies for a few seconds (maybe cause them to take bonus damage from allies?)
>Sapper can be used to steal health packs, to create and place “dead drops” that can be used by allies but not enemies to recover health (maybe these health packs are invisible to enemies?)
>Some sort of “footprint” system that would allow Spy to know where his enemies are/have been maybe?

Doesn't really make him more offensive, but that's sort of hard anyways since he's designed as a slow class.
