Team Fortress 2 - Hat Fortress 2: America's #1 War-themed Hat Simulator

[NSJAP]

I present you the on of the major reasons why tf2 is still alive. There is literally no one on the online fps market who could offer this.

I don't go by Null anywhere else.

That's not what your mom said, when I was fucking her in her shit-encrusted asshole

So the other day I was playing casual, nothing major. Some faggot decided to votekick me out of the match for no other reason but to be a dickhead. I like to become a mouthbreathing retard in these moment and spam "nigger" in voice chat when this happens.

My shenanigans are catching up with me. The same faggot who did this happened to be in a lobby with me today, and sent me a discord link through the fucking game (lul). I present to you, a rare moment in my current days of gaming:

Me being me, I decided to do some digging.



"IYSMITL"? What could this be?



Ah, he's one of those sort of faggots. I see now. No wonder why he votekicked me initially without any warning or reason! I'm supposedly a "noob"!



For a guy who tries to have a raging e-penis, he sure is an idiot. Lets see what his reddit is like!

Oh...



I don't really know what the point or moral to any of this is, but like most things, being an elitist faggot in a 10+ year old video game should be the least of your concerns when you're enough of a retard to put your entire life's savings into the stock market.

Don't let them take your power away. Continue to say nigger in voice chat.

GUYS, BONUS INFO. I'M A FUCKING IDIOT.

I'M FUCKING REALIZING THAT THE GUY WHO EVEN RECORDED ME IN THAT GAME, WAS NONE OTHER THAN SOME ACTUAL STREAMER FAGGOT.

I can't fucking believe this. My fiance was DEAD ON when he said that the guy's voice was more than familiar sounding, as he has heard such a voice before when watching streamer rage compilations. Now granted here, I understand that this also could've literally just been an actual, random faggot. But the voice is a little too dead on, so I'm going to take my extra win by believing I pissed off some random CSGO streamer that decided to play TF2 for once in his miserable life.

Sadly I can't even find this particular faggots steam page, swimming through the sea of profiles always gives me a headache. If only I had noticed sooner after the adrenaline and rush of making people mad that I said the n-word a bunch of times.

Some TF2 news i haven't seen mentioned in this thread.

last month Valve updated tf2 to allow users access to Vscript, allowing players to write code to program maps.
Previously mappers had to use external plugin files and hammer logic entities for custom game modes and new map mechanics now they can directly add them onto a map, meaning it's possible for custom gamemodes to be accepted as offical maps for event or permnant rotation.

Here's shounic's video on the topic for more info.

This has already spurred LizardOfOz, creator of VSH(Versus Saxton Hale) to return to TF2 in order to make a sequel to the gamemode now that it's easier to make and has the chance of becoming an offical map.

Edit:
As of three hours ago LizardOfOz has confirmed he will make the his VSH2 map code publicly available, allowing for use in others maps and custom gamemodes.
VSH2 will also feature a mechanic where dead players can be revived as weaker skeleton versions in order to lower the down time between death and more gameplay, one of VSH's biggest issues.

I get that the Scorch Shot is strong and all, but what's the BFD? TF2 has never been the most balanced game (see the pre-nerf BFB) and given that the Sniper is arguably one of the strongest classes in the game and random crits haven't been neutered and/or removed, I don't see why people have such an issue with it.

 

[ABE LINN COHN]

Sniper's fine, just don't stand still moron
Scorch shot's fine, just stop getting hit by it and move out of the way if a teammate gets hit
The real problem is I get put on teams who repeatedly get themselves killed by both, have the memory of a goldfish, and never seem to figure out how to avoid entirely preventable deaths. This doubly sucks since now the scorch shot spammer is usually using the phlog and can just wipe a team due to some teammates feeding.
I love a scorch shot user on the other team though since I get to punish them with the manmelter which both renders them useless and lets me throw it right back at them

 

[Merton J. Dingle]

I feel like some people just don't like the fact that the Pyro can participate in spam the same as a Soldier and Demo, (albeit with a lower firing rate). It's not like a Sniper getting hit with any sort of flare was in a position where a rocket couldn't hit him at least with splash damage.

 

[TVB]

Try to participate in spam by maining Engineer.

I will concede that afterburn sucks and the scorch shot has too high of a range for a pyro weapon. Soldier has to deal with damage falloff while demo can't even reach directs past a certain hard limit. Meanwhile pyro gets no falloff with a very slight arc plus full afterburn.

Seen at least two different people rename their weapon to some variant of "GYPSY KILLER" in the middle of a match. Strange it's happened twice.

This, and the fact that it's particularly obnoxious paired with the phlog. You just spam scorch shot flares down a choke for risk-free charge, then activate your crits and W+M1 into the enemy team (ideally with a pocket medic). Then you run away, and repeat the cycle.

For Valve it basically means absolutely nothing, because their shit got leaked and they can't do anything to stop this flood now, and also the leak is of games that they've long since abandoned and only do small code patches for at best, and that doesn't really hurt them since that's not their main source of income nowadays.

TF2 was dead long, loooong before this and Valve had no intention of adding more content to it besides cosmetics anyway. And all that got leaked is just assets, no code it seems, so there's really little incentive for Valve to try and sue every single person who gets their grubby hands on this leak.

 

[chimpSculpture]

Does anyone have the link to the raw leak? I'm seeing a couple torrents for organized versions.

This one is a compressed version and I'm not sure if it's been pruned but it's the closest I've found.

Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion, but I never did quite like the Gun Mettle update.

It added elements from CS:GO such as weapon skins and graded cosmetics that didn't belong in the game. It also marked the beginning of the breaking of TF2's artstyle with the Potassium Bonnet.

It wasn't a bad update, but those aspects marked the slow decline of TF2's quality as a whole.

I kinda liked it tbh. It was pretty fun playing engineer and getting a few cool weapons.
