just released
I think you're missing the part where this is on Steam, so normal non-autists will be playing TF2 again for a couple weeks
None of these "tf2 but original game*"
*It is not how tf2 was original
appeal to me
It is cool that it is on steam though
Pika, I just tried it, why the fuck would a retro tf2 remake feel the need to add (what feels like) a bunch of random alt-weapons
I feel like the community could probably agree on a couple
but some of these are just nothing inclusions
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I feel like the community could probably agree on a couple
They actually cant
sure they can
sandvich, boots for demo and soldier, demoknight, huntsman, jarate, flare gun, that one spy watch where you can stand still
that's all you need to appease 99% of players
and I think other than arguing over demoknight
most people would be fine with this list
The problem is no one actually fucking wants orange box tf2, but also if you are adding non orange box stuff anyways, every single group thinks "oh what if we add this it is basically just vanilla+"
I beat you too it
every single one of these fangames has this issue
see, I agree that's the mindset Pika
I just don't get how they ended up here

When people say "vanilla" I imagine what they mean is up until like the Dues Ex update or w/e
(granted I still think it will be fun because non-autistic TF2 doesn't exist anymore full-stop)
I'd play tf2 that was just tf2 up to about when MvM came out
I think that'd be cool to relive
I think the game was in a decent state then
I also sorta just agree, people don't really want tf2 anymore
even if you rewound time to the perfect™ patch
it's an almost 20-year-old game
I think people just want a goofy shooter, but don't like the direction tf2 took the last 5 years
10*
but I agree
tf2 is at its best when you are just playing some random server, with 23 other strangers, and its just chaos of the intermingling of people of various skill levels doing shit
server-based FPS, without an XP grind or FOMO
that's not being microbalanced everymonth to chase some comp scene meta
I have about 1.3k hours in it spread across like 2011-2014ish
maybe 2010
I forget when I started playing tf2

Strange Items were and are the only real sense of progression you can get in the game and I think thats fine to a point
the hat economy
unirronically worked
competative tf2 was its own thing though, not official, just off to the side
which is why it worked
eh, I like games having a ranked mode sure, but it needs to be fucking separate and be a clear afterthought
Valve should have just given better server customization support where servers could rebalance items as they want, that would have satisfied the comp people
so they could do their own balance of the game
retards NEED games to have a 'queue' button though
because they don't want to have to think about what game they're playing
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 retards NEED games to have a 'queue' button though
This, and their server search function is absolute DOG SHIT
one mode
one map
one queue
it's so unnecessary too
