TF2 is one step above PUBG. Everything went to shit when cosmetics were introduced. F2P was the final nail in the coffin.

TF2 died in 2009
Prove me wrong

tf2 didnt die in 2009, you just stopped playing in 2009 because you're bad at fashion

fpbp

I miss the old tf2. Right before hats were introduced it was so good.

With the introduction of the matchmaking update I feel the "community" aspect of Tf2 has been dying as custom community servers have fallen out of favor to casuals joining matchmaking servers which lack the distinct culture and cliques that custom servers had

>tfw you'll never go back to a ChristianGamer server with the steam name "Jesus was a Velociraptor" and just utterly decimate them on hydro

This is the most 'not an argument' post I've seen. Try again.

>nobody plays the mods for 2007/2009 tf2 because there's massive security holes in them

>you will never join an /r/Atheism server and open every round with a prayer

...

>f2p = bad
I can understand this and is a big fear of mine for all the large subscription based MMO's I play, but

>hats = bad
I never understood this thinking, I mean you don't have to pay for them, and any of the best players in any game I've met are subtle and modest in their cosmetics almost 100% of the time.

>ywn join a tight knit community server as a pony-fag and start acting really gay and autistic

I used to play the 360 version up until the x bone came out. I feel you.

>hats = bad
because it brought in a whole new meta game which diluted the userbase with trash. Instead of worrying about the gameplay people worried about fucking hats.

I think the reason people think hats are bad is because they change the player-to-player perception. Valve says in the developer commentary, that one of the goals was to make sure no player ever stood out. They wanted to remove status symbols and make a completely level playing field. You would only communicate through your skill. Hats invite a new type of player to seek validation through status symbols. They buy golden guns and decorate their favorite merc and try to inject their personality into a mold that was already injected with its own personality. It clashes heavily. It doesn't ruin the actual game itself, per se, but it definitely shifts the focus of the community. The community of any game plays a major role in the quality of that game's experience. This is the same reason you're sympathetic to disliking a f2p community.

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
I played the 360 version until about 2009. When you could get a match, vanilla TF2 was so much fun on the 360.

Most of that fun maintained transitioning to PC, arguably it was more fun with new weapons and maps and a better control scheme, but it really went down the shitter with F2P

What the fuck happened to Valve :/ I feel like there's absolutely no way in hell they return to their glory from 2007-2009.

Counter Strike: Source? At least in terms of lasting.

I still daydream about becoming filthy rich for the sole purpose of killing the tf2 economy by buying ass loads of keys and trading them for nothing.
I don't even play tf2 anymore

Doom

People feel the same about crypto currencies now

It's not bad for the game itself but for the community, and because this is an online game where interaction is required for enjoyment the community going to shit is pretty bad.

>border hopper who doesn't know how to get over walls
fake

Niggers against hats need to neck themselves. I bought a couple of my favorite games selling tf2 bullshit.
By me saying i don't play anymore makes my statement invalid, then so be it.

...

Fake border hopper or fake border?

...

How did F2P ruin TF2? Game was already pretty cheap to begin with, so BRs could have bought it if they saved up a few pennies.

The last good update was pyromania

Why are pubfags such idiots?

I don't want competitive 6s, I want a 12v12 pub game in which both teams play their damnest to win in their respective roles.

I don't want friendly heavies

I don't want melee-only, useless medics

I don't want retarded market gardener Rocket Jumpers

I want Scouts on point, Soldiers on high grounds, Engies with gear on the frontlines, Medics with ubers on the ready.

But every fucking time, EVERY, SINGLE, FUCKING, GAME; I find myself top scoring/fragging, whilst my '''''''team''''''' either gets wiped off the face of the earth on every fucking encounter, or we have 3 idles and 3-emptyslots, or it's 6 spies and 4 snipers, or an infuriatingly dumb Spic.Hernandez.2009 medic never once whipping out his medgun

OR WORSE

We (I, really) rip the opposing team a million, brand spanking new fuckholes and a-holes on the first round, they get complacent as all holy shit, and suddenly, the next round, it's a 1v12 until we inevitably lose, and people on my team begin to bail cause lmao kicked-for-being-idle, or just realize that as godlike as I am, I cannot carry their dipshit asses against an opposing force comprised of 2 pocket demos, 1 pocket heavy and a billion shitstain minisentry-spamming texas shitkicker niggers.

And the one time, the one absolute motherloving time I find a game with a semblance of balanced players (judging by badge colors), after the 1st round, either team RQs and it's no longer a fun game.

But why am I still playing this den of furries, spics and autists anymore???

Oh right, because it is still the only mechanically-honest and satisfying team FPS in the history of all fucking existence.

Don't fucking (you) me

Just play a community server lmaonade

u ok bro?

is this pasta

You aren't as good as you think
Take a chill pill and don't take the game so seriously

LoL

ITT: People who naturally got bored of TF2 and seek justification. I still play the game every day and it's as fun as ever.

>Used to play on community servers with no random crits and no random spread with good settings
>Filled with a bunch of good/comp. players most weekends
>Always nominated good maps such as upward or process where everyone rolled out and shit
>Pubs would slowly turn into HL matches due to the sheer amount of good players which were friends with one another, with med picks being important and shit
Then everything went to hell when matchmaking came out and everyone went back to turbines 24/7
Fuck this game

>mechanically-honest
>critical hits in a goddamned FPS
Even Overwatch is better than TF2 these days. And to anyone getting upset by this comment, you should be playing TF Classic instead of TF2 anyway.

Quakeworld.

beautiful

dead

>Better

It became garbage after F2P you faggot.

Also

>What is Doom

>his best memories are le epic trollz

Eew user.

Why do furries like TF2 so much?

There's a league with over 100 people right now.

A WHOLE HUNDRED PEOPLE?!?

...

man that's really cute

How many do you need? 100 good, experienced players >>>> 100000000 retards that run around and shoot randomly

Who is this anime slut?

>play with some lv1 sniper in a party hat
>he's headshotting like nothing
>rev up my report button
>but just check his profile first
>he's actually some highlander medalist and his casual badge was a bug

the MTG community

>100 jaded assholes who long ago forgot what fun was
FTFY

>fun = going easy on retards that will drop the game in a week so they can play for a whole extra week before they get bored
Never mind, real video games are not for you. Back to Cawadoody on consoles, kiddo.

how many people show to tf2 leagues sweetie
there literally aren't any other games from 1996 that still have that many people playing

How sweet.

Boku no bites the dusto.

MtG community sucks ass.
>go to FNM
>Bring cheap red aggro deck
>opponent is autist that asks me how long I've been playing for
>tell him I started around 2011 and he brags about how he has been playing since Beta
>match flow starts going in my favor and he begins shaking the table
>ignore it, beat his expensive Gruul deck and he starts yelling and cursing, followed by screaming "I'm not gonna shake your hand," then flicking my Monastery Swiftspear at me
>"I can't believe I lost to this weak, pathetic red deck!"
For all of the complaints a lot of MtG fags have about Yugioh, some of your players sure act like Yugioh villains.
Now, I'm sure you'll say that this is just an isolated incident, but consider the fact that this happened at FUCKING FNM, not a major event like a PTQ or a Grand Prix. Just a "casual" event. Who would want to play with autists like this? Don't get me wrong, I like MtG and I'm used to dealing with people like that because of Sup Forums, but let's not pretend MtG has a good community.

Don't even get me started on the insane, mentally ill tranny fucks and the general leftist retardation that the playerbase both promotes and engages in.

>Don't even get me started on the insane, mentally ill tranny fucks and the general leftist retardation that the playerbase both promotes and engages in.
that was basically the point of my post

why would you respond to a non argument with an argument? are you retarded?

Doom, TTLG games

Ah, my mistake.

A desperate community of ERPing furries isn't anything worthwhile mentioning.

The King of Fighters 98 on Fightcade. Hope you speak Spanish, though.

lets play

I saw a friend of mine play it back in 07 or 08, it looked like fun, he was a pretty good spy. Then slowly he started playing hat simulator. I remember going over to his place and he'd spend the whole evening fucking trading or getting hats. Hardly actually played tf2. Yeah I know my anecdote isn't the same for everybody, but come on. You can't argue that people actually played the game more before hats.

You forget, or weren't born, when you had to actually get specific hats for set bonuses. They got rid of them sure, but for a long fucking time you needed an entire set (hat included) to use the milkman or has attendant set. Plus if you didn't have the croc hat on sniper you might've as well been playing MapleStory.

where the fuck do you play magic?
I don't have any assholes like that where I am. Or if people act that way they'd be banned.

I always used to play on those furry servers. I dont give a shit about furries, but those were some good servers. Good players, good ping, good map rotation.

If he was a vet at the game he would know that red aggro decks need to be countered specifically. You should have known that you were dealing with a bargain basement retard as soon as he said he was playing since beta, where the entire meta role was aggro since they didn't have much elsewhere.

This

The middle of nowhere in North Carolina, and even that required a bit of travel, as I'm from SC. Where I'm from, you either travel to play with shitbags or you don't play at all. This is why I just use online simulators now since that shop closed down and it wasn't worth the effort. In my home town, there are no card shops or anything like that, so it's for the best anyway. Used to play with the one other guy in my town, but once he started bringing his tranny girlfriend over, everything went downhill and suddenly no fun was allowed anymore and his personality changed for the worse.
He looked around 35, so he was probably just shit at the game. Kept getting bad draws, so maybe that had something to do with it.

>muh f2p
>muh hats
>muh ruined game
Fuck off, game is still fun.

One time on a pub furry server I watched a Soldier on my team sit by a spray some furry put up. He was there for about 3 minutes.
he was probably fapping

Was it at least a furry girl? Gay furries weird me out even more than normal, for some reason.

Doom Community

Huh
youtube.com/watch?v=zOR3snVKW0E&ab_channel=V.TeamGRN

tetris, doom, starcraft BW, street fighter, ssbm

TF2 community is full of friendly shitters.
But its still better than playing launch tf2.

Cosmetics were extremely tame when they were introduced not to mention there was no trading either. You are trying far too hard to fit in by spouting the uninformed opinion that you think you're supposed to have because you take memes dead serious.

Which Street Fighter? This is very important. 3S offline is pretty cool, I got to take a picture with Kokujin at a tournament despite speaking pretty shitty Japanese and nothing bad happened. Online, however, 3S is a bit of a shitshow with guys like Louiscipher, to say nothing of the autists that ask for your credentials before you're even allowed to say that you like 3S, especially on Sup Forums. At this point, I'm not sure if those people are jaded 3S washouts that want to justify being terrible for several years by saying they've at least been playing for several years or just regular Sup Forums trolls that hate 3s and assume everyone else does because they do.

As for SSBM, the community can be pretty shitty, but in the opposite way. Don't have many problems with the relatively young Anther's Ladder netplay community, but have had lots of bad Melee related run ins in real life.

melee

Wasn't Melee basically dead until it bought its way into Evo 2013?

no it still had events at the time

the ss13 community is dogshit

There was this one brony server I used to go on sometimes because of their solid map rotation.
Stopped going to the ponyfucker servers when I found the furry servers were actually superior in every way.

Doom

MvM was SHIT

>there are people who don't use the VR command that changes your viewmodel to your world model

A lot of people stopped playing, and started treating the game as a glorified chatbox plus trading hub. That's part of what ruined it.

Bright cartoon colors.

Also hello late-childhood waifu.

did they ever fix the fact that facial hair cosmetics don't move at all with your face?

Touhou

DOOM

I mean, you're not wrong, but that doesn't make you right.

ok but would you fuck this Heavy

Don't tell me what to do

Warcraft III TFT

You can't. It's the truth.

Poptepipic co-op game when
