New TF2 update possibly imminent

i like tf2 and played since closed beta , now i play less often since it went free to play tf2 mature community went a bit downhill , but still good in THG servers, and i think theres bit to much weapons and items gimps a game .
 
I can't decide with TF2 whether I'm still into it at the moment... I used to play it loads from the early days and really enjoyed it but something feels like it's changed, maybe just the huge influx of weapons and items as mentioned above

The original noble design choice Valve went with, making the classes easy to identify from a distance or at a glance, is sort of ruined when you originally would have:

"Oh here comes a Pyro/Heavy/Demo/whatever, they will be using one of 2 or 3 possible weapons so I should try to approach or deal with them like this..."

to now:

"Oh here comes a Pyro/Heavy/Demo/whatever, who knows what random gimmicky items they will be using so may as well just charge into the spamfest and hope that by trial and error I can start to learn which player-name is using which specific weapon"

I don't really mind the customisation cosmetic items so much... it's a bit of a fun and can be enjoyable, but it doesn't impact on the gameplay (other than it being such a focus of so many player's attention now rather than the actual game)
 
I still play most nights with mates. I'm like pro Heavy, pro Demoman and pro Sniper :p


Rock on!

Will there be new hats?

There's only one hat that's important and that is the Bill's hat and every other punter wants to trade mine. Sod off!
 
Pretty much find us loitering on Valve official servers. Mostly Payload although CTF other times too. Is there an OcUK group about this game still?

Look out for my Doge in the wall spray :p
 
I'm happy to be pro medic for someone... I like being medic for heavies/demos/soldiers/pyros that aren't a complete bell end.
 
Suitable thread for these :D

TF2 was wrecked when they made 1289182918291829128 weapon variants.

Vanilla TF2 was awesome. It was still awesome when there was a variant of the medic gun and heavy primary...then it went downhill. I've not played it since really.

This. It was the death of the game for a lot of players. I loved that game man.... had a clan, regular server with a great community and everything. Used to play daily sometimes for hours. Just find no fun in it any more when all anyone wants to do on servers is trade stupid hats instead of PTFO and have fun. They should have had a separate trading website or something and kept it all out of the main game, or just not done it at all.

All hail Vanilla TF2....
 
Updated TF2 offers more variation and frustration and that's what is beautiful about TF2 now. Lots of weapons, lots of combinations, lots of quirks and funny moments seeing people do different things wearing all sorts - It's refreshing compared to the usual online shooter filled with predictable things.
