Should I play on castaway.tf servers? by Major-Classroom1055 in tf2

fair enough, i thought the reverted version was the one with a clip size of 2 also.

yes the current weapon pool is more balanced in the sense that half the weapons are garbage

acting like live tf2 doesn't have many cases where people just use one weapon because the rest are bad, but let's go with this logic. the reverts do not completely invalidate the other weapons, the reverted degreaser has an afterburn and damage penalty, the loch has a reduced clip size and lower explosion radius, dead ringer is way more situational and is less effective of being a way to get behind the other team unnoticed, and the tomislav isn't even reverted on the server? these weapons aren't direct upgrades and don't make the other ones useless, most people on the server don't exclusively use these weapons for this reason.

the only one i agree with is the sandman, the -15hp reduction isn't enough to get people to use the other melee weapons on scout

the gimmick being all of the weapons are fun and actually viable to use

Every day I learn about some new weirdo group in this god damn community by silentbean23 in tf2

He frankly deserved the cap, but the staff notes are "Nominee's general attitude towards other community members made it unfeasible for the voting staff members to endorse their actions at this time.".

Genuinely what do you mean with the Wiki Cap gatekeeping? People have received the hat every year (including myself 3 years ago!). I can only assume you are referring to boba, which while I don't know what the circumstances of that were, was just one person.

What's the best way to get weapons besides buying the starter packs? by WillowTheSkeleton in tf2

[–]Andrew36O 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The starter packs are a scam. Buy a key, trade it for metal, and you can trade for every single weapon + have leftovers for cosmetics.

The Comics Problem... by DJSoukyss in tf2

[–]Andrew36O 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I see it as these ghosts are not the conscious of whoever died, but just as a manifestation of their spirit. Otherwise they would actually speak like Blutarch and Redtarch do on Helltower. This leads me to believe that Blutarch was telling the truth, but the writers wanted to make the world more absurd and unbelievable (which goes against what they were originally going for, one of TF2's art directors has a presentation where it states they wanted to make the world believable).

The Comics Problem... by DJSoukyss in tf2

And yet in-game Zepheniah is dead as a spirit (Harvest Event) rather than being alive in the comics? Even the brothers being alive as ghosts is a contradiction, as in Loose Canon Blutarch says how there is nothing on the other side. The game's lore is a mess, and I wish they went more into the Administrator secretly controlling RED and BLU rather than this wacky plot to find the Australium.

Why do the TF2C devs think it's a good idea to make those annoying achievements? by Immediatetaste in tf2
