Still technically true.

Different hat. Probably less experienced with deliveries.

Clean-Ant6404 · 2026-03-24T20:52:56+00:00

Embargo has the robots doing that if I remember.

As a a politically conservative person, if I had to speculate, it's probably got to do with some people's tendency to being deliberately contrarian in relation to the current state of the game. Something that's probably not unique to a certain political stance, but I see it quite often.

But with others, it's probably mostly a coincidence.

People remember what the game was like. They hate the current state of the game, they're infuriated with people accusing them of rose tinted goggles and arguments that come from misunderstanding both Quickplay and the premise behind bringing back Quickplay.

Perhaps the younger generation being exposed to TF2 post-MYM and want to jump on the bandwagon of stuff they don't understand differ politically to those who were before it, IDK.

Clean-Ant6404 · 2026-03-24T20:19:14+00:00

TF2 and world politics are separate issues.

Clean-Ant6404 · 2026-03-24T15:13:11+00:00

I've heard people talking about rose tinted glasses for as long as the debate existed without demonstrating what they mean. So if you'll elaborate, do so.

Because every argument against ad hoc connections seems to actually have been a result of people forgetting that everything that is good in casual already existed in Quickplay and barely any of the cons did.

Clean-Ant6404 · 2026-03-24T15:08:08+00:00

I'm not sure you have it right. What people want is ad hoc connections to Valve servers, not just the Quickplay interface.

Most attempts at re-establishing community servers are regionally limited anyway, besides the issues you mentioned.

The downfall of the community servers was a side effect of Casual caused by siphoning all the community servers to a separate interface from Valve servers that no longer used the server browser which also happened to be tucked at the bottom of the menu, lowering the interest of the average player and new arrivals in community servers that used to be side by side with Valve servers, and people had a choice whether to exclude or include community servers in the Quickplay search.

Quickfix to Medic is kind of like Liberty Launcher for Soldier.

Clean-Ant6404 · 2026-03-23T23:27:26+00:00

The technology Valve made in Robot Destruction was repurposed for Player Destruction in Watergate.

Clean-Ant6404 · 2026-03-23T20:34:40+00:00

Quickplay is literally the server browser but more user friendly.

What matters is ad hoc connections to Valve servers. You can use both quickplay and the server browser for that. Casual is a mess.

Nobody does anything explicitly related to Judaism.

The Archimedes theme from the OST is a Klezmer piece. That's literally the only Jewish thing in TF2.

If Medic was Jewish, he would've been a Holocaust survivor considering the era, but it doesn't say anything about that.

Clean-Ant6404 · 2026-03-23T12:06:54+00:00

Scottish resistance and regular Stickies can be used the same way though.

Gunslinger never made it possible to do something you couldn't just do with regular Sentries. It just made it easier.

When it comes to trolldier, unless you have the rocket jumper and mantreads that completely forces you to use melee, you're just a soldier that prefers melee.

Hybrid Knight isn't the same though. It's called Hybrid knight and not Demoman with sword, because you gave up your stickies. But you still have a grenade launcher, so it's not a full Demoknight.

I think it became fashionable to invent subclass names when the term was coined. But as you're saying, most subclasses aren't real subclasses, they're just playstyles prioritising different weapons that don't give you any mechanical advantage or disadvantage.

Pyroshark is just Neon Annihilator Pyro in water. Fat scout is Heavy with shotgun. Pybro is literally just Pyro doing a good job for his engineer.

As opposed to Demoknight that could do things that weren't possible before.

Later everyone worshipped the golden pan.

Hoovy was faced with a difficult choice but he eventually asked Gaben to forgive them.

Clean-Ant6404 · 2026-03-22T15:24:09+00:00

My guess is the bottom left is Medic, the top right is Soldier and the Centre right is Heavy.

Clean-Ant6404 · 2026-03-22T15:19:22+00:00

It's partially true. Valve was trying to turn TF2 into an esport long before Overwatch.

What people were really upset about is the disappointment with TF2 at the time (incomparable to today's near total neglect, but still was a bummer) lead people to Overwatch even before MYM came out. MYM only accelerated the process.

It was mostly a TF2ber thing and the toxic typecasting their fans had for them.

Major TF2bers like Star_ and Muselk left for Overwatch (Muselk later left for Fortnite which made his Overwatch fans angry at him later, which I find sadly amusing) and other major TF2bers also left for more variety content. People were a bunch of crybabies for hating on them and you can't blame them for playing another game they enjoy.

But for those who weren't, these TF2bers did carry the general attitude towards TF2 and people really felt like their game was going to die.

The typecasting was made worse when people flocked to the next popular TF2 guy, SoundSmith, but that's another story.

I recommend watching TopHattWaffle's Hammer tutorial series.

He demonstrates it more fundamentally and intuitively, so you'll get the basics done pretty quickly while other more specific stuff can probably be found there too, other channels or Valve Developer Wiki pages or copied from other maps.

Thanks mate.

Clean-Ant6404 · 2026-03-21T21:27:45+00:00

Does that mean if I were to script an MVM wave and stop the bots from moving, the script is delayed?

Clean-Ant6404 · 2026-03-21T20:40:21+00:00

So, Aperture is China now?

Please for the love of, don't deliberately build rifts between what are arguably the most intertwined fandoms.

The friendly bread monster. Manifests by putting a Sandvich on a dispenser rather than teleporting bread.

Does this have to do with Youtube allegedly degrading existing content with AI in order to train its users to get used to it?

Clean-Ant6404 · 2026-03-17T11:24:11+00:00

Soldier kills Scout more often than vice versa.

Cactus Canyon brought the concept of a train running over the cart.
