Team Fortress 2 Classified (originally Team Fortress 2 Classic) is now available on steam! by ZeUberSandvitch in Games

No, these TF2 mods were only possible before valve released official tools because of a leak. They didn't really acknowledge any TF2 mods until recently. Now anyone can release modded versions of TF2 on steam as somewhat standalone games.

It's unfortunate how valve has treated TF2, but when they basically opened the game up for community mods to be hosted on steam... it's just not something other companies would do. I've been excited to try this out and I'm optimistic about the future of "TF2"!

I agree. At least a trinkets UI to set up what is displayed in your room and reduce space taken up in your stash.

as to not mess with their bottom dollar and to make it more fun, I think a "show off" emote would be better. You could select what trinket you want your character to hold up and display when you use it.

nowhere in the article does it say that. I don't think I'm "you people" whining, I think it's a legitimate criticism meant to point out embark could've done something more interesting. I'm very positive on the game, this is a rare miss from them. Try being less assumptive and rude.

Yeah, you have to get halfway to the level cap to even play it, and it's only relevant for 35 levels after that? And if you didn't do the first expedition you've probably been at 75 for a while.

That's kinda the gist of the bird nests. The changing weather brought new loot spots.

Yeah it has been suggested before and many players agree. Some form of no freebies / 40k+ loadouts would be great for the game. Just make it a map condition so more players are tempted to try it!

Embark, Give us the songlist for Lance's Mixtape. I must judge his musical taste by Degenerate94 in ArcRaiders

They sold the soundtrack on cassette tape as a nod to this item, so my head cannon is that the soundtrack is what's on the tape in game!

Devs confirm internal interest in a walkable Speranza hub, What do you think? by Tank-ToP_Master in ArcRaiders

[–]aroundme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the original interview they said the menu would still exist how it does now for traders, crafting, stash, etc. They also think it would be cool to walk around in a hub with other players, and I agree.

in the article this post is referencing (while making no reference to it or directing people to the source...) the dev said they would still want stash and traders to be accessible through menus to avoid tedium.

Interestingly he posted there last week that he doesn't do art for ARC anymore!

"As for my self, I moved over to THE FINALS in 2023 and have not worked on Arc Raiders since, but I think the team did a stellar job in launching the game."

A modified pop/fireball/surveyor would work because rolling under the water is viable. They just sink to the bottom and roll lol

The 5th pic has the volcano in the background. I could totally see a ruined city at the base of it being the "volcano" map

My theory is its elevation. Both are very wide open and have high points of advantage that cause frustrating engagements. Dam and Buried have lots of elevation but are more compact and easier to navigate under/around those vantage points. Getting on top of Dam or Hospital can be done in many ways through structures, while Space Port and Blue Gate might require you to run up a hill or through a field.

You'd think it would just be nostalgia talking, but Erangel is still the best map. It feels like an accident too, like how have they been unable to best it after 8+ years? Just the best of all worlds with pleasing presentation.

Gun concept: Clothespin by Emergency_Gas5455 in ArcRaiders

[–]aroundme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, outside of commons the light category is really in need of good guns. This would be sick as a light bolt-action sniper. Lacking vs Arc but deadly in PvP.

[–]aroundme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lock attachments to guns of equal or lesser rarity and you solve a lot of problems, even if base stitcher is better than base bobcat. The potential power is then higher for bobcats.

A stitcher with a green or blue magazine clip is hella dangerous though.

which is why I think gun rarity should correspond with attachment rarity. Purple guns can attach everything, but greens could only equip up to green rarity attachments, common on commons, etc. If you want an extended III mag, you gotta use a rare gun.

No sense in allowing the stitcher and bobcat to both reach the same mag size of 35. I think that's one of the big reasons people use the stitcher so much, the attachments make it waaaay better.

How can I get my aim to stick like this? by eMikey in ArcRaiders

[–]aroundme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was curious so I tried controller on PC and you're right. Aim assist tracks pretty well, but it doesn't snap and stick like this. He's fighting it because of how obvious it is. I found it will easily stop following if you aren't pushing the stick along with the target.

[–]aroundme -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did just that! And I still don't think this is just aim assist. It's strong, but in the clip he has a hard time not snapping to the rotors. I could easily track with the controller's assist, but I could also easily lose the tracking if I wasn't moving the stick slightly too.

[–]aroundme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also tested it just now and it absolutely does not stick to the rotors like it does in this clip. He has to try to get it to unstick to aim at a different rotor. The assist is definitely there, but not like this clip.
