Great sound design, and a nostalgic 1960s vibe that makes you feel like you're looking at photographs of your parents when they were kids.
Upward is without a doubt the best Payload map. Thunder Mountain has really serious Sniper issues, and just pushing the cart up that stupid hill is way harder than any first point should be.

It is still underrated and a decent enough map, though.

Upward>Borneo>Badwater>Swiftwater>Thunder Mountain>Snowycoast>Goldrush>Barnshitz>Poodoo

[third most played game on steam]
stop this meme

Upward>Badwater>Barnblitz=Borneo>Thunder Mountain>Goldrush>Hoodoo>Swiftwater>Snowycoast

Fuck that alien update, such a disappointment.

Hey guys! My favorite map is tc_hydro!

>install tf2 classic
>play hydro for the first time in years

In a way, I kind of miss it.

Snowycoast isn't that bad, it's been updated multiple times and it's much better since its initial release, but it was shit for starters I agree.

If you put Barnblitz that high, you really need to learn a thing or two about map design. First and last on that map are some of the worst, most blatantly RED-sided areas in any map that isn't Dustbowl.

Hoodoo for similar reasons does not belong anywhere above last place.

It was my favorite in vanilla. It showed the artstyle the best, ranging through everything, and the constant shifts in territories gave a variety of gameplay while still using half of the map from last round.

it gets points for being one of the earliest payload maps, and stage 2 is fun, but otherwise it's a crock of shit and Goldrush does its job better

That was SFM though. Pre-release SFM (which was 100x harder to use) but still SFM. Made it more impressive tbqh.

Fuck you. One of the regulars of a community server I went to kept fucking nominating that map the moment he can. And like every server, people always press 1 when the map votes came up, which happens to almost always be thundermountain. The server is also a fucking custom maps server but we always go to shitty thundermountain.

Badwater is better in every way anyways.

Which maps deserve to be deleted from the game?

Fuck you I love Junction. Tiny maps a best maps.

Every map that isn't Hydro

I have literally no memory of playing on this map past 2011

i find this only happens when i have a lot of my ram filled up for whatever reason. tf2 only uses like 500 megabytes and i could have 2 gigabytes free with a web browser open and this shit would still happen but if i close my browser it works perfectly. though im not a faggot who alt tabs ingame either

Well that's never happened to me before so I'm willing to assume your pc is just shit.

Turbine

>source engine has never misbehaved when I try to tab out of it

Are you and I talking about the same source engine? You must be lying. That simple fact is a meme by this point

>those extremely comfy casual valve pubs with 16 people
I miss those days

Sure it's misbehaved, but it's never crashed unless when alt+tabbing unless I was running a bunch of garbage that takes up a bunch of RAM in the background

>hating Turbine
Fuck you faggot

Turbine is actually happens to be the best CTF map, it's just a shit gamemode in general.

Don't mind me, just busy being the best unlockable.

Turbine is shit. To be fair, it might be okay in MGE

Casual mode turbine is fucking shit, but I do like chilling in 24/7 turbine servers.

excuse me, haha.

>what are airblasts

degreaser a shit

wasted potential: the game
thanks valve

the old version of rd_asteroid was far superior to the current one

Not that anyone cares since that ridiculously confusing game mode was a stillbirth that never made it out of beta.

you can still do them, and they are even better. they cost more sure, but you can switch to shotgun faster and birdshot niggers out of the sky which is great

>neo-Pyro
>worth playing

The Pyro was shit even pre-nerfs, why even bother? Just let the class die and mourn its loss like the rest of us.

any answer other than gunboats is wrong.

good unlock
shit class

rd_asteroid v1 actually seemed like a better version of CTF. I was sad to see it go.

>there are people on this very board who still play vanilla TF2 and not 10x

Still want some source on those titties in the background

he isn't the best but he is the most fun to play. more fun than scout and soldier easily. i would rather play pyro on pubs than anything else other than maybe spy

>tfw it got nerfed
Already took decent timing skills to even use, but now it's just weak.

Couldn't tell you, original image is ancient.

Goddamn I'm feeling the nostalgia.

pd_watergate is better than asteroid will ever be.

>I will never be that good at scout
Terrible feeling even though I poured so many hours into that class. I can't even keep up with my teammate's performance in a steamroll 6s match

Stop this shit

>hating on memes

No user, it is you who must kill yourself.

Is that seriously the default crosshair for the crossbow? They really should've given the crossbow something like the sniper rifle's default crosshair.

Come on user. Some fun doesn't hurt.

hey it could be worse, you could be a demo main like me
youtube.com/watch?v=j7jelqvvzxE

Why did valve buff the crossbow again? It's a fucking great weapon to see in use in 6s, but now it's tremendously superior to any of the needle guns.

because valve looked at pub stats where medic sees the least usage of any class

the audio looping bug is well documented user

Is it bad that watching this intensified my hunger

cant stop wont stop

they need to make it heal maybe 1/4th the amount. i am fucking tired of retards taking shots of faith every opportunity because it puts both the healer and the healing in fucking danger but muh risk/reward! remove the fucking weapon valve and make the other ones viable again. and make the ubersaw less effective already there is no justification at all to use anything else who thought this was a good idea

who /6s/ here

when did you guys discover that anyone with more than a thousand hours is an idleshitter? you know your power bill is probably more expensive than the hats, might as well buy them in the store

also reminder to use the nohats mod
teamfortress.tv/35222/no-hats-mod

>That pistol aim
God fucking damn, I don't even bother taking that weapon out until the enemy has 25 health because I know I'll miss at least 7 shots.

lol idling is for faggots

I just havent played very many other games in 6 years

>Medic doesn't get any credit for the kills

how does accuracy with these weapons work? does it deal damage 100 percent on the crosshair dot? i know visually it flies far away from your crosshair but i don't feel like thats quite the case for whatever reason.

the what

first bullet is perfectly accurate then there is some random spread, at the range most fights are you can land >90% of your shots if you have your crosshair dead center but this is pretty hard to do on strafing targets. Quad just happens to be a fucking tracking god.

Put it this way pistol is more accurate than the scattergun which already has a surprising amount of range. It's a good choice for finishing off retreating enemies who only have a sliver of health left.

hitscan

also scout is the best class in the game and dont let anyone tell you anything different

>muh class loyalty
no fuck you, if you main something you are a piece of shit. each class has a purpose

Eh scout's utility drops off the more players and defense classes there are. Soldier stays viable regardless of gamemode and player count. He's the best overall.

i wanna see you try and 1v1 a good scout as any class

ill wait

Demo is the strongest, then scout, then solider. Medic is too different to really compare

Demo hasn't been the strongest anything since the nerf. Scout and soldier both outperform him.

engineer, level 3 turrets, rescue ranger, next. i want to see you 1v1 a good soldier as a scout.

Youve obviously never mge'd a demo worth his salt. Also, it's team fortress 2, not 1v1 rust fortress 2

lol youre an idiot my dude

> i want to see you 1v1 a good soldier as a scout.
You're delusional if you think this is an even remotely fair fight. Scout can stay well out of rocket range and still do damage. Scout can also easily deny any jumps the soldier tries to do.

>demo beat scout
>1v1

He's 100% right though. Scout is mobile and good in open areas, while am engineer makes buildings over time. A demo counters an engi, who counters a scout, who more or less counters a demo.

Not to mention an engi can just use a gunslinger and instantly deny scouts

>it's a lenny spammer on your team match
>can't switch teams just to kill him repeatably because of the new update

>implying any maps are big enough for you to dodge my direct hit
im positive i could destroy the best scout player in the game with a pyro and my scorch shot.

>implying any maps are big enough for you to dodge my direct hit
oh yeah such a good weapon, every pro uses it
oh wait

are you implying a skilled direct hit user wouldn't be able to do more damage than a skilled blackbox/nubetube user?

>all these retards whining about 1v1 balance in a game explicitly designed to be team based

You're all cancerous newfags.

POST MORE

Damage doesn't mean shit if you can't hit anything with it. Are shitty lenny spamming lime green scouts your definition of "good"?

...

> if you can't hit anything with it
this is your definition of a skilled player? no, i don't think many scout players are good at all. they are mostly just shitters who get by because the enemy is incompetent with aim, they are the dps hotheads of crapcunts who would leave when things don't go their way, instead of dropping their "main"

>this is your definition of a skilled player
The best TF2 players in the world don't even use it because it's not consistent enough. Splash damage as it turns out is pretty fucking important.

BEST TF2 MAP+GAMETYPE COMING THROUGH

PLEASE MAKE WAY

Nice bait
Nobody likes doomsday

guess you will see me on the top then soon, ill only get better, im not afraid to train to play better with an objectively better weapon. it isn't as much about spam but timing your shots which is what makes it different to me.

Sometimes I play alone on this map because of its comfyness.

If it really was the best we'd also have sd_rockwater, sd_bombfactory, and sd_sawmill.

>tfw too intelligent for Source engine games

My favorite contemporary meme right here.

Mine are harvest, nucleus and kong king

Hydro is still the best looking map in the entire game. The fucking color palette is A++++++.

They should've reworked it into Payload or something, Hydro needs some fucking love.

>letting this happen
It's your fault.

>Harvest

Good taste, Anons.

>that golden sky
best skybox, why didn't more maps go full painterly like that?

I do love how neutral and muted Hydro looks. It manages to neutralize the awful cosmetics some asshats are wearing.

>the color palette
>the prop work
>the facade->spyco transitions
>those canyons
>the aesthetics in general
hydro is beyond the best looking map in the game, it's a gold standard of artpass map work

>wanted to make maps
>any maps with heavy water theme will attract LOL PYROSHARK :^3 spam
Why did they think letting that thing crit even in puddles and aesthetic water features like sawmill basement was a good idea? that thing is one of the worst designed weapons in the game

It would only be balanced if fire was extinguished by the same depths of water that the Neon Annihilator considers "wet". That means it would be essentially Pyro's only source of damage in damp areas.

i like this one, first balance change I heard that addresses the obnoxious puddleshark while keeping the dumb meme intact

Im guessing you take enjoyment in spawncamping the most?

The only fun I got out of TF2 anymore was dominating unusual-wearing shitters while wearing either a party hat or absolutely nothing, now every unusual shitter is pretending to be f2p too and it's not as fun anymore.
I cringed.

WE ARE IN THE BEAM

>tfw he was a regular at my old server

God truly a golden era of TF2

You use some crappy weapons but at least you look cool doing it

Thats doublecross retard

I kinda wanna start a server up that has a rotation of custom and stock maps, mostly ctf/payload/5cp.

Yeah make it stock maps with no bullshit and host it in the EU please.

Im in canada though..
Was thinking of stock + custom but other wise no gamechanging bullshit.

If I ever get loaded, I'll start a community of servers following a setup like this. I'm not really a patient dude so I'd probably leave it to the players to votekick, votemute, ban, whatever. I also don't want to deal with managing a moderation team either. Something else I'd probably do is let players send in suggestions or complaints though, like if a group frequenting the servers start abusing vote power, I can deal with stuff like that. I mainly want to emulate the atmosphere of legacy Valve pubs, servers that anyone can jump on, and maybe see how I can improve on that experience.

What would I do about autobalance though? It seems like something people both hate but sorely need.

Damn, dude, you're, like, a total badass.

You expected anything else from a Demo item? Demo only gets nerfs, just like Soldier only gets buffs, because of staff favoritism. Balance was never a concern.

actual best map coming through

>pd_watergate is better than asteroid will ever be again.
Fixed because the early version of the moonbase that was huge as fuck and had doors that would unseal as you killed robots was the tightest shit, and then Valve dumbed it down because muh playtesters, and it's STILL not homogenized enough to leave beta. And nobody has saves of the original map.

I don't even fucking play this game anymore. It's an abstract kind of agony.
