How would you make TF2 better?

[KarthXLR]

I'm being serious with this one. I've been talking to a lot of people who have been unsatisfied with TF2 as of late, so out of curiosity, what would you do to make the game better? Buffs, nerfs, removing features entirely?

Personally I would want Valve to playtest their weapons more. Some of them are downright annoying to be killed by. Also optimization.

Normalized damage range for all weapons for starters. Due to me being a gigantic faggot spy player, I'd love for the ambassador to have reduced falloff damage. I seethe every time I do a long range headshot, and then a 13 damage bodyshot.

kill the game like apb

make tf3 with more jetpacks

Deal, only if the jetpacks get hats though.

Steam Wallet money transfers via trading screen.

Also, needs more hats.

1. remove DR. totally goes against everything the class is about. it's like giving scout a long range weapon.

2. add headshots to sydney sleeper, but charging only adds time to jarate effect, not dmg. effective sidegrade.

3. add rollers to l&l so it's not terrible

4. crits pass through FOS resistance

5. use the beta to playtest updates. idgaf if it removes the surprise, it's essential to balance.

The class is designed to cause paranoia, and reduce the effectiveness of a team. I think DR covers that quite well.

The Heavy needs to be able to fly.

Also, a sentry gun that shoots out tiger sharks instead of rockets.

Also, make the backburner an actual weapon.

Degreasers for everyone!

This.

Can run Killing Floor or any other Unreal game with all eye candy maxed and hundreds of zombies on screen @ once, solid FPS at vsync refresh.

TF2 is like lol nope.



Also TF2 would be nice with hit detect... oh wait nvm.




Totally remove random damage modifiers and random crits. There would be no more tf_damage_disablespread or tf_weapon_criticals at all, just gone.

Neither add anything to the game, and only serve to coddle the unskilled. Nothing is better than drilling someone from ~6m with a shotgun to hit for 52 damage, then hitting them twice more in succession to get 13 and 21 damage. Damage no longer rewards good aim consistently, it rewards the random number generator, randomly.

And random crits? Just fucking retarded. There's no upside to them, they simply unbalance every encounter they happen in. There is nothing "balanced" about being a heavy fighting a demo, eating one pipe with your face, and then instead of your minigun killing him before you, he gets a random crit pipe and blasts you for 330 damage and wins.

That's actually game breaking.

Okay, how about removing the ability to mod the render depth of player and wall textures? I like a few custom skin and models, but if a server allows those, then anyone can walk in with a few texture mods and instantly see everyone through any wall. Instead they give us sv_pure which would be totally UNNEEDED if they didn't allow for such a modification in the first place.

A few minor balance tweaks and performance changes



Really to me at least, its most about WHO you play with rather than WHAT you are playing. So when someone stops playing it just means the server is not enjoyable enough to make up for any dislike of the game  :-\

uninstall worked for me

i logged on to steam today and saw that tf2 had randomly uninstalled itself so i checked my steam folder and all the files are still there so i have no idea what i'm downloading right now but it's gonna be about 2 hours until i get my game back. i don't know why i want it back.
