It can be truly magical when your team all goes the same class, that looks even better since they were all gunslinger engie.
The potted plant just joined the smash bros roster. Now all that's left of the TF2 dev team is the janitor and the baby.

Team Crabwalk Rocketjump Fortress is going to be entering her terrible twos soon so expect rocky times ahead for TF2.

I found it really hard to believe that he's truly sorry when he decided to announce his comeback through an ARG.
Yeah, I can kind of understand why he did it (fear of anger from a community that... doesn't let go easy, being a stupid teenager, etc.) and it's cool that he owned up to it instead of taking the easy way and saying "I got better! :)" but between the ARG thing and the whole "virtue-signalling e-celebs" accusation he hasn't really handled the return well.

Here's what Tyler with Valve News Network has heard about upcoming updates.
He's heard a new update is coming soon. He's heard that the heavy will get a new weapon set (and possibly other classes may get some weapons as well) and there will be another class war vote. Here's also heard the theme could be either war themed (probably Frontline) or classic themed.
So basically maybe something soon (which isn't too surprising since it's been a pretty long time since Jungle Inferno).
Every time I watch someone playing the game (like in the video above) I desperately want to play TF2. But the TF2 I want doesn't exist anymore. And I'm not talking about items or whatever that a lot of people like to hate on. In fact, I like the variety that stuff brings. It's just the way I played it, with a solid group of people on a consistent server, night after night.
Maybe the game should die after all...
I don't mean it!!!
Sort of.
Sequel, please. Refresh and reinvigorate.
I know it won't and can't happen.

Here's a long story about what happened to me tonight on a casual server.
Ok so I dived back into tf2 after another year long break and had the strangest experience with an online community in ages.
Started as huntsman sniper on a payload map. Instantly miss a demoman by spawn and get killed, leading to our engineer's teleporter entrance getting destroyed. My fault to be fair, but I was still rusty to say the least.
Within seconds the engineer is in chat saying "kick shit sniper" to my team, and starts a vote to kick me. I feel a little bit deflated but still try my best despite the looming vote kick. The vote fails and I feel relieved, manage a lucky kill and jarate assist, but my confidence is boosted slightly.
Oh but this Engineer wasn't done yet. This guy (with a Donald trump profile picture, just an observation) proceeds to say in team chat "if the sniper isn't kicked then I'm not building teleporters". He then starts another vote to kick me. Wow, I thought, that is some serious bitterness he has in a casual server.
The best part was when the vote failed again, another person on my team said "you know, we could just kick you instead". Boom, a vote starts and he gets kicked in seconds. I was just sitting there grinning, I couldn't believe that just happened. I ended up changing to demo part way through and put up a decent fight.
We lost the game in the end but I didn't care, I was having fun trying my best for the team who had my back.

Obviously it can vary from server to server but I find that a lot of people who play this game are usually pretty chill. I've seen stuff like that happen too.
I think the silly tone of the game helps contribute to this.
I'm joining the military next month, and in anticipation I'm taking this month off from work. If anybody wants to party up I'm available pretty much all day every day of March.

We have a small group that still plays TF2 sometimes. I'll send you a discord invite to our group.
Yeah if it was a game like CS:GO or rainbow six siege, I have a feeling I might not have been given the time of day by my team.
I was doing terribly when I first got back into it, missing shots and running into ambushes. I feel like I've been getting back into the swing of it now though. I hadn't even played with a keyboard and mouse in months. I don't know how some players can be so impatient with people who are obviously less skilled, we all start somewhere after all.
I do wish TF2 had a better tutorial for the different weapons and game modes. It can be pretty overwhelming at first. I would have tried going on a CTF map but they go on forever sometimes with people treating it more like a team deathmatch mode.
what is a good site to sell items for cash? I used bitskins for my csgo stuff and for a while I was rocking their smaller niche tf2 side but it isnt big enough. i have a luchadore with sunbeams unusual that needs to pay my bills, not interested in getting a stupid amount of crate keys
OP
OP
I would give marketplace.tf a shot, that's the premier TF2 buying/selling website and they payout through Paypal. They don't just buy from you though, once it sells they pay you minus 10% of the selling price.
For the 1st time ever... I played TF2 for the 1st time this weekend. Funny enough, it's on The Orange Box from 360 disc via Xbox One BC.
And, it turns out has a dedicated player base still. Full games constantly. Though, very vanilla, very fun. Little bit of lag from time to time.
Idk why I never played TF2 before now. Esp as I used to love TFC back during early/mid 2000s. Played it an insane amount. Hell, even helped make maps for it (nothing popular or really good, lol)
I wonder if my laptop could even handle the game, probably not.

If you like the 360 version I would suggest giving the PC version a shot, it's free 2 play so it costs nothing to try and it's quite a bit different, having gotten 10 years of content updates with new weapons, balance changes, new features, new game modes and new maps. My favorite game mode is payload and it wasn't even in the launch version of the game.
It can run poorly, TF2 isn't exactly the best optimized game. The game basically pushes the source engine to it's limits.

For anyone that missed it the VR game Hot Dogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades is getting a TF2 themed update:
Tyler at VNN was able to get an interview with one of the guys working about it about how they got permission from Valve to do a TF2 update and what changes they had to make to the weapons:

Looks like it's crates 1-20 along with 82 and 85 that give a guaranteed unsual. I unboxed all 8 of my 82 and 85s and got an unusual from all of them.
Holy crap, you're right! 5 for 5 for me. I wonder what they will do. I'm guessing an inventory rollback to just before the patch dropped and refunding keys used.
OP
OP
Looks like 20 doesn't actually work, I tried it and it gave me stranges. Everything else worked though. I unboxed a few unusuals.
I imagine tomorrow will be the first day in a long time Gabe Newell has thought about TF2.
I unboxed four, I hope I get to keep them. I'm not being too greedy right? I've never owned any unusuals.
The most I imagine they'll do is trade lock the hats, if they even do that. Probably just fix the crates and tell everyone to enjoy their new $6 Stout Shakos.

Update on the Great Crate Depression: http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=53025
Basically the first unusual you unboxed you can trade, the rest are trade locked to your account. You'll also be able to refund them if you don't want untradable unusuals.

Looks like my first unbox was a Miami Nights Dark Falkirk Helm. Not great for selling looks like it's pretty low tier.
