thanks for watching! If you're interested in trying out this side of TF2, check out some resources in the description. I should note that I think the casual side of this game is amazing too. That's part of what makes this game so good: you can enjoy it as a social game or a sandbox to mess around in, but it also has this incredible hidden depth and nuance that goes unappreciated. Also, I've set up a pub server using the competitive mappool and only allowing 6s classes for people looking to get a feel for the game's mechanics without dealing with casual's chaos. Just paste "connect pinguefy.sserv.gg" in the TF2 console and it'll connect you to the server. Here is a discord server for it: discord.gg/Vyh2pbATdA

Amazing video. I've "quit" TF2 atleast 3 times and every time I find myself coming back to it. There's nothing else like it. In no other game is there such a variety of movement, aiming types, playstyles, and communities. One thing that keeps me hooked on it is community servers. In no other FPS, besides CSGO, can I just join a 24/7 community-hosted server whenever I want. In Overwatch you've got custom games, but they're unreliable and rarely have what I want. In Valorant you can't make public servers. But in TF2 if I want to do 1v1s I can just join an MGE server, if I want to play something deathmatch-esque I can just play a hightower server, if I want something goofy I can play one of the countless RTD/Randomizer/1000x servers out there, and if I want to play the game in its normal state with less worries about bots and cheaters I can just play a vanilla community server. It's great.

Competitive stuff has only been a relatively small portion of my TF2 experience, but nonetheless, through this dumb little hat simulator, I have encountered tons of different people that I never would have otherwise, all of whom I cherish one way or another. Thanks to this game, I met: - Scores of incredibly talented game devs, artists, and other non-video content creators - Tons of passionate, skilled, and hilarious comp players across many different teams - Lazypurple, through one of the most contrived and ridiculous chain of events imaginable - One of my favorite D&D DMs of all time, and an incredibly inspiring fantasy writer to boot - My loving partners, who I literally wouldn't be on this Earth without And thousands of different players of all skill levels that I will never see again, and yet have touched me on a level I can't even begin to properly describe. Though I might regret my more obsessive tendencies with this game (mainly in the past, but not totally gone), I will never regret spending the time I did with this game, ever. Even in the darkest moments of my life, this game was here for me. It still is, even if many of the people I once played it with have moved on from it. Hell, to some degree, even I have moved on from it. I don't play it nearly as often as I once did, and yet it continues to live in my head rent-free. And honestly? That's alright with me. Even 15-going-on-16 years later, this game has so much potential, not just with competitive, but with everything. I have never seen a game be kept alive (if only barely at times) to the degree TF2 has. I don't know what crack cocaine-level australium dust this game has been snorting, but god damnit I want some. Jokes aside, this community is an absolute goldmine of talent, passion, and creativity, one that I hope never runs out of gold. Maybe this is what the "Team" in "Team Fortress 2" really means. Not just 9 quirky mercenaries, but hundreds of thousands of mercs from all different countries and skillsets and walks of life coming together to keep these silly gravel wars going until the end of days. TF2 means a hell of a lot to me, and it definitely seems to mean a lot to you too, along with most everyone mentioned in this video. Thank you for making it.

Trust me, tf2 is a blast but the problem alot of people have with the game is definitely a massive skill mountain if you want to actually improve. it’s sad to see it never get valve’s full attention and has been on the wayside for a while now until recent news. Still, there’s a community behind it all, just if it got the Fortnite treatment with a continuous battle pass system ( even if it goes against the values and principles of every shooter genre player ) or MVM updates, it’d be revitalized and in the spotlight once more. Or maybe it’s just better the way it is, having honest and small but close communities. Honestly can’t tell.

@@Iwatoda_Dorm "the problem alot of people have with the game is definitely a massive skill mountain if you want to actually improve" I don't understand this argument. Isn't this actually a huge boon for any competitive play? A good competition is one in which the best players win, and the more room there is to improve, the more serious things can get. TF2 is theoretically better equipped than bigger comp games like LoL and Fortnite to get people over the mountain anyway since there's such a huge, robust casual community that if you're new, you can take all the time you want to get familiar with the game without any pressure.
@Iwatoda_Dorm2 жыл бұрын
@@morristf2887 Yeah, I made it too simple sounding. I say this in the sense that most people won't take this game seriously enough to merit wanting to play competitively. It's a skill mountain that people have to overcome through casual lobbies, bots, spy crabs, mini turrets, hoovies, and so much more fun but insanely frustrating shenanigans for a serious player. Community servers are definitely still there, but it's hard to stay on a competitive server and not get banned, and finding ones that are alive is even harder. Edit: plus, playing competitively on a casual servers is never gonna be the same. That's why so many people are indifferent with competitive play- less than half of the cast is actually played competitively and you'll never be able to practice for that in most servers.

I've been playing TF2 since I was 10 years old. I started September 23, 2013. I haven't stopped since. While other games like Overwatch have came out, and I love Overwatch, I can never stop playing TF2. It's my first real entry into the FPS genre and it taught me how to be a teammate, friend, and most importantly, myself. This game made me who I am today and I wouldn't have the life I have thanks to it. This was truly a great video and it really nailed the points I have personally about the comp scene in this game. If Valve were to ever, even in the most unlikely scenario, update the comp mode into a proper balanced, fair, and fun matchmaking system, there is a good chance we could see comp TF2 have new life. I yearn for that day. But, until it comes, I will play comp Overwatch, because it's the closest thing to it.

Hey that's me sitting on the ground at 2:13! i58 was the only LAN I was able to attend, but god damn it was so brilliant watching these games live and participating in the open tourney with my mates. In that i58 clip, we were all packed in such a small area. Wedged between a Hearthstone tourney, and a main stage with Rainbow 6 Siege. Yet we were the loudest and most packed fuckers in there. If you could find any vods from either the hearthstone or R6 game at that time, you would most certainly hear us in the background going mental at the Full Tilt game. Truly phenomenal. I'll always cherish the time I put into this game, even if for me it was mostly spent being a cheesy spy main in Highlander. To this day, I still believe that it is one of the highest mechanical skill FPS's of all time, and the reward you would intrinsically gain from your increasing skill level is the most addictive drug I've ever come across. The fun I had and friends I made were such an important part of my adolescence. This scene deserved to be so big, and it's thanks to the incredible community that the beating heart of a grassroots scene persists even to this day. Nothing but respect for anyone who invested time and dedication into this scene, you're all real ones and drove the spirit of competition for a bunch of us nerds, as well as providing insane entertainment.

The HRG vs Mix^ clip with cbear commentating brought back huge nostalgia for me. I was a huge fan during the i46 / i49 / i52 period and it's something I remember fondly. The American teams absolutely smashing through any competition at i46, epsilon at i49, the fan favourite Aussie teams (yuki & sheep just coming out of the other end of the world and being fucking amazing was so good). It's so sad it never got more traction from Valve themselves considering how much effort and money the community put in. Then OW came out and the game had already lost some of my fav casters, either due to OW or just moving on, and a bunch of the best TF2 players at the time jumped ship. One time a friend told me that nothing makes him as happy as TF2 makes me. This game will live in my head forever.

I really wish more games widened the gap between "casual" and "competitive". Nobody ever yells at me about what to do in casual tf2. But in valorant or overwatch, it's a norm. And besides - i like casual and competitive gaming, so I want the game to separate both to be great at both.

Legitimately one of the best made TF2 videos I've ever seen. I played Medic in ESEA-I S5 (shoutout to the fraud that was blight gaming) and have been somewhat out of the scene since, but it is crazy how even after all of these years so many of the points back then still hold true. The things that I thought while playing competitively, the reason why it wasn't bigger, the reason why it was so ill-supported you captured wonderfully. TF2 has always been an absolutely fascinating competitive scene for how grassroots it was and for how divisive the mere EXISTENCE of it was with the casual/everyday audience of the game. This was the sort of video that needed to be made for a long, long time and I'm glad that one finally exists.

Something profound is at the opening, where Pinguefy is talking about the FPS games where movement is the most important, Quake, CS, TF2, TF|2, and Apex Legends, which 4/5 of which come from the Source Engine (or a modified version thereof), which is based off of the Quake engine. There's something to be said that the games which are the richest in movement, are also based on an engine well over 2 decades old, has not only held up this well in an industry that moves so fast, but also that the industry has neither created an equal, or was willing to create an equal

Dude, its always a blessing to see another quake fan, arena/movement is a lost art. Doing everything at a breakneck speed is the jam, the movement freedom in this gernes is the reason it never get old, the skill ceiling i would arguably said infinitely high. As a titanfall veteran, i appreciate teamfortress 2 as much, ironically i excel at spy class in teamfortress, the class that has no place in competitive haha, but as much as you say, spy has very similar mobility to scout, fooling ppl to look at certain angle while facing me to trick stab all to the movement system, a melee focused class could be effective. I got emotional over this production, your video has the passion and love in it, banger. Ok thats bit much word, anyway thank you for this documentary.

It makes me nostalgic for an alternative life where I didn't put the game down back when it came out (and focusing excessively on SC2)... it's a kind of sadness of having missed a chance to be a deeper part of this community but it also fills me with absolute joy to see how deeply people have connected over this game.

I started playing a few days ago. I'm loving the game. The first time I tried it I closed it before starting the tutorial because I didn't like the interface of the menu, I thought it looked ugly. But, oh boy, a few weeks after, I tried it again out of boredom and I wouldn't stand up of my chair for 8 hours straight LOL. I've never ever had so, so much fun playing any game, let alone any shooter. I've never seen any shooter where enemies would start dancing together and commit suicide in such a comical way. I'm 20 and I've never had a PC before, so I might've missed some other games. But I don't think there is a funnier shooter than this. This is the pinnacle of arcade shooter for me. I'll continue playing, and I hope I can contribute to this community (despite having arrived like 15 years late)

I got like twenty hours, but it was still a hilarious twenty hours of wondering where the fuck that one spy is. I encourage everyone to at least play this game at least once for that one memorable experience with a friend or random person.

In my youth I would consider 6s "not real TF2". Basically only because it wasn't the format I was used to, playing on 24 or 32 man pub servers. I'm almost 30 now so it's given me time to reflect and chill out about things. I wouldn't say I'm a superskilled player at TF2 but I know my way around and I know what a Spy is doing if he tries to lead me up a staircase. I still can't chain-rocketjump properly and no way in hell can I bunnyjump. All that to say I was never interested in 6s and I'm still not, which is fine. I've never even glanced at a casted 6s game. But I decided to watch this video, so thanks for the insight into an aspect of one of my beloved games that I was never familiar with.

What I think sells TF2 to me as being the greatest video game of all time is that you could make a video like this about so many aspects of it. The game's balance, art direction, writing, characters, casual gameplay, competitive potential, influence on culture, and more. It's a game so multifaceted, complicated, and important that it could easily be the subject of a number of academic level pieces of literature. It's a work of art you can *study*, much like a classical painting or important story. It's like a Mona Lisa of video games, and I don't think anything else in the medium even comes remotely close to its unmitigated perfection.

I forged some great friendships and memories, things I would never trade to get that time back. All of my friends eventually moved away from the game, I too went with them. However, I still find myself playing every once in a while. When I do, I play for weeks at a time, the game just has that itch that nothing else can quite scratch. This game will always live on in my mind. As long as the servers remain up, I will come back. Like I always do.

This was great. Yea, saying that TF2 has better movement than Titanfall 2 is definitely a hot take but it's a good conversation as you're video is right that TF2's movement adds another element to the mechanics and the mental but it takes a much longer time to master. Titanfall 2's movement is easier to pick up and feels nicer but lacks the full range of what TF2's movement offers to players in a competitive sense. Personally, I like Titanfall's movement better but I can't deny TF2's dominance over practical movement

It's a great point he made about how combat movement in titanfall 2 isn't good; I've played competitive titanfall for about 3 years now (5v5 ctf pickups and tournies, 1900hours) and it's absolutely true; most of titanfalls gunfights at a high level are on the ground with 1 or more of the players. Very rarely will you get an actual 1v1 midair, it's almost always grounded because aerial movement is harder to aim with and is extremely predictable in most cases. It's why I've branched out to apex, because it's micro movement within fights makes so much more of a difference than titanfalls macro movenent where its mostly for rotation and flagcapping. Team Fortress 2 seems to incorperate both and I've never given it a serious try but I might have to now

Which is the real reason Titanfall 2's combat movement can fall flat, frankly, and nothing to do with the actual mechanics themselves. Guns like the Devotion and the Alternator back when it was one of the god weapons are so oppressive that when combined with COD recoil they hamper one of the game's selling points. TF2 doesn't suffer from this because hitscan weapons are actually properly balanced around the movement, except for Sniper in the hands of a top tier gamer.

@@Calvin_Coolage Tell me 1 game where in a competitive scene, the players don't use the meta to win. You won't be able to, because a meta is integral to competitive play. The reason hitscans are integral to competitive titanfall has nothing to do with "metawhoring" and everything to do with the fact that it's decended from Titanfall 1 which was entirely hitscan save for titans and the kraber. Titanfall was never meant to be balanced around competitive play and because we don't have the tools we do the best we can, which makes the game into mostly hitscan tracking in fights. You're implying a ban or limit on hitscans would somehow make competitive ctf better and you're absolutely clueless and wrong. The inherent randomness of projectiles after long distances paired with the speed in which people capture flags just makes projectiles as they are in Titanfall 2 not healthy for a good competitive game
