I mean since the TF2 community is so unbelivabely huge + the game is super popular even outside the community, if Valve remade TF2 on Source 2 through and through with new textures, models and everything (and of course, fix the bots), i feel like it would be one of the greatest events in the history of gaming. It would probably be even more popular than it ever was.

[@aboveaveragebayleaf9216]

I agree, but we will see what valve does with it. It could be huge though.

[@user-bkey]

well no duh it would but thats never happening lol which is why im glad the community is porting it, we might actually get a tf2 that gets updated again

[@Gigakoopz]

Why? They're just gonna port over the bloated cosmetic and also ruin the port of tf2 just like how it ruins tf2. That's what they did with the microtransaction in csgo to cs2. Both of those franchieses are hot garbage. Left 4 Dead 2 in source 2, now that is something I would love to see.

[@aboveaveragebayleaf9216]

@@Gigakoopz it could at least be more optimized

[@Gigakoopz]

@@aboveaveragebayleaf9216 You think the frame rate's gonna be better? On lower spec computers? It's going to be worse. They can try to optimize it so that it doesn't get reduced too much, but still. What would be a frame rate saver would be to not port over all the bloat obviously since more disk space from a game equals less frames.

The source 2 engine looks very nice. There needs to be a TF2 on the source 2 engine because it’ll look amazing tbh.

[@energeticyellow1637]

As opposed to tf2 on the goldsrc engine

[@vlim5601]

Looks ugly as shit. TF2's art style is designed for Source 1. A proper port done by Valve's own artists could look good, but simply slapping the existing assets into a new engine will always look ugly.

[@HyperrealisticLuigi]

​@BloodyMary as opposed to tf2 on the doom engine

[@Deliveredmean42]

​@@vlim5601that depends? It also means they haven't tweak everything to fit the anesthetics. You can also say the same Unreal Engine with its hyper realistic graphic will absolutely not work with cartoons or cel shaded graphics, and yet here we are with fortnite and Hifi rush. If Valve has the time (not valve time), or the community, they can absolutely make it perfect for that art style in Source 2.

[@hubertsingh832]

​@@vlim5601 The people working on it are limited by what S&Box is currently offering them, custom shader support was only recently added and they're still working on adding the toon shading that's reminiscent of TF2 characters They're also working on upgrading the models and changing weapon viewmodels to the style of L4D so that randomiser doesn't use broken animations anymore Once it's finished, it'll practically be a straight upgrade

[@mikeshaver-miller745]

Honestly, a Source 1.5 probably would have been cool, too. Think about how engines like Unreal evolved over time, leveraging hardware and various pieces of software tech for streaming level data in real time. Or, consider engines like Creation, which were built with vast level streaming in mind from the onset. Games like Titanfall, titanfall 2, Apex Legends and Portal 2 showed us that Source was incredibly ahead of it’s time. Visuals in those games are amazing, no question about it! Now, if only you didn’t have to wait while level spaces loaded every few minutes, that would be amazing!

[@RegularTetragon]

For a long time Source did get continuous updates, Portal 2 source was pretty much a totally different engine compared to Half Life 2 source, at a certain point though source accumulated so much technical debt that valve made a clean break with Source 2 and did a total engine rewrite

[@batorstudio]

Funniest thing: portal, csgo, and l4d2 use updated versions of source 1 And the version has completely different mod tools

actually at this point the game has TOO many problems that hasn’t been solved in years so if they decide to port it it’s kind of the same making again all the game or making a tf3, and don’t blame me but a tf3 could be way better for valve and players ( with the same market, like they did with cs2) and putting a continuity to the “real”story of the game and the tf2 mercenaries refusing to being replaced. It has a lot of potential and it’s kind of the same effort so… why not a tf3

[@Anarqism]

@@brandonalejandro2759 isnt tfs2 fanmade tho

[@thepunisherxxx6804]

Source maybe does the best job at feeling like you're in complete control of your actions for its games. The controls and movement are very responsive. You feel grounded, you feel like each tiny input has a direct expected result in the game. Mouse movement is great. Input latency is very low. Its something you take for granted. If you go back and play Half Life 1, it feels like you're moving on ice. Other games mouse controls don't feel as accurate as source. The way its rendered, something about the 3d world feels more grounded and real than others in a way I can't describe well. Its physics still hold up too. Most items feel like they have real weight and momentum. I think Source and valve in general excel at making the world very interactive in a believable way, making sure your controls are as accurate and tight as possible.

[@uwuLegacy]

you say all of this but nowhere in this rant do you mention modern game engines such as source 2. people with cs2 already did the work for you - it’s pretty much exactly the same

[@invalid_user_handle]

I think the _one_ reason why Valve hasn't yet considered a Source 2 port of TF2 is simply because of how _large_ it is. I mean, think of it. The game has had over *15* years worth of updates stacked onto it, not to mention the ardous task of simply updating a game across such a large engine gap. Unlike the jump from Goldsrc to Source 1, Source 2 overhauls damn-near everything. New map format, new resource format, you get the point, it hardly shares much with Source 1. It's something that the various teams at Valve just don't want to bother with at the moment, they're all busy working on Counter-Strike 2 at the moment.

[@brandonalejandro2759]

I would rather a tf3, because updating tf2 to source 2 is actually like making the hole game again and solving all the problems that through years have been accumulating, so if they have to do a lot of effort I would rather them making a little more effort to make it its own thing and fresh content not just the old things, like continuing the story that could be something like the old mercenaries are denying to being replaced with new ones and that stuff, idk if this makes it take more to release, I mean we’ve already waited a lot of years we can wait a little more

@@No-mq5lw My favorite fan theory I made up about the third game is that you're mostly playing as carrier survivors tasked out to do a few jobs for the remnants of US government in trying to find a cure, so you send a team with more tactical training to search for potential ways to cure the virus. Problem, it's been so long that infected might have evolved to be worse and more varied. Bigger problem, not all carriers are happy with how things turned out, so they became raiders and WILL shoot the players on sight. So it ends up being a three way brawl between the survivors trying to find a cure for the virus, the carriers pissed at being mistreated and abandoned (Evidenced by the Parish) and infected still on the hunt to kill.
