60 on 2fort was plenty on this one server and there was no lag. Another had 70 and bits of lag here and there so I guess it's just testing what your server can handle. Not just stick it on 100 right away because you can lol.

I love the fact that rt still is willing to play tf2 despite him distancing him from the game. This year has been really good and exciting for the tf2 community with the summer update dropping.

[@GabrielShitposting]

So many old ones giving TF2 another round, if only for a day, is such an incredible thing. It's nostalgic, thanks Dan.

[@Nezerac_]

That thumbnail reminds me of a very special moment that lives rent free in my head. One fateful day, I was on a x100 server as an engineer. I was chilling on the top of the highertower with a bunch of other engis. One of them had the brilliant idea of trying to crash the server with dispensers. It was so loud, but eventually we did do it. Best moment of my life.

[@JBRedux]

I was there during the last part and I can attest to the fact that having to climb the entire tower TWICE as a heavy was painful

[@wahoodotwav]

all jokes aside, the "one spy vs everyone else" sounds like a really fun idea when it's not in a 100-player server

[@G-Ilan-M]

Thats basically among us

[@germanscience7246]

I remember this stream. Because right as I saw the community post from RT I raced over to my computer, got on the server and then pulled up the twitch stream. I then watched with absolute horror as they finished the group photo and RT promptly ended the stream. It felt like the worst bit of bad luck. Though the hour I played afterwards on the server was some of the most fun I've ever had on a tf2 server ever

[@wisdomax2891]
