With the clip brush on the balcony on the Sniper shoot training, it gives me the impression you were to have your very own bots running around the map and going for the Intel, providing for a "realistic" training scenario where you could still win by just vibing as sniper.

[@irregularassassin6380]

That's a good thought. Perhaps you were supposed to have your own scripted berserker pyro, and you had to both defend your pyro, and stop theirs.

the best way to learn Spy, is to play 'Holiday punch Hoovy' - you get more HP, less people instantly kill you out of nowhere, and you use literally the exact same melee mechanic- only in a funny way.

[@owenb-r5271]

@@crazyabe4571 The problem with that is that Holiday Punch is an unlockable item, which not every F2P new player will have access to. And by the time they would've got it, they may have given up on learning the playstyle of Spy or have quit TF2 entirely.

looking at the logic now it seems you would get an entire team it would consist of a heavy soldier scout another scout another soldier another heavy a pyro and another engineer while the enemy team would get medic scout and sniper

[@boodle399]

The spy one feels about fitting for how spy is treated ingame

[@Eshyyyyy]

I can only assume the Spy map is just a MUCH earlier concept of the one in the final game. Just laying down the basics for the class. Demo’s is honestly an enigma, as it seems like it was intended to be released, but they just never did. Since the text strings have been in the files for years at this point. The Engineer one seems like it had a lot of work put into it before the eventual “we stopped giving a shit, shut it down” nature of TF2’s tutorial.

[@darksuperganon]

I wonder how a Pyro training course would have worked considering that Pyro didn't have airblast when the game released. Like would the text have just read "W+M1 lol good luck"?

[@fiafiaaaa]

Training mode was added in 2010, when Pyro already had his airblast

[@topminator2991]

It would probably tell you to hide behind a corner with your flamethrower equipped and wait for the enemy to arrive. Shoot the enemies outside your flamethrower range with your shotgun.

Spy never really made sense to me as a class until I saw that tutorial map. It really put the class into perspective in a way that nothing else could.

[@hoodcate]

This would've been such a good idea.... Too bad they couldn't finish it, TF2's problematic tutorial is why people tend to get lost and leave the game early.

[@attackedbysnakes3640]

Brain blast idea: what if Valve were to implement the tutorials, as a way for F2P players to be able to use chat and other features? It could serve as a bot filter and as a way to force new players to learn before they hop in

[@Padgriffin]

Bots would just breeze past the tutorial in 10 minutes, the scripted nature of the maps makes it potentially TASable so they potentially don’t even need hacks turned on, just a script that inputs at specific times

[@double2254]

Perfect world would have been that they did finish and implement the 8 soldier tutorial maps as the first ones you got to play unless you skip the tutorial, then have 1 map for the other 8 classes teaching the fundamental class specific mechanics of each (like with the engi having to defend on dustbowl, demo attacking and learning his arching projectiles, sniper needing to snipe enemies, preferably a better tutorial then that spy one, etc)... Let soldier be the noob class, he is one of the highest skill ceiling classes and one of the most expressive classes in the game... if any class was to get a 8 map tutorial gauntlet on how do you play its him. Just having that plus the one for each class going into detail would have made all the difference for everyone, we all were noobs at one point and something as basic as that would make tf2's difficulty curve not be such a steep incline requiring outside information If any consolation, even finishing and implementing the solider tutorial today would be a nice gesture

[@MetalX34]

tbh a lot of these maps feel more like bloat, not really a fix to the lackluster tutorial. a lot is just "go cap points with bots" or "practice shooting", which you can already do fine in other trainings or the ai mode. let's not act like this was a missed opportunity. what the game would have really benefited from is teaching the more esoteric mechanics: basics on how other classes work, how knockback sends you flying whether it's from enemy shot or your weapon, how crouch jumps are actually important. would have also loved a map about evading explosives, cause i feel still too many pubbers are really clueless about how this works whereas it should be part of the abc. in any case, you could condense all that in a few maps.

[@blazinghyena8154]

feels bad that valve never finishes/updates tutorials for their games but i also feel like it would also introduce the problem of how much they would have to update them as new stuff gets added/discovered and the tools and methods you use to approach a situation changes easy to imagine a person coming out of a finished version of these after a few hours and then still getting absolutely domed by something they didn't know existed and get pissed off at that

[@magicmanscott40k]

[@chuckles2364]

If someone made full training maps (in the style of the released ones, not these) for the remaining classes with all the programming done do you think they'd consider adding them? Seems like change wise comminity maps are the biggest ones we'll get for now, so if someone made very well made ones that got enough exposure, I wonder if that could truly amount to a meaningful change.
