Honestly, I'm not liking this as much as I thought I would. There just aren't enough maps, and I think they pared down the gameplay a little too much. I played Q3F for years (never played TF or TFC), and I'm finding it hard to adjust to such simplified gameplay. Supposedly, they took out grenades to make the classes more distinct, but without the demo's cluster bombs, or the scout's flash, they're just not the same.

I'm not sure this is the right topic for this post. If not, please fix. This is just all TF2 talk. Nothing else. Pyromania update? Was it awesome or not?
So yea, how's it going? Currently TASing: Nothing

YoungJ, there is already a thread of TF2: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6228 Please search before making a topic. I'll merge these topics in a minute.

I've spent 309 hours on this game already, and it's still fun. I got it when it became free-to-play. My nick is dada78641 in case anyone wants to add me to their friends list.

2fort is nice as long as there aren't too many people on there. I'm partial to Harvest, Badlands, Barnblitz, Viaduct and Nucleus. Out of the ctf maps probably Turbine. I mostly play as Engineer (record: 60 kills, 10936 damage), otherwise usually Soldier.

I usually play as Sniper or Spy. There is an awesome MOD server i usually play in, IP: 69.162.82.210:27016. It's so awesome.

I have 284 hours spent currently. My favourite map is cp_foundry, I probably have atleast 100 hours just clocked on that map. I usually play any class besides Sniper, unless I'm using the huntsman.

Spy is pretty much the only class I can't play (although I also play Scout extremely rarely, usually only for the occasion that a point really needs to be captured, or on low gravity Orange maps).

Never played orange maps. What is the significance of them besides being orange and low gravity?

The middle control point can be easily taken over by either team. Causing a simple 20 minute match being as long as 2 hours or more. That and everything is out in the open for snipers, demoman, and soldiers to get at everyone on a point.

All this becuase of Source Filmmaker?

Yes...? Anyway, I like payload and payload race maps. It's such a fun being Soldier, pushing cart and having some BOOM, or as Engie to set up my Sentry and fail. My fav maps? GoldRush and NightFall.

I don't play TF2 anymore. I do Idle in TF2. I also found a way to disable Pyro Vision, while keeping the weapons.

Valve should have done more for the unloved class. The WAR! Update was the best of the bunch. Soldiers and Demos going crazy on each other.

Been playing a lot of TF2 myself too and for some reason I got attached to the Medic since I started testing it out. And the Pyromania update was nice, though it would've been nicer had there been any new stuff for the medic :P

I never used the Equalizer much, but its recent splitting up made me try it out again. I'm using the Escape Plan right now and man, it's awesome. I can't believe I wasn't using this before. There's nothing as useful as being able to move about as quickly as a Scout when you really need to.

People still play TF2? I used to absolutely love that game, played it since early 2008 with an accumulated 584 hours. Then of course, Valve proceeds to gradually ruin it over time. The game had a good run for me, but I rarely ever play it these days.

No, they actually made it BETTER. 2008? That was the original Pyro update and GOld Rush update. And of course the heavy update. Made the game better than ever! I'm not usually one for updates (eg: Windows 8) but this game's updates are awesome!

620 hours played here. I still really like the game, and the ways they have managed to improve on it over the years have really impressed me.
