maining heavy, play some casual and community servers and adding some custom sounds

How would you all change stock melee weapons for Scout, Pyro and Heavy to be worth using and still basic/simple? I'm not asking about other classes, because they still can utilize them, while those three pretty much never have a reason to do so.

For stock Axe I thought of 100% knockback reduction while active, because Pyro 1v1 is junky, where the one who wins is either the one with shotgun or the one moving mouse left and right, because of weird coding. Using Melee in those fights pretty much always results in loosing, because you will just get airblasted away.

For stock Fists I though of "Ability to switch to Fist while holding fully Wind-Up minigun". Heavy is dangerous while firing minigun, but he is also very vulnerable to pretty much everything while at it and the Wrap-down time really enforces that, which results players going just "Full Primary Mode" on him. Also, good scout will pretty much always win against good heavy at close range, because as deadly as minigun is, the velocity gap of those classes makes heavy need very fucking good tracking and scout just somewhat advanced movement. So the idea of those refreshed stock Fists is to make heavy more re-active to danger, so he would have at least some chance to dodge or make enemies harder to hit you.

And for stock Metal Bat, I... have no idea. I just can't think of something.

So again, do you have your own balance ideas for these three Melees?

yo just wanted to mention that when I was playing some mann vs machine (advanced, boot camp.), and I decided to be an engineer, but next thing I know, I basically became part of the triple engineers, there were basically three engineers in our team. (me included.).

(although there were some of the other players playing on other classes, but shhhh.)

and guess what.

we FUCKING WON LET'S GOOOOOOO.

(yes this just happened now and I wanted to mention this right away.)

Yeah, multiple engineers is probably the most chaotic gameplay on mvm from all those sentry busters. It can look like a mine field.

I love playing soldier, because I find his hardass personality to be cool and I like the rocket launcher.

I gotta ask, are they ever going to do something about these sniper aimbots?

I saw in a Tyler McVicker video where a Team Fortress 2 Classic dev came to Valve offices, they basically said to him they know about the bot problem but aren't able to do anything about it cause of like money and manpower. It's very depressing.

Man, these people are really passionate about characters they are acting as. Good to see, good to see.

I really hope that Scout and Engineer's voice actors are able to join the group lol.

Nathan, scouts voice actor, has been active in tf2 community and it seems he decided to just take different direction than that.

Grant Goodeve, engineers voice actor, doesn't seem to be attatched to Engineer, but to be fair, it is not common for voice actors to treat their role as just a job, so tf2 is pretty lucky in that regard.

ever since casual got filled up with bots there's not much of an option other than casual

Community servers, TF2Classic, Open Fortress, and Pre-Fortress are pretty alive. Casual may be dead but there are still options to get your TF-related fix.

thx

Europe servers don't have much bots, at least compared to Asia or USA. They mosty Focus on maps I don't like i. e. Harvest or Banana Bay.

Just traded some items for a Bazaar,Tomislav and a fish, I’m eating good today

What are your guys' thoughts on the TF2 Fanmod "The Espionage Project"? I've been following the development of it for some time, even before CoaXion took up the reigns and it was being developed inside TF2C.

Psst! How many of you are artists? Have you ever wanted to design a warpaint for TF2?

Well, now you can contribute to a collaborative warpaint project. OP wants to get it into the actual game!
