Things you like in TF2 that everyone else hates: Bandwagons are for Squares
317 replies, posted
Alright, I think we've had more than enough "things I hate" or "stuff that annoys me" threads in this part of the forum. There's enough bitching in the game itself. How about a more positive note: What're some items/maps/mechanics/choices in TF2 that it seems like you're the only one who likes them?
In terms of maps, sometimes it feels like Hydro gets too much hate. The TC gamemode is a novel idea and makes TF2 really feel more like a plotting war and less like a fragfest. I've played that map so many times I could draw a map from memory of the whole thing. It holds a lot of nostalgia as well, as it was one of the first maps I ever played in the game. Shame barely any good servers host it 24/7 anymore...
As for weapons, there's a lot of stuff that gets hate for the sole reason people don't know how to use it right. The Family Business and KGB, for example. I've defended control points by myself without touching my minigun in the past. Just kill an unlucky Scout, and dust away his friends with the free crits. After all, switching right away gives you enough time to fire all eight shots crit. That's a lot of damage.

- Hydro
- Baldness
- Serious 2Fort
Territory Control is a great gamemode which was poorly executed with confusing level design. Wish it had more maps.
Junction
Area 451
Getting taunted after getting killed,
I love it when people actually take thier time to "humiliate" me with more than just a simple death.
Im also the kind of guy who taunts at everything and everyone fyi.
The fast learner.
Dapper Topper and pink paint, obviously
Scout's Weiner. The hat, I mean. It's so delightfully goofy!
Also tangentially related to the mood of this thread, 2fort is a map I love to hate. I play it all the time, and have lots of fun on occasion, but more often than not I am left thinking "Yep, that is exactly why I hate 2fort".

Wait, people hate the Fast Learner?
Its like the most used scout misc ingame!

that's why people hate it
The Shortstop
I actually rarely hear anyone talk about it, but when they do, they bash it
Soda Popper, it's just fun when you want to piss some people off.
Familiy Buisness + KGB.
Especially fun on Snoipah decks, just wack one of the silly bastards, get crits, critpunch all of em, and then go to town on the rest with a critted FB.
You only have to use the Minigun when shit hits the fan, or against a sentry or a Heavy/Medic combo.

Heh, that makes sense.
Claidheamh Mòr.
Superfan.
TF Logo unusuals.
Kicking things off with:
The phlog
Being almost unkillable with the dead ringer
Flipped Trilby and Grenadier's Softcap. Both great hats that no one seems to like very much.
Also Fetti, Flies, and Bubbles effects.
Another thing to add I guess: Glengarry Bonnet. Why all the hate? It's one of the increasingly fewer Demoman hats that makes SENSE for god's sake.
Hatless Scout and Hatless Sniper.
[QUOTE=Rainbowmaker;37600251]Hatless Scout and Hatless Sniper.[/QUOTE]
Dont forget the handsome Texas slim's dome shine!
The Force of Nature.
It has surprising depth to it, especially when it can help you divebomb
[QUOTE=Everything;37600246]Another thing to add I guess: Glengarry Bonnet. Why all the hate?

On the Demo himself his black bomb jacket goes over his team-colored clothes. The layering of the hat is the exact opposite. It should be team-colored with a black band and toorie.
This sounds really dumb but it drives me crazy.

I might have to make a mod later that inverts the colors... Could wind up looking a whole lot like the Wiki Cap though.
Turbine. I love how it's designed, but the moment more than one scout or engy exist on one team shit gets messy.
I like the Diamondback. Its aesthetics are wonderful, and the crit sound is marvelous. Plus, it's useful if you're sapping buildings regularly, or as an offhand if you regularly use the Knife.
The Backwards Ballcap. Honestly, I don't see why there's so much hate for it. It's a quality hat and it fits the Scout's personality.
Gentlemen's Gatsby: I don't care if it looks like a piece of liver, its a Medic hat I like.
I love peaked caps, therefore I love the Team Captain. Seems a lot of people on FP seem to hate it.
The hats that get added and the pets.
All the fall crate cosmetics are nice. Including medi-mask and pocket purrer.
Pocket purrer is actually my favorite. Cats are awesome.
24/7 fast respawn dustbowl.
It's mindless fun.
