[QUOTE=Contra132;53049008]Is there any situation where the Heavy can be killed or countered that you're okay with from a balance perspective? You seem to take issue with everything can effectively combat the Heavy class.
I obviously don't think Heavy is doing great from a balance perspective, and I sympathize with the plight of the Heavy class, but come on.[/QUOTE]
Power creep with unlocks to gain advantages in class matchups is a slippery slope; if one class receives an unlock to combat another class, then when will the countered class receive its own set of items to compensate and turn the tables? You can't add items that impinge on interclass dynamics without having a counterbalance. Soldier already goes even with Heavy depending on the terrain and circumstances, so why does he need a tool to set the matchup in his favor? He doesn't. Heavy himself has only three weapons that can be theoretically lumped into this category, and none of them are particularly effective as counters. The Fists of Steel can protect against Snipers, but it does not counter them; the Natascha can help against Scouts, but Scout has plenty of unlocks to turn the tables; the Huo-Long Heater can reveal Spies, but not protect against them, nor does it help to kill them any more than other miniguns.
Heavy has plenty of in-built weaknesses and disadvantageous class matchups, so he doesn't need additional counters in the form of unlocks. Hyperbolic straw man arguments against me don't do anyone in this thread any favors.

I'm a Spy main and I found this disgusting.
...so, did any here try this?
This isn't new, Interp Spies have been a thing for several years now, and many players have learned to "master" it.

Does anyone have the cactus canyon map file from back when it had another stage? I don't think I ever played that cut stage.

I played it a few times.
I think it was cut because the last point that stage was a sharp uphill battle.

Didn't they flip the entire map around at some point, making the first point a downhill battle for attackers instead?
Mappers who've gotten multiple maps in game, what's you most and least favorite maps you got in?
Well it's taken me a while to pull it off, but I finally did something that I had in the back of my mind to do for years.
I now own 35 Balloonicorns, one of each paint color, including the Halloween paint spells. They are each nametagged after breakfast cereal mascots. For example, Mann Co. Orange is Tony the Tiger, Indubitably Green is Lucky the Leprechaun, and the Halloween spelled ones are named Count Chocula, Boo Berry and so forth after Halloween cereals.

I dedicated an entire page of my backpack to my full Balloonicorn collection, which includes the painted ones, a genuine, a strange, and an uncraftable.
What are the two stray balloonicorns between the genuine/strange and team-painted ones? Are they just extra ones?
Also, it looks like you're missing the Magic Trick Pyro taunt that uses a mini balloonicorn, as well as a Reindoonicorn

The two strays are craft #24 and #31. I have the Party Trick and Reindoonicorn, I'll go put them on that backpack page right now. Thanks for the reminder.
I actually have a few more genuines and about 50 more regular, non-painted balloonicorns chilling on another backpack page but I didn't want it to look too cluttered.

I don't think I'll be able to finish them before the end of the year. Last year of university and, to be honest, playing 2 hours daily to farm for victories is tiresome after a while. But you gonna see me wear that Platinum Badge! I'm going to make you proud!

When do you guys expect a source 2 port for tf2? I'm thinking it'll come in 2-3 years.
[QUOTE=Fraklin;53051012]When do you guys expect a source 2 port for tf2? I'm thinking it'll come in 2-3 years.[/QUOTE]
Probably will be like CSGO, where we don't get a full port, just certain features like better multicore utilization, panorama ui, or better tools like Hammer.

I guarantee you that's all we're getting, if anything. Can you even imagine the work it would take to port the entirety of the game as it is to the new engine?
[QUOTE=Fraklin;53051012]When do you guys expect a source 2 port for tf2? I'm thinking it'll come in 2-3 years.[/QUOTE]
I'm not expecting a Source 2 port for TF2 period, to be honest, and I don't blame them as the game is both old and filled to the brim with years upon years worth of additional post-game content.
Would be nice if the Dragon's Fury fireball left a scorch mark when hitting the world like explosions.
[QUOTE=TheBorealis;53051017]Probably will be like CSGO, where we don't get a full port, just certain features like better multicore utilization, panorama ui, or better tools like Hammer.[/QUOTE]
That stuff would be awesome. Tf2 could use one big optimization update. Right now a modern PC struggles to go over 144 fps.

Did Valve ever confirm that CSGO wasn't getting a full Source 2 port? The only thing I remember seeing directly from them was the Valve News Network interview with one of the CSGO guys who said Source 2 is the future of CSGO (and he also said Source 2 is probably coming to every other game that isn't already Source 2, which of course implies TF2). However of course the way he worded it was somewhat vague.

Pretty sure they said that csgo wasn't getting a full post on either the globaloffensive subreddit or the Gabe Newell ama on reddit last year, skimmed the ama but couldn't find it.
