Stuff that you Love in TF2: Facepunch is still GODLIKE edition
2,322 replies, posted
The other day, we found a cheater in our team during a (Valve) competitive game on Gorge. However, I managed to convince my allies to throw a game. Our adversaries used this at their advantage and capture the points and sometimes eliminate the script kiddy. At some point, they even managed to spawn kill him with double snipers before winning the match. He didn't ragequit but called us "pathetic". That was an heartwarming moment of cooperation between players.
Two aimbots on the other team, two vaccinator medics on our team. Guess who won?

'Course the vacc medics. Vacc works incredibly well again hackers. The name of the weapon really checks out.
The best part about it was that they were rage hackers, they played legit the first one and a half rounds.
I see that phenomenon fairly often. Hackers start out "legit" until they die too often/their team starts to lose/they get called out in chat repeatedly, and then switch it up to full on spinbotting/chat spamming/insta-headshotting.
Captain Obvious says: The behavior of the people who cheat in TF2 is fantastically infantile. They want to be able to stomp the crap out of the entire enemy team, and become childishly irate if their cheats (or their own stupidity) fails them for a moment and they get killed.
I'm not a very good sniper. It is by far my worst class. I was once on a 2Fort game with a certain infamous attention whoring rager hacker who always puts his youtube URL in his name. He had been sniping, but switch to heavy with a medic up his ass. I took him out with a full charge Machina headshot because his positioning was terrible. I taunted of course, and his medic tried to run up to me with his uber. The Schadenfruede ended just in tile for me to hit the medic with a crit pan. At that point said hacker turned on his chat spam. My team lost shortly thereafter, but that one kill I got made the rest of the debacle trivial in comparison.
They want people to think they're actually good. There's definitely a need for validation in there. When people call the out as cheaters they shit the bed and start ragehacking.
I think it's just that people think it's cool to make others angry or upset.
No one doing the spinbot thing expects anyone to be fooled into thinking they're good.
is it fun tho? if its fun for you i understand it, but it seems boring as fuck, and a great way to give yourself motion sickness
Surely the spinning guys don't actually have their camera spinning around in first person as well? They seem to be able to walk around without any trouble.
Spinbot is an external effect only. It moves the player's model and hitbox in a variety of odd ways (pitch, yaw, "view lock" which means looking straight up) but their own aim and camera are normal for them.
I fucking love the ambassador.
it raises the spy's skill ceiling and maximum damage to absurd levels. I even own a strange one.
Valve Stockholm servers are just... good.
I almost never see hackers in them, if I'm unlucky maybe once a day. Me and my friend can easily have a full day of playing Casual on Stockholm servers and not see a single one, and even if we do see one, it gets usually kicked before the round starts.
Also friendlies are almost non existing. That might be partly because many, many of the players are new and have no idea about them, but they just get killed. If there is a guy yelling "IM FRIENDLY DONT KILL PLS" they just get ignored and people keep killing them and they quickly get bored and start playing normally.
Of course, I myself can let some random sniper live if they start wildly nodding melee in hand. (But when they turn around I might shoot them.)
The worst thing I can think of are the tryhards. Especially the "Moms Eboms"-group, or whatever it's called, or just tryhards in general. I can respect some soldier completely stomping us if they manage to do it by themselves, but if they have a medic up their ass they can just fuck off. They go right into the same cast as script kiddies for me, because their intents are pretty much the same, making the enemy team mad. But it is pretty amusing seeing them get absolutely shredded when their medic isn't there for 30 seconds.

This is one of my favorite things about casual.
This applies to MvM as well, at least for me. The ping sucks for me but I generally get pretty good lobbies when I'm matched into Stockholm for some reason.
Sydney and Hong Kong MvM servers can fuck off, on the other hand.
I love it when I kill a player who's taunting right after killing another player.
That'll teach you to gloat you silly goose!
Back when QuickPlay was a thing and it was possible to connect to Valve servers via the server browser, I played on a lot of European servers at night. I preferred Luxembourg, but I'd definitely end up in Stockholm sometimes. In spite of a rather absurd ping, I'd have a blast playing against generally well meaning and at least basically competent players. There were far fewer hackers, griefers and trolls than on American servers.
Weirdly, the opposite is true for Skial. The West Coast Skial servers are the least toxic, the East Coast ones are ...okay, and the EU ones are regularly toxic cesspits. I don't usually get called the N word and a bundle of sticks in TF2, but 5 minutes on Skial EU 2Fort+ and I've been labeled as both for playing Heavy.

It's been a long time since my last hat drop

I live in Stockholm, so I get great ping. I remember this guy with a superbored voice in spawn asking me if I was literally a server to get that kind of ping. :v:

Fun fact, German servers are the best place to connect to for Russian people.
This applies to literally everything, not just TF2
Even if there is a dedicated server in Moscow it is still more favorable to connect to Germany.
It's always nice to have a friendly rivalry with another Spy - we traded compliments during a match and it was fun.
I love how TF2 takes up a majority of the Valve games section of facepunch.
TF2 players are as passionate as they are long suffering.
My favorite part of this update has got to be how many regulars of old community servers I keep getting matched with. The update brought so many people back, and it's amazing how despite the years and the current Pyro craze a lot of them still stick to their signature playstyles. It's all very nostalgic.

Somehow, Valve still remembers TF2's original theme. I wonder how far it'll go.
I love giving gifts to random people.
earlier, I gave a free key to a guy who correctly guessed what my MVM scout loadout was a reference to. (it was a reference to [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2kovI6tpRE"]this[/URL])
I love the fact that the playerbase for TF2 is still so high up years later, i don't have to worry about it dying anytime soon. Also sometimes helping F2P'rs with questions they might have in the chat.
How cheap shit is nowadays compared to when I was a kid; picking the game up I can get pretty much anything I want on just a student's budget. When i started I'd have to beg my parents for money, pinch pennies trading and constantly shuffle around what cosmetics I used so I could actually have a nice loadout for whatever class I wanted to play.
