Re: [hlds] TF2: Meet Your Match update and QuickPlay?

I would imagine a big reason why things were so great last night was people just wanted to play TF2 and the only servers they could connect to were community servers. Not trying to rain on the parade, bu I think Robert is right. It'll be a few weeks before we have any clue how this will all play

Re: [hlds] Community Servers and the Gun Mettle Update

Some observations that I've made that I haven't heard addressed by anyone yet: - The game is 8 years old now. That's an extraordinarily long life for a game. What is the end-game for TF2? Has Valve considered this? For example, when they decide it's time to reallocate their hosted

Re: [hlds] hlds Digest, Vol 47, Issue 4

I think this thread drastically underestimates the new user. I would argue that most new users are new to this game but not new to FPS gaming. I would argue most understand that there are thousands of servers out there but just don't care to sift through a list when all they want to do is connect

Re: [hlds] TF2 and the Policy of Truth

I think the policy either needs to be enforced, or abandoned completely. In the current state the policy only affects those server operators that have the honor to follow it. This is not news to anyone, but it is a bit disconcerting to read a policy, understand its meaning, follow it, and then

I know this isn't the place for feature requests, but I have to ask a question that seems obvious in the light of the recent beta map release: Why isn't pl_swiftwater in the standard map distribution? It's been thoroughly tested and another good PL map would be well received in the community at

STAR_ has a video where he is demoing the Tide Turner where this apparently happened. He crashed (presumably on his server) on a full server and immediately reconnected to find the server had about 10 people. You might look at it to find clues. On Thu, Jun 26, 2014 at 4:46 AM, Emil Larsson

Re: [hlds] Can we have a Quickplay Status report, please?

I'd like to add to Jason's comments that the performance of the Valve provided servers is significantly degraded when compared to well-run community servers. Now it is difficult to find a server with good performance on anything but a handful of overplayed maps (2fort, dustbowl, turbine,

Re: [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update released

This exactly. In my experience, quickplay was useful for filling servers after you had 12-14 players on it, and retaining already full servers. Regulars are what makes your server successful, but quickplay can help bridge gaps of inactivity by your loyal player base. This option will only

Re: [hlds] An open letter to Valve about MOTDs
