Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

Supposedly it's not really broken, but Valve disabled it for the time being due to the fact that people could bypass their Escrow / confirmation bullshit with it. Basically if someone had their account taken, then the hijacker could gift away the person's items to some alt, and there would be

Looks like nobody may be working on HL franchise any more (with Marc Laidlaw leaving). Just hope the multiplayer stuff stays working for a few more years. On Sat, Jan 9, 2016 at 2:11 PM, Rowedahelicon < theoneando...@rowedahelicon.com> wrote: > When this works he says~ > > Still, it would have

My question is when is it time to declare Valve one of "Those" companies? With Marc leaving after all this time it basically says they Half Life is either written or just never going to progress anymore. Valve doesn't have the drive or energy to make games anymore, they only profit from the few

Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

Thanks man, that makes sense, i have seen they removed it from the store too. Communication with the customers leaves a lot to be desired by Valve though. I wanted to surprise my staff of my community with items (worth ~2 keys each) last year, special name/description tagged and in the end

Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

While I think this is going very offtopic, I think Source 2 would be proof enough that valve hadn't given up on the game making business. But I also suspect they're not going to announce a new game until there is 9-6 months before release or even closer. On Sat, Jan 9, 2016 at 11:33 PM,

Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

I guess we all can agree on that Valve doesn't need the games to stay afloat, even the ones they still support. I hate how community servers get treaded in TF2, but I still admire that someone at Valve (Eric or whoever is in charge) still raises the hand to do something with it after all the

Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

I guess Source 2 is a good point, see where it goes and what-not. As for TF2, I feel TF2 is still somewhat profitable but it can be a lot more profitable if they treated it better than it is. I'm sure competitive mode will give a little bit of life back into it but I have a list of concerns that I

Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

It used to be very large, but after they kept messing with the game's optimization / balance it kept pushing players away. The fact that Valve's quickplay servers are so awful (No moderation, communication, hacker play-ground and a low skill ceiling) has stopped a lot of new players from coming

Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

It's worth noting that some players with decent rigs have discovered that they get a better framerate with default settings as opposed to using a framerate config. http://www.teamfortress.tv/30651/boost-fps-with-this-one-simple-trick On 1/9/2016 6:53 PM, Rowedahelicon wrote: It used to be

Re: [hlds] Mandatory Team Fortress 2 update released

Isn't the TF2 competive scene relativly small? Are there really a lot of people prefer playing and training competivie for TF2 as opposed to other games like CS:Go for example? Propably a lot of competitive players will wait and jump onto Overwatch as opposed back into TF2. I still think the
