Unfortuantly my team was knocked out by Whitness Gaming in the quarter finals, though they didnt even cast my team at all in the end :(

Alright, so after about a week of posting fluffy content let's see if we have enough people to scrape together a proper discussion thread.

My favorite gamemode is 5CP - I dearly love Payload and KOTH as well, but I like 5CP the best because of the back-and-forth it generates; you will be able to participate in both attack and defense at the same time. KOTH also has this, but it's faster-paced and easier for one team to camp the point, in my opinion. I actually prefer longer matches as I think it allows for more interesting strategies and counterplay to come about as opposed to matches where it's a blitz, at least in pubs.

My favorite map from this mode is Process. It has adequate flanks, different environments for different classes to shine (outdoor, indoor, and hybrid spaces, as well as lots of changes in elevation), and is relatively "streamlined" despite all that. It fosters a decently competitive environment even in an unorganized public server.

(Runner up goes to Powerhouse (3CP technically, but it's my post so I can break the rules if I want) for mindless pub play, I've had some legendary matches on there.)

Also: Hey, remember when Valve tried to do the contract thing? I actually rather liked it, but I don't think it was implemented too well.

(apologies for hitsound)

Always love the skill in these. Thought i share the newest one.

I've been posting some stuff to this community to help seed content, and in doing so I got into the right mood to boot up TF2 again. Having over 3700 hours in the game, I can confidently say there's nothing else quite like it.

I'm rusty as hell, of course, but that doesn't even matter; this game has a unique atmosphere on most pubs and community servers where you don't need to be super good to enjoy yourself and messing around is encouraged, which is a rarity in a lot of modern titles. The problems that weigh the game down still make me sad, as they always have (lack of dev support, rampant cheaters on public lobbies, quite a few weapons being relegated to the trash bin because they're simply bad, default graphics settings being pretty horrible and needing a config to tighten them up), but the community is still here and I find that endearing.
