The Shoebox - A "semi-competitive" pub server for all your friendly competitive gaming needs. ---------------------------------   Welcome to the Team Fortress 2 thread! TF2 is a team-oriented, class-based FPS with a strong focus on working together to complete simple territorial objectives. Players pick one of nine classes and work with their team to secure capture points, push giant bomb carts or steal intelligence briefcases from the enemy team. It’s totally free to play forever, no-strings-attached, with every gameplay changing item being easily acquired without you needing to spend a penny. There is no stat-levelling in TF2 so you can switch freely between the nine classes mid-game, depending on what your team needs and what you enjoy. The Classes • Scout +++ Pros: Has the fastest running speed, can double-jump, captures points twice as fast as other classes, deals very high burst damage at close range and can pick and choose his fights better than any other class. --- Cons: Tied lowest health class and lacks area denial weaponry. • Soldier +++ Pros: Fires powerful rockets that do lots of damage at close to mid range, has the second-highest max health of all the classes, able to perform rocket jumps to reach high or distant places on-demand. --- Cons: Has the second-slowest move speed of all the classes and has a relatively small ammo pool. • Pyro +++ Pros: Has a fair amount of health, does not need to reload his/her primary weapon, can deal lots of damage at close range to multiple enemies, is able to extinguish burning teammates, reflect enemy projectiles and control enemy movement with airblasts. --- Cons: Limited damage outside of close range. • Demoman +++ Pros: Has a fair amount of health, can deal absurd amounts of damage with pipe bombs or stickybombs, able to bounce explosives off or over walls and around corners, can plant remote explosive traps that stick to walls and doorframes, able to perform stickybomb jumps to reach high or distant places on-demand. --- Cons: Limited close-range offensive capability, stickybomb jumps cause a lot of self damage. • Heavy +++ Pros: Has the most health of any class, deals lots of damage at close and mid range, does not need to reload his primary weapon. --- Cons: Slow, limited mobility. • Engineer +++ Pros: Able to build teleporters to move his team to a fight quickly, dispensers to keep them healed and supplied at the front line and sentry guns to keep the enemy out of certain areas. --- Cons: Needs to maintain buildings or they’ll be destroyed. • Medic +++ Pros: Heals other teammates, has regenerating health, is the second-fastest of all classes, can deploy “Übercharges” which make their patients and themselves invincible, deal 100% crit damage or heal at a super-fast rate for several seconds. --- Cons: Limited offensive weaponry. • Sniper +++ Pros: Can one-hit kill from a distance with a headshot, is able to pick off key players from the enemy line relatively unnoticed. --- Cons: Limited close range damage options, slow damage output if not consistently hitting headshots. • Spy +++ Pros: Has a number of gadgets that let him disguise as enemy players, turn invisible for a short time and disable engineer buildings, deals powerful bullet damage with his revolver, can one-hit kill up close with a successful backstab. --- Cons: Limited offensive capability once discovered behind enemy lines. If you’re new to the game and you want to learn the ropes, the Soldier is a very forgiving class to learn and try the game out with, and you'll get a good feel for how the flow of combat works. It’s good to play all the classes and learn how they all work so you’re better able to fight against them as whichever class you’d like to play.  The Items Every class starts with a base loadout filled with stock weapons, which are usually the most versatile loadouts in the game. New weapons will drop for you at random intervals and are balanced to be sidegrades that open up alternative playstyles, making them situational upgrades/downgrades. Check out the TF2 Wiki to find out more about each of the weapons in the game. Each weapon's page has an instructional video showing you how it is used. Items can come in different qualities which change certain things but none of them actively give you an advantage over anyone else. These qualities are: • Unique (Yellow) - The standard quality for non-stock items. • Strange (Orange) - Items with a counter on them, usually counting kills or points gained while equipped. Found in crates. • Genuine (Dark Green) - Same as Unique but with a different colour name. Usually given as promotional items when buying other games on Steam. • Vintage (Blue) - Same as Unique but with a different colour name. Items that existed from before the Mann-conomy Update in 2010 were changed to Vintage quality. • Unusual (Purple) - Unusual cosmetics have a randomly assigned particle effect that makes them stand out more. Found in crates as a very rare drop and very valuable. An unusual hat sold for around $4,000 once! • Haunted (Cyan) - Same as Unique but with a different colour name. Only Halloween items can be found in Haunted quality. • Collector's (Red) - Same as Unique but with a different colour name. Made with a special Chemistry Set item and 200 Unique versions of an item. • Self-Made/Community (Light Green) - Similar to Unusual but with a Community Sparkle particle effect only. Weapons and cosmetics can have this quality. Given to item developers and valuable community contributors by Valve. • Valve (Magenta) - Okay these are usually straight upgrades because Valve employees cheat at this video game You can also get Killstreak Kits that can be applied to any of your weapons from MvM missions and certain crates. These come in three flavours: • Standard - Displays total killstreak on your HUD, weapon killstreak in the killfeed and announces 5 kill milestones to everyone in the server. • Specialized - Same as Standard but adds a coloured sheen to your weapon. • Professional - Same as Specialized but adds a particle effect to your eyes. Effect gets more intense after 10 kills.  The Servers While official Valve servers will never have forced MOTD ads or dumb donator privileges, they run limited, official map only mapcycles and are often filled with people of massively varied skill levels from all over the world. If you ever get tired of trying to drag the six laggy newbie spies on your team to victory against the pubstomping demoman-medic combo on the other team, consider checking out these goon-recommended community servers! If you have any recommendations to add to the list, post in the thread and they'll get added below. quote: North American servers: quote: Lost Continents - Rutas - 74.91.113.203:27015 - The oldest remaining goon server. Nocrits, mostly stock 5cp maps, ability to kick-a-pubby if the server is full and you want in. Check out the thread for more information. Teufort Teuquick | Blueberry Bonanza - 66.150.214.102:27015 - A goon-run 32 slot server that hosts everything from regular gamemodes to prophunt, deathrun, pyro dodgeball and more! The Shoebox - 64.31.15.98:27035 - The Shoebox has been described by visitors as “semi-competitive.” Many of our regulars have some low-level competitive experience, there’s occasionally a few plat players here and there, and our map cycle has a good deal of competitive mainstays and comp-friendly crowdpleasers. But we try to keep things friendly, alltalk is always on, and we’re all in it to have fun. FITH - 216.52.148.223:27015 - Nocrits, votation. Map list is stock plus UGC plus a modest selection of other custom maps (including Pro maps). Generally start. ~8pm EST. Runs in-house HL pugs. (-TN-) - 68.68.32.218:27015 - Crits, rotation, all custom including a few Pro versions of stock maps. Always up, but donators ($5/mo) kick non-donators if the server is full, which makes it difficult to get/stay on as free especially at peak times. Most of the donators are a pretty tough crowd so I think of it as paying for practice. They also have a set of 24/7 ($MAP) servers and some others that tend to be less full. Cafe of Broken Dreams - cafeofbrokendreams.com:27015 - Similar settings to the above, but based in Texas and with pregame mayhem (friendly fire on) enabled while waiting for players. Replays on. Not too active now, but used to have a lot of good players who still come around from time to time. I think they used to field a Highlander team. The Crit Sandvich Chicago Slaybox - 69.175.33.150:27015 - is pretty good too, it's my go-to when the above aren't populated (which is most of the time) Taunt Gamers - generally pretty laid back with a good range of experience. No ads, you can donate $2/mo for stuff like end of round and autobalance immunity. Some quake soundpack is enabled by default but you can thankfully turn it off: 50.31.21.203:27015 - Badwater/Goldrush 50.31.21.203:27014 - 2fort 50.31.21.203:27016 - Dustbowl 50.31.21.203:27013 - Pipeline 50.31.21.203:27012 - 'Fuckaround maps' STARZ - 70.42.74.33:27015 - no crit/spread, normal + actually fun custom maps, plus you can both nominate & rtv. East coast but v stable ping for west coast scrubs, good players, pretty much full all hours of the day. GameME's Arena Server - 72.5.195.40:27015 - pretty much the only consistently populated Arena server I've found without any bullshit. Full teams, only the odd man out sits out, scrambles after 3. Sometimes has shitheads on it who get mad when you cap, but generally fun. Nemu's Proving Ground Payload Maps - 67.213.222.178:27015 - all official Payload maps. Almost always full at any hour of the day, no ads and the very fun Grooveshark/Magicsong server mod. Doesn't have any team scramble options, which makes it highly prone to stacks at times, but otherwise a great server I regular a lot. Should note that there's a single bot, Brutus, who is something of a server mascot, but he sits out when the server's full, I think. The Furry Pound #4 - 192.99.5.53:27015 - Vanilla settings across the board, default respawn time, crits, no alltalk etc. Literally always full, literally. Pretty good player base skill-wise. Recommended to have sprays turned off! Gibbed Gaming, A/D Push Maps - ad.gibbedgaming.com:27015 - No advertisements, the only gameplay donator perk is auto-balance immunity, and the players and community are pretty good too I think. Fills up most evenings and sometimes during the day too. Mostly Attack/Defend and Payload maps, including the bad ones like Dustbowl and Hoodoo, but there's plenty of Badwater, Upward, and Gullywash. The voting system is a little weird but you can disable it easily if it gets too annoying. Duck Soup Gaming - 66.150.164.129:27015 - Runs nocrits and forces random team selection. -FAP- Clan Server - 70.42.74.28:27015 - A lot of overlap between this crowd and the CritSandvich gang. East coast vanilla-style server, 24 players. Lion's Den 2 Electric Boogaloo - games.dongues.net:27015 - West-coast, vanilla-style server, 24 players. Not goon run, but frequented by quite a few goons. The Randomizer Arena - 216.245.203.66:27015 - A randomizer server where you get a random loadout every life. Central US. Necrophix - 192.225.170.150:27015 - East coast 24 player server with a competitive community and 200+ custom maps; though we stick to stock maps when the server population is low. UK/European servers: quote: Hampshire Heavies - Pretty decent UK-based servers and they have some very good players if you fancy a challenge. #1 Vanilla|NoCrits + Classic2008 Vote - 178.32.51.115:27015 #2 Vanilla - 178.32.51.115:27025 #3 Vanilla|Crits Vote - 178.32.51.115:27035 #4 ~ Freak Fortress 2+ (New Exclusive Bosses) - 178.32.51.115:27045 German Headquarter - One of the only good server chains left in Europe that have replay enabled. #1 - Valve Maps - 193.192.59.128:27815 #2 - Payload Only - 193.192.59.128:27915 #3 - Dustbowl Only - 193.192.59.128:28015 #4 - CP Maps Only - 193.192.59.128:28115 #5 - Gold/Barn/Bad/Dust - 193.192.59.128:37015 #6 - KOTH + SD Maps Only - 193.192.59.128:28215 #7 - Randomizer + RTD - 193.192.59.114:26115 Skial Badwater - 94.23.226.200:2010 - Nearly full 24/7, with a more skilled player base than the average server. Don Pascualino's - fps10.mtxserv.fr:27030 - If you're French/European and looking for a nice server with no random crits, no ads, and sometimes really good players, give it a try. UKCS servers - the Vanilla servers are the best (Vanilla meaning standard respawn and map rotations), also last spot on the server is always reserved for donators; UKCS:TF2#1 - Mega Game Server - 78.129.244.230:27015 (Note: Instant Respawn) UKCS:TF2#2 - Mega Game Server - 78.129.244.230:27030 (Note: Instant Respawn) UKCS:TF2#3 - Dustbowl Extreme! #1 - 78.129.244.231:27015 UKCS:TF2#4 - Vanilla Server! - 78.129.244.232:27015 UKCS:TF2#5 - Dustbowl Extreme! #2 - 83.142.230.55:27015 UKCS:TF2#6 - 2Fort Extreme! - 83.142.230.55:27030 UKCS:TF2#7 - Vanilla Server #2! - 78.129.244.236:27015 UKCS:TF2#8 - Payload Extreme! - 78.129.244.236:27030 The Fellowship Randomizer - 84.200.37.93:27015 - A randomizer server where you get a random loadout every life. Asia & Oceania servers: quote: Orange Server 00 - 157.7.138.97:27016 - Stock server, no spread, random crits, 24 player limit. The players are really nice and pretty good. No class limits, but you'll rarely see more than one heavy or spy or two engies/snipers. Fills up most evenings and weekends. PuniPuni na Are Server 1 - 202.213.210.22:27015 - Mix of stock and custom maps with votemap. 28 player limit, so it's more about fun-having but not as chaotic as a 32-player server. Almost always occupied. PuniPuni na Are Server 2 - 202.213.210.22:27016 - Same as the above, but no custom maps. Payload Inc. #1 - 125.63.48.140:27015 - Same as previous. Orcon Games | TF2 #2 | Payload - 219.88.241.90:27200 - Decent New Zealand payload server.  Competitive Play While most people play on public servers, there's a small, active competitive TF2 community. This is mostly broken down into: • 6v6 - 2 scouts, 2 soldiers, 1 demoman and 1 medic, with scouts and soldiers switching to other classes when needed • Highlander - 9v9, class limit of 1 • 4v4 - A recent addition, class limit of 1 with heavy & medic disallowed at the same time If you want to get involved, here are some recommended sites to check out. TF2Center - A lobby site where you can play one-off competitive games without a pre-organised team. Easiest way to get a taste of how competitive TF2 works. TeamFortressTV - The international competitive community forums. Has lots of information about all competitive TF2 as well as news on upcoming events. UGC League - NA, SA, EU, AUS/NZ and Asia - Free to play league that hosts 6v6, Highlander and 4v4. One of the best leagues for starting out in competitive TF2. ETF2L - EU only - European free to play league that hosts 6v6 and Highlander. Also excellent for starting out in the lower divisions while also hosting the best of Europe in the top divisions. OzFortress - AUS/NZ only - Australian free to play league that hosts 6v6 and Highlander. Similar to ETF2L in skill divisions. ESEA - NA only - North American pay to play league that hosts 6v6. Have the only significant cash prizes in competitive TF2 but is only for highly skilled gamers. Items and Trading Goon trading thread - All posts about trading things should go here. TF2Outpost - The biggest trading site at the moment. Be wary for people trying to scam you by offering super low prices on your items as this is prevalent here. Bazaar.tf - Similar to TF2Outpost but with a smaller user base. TF2TP - An item trading site run by Luigi Thirty. Not as popular in the trading scene as the above two sites any more and lacking in a few features but may be updated in the future. Dispenser.tf - A trading site that uses bots so that trades can take place even while one user is offline. Scrap.tf - 1:1 trading with bots. If you're missing a weapon or hat and have a spare, this site makes it really easy to fill the holes in your collection. Now includes 1:1 MvM robot part trading and trading strange items. Scrapbank.me - Same concept as Scrap.tf but not as popular. Definitely worth a look if Scrap.tf's wait times are high. Backpack.tf - Lets you find out the value of TF2 items. Take all prices (especially for unusuals) with a grain of salt as they are community submitted and approved. Missing.tf - A site that lets you find out which TF2 items you do not own, made by Otacon. TF2Tags - A useful item nametag preview and voting site by Dr. Dos. SourceOP - A forum for high end TF2 trading and real money purchases. SteamRep - A trade scammer database. If you plan to trade in unusuals and/or real money, PLEASE ASK FOR ADVICE HERE OR IN THE TRADING THREAD, people will try to scam you out of your hats/$$$. Custom HUDs While the default HUD is more than serviceable, lots of custom HUDs are available if you would prefer to use them. huds.tf - A collection of current, up-to-date HUDs. TFTV Master List - A forum thread with links to a wide variety of HUDs, not guaranteed to be up-to-date. Also includes HUD editing help. FrankenHUD yA_HUD KBNHUD broeselhud Improved Default HUD TF2Hud+ Demo Recorders The in-game demo feature allows you to save a replay of your POV from a match. This is first person only and it lasts until a stop console command is sent, instead of being only one life. P-Rec - Automatic demo recorder. How to set up P-Rec as an alternative to replays in any server.

Not gonna bother with reinstalling TF2 again because Team Fortress 3 will be better and more slimmed down without all that bloated cosmetic stuff. Will probably be out in a few years with HL3.

Endorph posted:thats worse than what hitler did I'm not too proud to admit it bothers me way more then it should. Back in the day before the new weapons, the original taunt-kill was the demoman doing his "Kaboom" taunt and detonating his stickies to kill the unaware player who thought he was helpless while taunting. Now he can't do that anymore.
