>http://fakkelbrigade.eu/category/team-fortress-2-beta>Some of you might have noticed players in your friendslist, playing a game called “Team Fortress 2 Beta”. A small group of top-teams from europe and the USA have been asked to join this new project.> euro teams: Afterlife, Crack Clan, Dignitas, FakkelBrigade, I Don’t Know, Imperial, Rockit, Vale!, Team CoolerMaster>The project headed up by our great friend Robin Walker. The aim of this project is to get the competetive community to help fine-tune TF2 for competetive 6v6 play. We’re still at an early stage, nothing new has been introduced on the beta-client yet but the forums are up and discussions are already ongoing.>The first stage of the beta, as explained to us by Robin Walker. Will be to re-shape the sandman for future use in competetive TF2. This means we’ll be playing part of our normal match routine on the beta-client, behaving as we normally would. We all hope we can make TF2 an even better experience with this brilliant project!>I’d like to thank Robin Walker and Valve again for spending so much time and effort on us <3If you don't think this is the most awesome thing Valve has done since TF2's release, I humbly request you uninstall the game.
So it's tourneyfag TF2?

Fuck, uninstalling.I hope you know I'm just gonna reinstall later!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
I don't understand.
Why would I think that's awesome? Sounds insignificant and boring.
As long as Valve keeps the Xbox version as vanilla as possible, I have no problems with this
God. Damnit.
>>35033635Maybe because Valve has decided openly that they're not going to cater exclusively to pub play like they did with the last 3 class updates?
I wish TF2 wasn't the Smash Bros of FPS games
>>35033708TF2 never catered to anything specifically. The fact that tourneyfags though TF2 wasn't balanced enough is probably the reason why this is happening.Why did Valve listen?
>competitive play
>>35033769Why shouldn't Valve listen?
If this leads to a demoman nerf and a spy buff, I'll be happy.
I don't play TF2, but I think this is completely fucking stupid.
>>35033823Competitive play TF2 is boring. Same damn outplay of 2SCOUT2SOLDIERDEMOMEDIC on the same 5 maps. It's about as boring as watching a 3S tourney.
>>35033834Demoman's had enough nerfs and Spy's had enough buffs. Spy's as situational and flimsy as he's supposed to be and Demoman's as versatile and risky as he's supposed to be.If anything they could make his sticky launcher reload more slowly so they can take his 6v6 class limit back to 2 per team.
Isn't playing TF2 against another team already competitive play?
I'd at least like the new maps bro
>>35033986>Demoman>Risky
>>35034140that was for>>35033644
So they're gonna rework a bunch of game mechanics for some tourneyfags?Do not want
>>35033934That may be, but competitive players actually push the game to its limits, finding what works and what doesn't. By balancing the game for competitive play they also make the game more balanced for casual play. There's no harm in this action.
>>35033489> euro teams: Afterlife, Crack Clan, Dignitas, FakkelBrigade, I Don’t Know, Imperial, Rockit, Vale!, Team CoolerMasterWow TF2 is way too shitty and unbalanced to be competitive
anyone who doesnt like this is one of the thousands of idiot manchildren who still laugh at "cake is a lie" jokes and think that any of the unlocks in the past 3 updates were any good whatsoeverbring on the GOOD changes and force this cancerous idiots out
>>35033934Heh, opinions. I guess you prefer the LOL SO RANDOM of pub play.Variety isn't everything in a skill-based genre, bro.>>35034083Yes. But 99% of the time it's also playing incompetently. The main challenge of TF2 is not skill-based, it's synergistic, and I can't tell you how many times I've seen pubs in which NO ONE SAYS A WORD.
Wouldn't it stand to reason that the ultimate balanced tourneyfaggotry TF2 would be 9 players a team with 1 of each class?
>competitive play>tf2play a real shooter scrub
>>35034216The game's already balanced. It's a counter based video game.The only thing this will make is make tournyfags stop whining about the Sandman being broken.
>6v6why
Well, I don't play competitively but I'm really curious what changes they're working on - especially new abilities or altered functioning that will come out of it for weapons like Natascha, the backburner, sandvich, razorback, bonk, for which there's been a ton of community suggestions.Whether it'll be a good thing is yet to be seen though.
ITT tourneyfaggotry.
