I remember my first server was the Doomsday Halloween event. Seeing the mercinaries with large bobbing heads shoved into a bumper cart while playing football (or soccer) was the greatest first impression I will ever have to an FPS game.
What a spesific map to be your first

Starting at halloween was great

being bad is fun because you don't know whats goin on
Honestly I miss those f2p days where every game was super fun and I try out new weapons and techniques for them
When I have a computer that can actually handle even DOWNLOADING TF2 then I’ll experience this feeling you speak of. It sounds quite joyful.
Yeah I get what you mean I remember only time a bonk scout ran by me and my sentry gun and I was absolutely flabbergasted (and dead)
every stupid thing that happens is way funnier when you have no idea that it existed
You kinda just go, "WHAT THE HELL!????" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAA" "WHAT IS GOING ON" **Crying and laughing** "This game is CHAOS"
I remember my first time playing tf2 on thunder mountain, didn't know where I was, or how to play. All I knew is that I was a heavy with a big ass gun from a lazy purple video and that taught me more than enough to learn slowly. Nobody was toxic to me and thus I stuck around.
I remember when i played on steel for the first time , i was so lost , i knew i had to capture point C but i didn't know where it was
@@tab135 Ha same! I love steel but it can be a pain to navigate when you have never played it before.
this is eye opening, than kyou wise mystical tree
This is why I miss matches in current games just throwing a bunch of randoms on a map and letting the chaos unfold. It was always different and always something interesting.
1:53 I once met a fp2 on a mge server. I joined and gave him some tips to play the game, he told me to wait and said thank you when I was leaving, that brought tears to my eyes. Please cherish FTPs they are our community's hope. Hope he does well rn.
I think what TF2 has going for it is that it's team-based. Your team, no matter how bad, will always be able to give a learning player the space they need to learn. I don't think TF2 is all that hard to learn because of it, as opposed to SSBM's more elitist play-style. Great video, I'm glad there are others out there who cherish F2Ps as much as I do. You've earned yourself a sub!
Well I am against it since when you play and opposite team just rolls you and it happens in 5 games in row something is wrong. I honestly feel bad for any new players since playing this game you must sacrifice a lot to even play
The community is what makes the game fun for new players. The youtube tutorials, the SFMs, even the team videos are what got me into tf2. When i first installed tf2, i played the tutorial and a match with bots *not sniper bots*. It was fun seeing that whenever i pressed e , a medic would instantly come and heal me. Seeing all the bots taunt at when i i look towards them before that match started was really fun. I had a lot of fun playing with bots. I knew exactly what every class' role was because i had seen a lot of videos and tf2 meme compelations on youtube.Then the next day, i joined casual. I spammed e, nothing happened, i tried the voice commands, nothing happened, i tried the text chat, nothing happened, the only thing that happened was text saying *Voice communication is not available for this account*. I loved the voice lines that the characters said, but the fact that i wasn't able to use these voice lines made me angry. I quickly searched on youtube why i wasnt able to talk and then saw that its not just me. Every f2p in tf2 cannot talk. So, i joined ckmmunity servers. Mainly, UGC servers. The 2fort and the hightower without carts ones. It was amazing seeing the community communicate with each other and me being a part of it. I tried uncletopia servers but i cant join any one becauee they are all too far from where i live and i will be instantly kicked by the server because of the high ping (i live in india and the only casual servers i can join are in singapore as no one in india really e
even knows about tf2. Ive never met a person irl who knows about tf2). I decided to give casual a second chance and it worked. I realised that i have to keep playing and improving myself even without communication. Aand then i saw the actual casual server bots and was like wow! They have REALLY good aim! Untill i realised they were kicking him because of being a cheater. The bot problem is getting out of hand. One time, i finally decided to improve at being sniper. I played sniper, knowing im bad at it. And someone using voice communication told the entire team that i was a bot. He probably saw f2p in my name and the fact that i was a sniper and instantly voted to kick me. And i could do nothing, i couldnt even say that im not a bot. Its been almost 3 months since i have installed tf2 and im still playing as a f2p and i enjoy it. When im too fed up of not being able to talk, i join skial servers and have fun there. I even joined jumpacademy and learned how to rocket jump. Buut... i deleted my the original because of inventory space. Aand then i found an exploit which lets us have 2 or more items stacked into one item slot and still be useable. So now i have 67 items in an inventory space of 50. I found about this after i had already deleted my original, bison, the mercenary badge, AND THE HOLY MACKEREL. I want to have the bison just for the reasin that theres a pretty cool mod that changes how it looks and the original for rocket jumping and the mackerel for [H A H A . F U N I . P H I S H]. I love tf2 and will keep playing it f2p or not. Everyone thinks im a noob because im a free to play but no, not all people who dont wear hats are noobs. Dont judge a player by its hats.
I just realised how long of a comment i actually wrote, lol nobody is gonna read all of that.
@@kunalchugh1977I read it, amazing comment
it really saddens me that f2ps can't even use the voice commands, what a terrible change
@@kunalchugh1977 Could use some formating.
There's nothing wrong with long messages, but walls of text aren't too pleasant to read
I started this game back in June of 2011, and all I can recall for my first time was playing Goldrush for my first map, using parent email for my name, and going to orange maps with the one tower is the middle, for early Community quicksearch stuff, and that's basically it.
I've been playing tf2 for about a decade now. Yesterday I stood up for a kid getting picked on by some older players in a casual 5cp match, and the match had made night as he was screeching in the mic with joy as we won both times haha. If you love the game, don't pick on new players, they are the future of this game.
That's not a new player problem, that's a kid problem. Many people in general do not like having their ears raped while trying to relax. And then there's people that bully kids specifically because the way they react... aka raging, screaming and in general very emotional when being targeted.
@@spugelo359 I don't understand that, because they could just mute the kid if they don't want to hear him.
I remember the first tf2 video I watched was "How it feels to play pyro" by Lazypurple, and I can't think of a better impression for this game. 1.2k hours and here I am : )
Currently I'm really bad at TF2 but I've got 115 hours.
I think from my perspective, what helped a lot was playing offline only for like the first 30-40 hours. That can honestly be a godsend for new players, not stressing about whether or not people are gonna be upset with you for being bad and trash talking you over getting lost, not understanding what's going on, etc. There aren't any sweats or jerks and you can just focus on learning the mechanics.
Now I play almost exclusively on community servers- no bots (with a few occasional exceptions but I've only seen 3 bots in hundreds or maybe thousands of times I've played)
The main reason I still love TF2 even though my K:D is usually in the toilet is because I'm just so invested in the characters and universe, it's always fun to just immerse myself in it that way.
But another huge factor is watching myself improve and finally learning new skills. It's so satisfying when people would help me learn and show me what to do, and it finally fell into place. The first time I got a kill, the first time I killed a whole bunch of enemies at once, the first time I had more kills than deaths in a match, the first time I got on the top 3 players at the end... It's so exciting to watch myself grow in that way
I remember my first game of tf2 being bad. I didnt play the game for a month until I was desperate to play something new because I was too broke to afford another game, so I went back to tf2 during the halloween event. It was a lot of fun then! Eventually I found out what community servers were and I found myself to be a regular in a trade server with a weird castle map. It was like a tiny community with regulars coming back in that server. I miss it still, the server was removed from my favorites list and i never found it again. A good chunk of my hours were spent in that server or this one skyhigh resort 24/7 VSH server or in a x10 randomizer 2fort server.
I started playing tf2 in 2020, one of the main things that got me playing was playing it with one of my friends on weekends. I remember we hopped onto a skial server I believe, and it was one of those free item servers. We went heavy and wore the officer's ushanka, the chicken kiev, and the paka parka and beat people to death. He also gave me my first real hat after I got premium, that being the brain bucket since he knew I liked pvz at the time and I still use that hat to this day.
I love the use of that strokes song in the opening so cinematic
My first game, i instantly bought kazotsky kick from the mannco store so i wasnt technically a f2p, but i found it really fun because everyone in the 2fort lobby i joined was actually really nice and helped me and let me kill them to get the gibus and pyro vision goggles :)
Little story I had, I had recently gotten my gibus and I was playing some 2fort engie. Took a guy's metal and he called me out for taking his metal from his dispenser and got me kicked. Funniest thing to me
Yo just got sent this and found my quake frags in there :0. Great video, I'm also a competitive TF2 player so found this video really interesting and you made some great points. Cheers :]
9:00 Oh Party Pug you're not gonna live till you're 90. I'm gonna make sure of it.
My first match was weird for me… it was 2 fort and I picked heavy, I didn’t know how to change class so I stuck with him. Of course 2 fort is 2 fort and there were a bunch of engies at intel but these guys on voice chat were rooting for me to capture the intel. I got the intel and me and the guys helped me get there. It was lots of fun and really told me that I probably wasn’t gonna drop this game anytime soon.
Man, I remember my first time playing this game.
If I remember right it was good old 2Fort, I remember messing around as a Medic, clueless about the existance of a medigun, playing battle medic before I even knew what that was. I wasn't initially having fun at all, no no no, I was getting stomped, opposing team had a _really_ vocal and toxic player who really for some reason hated playing _against_ a bad player. After couple minutes round ended and I closed the game only to get a steam message from one of the players from that round who offered me to play with him.
We went on some community servers, mostly empty minecraft trade ones, he helped me learn basics of the classes, helped me find the jump academy server to practice rocket and sticky jumping, helped me figure out how trading worked and generally was a good friend to have.
And by the time Jungle Inferno rolled out I started playing on my own and the guy moved off to do his own things, different games, life, who knows.
Now I'm nearing 3k hours spent in this game that I wouldn't of spent playing this game if not for a random player spending significant amount of time helping me get into this game and easing me in.
I remember my first TF2 experience like the back of my hand, I had some friends get me into it in 2014 and they brought me to an achievement server and got me all the classic free-to-play items (gibus, pyro vision, etc.) and told me they where the coolest hats in the game. Looking back I'm glad they gave me the true new player expirence, even if it was just them fucking with me, I wouldnt give up that memory for the world.
Keep going new players, it only gets better from here
When i first started playing TF2 in 2022 i was kinda nervous of entering online servers, so i would often find myself playing in the practice mode. It was almost 2 or less months later that i would actually start playing in online servers.
Why are newcomers so important? You gave the right analogy with quake, if there were no beginners this game would not be so fun, both for old players and for beginners. Old players would hate each other because someone is superior to them, and newcomers would not even have time to leave the spawn room, they would already be killed. Therefore, everyone should not be angry with newcomers, anyone from scouts to spies (especially doctors, they try their best to help, and if they start yelling at them for "bad treatment", they will never again wants to be a doctor). Sorry for the bad spelling, I used a translator, because I'm from Russia.
Back in the day I almost searched for everything that I needed to know before playing this game
Yet I'm still suck at it but it's fun to improving your gameplay
*The only problem is I'm a support main so I kinda need some stress away pill and some time in therapy after each gameplay*
Started playing tf2 back in 2021 the first map I played was upward I was very excited at the time not knowing that
There was bunch of bots the funny part about this is that I thought they were legit
2021? _OH GOD I'M GETTING OLD..._
I started played TF2 in 2012/13, My first map was pl_goldrush
This is why i make sure i'm never rude to new players no matter how mad i get. I don't want anyone to get discouraged from playing this amazing game
i might have 2k hours on tf2, but my aim as shit as a new player
I remember my first time playing tf2. I had a hard time loading into, and running, the normal maps. I joined a server that had mario kart 2, which was way easier on my computer at the time. It was quite popular and people were always goofing around. I remember one time I was jumping as medic with the crossbow along the track and accidentally killed an invisible spy. The guy I killed said "ohhhh you lucky fucker" and I can still hear his voice so vividly till this day. Hope he's doing well :)
Are We Not Gonna Talk About That His Popping Off With The Pomson 6000
Nothing like an lion begging zebras to stay at the savannah
I'm surprised how little people started in offline practice. I made sure to be at least decent at hard difficulty before even touching casual. I spent 20-30 hours in offline practice just trying to get better so that I wouldn't be a useless teammate in an actual game.
Thanks for this video. I just recently picked up the game but I've only been playing the tutorial modes, I think I'm gonna start playing online once I get a mouse.
My first game was I believe on dustbowl first
I had no idea where I was going and because it was dustbowl all I could see was the chaos unfolding onto my eyes
I loved the chaos then
and I still love it now
BreadMann made it into this one??? Always love to see him pop up around the community
Breadmann
i thank you for helping me with understanding the game bit more i always wamted someone to teach me the game and how to get bette first time i downloaded the game i had soo much fun i was on event with some ball playing as scout and eventually i stopped playing cuz i was bad but bc of people like you making tf2 videos i returned and i get better everyday :D
Underrated honestly, hopefully you get more recognized !
I remember my first match being in swiftwater and all i did was pick scout , stay in the cart and just shoot everyone with the pistol
Great use of the Strokes throughout the vid
The other thing about bad or new players is that they have the potential to COUNTER seasoned veterans! A veteran expects you to strafe and to make tactical decisions. What will a newbie do? Throw themselves forward and forget that the A and D keys exist. A new player's sporadic behaviour makes them excellent on offense. Let them throw the enemy off by diving head-first into danger, and immediately follow up with a push from the more experienced players while the enemy is still regaining their balance. Additionally, on classes that don't need incredible aim, such as Pyro, they can actually be incredible Ubercharge targets. A veteran is used to strafing and caution, and subconsciously do that during an uber... but new players? And unskilled players? They like to walk forwards. They like to walk forwards and fire their weapons at enemies indiscriminately. They like to walk forward and throw caution to the wind. This makes them excel at getting the best use out of Ubercharge. Sometimes, that F2P Pyro can be a better Ubercharge target than the Soldier on a killstreak you've been following this entire time.
Even the hatless Pyro in the corner there who your team has neglected is easily capable of getting four or five kills with a single uber push, all you have to do is let them, give them that little boost they need. While they may not have a good sense of positioning, boy are they good at dashing at enemies and getting frags.
Oh, and another thing, new players will stick to the objective like glue. This makes them even better on offense because, while a lot of people may hesitate to push the defended payload, the new player will charge forward and touch it, resetting the move back timer and giving the team more time to think. And those new players? A team of them is incredibly hard to get off the payload if you're lacking a skilled Soldier, Demoman or Engineer, and even those can fall flat if there's a Pyro who's good at Airblast in the mix. And that stickyspamming demo? Why not give 'em a Kritz charge? Crit stickies are terrifying, and if they know how to aim and hit... hoooooh boy, there's no better way to tear the entire enemy team apart. Oh, and that spy who keeps getting caught before he can make a play? The enemy team may get distracted by the callout and chase on the obvious spy. Use this moment of disorientation to act, it'll be a nice opening to push forward a little. Especially if they (unintentionally) baited the enemy Engie into wrangling their gun.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, not only are new players great for the game for the reasons you listed, they're also important in gameplay as well.
Been kicking ass in TF2C with my friends and this convinced me to try regular.
I remember when i was 4 years old and i saw meet the medic for the first time , i was scared af when i saw ubered heavy and i stoper watching UA-cam for some time , 8 years later in 2021 UA-cam recommended me meet the medic again and i was like "damn this game looks fun" so i played it and now i am 15 and ubers are a godsend not jumpscare .
Ive already downloaded tf2 since 2017, but i got no one to play with. I was completely confused because i'd immediately die from hightower and it wasn't easy as overwatch. I gave up and fast forward to now, i've met completely new people who have played for around a hundred to a thousand hours whom i'm having fun to play with and just chilling with our friends over discord. I'm really glad i picked up this game because the community doesn't take itself too seriously. i had my first time having a friendly match on 2fort few weeks ago and it was a really wholesome experience for me. I think no other experience in my life playing multiplayer games could top that and it's really refreshing
I remember my first game, I was like 7 years old and played sniper on two fort, I think I only got like 1 kill that round.
I've seen people look down on F2P's and that just... I can't even put on words, I love teaching the basics and recommending channels for tutorials of mechanics and mods.
I live in Brazil my first contact with TF2 was through my Father, he liked to play engineer, and when I got my ps3 he bought me the orange box, and so there I was with 100 ping having a lot of fun.
When I bought my PC I was a "veteran" so I knew most of the things but when I got more weapons, hats, etc that make even better together with new maps and mechanics.
If you are a F2P remember no one starts from the top, keep calm and keep playing, try again and learn from mistakes, and even if you see a guy with some C R A Z Y hats and cosmetics they might be not that good (that happens like 6/10 times), and yes you WILL hear a lot of shit and rage but also compliments and grateful people.
So good luck m8
As somebody who’s been awful at TF2 for a near decade cuz I legitimately can’t figure out game sense and not panicking in 1v1s, I’m glad to know I’m important
In my first match i was spy and cloaked into the enemy side of the map, disguised as a soldier and stared at a random sniper until he called me out and shot me to death
January 17th 2017, I started playing on a laptop i barely felt comfortable playing. The first map i played on was Harvest. I was on the Blu team and i was engineer, i remember just building my nest right next to spawn. and then leaving soon after because of issues with said laptop.
One thing that kept me playing was the goal to be called a hacker. It was on dustbowl, I was camping in a funnel as sniper, I was farming headsets with my brand new huntsman, and I killed the same demoknight 3 times, while he was charging. He got my team to kick me, but it felt so fucking good. I haven't stopped playing.
As a TF2 player with 2.5k hrs who has been playing for 4 years, I love playing with new players. Teaching new players, showing off TF2's rich culture of toxcicity(the thing that has held my interest and helped me continue the grind of casual), partying up with some dumb noob with 20 hrs and just trolling are such fun and chill changes of pace that help hand off the torch of the Casual Mindset to noobs.
They make the Ubersaw, Frontier Justice, Eyelander, Diamondback, Kunai, Bazaar Bargain, KGB and Air Strike worth equipping.
every time i see a player with a blue badge at the bottom of the scoreboard i just smile to myself, it makes me so happy to see the new players, sometimes i might even let them get a couple free kills just to keep them playing, new F2P's genuinely make this game great
¨even tho I cant even fucking download TF2 it still seems like a heck of fun¨
-the voices in my head said that
I started TF2, it was fun, maining Spy and trying the other classes if I get a new weapon, getting OWNED literally, switching to Spy and usually do worse...
I remember I was like 200 hours into the game at one point as a f2p and I got a random unusual hat drop. Best moment I ever had in a game ever. It was a Terror-Watt Brigade Helm.
the fact that I have been playing for 6 years now and I haven't progressed like in any aspect of the game is crazy (still having fun tho). my pc is like a 17 year old piece of scrap that runs it with like 15 fps constantly and I think that's the biggest thing holding me back now. ofc I don't have the money to update it or get a new pc so ig I'm just stuck here as a player that always gets stomped.
Even though you're British I still enjoy your content. Keep it up man 👍
I have no issue with new players playing medic when theyre still learning but for the love of god PLEASE keep yourself alive first before others
My first match wasn't long ago, it was a MVM match, on the mann-works map.
i have never had fun in tf2 casual because i keep getting queued into maps that are small. i then deselected those small maps, and when i finally got in a match with a big map, there's bots or very few players.
in those small maps, there's always tryhards with australiums that have very taunting names, and my teammates are clueless players that are a little worse than me (i mean no offense). i just want to quit the game once and for all.
i can't possibly improve in this rate because i just die no matter what i do. i tried to change my playstyle many times but they just kill me without a problem.
i tried to strafe and dodge as scout, it failed cause they can predict when i land to the ground, i tried to switch it up and play passively but to no results.
the last time i've actually had a positive k/d was when i was pocketed by a kritz medic and i was playing heavy. i don't remember anyone pocketing me later on.
my first game in tf2 was on a capture the flag map, I didn't know what to do or how to play and my first class to play was scout, and when I saw a frag video on nislt's videos I was convinced that I could do that too and for the past 7 years now I can say I have practically improved through out the years and I can just say that no matter what other people say to me or what they think, I just keep doing what I love doing.
As someone who started the game with 100+ hrs on tf2 youtube videos I have never experienced the new player phase
My guy casually using the Pomson
I’ve been playing TF2 for almost a month now and I’ve already gotten a little bit less trash at the game. But I still get my ass kicked and sometimes laugh it off. That’s what TF2 has come to.
I remember that the most fun i had playing this game was right when started playing it because of how fun the learning process is
I dabbled in tf2 with a friend a few times but I didn't get into it until I saw someone trickstabbing a scammer and people in the comments were saying that it was so impressive and I was like "I could learn to do that", I redownloaded it and hopped on spy and tried backstabbing while cloaked lul. Still learning spy but I am having a blast with lucksman sniper too alongside learning fancy spy tricks
Nice Strokes instrumentals on the background
#1 problem I came across w/ sniper: there is 0 pull back when you shoot so it is VERY VERY VERY difficult to shoot with sniper, just practice
I’ve been playing tf2 for about 4 months and honestly I’ve been having a good time playing with my friends. Also the people in the community are so funny, when a hear a somebody just saying things trying to sound like scout I just laugh
You've done it again Party
This is the biggest reason why i dispiced Gun Mettle, Though Break and Meet your Match. That push towards Competitive and more skill based, serious gameing was a backstab for the lighthearthed and casual fun mood of TF2.
What Valve needs to do is turning around alot of the changes, like reenabling random damage spread, what helped keeping the balance between players by removing skill based edgecases via suddel randomization.
Veterans might not like it, as it scrambels there skillfull play, but it garanties a more dynamic gameplay where everyone gets some good and bad moments.
Another one would be to reenable mods. Yes it can be used to get an gameplay advantage, but thats the kind of "Takeing teh game to seriously" Thinking that ends up being toxic. It makes sense in a professional tournament, but not in a casual server.
Making TF2 more casual again is something that would really help keeping the game alive and fun.
I only just got a PC. First thing I installed was TF2 my first game genuinely got me hooked. I joined an empty server. Just ran around for a while on scout. A guy joined on the enemy team as heavy and taunt killed me. Swapped to heavy asked him how he did it. Spent like 20 mins just 1v1ing that guy woth taunt kills exclusively. The idea that in such a ludicrously competetive gaming landscape there are still places where stupidity is encouraged is why I adore tf2
Just glad to see trade_sunshine making an appearance :)
I’ve never felt more appreciated
A new player discovering a Demo Knight the hard way probably becomes a horror film.
I have not played tf2 (As I don’t have a steam account lol) but I have grown up with it, just sitting on the sidelines. My first tf2 video was a ytpmv of heavy singing the tetris theme. When I got a roblox account, I played a roblox version of tf2 called “Typical Colors 2.” Its still fun either way.
I login TF2 every now and then just to pay my bit of keeping the game alive.
I find it crazy new guys are still joining, even with the current chaos there is.
TF2 is great when you play it enough, thank you newbies for pressing that download button.
F2p my self and it took me 3 games to start and then Pyro started camping our base
I remember my first game on TF2. It was on 2fort, I was doing the usual, running around trying to get kills, when I saw it. A bunch of people doing kazotsky kick in the corner outside of spawn. I couldn't believe it. People dancing in a first person shooter game? I was laughing my ass off. I had a great time
When you mentioned Quake i had literally ptsd...
I liked Quake games... then i actually joined an online match... and never wanted to play again
And then i moved to TF2 and actually stayed for a very long time
If any game requires me to "get good" so i *eventually* start having fun, then this game is as good as dead. It's kinda ironic that to have fun you need to *suffer* first because someone plays like if it was a f*cking tournament or whatever. Is it worth my time? NO. First time experience should be encouraging... not the opposite... I want to have fun so i get better, not to get better to have fun.
And yet when i tell this to my pro quake gamer """friends""" then they say something like: "you just should want to get better. It's all your fault". I refuse. I refuse to get better. I want to play casually. I don't want playing a game to be a chore. I have enough chores in real life. It's not my fault... it's fault of having this "git gud" mentallity and thinking that everyone is required to be the super ultra hyper pro gamer and if not then "just play other game lololol". They even dare to say that because of competive players like them multiplayer games are still alive. That some bullsh*t if you ask me.
Meanwhile in TF2 there is enough community gamemodes to scratch my itch for some first person shooter fun (same with halo custom games as well). And i never had issues playing it. Even if i die over and over to the same spy i am still satisfied and enjoying the game because who knows what kind of ridiculous thing may happen to that spy later.
Unfortunately the same pro quake gamers introduced me to TF2 as well (before they started making fun of me). We played together in 2019 or something and nowdays they are like "nah tf2 is dead. Quake still alive. Quake better". Too bad i have some news for them...
Jesus Christ why i had to write so much... nobody will even read that...
my first team fortress match was on gorge. I was playing spy not knowing where to go, after playing for like 20 or 30 minutes i got a drop (it was spy-cicle) all i can remeber is this but now i have over 1k hours.
Tbh I played my first game of tf2 the other day and I bottom fragged HARD. It wasn’t a bad experience but I think I was a bit overwhelmed by the idea of grinding to “get gud” at another FPS. But after watching this video, I think ima give it another try
i have not touched the game since 2014. just after the new years too! since i lost a lot of skill, i know i am a noob all over again. i do want to get back into the game but with the bots and cheaters, it makes it real hard. i lost my friends too that used to play that game. all i want to do is just goof off, make friends and have fun
actual gold, great video dude!
As someone who got into this game in 2021, it’s cool to see some appreciation for newer players. I always hated when people used “noob” as an insult in any game. Getting into the community feels like a huge game of “catch up” like there’s a lot of inside jokes and stuff that you get thrown at you. When I first played I absolutely loved how inherently funny it was, I sucked but I was having fun, and I adored the art style and the variety in all the character designs.
I once got frontier justice for my milestone and then played Hightower…and then placed my sentry on top of the tower to rack up kills
Then my sentry is destroyed and got 17(or 18) crits and I had fun with it
Been playing since 2011, if you are new and the chaos of the match confuses you, I recommend to pay attention to the deathcam (plus the kill replay if available) and the descriptions of the weapons that killed you. Also if you get the chance to be an spectator in a community server take a look at other players (preferably the ones with the high score), you may find new ways to use a class or how to use the map to your advantage.
3:05 demo man is overpowered
I just started playing TF2 this year. I remember when I first started I played as Spy wondering why going people knew I wasn’t actually a Scout. Now, a few months later I’ve become way better. After a few months, I’ve become way better. I went from One kill max, using SMG Sniper to chugging hardcore on this game. Respect new players, because we have 0 clue what we’re doing and just want to have fun
as a tf2 player who plays a lot this put a smile on my face
5:40 I mean it kind of is. Casual is infested with bots and community replacements like Skial and Uncletopia are mid and subpar compared to old Quickplay.
Other replacements like HiGPS, Bad Weapon Rehabilitation and Kogasatopia are underpopulated.
I remember being young af playing tf2 on a dell inspiron with no graphics card and the worst processor known to man and just logging into the minecraft server at like 20 fps (maybe less). I remember being on this one server where some other guy was heavy and i think he had the fairy wings cosmetic and it was just so surreal as all of these early weird fanmade maps were for source engine games. Then later when i was looking for a school laptop yesrs later, i was looking for specs good enough tonrun some games and i had not forgotten tf2 even though i hadnt played in years due to the crappy computer. Installed it once i got it sinxe it was still free, and then I never stopped playing
You know as someone dumb and casual seeing this makes me smile.
that end scene tho
I remember my first game being on 2fort and I kept getting destroyed so I downloaded lmaobox and immediately got banned with only 5 hours. After 2 years from that I have 3000+ hours and I love this game with a passion!
lmao
I think one of the hardest bits getting into TF2 was bots. Not just playing against them, but with them -- so many players would be like "OMG RED KICK UR BOT" and I'd be like "what bot?" And the other team would accuse us of sheltering the bot, that bots are easy to spot, and anyone who doesn't ban their bots is a dumbass... all without explaining why they know it's a bot beyond "it's obvious" or a thank you when it was gotten rid of.
Few years later, yeah, I can recognize a bot, but I still see this jackass behavior of scolding teams of newbies for not immediately recognizing a cheater. So please, if you're a vet and you just got a lovely freeze frame of your death from a bot, tell the other team who the bot is, request a kick, and say thanks for kicking them.
I am not that much bad at shooting games and after few hours I start getting it.
but I remember when I start playing I win the first game and in 2fort I was Scout and get intelligent all by myself and everyone liked me and for started there act great and friendly for that I really enjoy this game even this day
by the way I'm still free to play
As a Main Medic with like.. 6 years of experience in TF2, I can say that I miss the old me, don't understanding anything of what was happening was actually good and really fun, now I normally try to help new players or people that I see who needs a little help, TF2 is just an awesome game, full of great moments for me and it sure is too for much more people.
Without bad players we end up with something like apex where you cant do anything because its so goddamm sweaty that new players can't make any progress
