      @EmilyKimMartin Рік тому +12

      TF2's lost much of its quality over the past few years. The community is extremely obnoxious and with a superiority complex and elitist caste system based on who is the biggest loser with the most money spent on hats and time wasted in front of their PCs, most weapons are but shadows of their former selves due to insanely bad and stupid rebalances and nerfs, Meet Your Match killed the game, every update breaks something in the game, the only meaningful attention it gets from devs is to flood the shitty overrated overpriced cosmetics lootbox casino with more hats for the insecure small dick playerbase, there's a tendency to gatekeep new players solely because they don't own cosmetics (lmao), the anti-cheat (VAC) literally does not work, bots are a real problem that they refuse to fix, and the entire game's code is expired spaghetti held together by duct tape.
      But it still has a lot of personality and synergy between its classes, the community-made content in the server browser is amazing and you have some of the most variety in playing the same game over and over and over again with stuff like Class Wars, 100% Crits, VSH, Deathrun, Dodgeball, Randomizer, x10, Balloon Race and many others.
      It is an experience unlike any other when you get it right. It's worth a try at least once!

    About the Red Tape Recorder.
    I found the best use is against multiple engi nests where you know that you can't kill and sap them all.
    Especially in a hot zone, where your team and the nest are clashing constantly.
    In those situations, a normal sapper would only deal some health damage, but the red-tape delevels the buildings, makes them weaker, and takes more resources to build up again, especially when they are simultaneously under constant attack and in need of repair.
    The tactic is to go in, sap as much as you can, and ringer out, rinse, and repeat in coordination with your team's pressure.
    In those scenarios does the Red Tape Recorder shine.
    Thank you for that amazing in-depth video and all the joy and content you create!
