There is a very simple solution to stop the gate glitch in the beginning: Make players invincible to the other team's weapons for that short period of time. Seriously, why haven't they done that?

I will agree with Ayepecks about the Pryo. I sometimes have huge problems with the Backburner, where I'll be torching someone from the back, and no crits come out.

Sure, I'll admit it's full of whiners and fanboys. But the frequency of posts about how underpowered the Pyro was before the update says something. It was even mentioned in articles about the game on gaming sites.

The pyro was very underpowered during the initial beta but was buffed shortly after launch - after that it wasn't considered an underpowered class (not beyond the occasional moan / topc). There were still the occasional moan but the Pyro Achievements update didn't really affect balance (other than the +50hp with the backburner, though that was removed in a subsequent update). I hang around the Steam forums a lot... at least the complaints about the soldier being overpowered have stopped.

All I was saying is that it makes perfect sense that ppl will whine about a class that is more difficult to play. So to me at least, it seems pointless to point to "tons" of forum posts. =p

Also, yah, I don't have a lot of hours as pyro (20hrs) the times I did play it though, well, it's pretty easy to top the score board, so it baffles me to think that ppl think it's underpowered. Most pyro's charge blindly hoping for the kill, thus most pyro's are easy to take out by most other classes. Unless of course, they actually flank/flee/shoot at a distance, etc. when necessary...

Edit:

I said nothing in regards to points. Pyro deserves points just like all classes, but it makes sense that most of its points will be coming from assits, and not single kills. Isn't that the reason there are assist points? =P Again, pretty easy to top scoreboard... Secondly, It's not the MOST difficult class, and it's not difficult for the sake of being difficult, it just has a bit of a learning curve, because its a bit different from what you would do in your average shooter, hell the genre of game in general is suppose to be very direct. The pyro however, is clearly not a directly offensive class (In general).

One thing that I think would be cool to add to the new environment is map interaction. Take, for instance, weather would be cool. Wind and rain could definitely effect real life battle and as such would be a neat thing to try and overcome or adapt to in the game. Could you imagine a teammate getting struck by lighting or someone you're about to snipe get blown away by a strong gust of wind. Certainly would be cool IMO as long as it is totally random and can effect both teams.

ive been thinking sort of about a new spy unlock for his upgrade, and i thought of this...

Instead of the spy having a pistol, we turn him into a total sneak/stab machine. You remove his pistal, and instead, you get 3rd person view. This way you can look around corners and over things easier to be able to tell when to go invis and disguise. Something that isnt overpowered or impracticle.

What I fancy for the demo-man is proximity stickies :D no remote detonation they stay alive till you die, but if anyone goes near them *KABLOOOOIIIEE* :D

While that would be a sweet idea (as a fellow demoman) i can help but think that demomen would just clog up choke points with them, payload stage 3 point one comes to mind...

I'd really like a implementation of wind, one that affected physics props (like when you first get off the train in HL2) and "jiggle bone" objects on normal props.

And maybe a way to have client side ragdolls that can be anchored in place and still collide with players (for those playing at home, plants that collide with you and don't lag)

If that is the case, to balance it, they should be able to be detonated by other explosives or by the pyros' air blast.

I think I saw news about CSS, CS1.6 and TF2 tournament coming soon, today on Steam. Anyone with link with more info?

The message.

Some good suggestions up there. About the demoman: what about a replacement gun that, instead of charging up to determine how far sticky grenades shoot, it just increases a bomb's blast radius when charging up (at the cost of some ammo)? To keep that balanced, borrowing D!ABOL!C's suggestion they should explode on any contact with any projectiles, making it possible for an enemy to turn a demoman's boosted bomb on himself.

2fort and Goldrush are my favorites

Plus one.

I also play Gravel Pit occasionally. Other than that, I haven't touched the other maps.

Going into a long stalemate in 2fort is an effective time killer. :p

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Umm, read my answer again! If you have something to add or contribute, feel free. Otherwise my point was that you apparently dont want faster updates... so you want slower updates by process of elimination. If you have something to contribute, meaningful answers are better.

    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love

      By Eder Cardoso · Posted

      These features described above are good, but far from what developers will like the most. The main feature that developers will care and love the most it's called "Bring Your Own Models". It gives us the ability to connect to LOCAL AI models running on Ollama. The feature it's located on GitHub Copilot tab -> On the model picker where you can select "manage models" instead of paid models and then it will show you the "Bring your own models" window where you can now select Ollama and the endpoint of your local server. So if you have a beefy spec machine you can now use your own model 100% local inside Visual Studio 2026 18.7.0
    • Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft Teams is getting a controversial location tracking feature that users may hate by Usama Jawad Image generated with Microsoft Copilot Earlier this year, Microsoft planned to roll out a controversial location tracking feature in Teams, but following customer feedback, it decided to delay its release. The bad news is that the company has decided to launch it later this year, but it's based on roughly the same design that was shared earlier, which means that many users still have good reason to worry. Basically, Microsoft Places and Teams have received workplace check-ins via Wi-Fi. The idea is that if an employee arrives at the office and connects to their enterprise network, their profile status indicator will show them as being present in the office. For example, if you arrive at work, open Teams on your PC, and connect to the "Studio B" company Wi-Fi network, your Teams profile will indicate that you are present in "Studio B", as shown below: Microsoft says that this feature is basically a replacement for physical workplace check-in peripherals, it reduces the need to manually update your status, and it also enables co-workers to know that you're at work so that they can coordinate in-person meetings with you. IT admins can enable this workplace check-in capability at a tenant level, and users have the ability to control whether they want to enable it or not. Of course, all of that sounds great on paper, but naturally, many Teams customers may still have concerns, as they did before. This is because it enables your reporting manager and other members of the organization to track if you are at the office, when you arrive at the office, and where you are right now. This could be problematic for people who work in what they consider to be flexible work environments or hybrid setups, and this kind of location tracking could be considered an invasion of privacy. Microsoft has tried to alleviate some of these concerns by letting users know that they can manually set their location easily, which essentially overrides workplace check-in if they feel uncomfortable with it. However, that doesn't really solve the problem because your organization could enforce a workplace policy that mandates that this feature remains enabled. The Redmond tech giant has also assured users that this capability does not store historical data and is only a real-time indicator of location. Finally, it only generates a signal when you connect to a corporate network, which means that if you are working from home and connect your PC to your personal Wi-Fi, it won't broadcast your location to your employer; you will simply be shown as "Remote". Microsoft has encouraged IT admins to prepare for this change and begin informing users so they know what to expect once it begins rolling out later this year.
