Forum

For those who aren’t already aware, Valve has listened to the community (shoutout to ashkan and eXtine) and added a Competitive sub-forum to the Steam Powered User Forums. It’s probably been mentioned on ETF2L already, but I think it deserves it’s own thread. You can find it here http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1360

That’s right, you’re reading that title correctly. Valve has finally gotten its forum managers to add a competitive TF2 section to the official Steam forums. We (CommFT, ETF2L, eXtv, ozfortress, and VanillaTF2) have been emailing with them for more than six months trying to get this to happen and now that it has, the competitive community needs to represent itself well on the boards. Be sure to make an account, post helpful information about the competitive side of TF2, and be friendly with those who do not share your views of competitive play.

Note that this is a new main section of the forums so now discussion of competitive play doesn’t have to occur in the context of the “TF2 Beta” forum.

Personally I think it’s a great addition, and hopefully it will prove to be a nice resource for people interested in comp TF2. I’ve already made like 3 threads

Animal, you bastard.

Registrering on the forums, others should do too… show Valve that we really appreciate these kind of gestures!

Do you think we could try to get a comprehensive ‘how to get started’ thread, uh, started, and ask one of the mods to sticky it? Given how much stuff’s out there, it’d be a shame if people didn’t have access to it now that the competitive scene has an opportunity to open itself up to a wider community. Actually putting the thread itself together couldn’t be hard, and it might actually get read by people who don’t know anything about the competitive scene, i.e. targets. For recruitment, that is. Just things like links to MGE videos, VanillaTV, a guide in the thread itself (because people are lazy) and that sort of thing might actually make a difference.

Good stuff! :D

What’s with that pic?

“Updated localization files.”

Should the Equalizer be allowed in competitive play?

YES YES YES
