The arguments for unlocks: it adds new tactics that can be explored (Scottish Resistance on BL last/Buff banner (although that may be OP) and yes I just used a bracket inside a bracket (mindfuck)) some items add whole new dimensions to a class (Equaliser/FaN/Gunslinger) and make it competitively viable (Degreaser/Dentonator if it gets added/GRU if it was nerf a bit). Other weapons increase the skill ceiling of a class (Ambassador). Other are admitably are OP and those should be banned. Other are useless and will never see competitive play (Black Box), but some people may like to try them and might find something interesting to do with them, so they shuuld be allowed.

Loved the article that Racio (I think) linked a while back interesting read, basically summing up the entire unlock argument rather well and offering an interesting view that TF2 is one of the few games were the ‘pro’ players have the same views as the scrubs in different games. Please link more interesting articles, not even on gaming in general, as I have basically given up on acedmic work, but love to read and argue, in general explore ideas anything I get that is interesting is good. Also people should go read Freakonmoics and the squeal, which I am reading atm, just about to finish it.

P.P.S

I have swung about two or three times between Vanilla and unlocks, people are presenting good arguments on either side. At the moment I am in between, I think Vanilla is easier to implement across leagues and LAN’s but unlocks can provide a new dimension to the game that I do enjoy seeing and using.

From previous thread.

nobody was interested in your opinion there and nobody is interested in your opinion here

Sorry I had a confused idea of what a forums was, thanks for correcting me.

From last thread as well, concerning same person.

I realise I am getting trolled, but I don’t think I have met someone who is so infuriatingly slow.

Can people please stop and compare tf2 to football / css / other games?
tf2 has been successful all the time BECAUSE its gameplay is different, with or without the unlocks. Hence why you can’t compare it to css and say that people will get tired of it since it has _so_ many variations to many situations (plus you spawn and don’t wait till the end of the round).

I would like to request this thread to be locked please, it has been hijacked and taken away from the initial point I was making which was about a voting system, now we have the same old shitstorm ragefest I was talking about

cheers

Could RaCio or an admin maybe post here since this request/comment is quite legit tbh :s
