“tf_dropped_weapon_lifetime” = “30”
game cheat

Command doesnt work while sv_cheats is 0, so its a pointless command to have in etf2l config, re-introduce weapon pickup ban and highlight it properly. Althought I don’t see any reason to ban all weapon pickups, but whatever, just etf2l things I suppose.
Just my 2 cents :^)

Guys lets have another argument about this

medigun pickups are awful for the game but I can’t see it being a big deal for other weapons. The only thing that concerns me is that in lower div games it might not be obvious for players that the enemy is breaking the rules (people are not necessarily good at counting ubers), and they might end up shafted without even knowing.

Sourcemod cvars should be part of ETF2L’s config, since not everyone might use Sourcemod on their own servers.

Weapon pickup is a great feature that some people underestimate. One of the good strategies that can be executed with it, is to rollout as a Soldier with a Rocket Jumper and a Shotgun, do fastest rollout, kill the Demo and wait until your or enemy Soldier dies and pick up his Rocket Launcher.

Other situation is where you’re running out of ammo and don’t have time to go for the ammo pack, so you pick up dropped weapon to get your ammo, which actually happened to me during the official where I had to pickup a weapon to get my ammo back, but I soon realised that the weapon pickup is banned so I quickly suicided. :^)

The problem with weapon pickup system is that not everyone knows how to properly use it in right situations, if lets say on Badlands enemy Demo runs Quickiebomb launcher and your Demo runs stock, you win Mid fight, your Demo survives and you want to execute the strat with removing stickies on Last point and having Soldier(s)/Scout(s) rushing it, well you can do it if you pick up enemy Demo’s Quickiebomb launcher instead of going back to spawn, which saves plenty of time and gives a nice element of surprise, overall making game much more interesting.

Tf2 team is trying to introduce more interesting (and borrowed) elements into this game and competitive (at least EU) scene is just showing a big middle finger to them, which is a complete joke from our side in my opinion, just allow it, it never hurt anyone.

And if someone is accusing someone for a Medigun pickup, just tell player who reported the enemy to watch Pov/STV demo by himself and tell the tick of the demo, so admins know where to look, if they wont bother doing it, then it’s their problem, if they really want enemy team to get a warning or if they want a default win for a rule break, its up to them to check everything.

Weapon pickups are still in the rules, see 2.2 in season 23 rules.

Can’t enforce source mod on all servers.

Well, you could enforce TFTrue on all servers. For example ESL has always enforced their server plugin on all CSS servers and it’s been done on many other games.

I could remove the cheat flag in TFTrue from that cvar if it’s needed.

I don’t have a problem with weapon pickups myself

What would be ideal if valve introduced a new cvar which disabled dropped medi guns from retaining uber percentage.
