Global Agenda anyone?

:roll:

Personally I have no issue with what gets decided, none of the weapons annoy me really, players killing me with them does.

My point is that for a competitive FPS game that needs to progress competitively and specifically needs to impress people from other games, not just our own, playing with swords, shields and jars of piss simply isn’t the right way to go.

Limiting certain weapons to 1 only makes things more confusing to some people who may not play this game competitively, either ban them completely or allow them.

I honestly doubt that the majority cares even the slightest about what the CS or CoD boys think about TF2.

On the contrary, this game will not progress competitively if just TF2 people like it. I don’t necessarily care what the CS or CoD boys think about TF2, but I definitely care about what the big tournament organisers think of TF2. These organisers often turn out to either be CS or CoD players themselves OR alternatively just more fond of CS and CoD.

And where is it written that people dont like shield,sword and jars of piss?

In a perfect world yes a weapon would either be completely banned or completely un-restricted, limit 1 is the best compromise though.

Limit 1 is the easiest and best solution. Banning new weapons sucks for me, the new tactics and playing styles brought by unlocks means the game doesn’t stagnate and brings with it new ways to play and win. Yes they might take a bit of getting used to, yes they can be annoying to begin with and yes some people will always reject change, but I, and many others I know, welcome the chance to try something different.

I can’t see many teams wanting to run 2 direct hits and losing all that splash or dropping stickies for a shield or having 2 FANs or having both sollies shottyless. If they do then the disadvantages are there to compensate.

I welcome ETF2L’s ruling and think if anyone really cant stand it then goodbye and good riddance!

(And grow up you whining baby!)

The whining comment wasn’t directed at anyone in particular, just the ‘I’m gonna quit brigade’ in general.

Also, I’m afraid you’re wrong about me whining if it all went vanilla. I’d just get on with playing this game that I love, to the rules set out by ‘Da management’.

What is the point of limiting weapons?!
Either the weapon is balanced or not. That means allow it or not. That limiting bollox is one of the most stupid things ive ever seen in my 13 years of gaming.

Either balance the weapons urself (tftrue) or ban them (vanilla), but stop limiting annoying unbalanced weapons. There is absolutely no sense in the these limits.
No sense at all.

No sense at all.

Adding variety? Increasing options? Avoiding stagnation? All of these are achieved without changing the game completely. Like has been said before, I doubt most teams would run 2 of the same unlocks generally anyway.

To Papayou,

1. Because not everyone has it (including me).
2. Because of mutual agreement.
3. Because people with bad aim or no patience/game sense are terrible with it.

The point is if you have some aim, game sense and luck – it becomes over powered. Most teams don’t want to leave the outcome of their game to luck.
