With TF2, you’ll meet either the nicest people, the dumbest of people, or the rudest of people nowhere in between in this community

Tf2 is like a kindergarten class. You walk in and see a bunch of kids playing with generic Barbie dolls, but once you get closer, you realize they’re playing World War Four. A kid walks up to you and gives you a flower. Another one says a curse word

OW comms: "That Anna is one!" TF2 comms : "I milked their heavy."

"Does Valve hate money?" No, they just get enough from Steam.

be like valve >does nothing >wins

Overwatch: creates a brand new character to suit a new type of gameplay Tf2: just slaps a robo hand on the engi

I died a little inside everytime you called kills "eliminations".

This Man just started playing tf2,and hes already a better scout than me after 2k hours. Fml

today is 4 years since Rick May's death fly high soldier🕊

"The gemplay meta" As TF2 player I don't know what it means

"...with great movement, fun map" -Shows Hydro

It's wild to me the difference in vocabulary between these games. Kills we call them kills here

3:11 >Play tf2 for the first time. >enjoy hydro. >leaves and refuse to elaborate. Welcome welcome another hydro enjoyer!

2:33 "Most of these characters have hit or miss weapons," (Misses backstab)

Valve is literally The grandfather of thousands of games

Announcer: INTRUDER ALERT! A RED SPY IS IN THE BASE! Soldier: A red spy is in the base? Announcer: Protect the briefcase! Soldier: We need to protect the briefcase! Scout: Yo, a lil' help here? Soldier: I got it. 1, 1, 1, ummm, 1. Scout: Go, go. Heavy: INCOMING! Scout: AAA-hey, it's still here! Spy: Ahem. Gentlemen. [Meet the spy intro plays.] Spy: I see the briefcase is safe. Tell me, did you happen to kill a red spy on the way here? No? Then we still have a problem. Soldier: And a knife. Scout: Oooh, big problem. I've killed plenty of spies, they're dime-a-dozen back-stabbing scumbags - like you! Ow. No offense. Spy: If you managed to kill them I assure you they were not like me. And nothing, nothing like the man loose inside this building. Scout: What are you, president of his fan club? Spy: No, that would be your mother! Scout: [Stammers] Spy: Indeed, and now he's here to f**k us! So listen up boy, or pornography starring your mother will be the second worst thing that happens to you today. Soldier: Oh! Scout: Gimmie that! Spy: The spy has already breached our defenses. Engineer: Sentry down! Spy: We've seen what he's done to our colleagues! Sniper: [Gets backstabbed] Ahhhh! Spy: And worst of all, he could be any one of us! Medic: Raus, raus! Red Spy: [Turns into Medic] Medic: Nein... Spy: He could be you, he could be me, he could even be- Scout: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Soldier: What? It was obvious! He's the red spy! Watch, he should be turning red any second now......any second. See, red! Oh, wait that's blood. Heavy: So, we still have problem. Soldier: Big problem. All right, who's ready to go find this Spy? Scout (now Red Spy): Right behind you.

wait till he sees community servers like skial or uncletopia

Overwatch fanbase: No Variety TF2 fanbase: 🤖

It's hard to think the two fanbases fought a long time ago.

The thumbnail is immaculate.

tf2 is balanced pretty well, because it has only 9 characters, the same ones the game came out with each with it's own unique mechanics and purpose instead they add weapons to spice up the gameplay which are a lot easier to balance than characters

Makes me so happy to see ow2 and tf2 fans just chilling, both games have unique charm from characters/art direction and different playstyles (one being competitive the other more casual). While ow2 isn’t the game for me I’m happy you found two games you can enjoy!

Tf2’s short range combat brings in a skill many other games don’t have to a degree tf2 does, *game sense* which is why every encounter is fun, because it mostly comes down to your choices.

Intruder alert: a overwatch player is in the base 💀

I was a big fan of OW1 before competitive took over and slowly drained any love i once had for the game patch-by-patch over the first few seasons. TF2 has everything I loved about OG Overwatch and more, it's the only game I've found that really fills that void.

Valve simply doesn't have the hunger in their bellies and the fire under their feet that other game devs have.

I have near 900 hours in tf2 and I dont think I will stop playing it

"you feel yourself improving by the second" Literally this. Got into tf2 recently and it's so cool to FEEL yourself get better dearh by death

Always interesting to see the perspective of an outsider looking in. I've been in and out of TF2 for ages, so a fresh perspective is always fun and this nails the feel of TF2 and the unfairness of Valve leaving it to accrue money for no work.

"TF2 hasn't received a major update in 7 years" there was a summer 2023 update that added new maps, cosmetics, weapons, and a seal.

demo knight is a lot of fun, mostly it's about knowing when to go in, its pretty similar to playing spy if you couldn't use sappers

“This video may come out when season 9 is released” my brother in Christ the season is over

Heyy that's our poster at 8:15! For those who don't know we're running a charity in honor of a TF2 community member who passed away - Stephen "Miggy" Chavez. Come check us out today as today is the last day of the charity event :)

Fun fact: The Spy and Scout are Father and son, respectively.

Speaking of Overwatch and TF2 I was always surprised Overwatch became more popular since at the time it cost money while TF2 was free for over 5 years

Valve doesn't hate money, in fact they love it so much that they only produce cosmetics

"and a game inspired by overwatch" *and i felt that, and it hurt me*

The only thing close to a "meta" in TF2 is having a medic on your team.

You should check out how easy it is to customize the game too, with huds and configs, you can really make the game your own basically.

"elimination"

Its always nice seeing videos of people playing my favorite game for the first time, I just hope the single Valve developer (yes it's confirmed only one Valve employee is doing work on TF2) finds a way to take care of the bots for good so more people can play it and get the same experience that I did when I first played instead of a lobby full of bots

Great video Bro! Love to see it from a fresh-er perspective (not sure how many hours you have total). You brought up a lot of points that I’ve taken for granted or never really considered over the decade of playing. Gave me a slightly new perspective on aspects of the game. Well done!

He is seeing the light!!

I find this such a refreshing overview of the game. There are some great hour or more essays talking about the game but seeing an outsiders perspective really reminds of the fundamentals that make the game great. In 10 minutes no less.

He said "Emotes" instead of "Taunts". Imposter.

let's protest Infront of the valve headquarters. on the 1st of may.

Amazing video as always Mr. WittedGamer

it's honestly heartwarming knowing more people are coming to my favorite game and enjoying it as much as I do, I hope you continue to have fun!

0:27 the way it silently transitions into the still image of the crossed arm fursona is hilarious

I'm having an aneurysm listening to overwatch terms being used to describe everything

I liked your video! I've been playing TF2 since 2009 and it's been a blast for each year. This is an ageless game

Glad you enjoyed the game! I’ve been playing since 2012 and every time I come back my muscle memory kicks in and once I start rocket jumping I immediately remember why I love this game so much. The pure freedom of movement in this game is unrivaled in anything else I’ve played. I also have hundreds of hours of OW, playing since 2016. I like OW because I’m someone that has random itches to play different play styles and playing all the different heroes helps with that. But I’ve always been more agitated on average playing OW because of some abilities being ridiculously oppressive offensively and defensively. Which leads to a feeling of not being out skilled but the player just pressed a button better than you did.

You are in for a world of -pain- plucking

ngl im glad to see people jumping back or new players getting back into it. i havent played it recently but this game has a good spark i personally cant say.

What I love about tf2 weapon balancing is that it’s rarely ever about slight stat upgrades but by giving all non stock weapons a gimmick, like the air strike having increased firing speed while in the air, or the le’tranger trading damage for benefits to cloaking, or the banners for soldier and shields for demo, the flare guns for pyro incentivizing switching between the flame thrower and the flare for massive burst damage potential

Fighting over games is stupid, as a just a simple TF2 fan i welcome you to the comunity whit open arms, i hope you have fun

"It doesn't have any repetitive lobbies." That's because you don't have competitive experience. TF2 competitive community decided a meta that is "most fun" and used community rulesets to ban any other way of play. On top of this, the competitive scene is dominated by one super team Froyo who are on ANOTHER MULTIYEAR WIN STREAK. Despite TF2's growing playerbase, it's comp viewers are declining, because no one wants to watch the same returning champion team win again using the same strategy they've used for 8+ years. It would be like if Smash Bros. leagues banned all characters except for Fox and Marth, and 1 fox main won 80% of world tournaments. It doesn't matter that fox is "fast" or "satisfying", because people don't want to watch the same match 10000 times. Here's a recent example, Demoman players always use the grenade launcher / iron bomber. Recently, pro Demoman players have started to prefer the Loch n Load because they are starting to see that having faster grenades may be a slight advantage compared to having rollers. This possible minor meta shift happened after 6 years of NO balance patches. And you know how the TF2 community responded to this? One of the leagues already banned the weapon. This is how cartoonishly resistant TF2 is to a meta change. As a TF2 Fan and a OW ex-fan. My hopes for OW 2 was that they would use the scrapped abilities from the PvE progression and add ability loadouts to the game. When they chose not to, I really had no interest in trying OW 2, because my faith in OW was already burned by some of the terribly designed heroes they added near OW 1's development end. Characters like SIgma and Brig at launch acted like a damp towel on the last remaining bit of fun that game had.

'Live footage of OW player realizing the power of POOTIS'

He's already talking like me, and I've played this game for 13 years. The man went full native.

Have you played "tf2 classic" and "open fortress" ? These are separate multiplayer games created in the same style from fans.

i feel like, tho it's sad that Valve left the game, it didn't leave the game unfinished, we got what we needed, the game is completed, while we do not want the game to die, the game is already done and eventually will of course, die. The bot problem is horrible ofc, but outside that, the game doesn't need anything else, a major update would be great but, it isn't REALLY necessary, getting rid of the bot problem is the best that Valve should do, at least from my perspective.

I think an important part of the loadouts that bears emphasis is that, in almost every instance, alternate options are not straight upgrades. Stock loadouts are completely viable for all classes, and are in many cases one of the best in slot options due to being incredibly well balanced. The most common exception to this is melee weapons on classes who already do absurd close range damage with their primary, such as scout, heavy, and pyro.

7:22 Oh god, what just happened? *I HAVE A SHOTGUN!*

Tip to overwatch players who wants to play tf2. Never say Heroes,emotes,turret You will get kicked and get a lot of ******** Dont say you play overwatch. You will get the same results.

bro how long has been this vid in the oven season 10 will come out in a few days lmao

Welcome to the right side of history

You should see what happens when you use overwatch terms in comms

🤓👆As a former TF2 player myself, I enjoy this video and your support for the game. 👆🤓

2:35 i think this is one of the biggesst reason why people rarely move on from tf2, the fact that MOST weapons are poweful "single shot" weapons and the most prominentones are projectiles means that this game can both have high ttk and high damage. since you can safely count how many pipes/grenades/shotgun shots/crit flares are needed to hit someone. rather than tracking the enemy down waiting for he/she to die. it gives dondging slightly more feedback too since you usually can see the opponent miss. this kinda works in favour of tf2 too, since tf2's movement is very limited unless you're creative.

Calling Team Fortress 2 as hell is an understatement Even without the bots, fought wars here in asia by this point.

tf2 is such an anomaly to me. on one hand it's a fun fucking game, the direct hit is still one of the best weapons, but on other hand the tf2 community got to be one of the most pretentious mfers in gaming, they will brag how amazing their game is while shitting on other fps games that exists lol.

Man, watching this as a tf2 fan is so weird, I keep hearing overwatch lingo and laughing to myself (muslek did the same thing when he came back to tf2 for the first time in awhile, its from the same video as the clip)

7:15 "I have a shotgun" - Soundsmith

Excellent video!

Wow! What an entertaining and respectable guy! I wonder if he is the same way in his discord PM's!

"I have never seen a game, with such a dedicated fan base that's still willing to play a game that hasn't had a major update in 7 years" Geometry dash:

The default setting viewmodel_fov is a claustrophobic nightmare

I only got 400 hours in tf2 and i just started in august back then in 2023 but i absolutely love it

The inspiration from "How it feels to play..." from LazyPurple is palpaple, the engineer segment is basically 1:1 to his video ',,,'

My transition was tf2 to ow2. Both are my happy places for some odd reason! I loved the spy,soldier, scout,pyro

That's a very good thumbnail

"the next game you can have an even spread of characters" Shows a team with 2 snipers and 2 spies

Quick tip, look up surfing. That’s the mechanic behind that map you were on in the last clip. You make momentum with the rocket jump then slide along that slanted wall to retain the momentum

Somebody watched LazyPurple. It's good to see people from other communities recognize this beautiful game and valve for doing bad. Godspeed and fix your mic settings.

Great Video!

As long as none of that Overwatch lingo is heard or seem, you won't here "You came to the wrong house, fool!!"

In Overwatch, I notice that there's a lot more pressure to play specific classes in order to have a team that has a good enough balance to fight against the enemy (if no one goes healer, you're just not gonna have an easy time) In TF2, since it's normally a 12v12, there's less pressure on people to play specific classes, allowing some leeway for people to play as what they want. Hell, you don't even need to have a good balance of classes on the team, Heck, I've won entire games by getting our entire team to go Demoknight/Phlog Pyro/Engineer/Heavy/etc.

It's also probably because the voice actors are helping by just beeing awesome

Ah welconne to the fandom my dude

4:50 tip for Spy, never disguise as Scout, Spy will slow down to match the speed of whatever class he is disguised as, but never speed up nor gain any jumps, etc., and Scout as no items that lower his movement speed and items that either add or improve his jump so your about as obvious to spot as bull in a china shop when disguised as a Scout, also if your uncloaked when the Demo or Pyro respawn in this clip they will see you through walls for a short bit so long as your disguised as a member of the enemy team. As for Scout, it's a good idea to always stay moving (you even have a clip in this video where you die because you weren't moving). 3:35 personally I like the Homewreaker as it allows me to remove Sappers from Engineer's buildings, along side the Nostromo Napalmer (stock Flamethrower reskin), and the Scorch Shot to finish off the Pybro loadout and allow some harrassment options, and for as much as people hate the weapon Scorch Shot is arguably the best secondary for Pybro (Pyro who sits on a Engineer nest), it's little mini-double-donk stun + the AoE fire on explosion make it perfect to pair with a Sentry Gun, as if they get away they will likely die from afterburn or a follow up flare, or the stun will let the Sentry kill them, and it's great for harrassing Snipers or checking for Spys at long range, as neither class really likes being on fire.

This honestly inspired me to play tf2 again

Bought the game in 2014. 2.5k hours in total. I don't play it consistently anymore but I just keep finding myself coming back to it because I just know I'm always going to have fun.

demoknight is : first time you try, that you get or not a kill "huh, it's kinda neat, but i dont see the apeal of it" and then, you leanr about ramp, trimp, and using the buggy code of tf2 to gain momentum with the slow left or right in the air. Demo knight is for the noob the funny class, but for the expert, the ultimate assassin. even better than spy because nobody see it coming and yet, it goes from one point of the map to the other faster than any othert class from tf2 and any character from Overwatch can do. Even Hammond.

The 70 FOV genuinely made me make noises in disgust when I first saw the gameplay

Thank you Bird man.

When you are disguised as a sniper as spy and saying you are trying to fool them you're holding a melee as your disguise so it just looks like your A D ing as a sword sniper from 5 miles away from the enemy and I just thought that was funny! Great video btw!

at end "hope i see you downloading it" my computor with 3 gigs left see a 23 gig game

The game play at the end was adorable he has no idea how to surf
