What multiplayer shooter should I play instead of the once great but now shit TF2? Preferably one that fosters a community and doesn't force the matchmaking queue meme.

Well there's that one Russian game, I think it was called Roulette or something? I think it might be exactly what you're looking for.

Community's pretty dead though.

Xonotic.

u mad
?

Not a shooter, but it has the best multiplayer out of all of em

Looks interesting, downloading now.


After being disappointed by OW and this latest update by Valve, yes.

That's a good reason for why TF2 is shit.

Not videogames.

Have you taken those meds yet?

The alternative you're looking for doesn't exist.

You already know but dont want to admit it.

OVERCUCKS GET OUT
I'D RATHER DIE PLAYING TF2 THEN PLAY THAT GODDAMN GAME

Team Fortress Two Classic

The same game only not shit essentially. We need more people playing it. All we get nowadays are memeing faggots that die like flies.

He asked for something without matchmaking.

Plus that's not even the least of the game's problems.

Are you referring to them removing the server browser?
Because that pissed me right the fukc off.

The problem is, I just dont think a game like you are expecting exists.
It took valve years to perfect TF2. And really, its been in development since the original quake mod.

Nobody is going to bother doing that again.
Look at overwatch. Everything thats good about it is taken directly from TF2. And everything that is different to TF2 is awful and spoils the game.
Im not saying having a big budget is everything. BUt if Blizzard spent so much money on a TF2 clone and fell so short, what chance does anyone else have?
Even if Valve brought out a TF3 it would probably suck for at least 2 years while they develop and balance everything.

It's only shit of a lesser degree due to how fucking incompetent the dev team has been with it.

Dev team hasn't fucked up the game too much. It is still more or less TF2 before shit updates. The problem is the devs are focusing on DM and their TTT knock-off instead of attempting to recreate beta.

Battlefield 2

Free? Dirty bomb will have you wait 1 or 2 mins until it finds you a match but after that you can stay on the same game, once the match ends another game loads

Planetside is alright, completely different but free and enjoyable, no matchmaking at

hawken is a good arena shooter too, controlls are a bit clunky but that's all it shares with mech games, it's more of a shooter

Most games nowadays have matchmaking, luckily they're short waits
You can also buy UT 2004 and help me revive the decaying game

There's warface or CS any of them.

this

btw, I heard BF 1942 and Vietnam are open source now

I fucking hate people who do this. It's fucking video games, and you're getting attached to fucking strangers because of them. If you consider yourself part of a video game "community", you may be higher up on the Kinsey scale than a normal person should be.

That doesn't sound like EA at all.

Fist Full of Frags

Pp-P-P-P-p-p-Pass the Whiskey

C&C, RA1, and TS are free as well. Hence why OpenRA exists.

overpriced is lacking compared to tf

The maps in overwatch are probably the worst part of a very flawed game.

But I think they have different game modes.
They have the classic point control mode like in TF2. And they have a payload one like in TF2. And an attack and defend mode like in TF2.

its owned by reloaded now, so its gonna go to shit in due time. theyre already banning people for "misleading the community"

Said by a guy who posts on an internet community that's centered around video games.

stop trying to force this meme

Agree with for Xonotic, also as said Dirty Bomb is fun and is a not a pay to win


It's dead Jim, and you only have to blame the developers for that

Didnt know about that, I dropped the game for months. Truth is, anything that makes the game more popular and attracts more players to the dying fanbase is good

They also are expressing serious interest in importing more features from current TF2 (some of which they already have), making the whole "classic" naming misleading.

Wrong, tf2c is awful and dead. The retard devs should have focused on making vanilla tf2 instead of this arena dm shit and now this upcoming TTT rip-off.

You know what killed that game?
The Devs wanted to make Team Fortress Classic 2
The people wanted Team Fortress 2 - Classic

Dirty Bomb gets boring fast but it might be for you. Personally its very laggy, killing people is a matter of luck and it doesnt hold any charm for me. Just doesnt have much replayability.

...

They didn't remove the server browser.
It's still there, I still constantly waste my time playing on freak fortress servers.

Pretty much, its still a community

The op said he was disappointed by overwatch.

Also, in my opinion, d'ohverwatch really isn't similar enough to Team Fortress 2 to consider them alternatives to eachother.

I suggest OP to find a group of people to play DB with because alone it's boring and almost depressing

I don't recall TFC having TTT or DM.
The only thing they were bringing back from TFC was the Escort mode (still unfinished) and some weapons (like medic shotgun and nailgun), but they decided to focus on DM and their "Espionage" mode more than anything else.

Dirty Bomb is good. Its kind of amazing that SD hasn't completely fucked it up yet.

I wish we could get a group going that would play it.

Because it can be absolute devastation when you have a team that works together.

I mean if you have a team that just has a little bit of organization over your average randos, its going to be a slaughter.

Try fortress forever

Honestly, I don't think the new Team Fortress 2 update would be that bad if there were some popular community servers that were vanilla and not 24/7 dustbowl.

Even without those, i don't think tf2 is now shit because of the update.

Yeah, the update didn't make it shit because it was shit already

Unreal thread when?

Sven co-op and Xonotic have them.

Verdun.

suck ur mother

Wait hawken has enough active players that they can afford to ban people for things other than hacks? News to me, last I saw_ it was D-E-D dead.

diabotical has a high chance of being pretty good when it comes out

...

It really isnt dead, at peak hours you can play with no issue, but most of the time it takes time to find a match and they're half empty

got ported console with some changes, like
NO customization (You cant pick a different primary weapon, for instance)
g2 mechs are straight upgrades not just in pure stats but with better items and internals too
new mechs are lazy (one with double miniflak and damage reduction ability, one with double seekers with rapid fire ability)

forgot to mention, those changes dont apply to pc version, that ones still the same

Monday Night Combat
Build and Shoot
Red Orchestra
Ratz Instagib

The late-night threads for these games are all pretty fucking great.

It was guessing 20 minutes or more when I last tried and "peak hours" sucks for those of us not on the east coast, +3 hours means peak is while I'm at work
You sure it ain't ded?


Eweww

But is there crossplay so the console pesants inflate the playerbase or am I still dependant on playing during us east coast prime time for any hope of actually getting a game?

I'm playing DB right now. Would love to get this kinda group going.

no, that would require the pc version to be equal to console.
why not visit the forums and watch the current shitshow unfold?

Because I'd rather play some vidya than bask in schadenfreude.

well, maybe come back in 10 years when i release a demo of my hawken clone.
its going pretty slow, because i cant get concave collision shapes to work.

I look forward to it.

I suppose this thread I'll post in this thread rather than making a new thread.

What do some anons think about helping to make a custom branch of TF2C? Clearly the devs don't have any intention on bringing a good vanilla/classic TF2 experience, but since code for the mod is open-source some source-savvy people could take the mod in their own hands. Maybe Holla Forums can make TF2 great again. inb4 ">Holla Forums making anything"

There's TF2 V1.0.0.5 or what was it
it was the predecessor and basis for TF2C and was basically 2007 TF2.

Yes, but who?

SWAT 3 not MEME 4

Frankly there'll never be such an alternative, OP. TF2 is still the best you're gonna get on this, though if it's any consolation they're aware by the overwhelmingly negative reception to the update and matchmaking in general that they've fucked up and fucked up irreparably. Matchmaking was and still is a fucking turd, but they pushed out a hotfix to something or other within three days when it usually takes them a week or two.

They didn't remove the server browser, it's still there and will probably always be there because Valve doesn't have the stones to commit to such a change. Click "Community Servers".

Counter-Strike 1.6

user monday night combat has been dead for a long time.

...

Re-read my post.

There's still games that pop up when a MNC thread does, and they usually get enough people to play some rounds for 2-3 hours.

Unless you're talking about SMNC, that game can go to hell.

I have been looking for one for a while but everything is shit

Anyone plays any of these turds? I think i played Neotokyo before and thought it was godawful but it doesnt show in the history.

pvk2 is still alive?

So I've heard of MNC before, but never played it, was it good?

We actually had such a group a few months ago. Though it didn't gain much traction, it was fun nonetheless. Personally I ended up on a hiatus because of it only having a few maps worth playing, though now it seems SD is following up on other promises, besides giving the fucking grandeur a red dot sight already.

Forgot to mention that Paladins is another game I'd recommend playing, if you want Overwatch but without any of the issues plaguing it like autoaim abilities. Sage for double post.

dunno, going to start downloading soon

These are the free games i tried on steam so far. Im pretty sure Planetside2 and Ghost Recon times are bloated since i definetly dint play those for that long.

Which is the most cancerous: Overmeme, or Undermeme?

Underrated post.

Team Fortress did. and TFCs playerbase is much in line with TFs playerbase.

I play bc2 vietnam, rising storm, and day of infamy mostly.

its actually pretty amazing that bc2 vietnam has full servers to this day.

The most cancerous is not having your own opinion and just parroting what Holla Forums tells you

It's funny how, despite having legit flaws, both games seem to cause people to go full retard when complaining about them.

We're always looking for new mavericks in MM8BDM
