I feel sorry for TF2
I have loved the game since 2014 after the love and war update came out, watching a video of Jerma adoring the fat Engineer cosmetic while i've know about the game since 2008 from gmod youtube videos from Kitty 0706, DasBoSchitts and Uberman765 just to name a few.
It a shame that these days that there hasn't been any important valve made update since MYM and that update is what killed TF2's love and attention from valve, the main issue was the bots which was like a infection to valve servers where nobody could play officially unless they joined community servers which seem to be not as popular as they were back before MYM came out.
luckily, a person at valve saw the bot issues and dealt with them with a giant bot tsunami that killed every bot and bot account but the game still isn't getting the attention valve was giving it 10-15 years ago, i missed when there was updates that added new weapons, new valve made maps, new lore to the games but now, since the last comic came out after christmas, we're probably not going to get anymore lore to the game 😞
my favourite thing about TF2 was MVM, the gamemode was fun to me as you were killing AI robot and you were working with other players to stop the bots, i feel sorry for it as it hadn't had any new maps or new mechanics to it since 2013 with the two cities update, i know valve has said that didn't know what else to add to MVM but the fans do and i've played some of these fan additions in community servers.
they could of added the blimps like they were going to do that were then replaced with the tanks, they could add a saxton hale boss like the one from that one in vs saxton hale, they could help spy be more useful as he is the worse to use in MVM and so much more, i also wished there was a TF2 map based in the UK as it felt like the UK never was really acknowledged in the lore that well with the only thing was that the mann brothers were originally from the UK before moving to america, i thought they would maybe do a knowledgement of the queen and the royal family but nothing.
anyway, this is my post about TF2, i feel sorry for the game, it like a uncared for patient in a hospital with only one nurse caring for it and i wish it will get the love again but it feels like valve will be forgetting it now since the comic had concluded and it's just a game that gets 3 yearly community updates and no more involvement from valve, so sad 😭
