> This is a best attempt at recreating the old in-game Quickplay feature as accurately as possible, and updating it to work in the current times and in browser. It is merely an experimental proof of concept now, but will continue to improve over the coming weeks!

Europe region

Signups: NOW! – June 21st 18:00 CEST Group Stages: June 24th – July 19th Playoffs: July 21st – TBA (Signup Dependant)

The cup will be played over 3 weeks in swiss, with playoffs starting from July 15th and length will be decided once signups are closed. Due to this being a new gamemode and focusing more on the movement mechanics of TF2 rather than DM, we will be hosting swiss as one group.

Australia region

I made this meme a couple of days ago, didn't know there was a tf2 community for lemmy

the reason it looks so low quality already is because the source video came from a gif and proceeded to go though 5 or 6 shitty websites to be turned into this

#FIXTF2 #SAVETF2

Valve I used to trust you as one of the few "good" video companies out there...

Valve, please do something. Fixing the anticheat wouldn't only fix tf2, it would save many other multiplayer games plagued by cheating, including other Valve games like CS and the upcoming Deadlock.

A website that estimates the amount of bots currently logged in to TF2

Magnetic Mayhem is a summer community MvM charity tour featuring 6 intermediate, 9 advanced, and 6 expert missions across 19 maps. Complete the tour to earn up to 2 in-game medals!

Charity: Donate to the National Brain Tumor Society to earn up to 3 donor medals! https://moonlight.tf/charity_instructions https://scrap.tf/fundraiser/PMAR24

I'm interested to see how well organized it is going to be this time.

There are many overlaps between the tf2 and gmod community (such as tf2 related gmod videos), and I think it is relevant enough for me to post it here, especially considering Team Fabolous 2 has parts that was filmed on a mario kart map and that map might get taken down. Remember to archive these stuff that might taken down, they aren't winning this. Fuck Nintendo. I regret buying ToTK from this dumpster fire of a company last year.

(sorry for the somewhat out of place and angry rant I just wrote this out of rage)

Team Fortress 2 doesn't start anymore after the update. I use Comanglia's "Toaster" config together with the launch options -dxlevel 81 -windowed -w 1536 -h 864 -console -novid. Some quick research suggests that setting the dxlevel in the launch options doesn't work in general anymore.

Ozfortress is back with ultiduo with a new whitelist and new maps

Solemn Vow and Disciplinary Action are now allowed.

Maps will be ultiduo_ozf_r, ultiduo_swine_b06, ultiduo_baloo_v2 and ultiduo_champions_b1

You can sign up for Ultiduo 18 from now (Wednesday the 17th of April 2024), up until Wednesday the 1st of May 2024. We aim to have initial seedings out by Friday the 3rd of May at the latest. As always, Ultiduo will be on a Saturday, Saturday the 4th of May 2024.

they are planning to put a max team signup of 40-48 unfortunately

The new 64 bit TF2 update broke a few mods. One of those is the popular mod p-rec that's commonly used by competitive players to record matches.

If you have it, make sure to swap to the in game system as soon as possible so you can avoid losing demos.

was holding last in sixes (yes our demoman was running perma shield) did a quick swap onto sniper after my sentry got destroyed

This is a 6v6 cup made for newbies to learn competitive formats, when you signup you get placed onto a team of other newbies, it even has a prizepool!

Signups look to end 15th of April. This is also based in North America.

Please take note that the winners of each game must report the score on the challengermode site and on discord using the /score command immediately after the game, failure to do so will result in score penalties

All games will be used for rating, the top 6 teams with the highest rating will progress to Invite while the rest will play Open

Invite will be double elimination Open will feature a short swiss qualifier using the existing team ratings into a double elimination playoffs

I often boot up one of those mods just to find out that all servers are empty. Which lead me to create a small website that shows me an overview of all servers and the currently online players so I dont have to start up the game just to check. Thought I might share it with yall: https://servers.ohaa.xyz

CustomLander TF2 is running a 4v4 tournament for 5 different regions (North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia)

!

The tournament has multiple divisions per region, teams are 4 players and can have 2 subs. Signups close 27th of March, the first sets of matches will start the 30th of March. This tournament will also have medals.

Maps are chosen with a pick/ban system from a pool containing: koth_bagel_rc8 koth_jamram_rc1b koth_cornyard_b4 koth_maple_ridge_rc1 koth_cascade koth_badlands cp_warmfrost_rc1

If anyone is interested, I am happy to create a Lemmy.world/c/tf2 team if we have enough people (we can play in which ever region we have the most players for)

Maybe I'm forgetting something, but according to something I read, per week a user can get up to 10 random drops but I've been playing for almost 10 hours and I haven't got even one, why?

Hey everyone, I’m thinking of getting my first unusual and would like some that is all class for around 100 usd. So far my favorite is the starlight sorcerer, what are some multiclass hats (unusual or not) that you prefer? Bonus points for paints and names as well.
