With WeezyTF2's (a popular TF2 YouTuber) new video talking about SaveTF2 that came out a few days ago. It has reignited the sense of SaveTF2 and that it might happen again. >What is/was #SaveTF2? It was an online movement made by the TF2 community back in 2022 to raise awareness of the neglect from Valve, the developer, regarding the issue of cheaters and bots plaguing the game among other issues that the game has. The original #SaveTF2 movement was quite successful yet it did not achieve its full potential. >What did #SaveTF22 do? #SaveTF2 did many things such as getting the hashtag to be number one on Twitter promoting it everywhere, and signing a petition on change.org. >What is the point of #FixTF2? While #SaveTF2 was impactful in terms of Valve updating the game, there was clearly not enough done to fix the issue as bots and cheaters are still rampant to this day. #FixTF2 is a resurgence of #SaveTF2 and I, alongside much of the TF2 community, hope that it will leave more impact than the original. >Bro TF2 is like 20 years old its dead Many games that are as old if not older than TF2 are still alive. Things like WoW, Runescape, Cs 1,6, Og Cod, Gta 4/5, etc are still popular. If TF2 should be dead because its old, then all the games I just mentioned should also die. >Just move on to something like OW2. Remember the outcry by fans of OW1 when OW2 came out. If die hard fans quit over OW2 and refuse to play, why would TF2 fans do the same? Yes the OW1 servers are shut down and its hopeless but the TF2 servers arent. >Why even bother again? #SaveTF2 failed because the community pussied out right at the end. Many still think what the point is if it will be futile. The answer is that for the past 5-10 years, we have done nothing to try to fix the bot problem. So now, when we are about to give it a shot that may have an impact, yall are like "its not worth it bozo" ? TL;DR: Spread the word about #FixTF2, lets show Valve we are not pussies
when is valve going to make TF3, or left 4 dead 3, or half life 3, or portal 3, or..... (list goes on) anyways I support SaveTF2 if valve isn't going to do anything with the IP other than twiddle their thumbs and have the community do the updates for them. That being said, I don't run into many bots or cheaters except on extremely shit servers already (ex. skial goyslop) or achievement servers. Is this a matchmaking issue? Because i don't play that matchmaking garbage and mostly stick to koggy or the few other community servers i like.
>>2452 theyre just fun. only comptards hate them. nobody took them seriously until uncle trans made that god forsaken video. sure, there was a bind, but it wasnt something people genuinely got angry over until dane started his little hashtag.
>>2465 if u value tf2 content you need help the only reason people even got the incentive to run bots is because tf2 players are the most annoying fucking people in the world
>>2469 does that but allows the literal pedophile server to be connected to lol what a dipshit no significant number of people will ever use this garbage anyway
>>2470 I considered adding context since nobody would be in the know but yeah, there was tf2celeb coverage on the first day but he said it only had 30 people trying it out, it's interesting to see a collaborative programming project unfold I guess He added a rule that you can't leave uncletopiA in the tags to create the justification, the blocklist isn't public but he felt the need to say as much
>>2471 the funny thing is that quickplay was never even good for joining community servers its only real use was picking out a valve server to play on and that's not a thing you can do anymore so this has literally no reason to exist also all its gonna do 90% of the time is place you in a uncletopia server lol
>>2472 It was originally only giving people uncletopia but the feedback cord said this is fascist so he begrudgingly bent the knee and added skial which doomed what he wanted, poor thing juggling the disabled
>>2474 >id say theyre in good company ...No, a talented person like that could be better investing themselves and isn't equal to their midgets, I hope they're having fun with it as a pet project instead of doing it for a moral crusade
