Fix Team Fortress 2
Below are ideas & suggestions of varying priority regarding TF2 game balance with an emphasis on Valve's casual servers. Bing Soy may not necessarily represent the whole TF2 community's will, ideas here are an amalgamation of years of personal TF2 gaming experience and the watching of some TF2 creators to gain more perspective.
This page changes. May restructure, too messy, prioritize importance.
SUGGESTIONS + FIXES MOVED TO STEAM GUIDE
Top priority
Anti-cheat/bot solutions for all servers
- Info: Bot problem review by shounic
- Little Anti-Cheat - an open-source anti-cheat solution for user-hosted/community servers. Saw it in action banning a cheater. Reddit post. Don't know of any other anti-cheats. Could be useful to supplement modding especially if server has enough popularity that someone feels compelled to take time out of their day to cheat in a videogame, ruining others' gaming experience (and especially since VAC keeps getting bypassed again and again).
Top priority 2
Remove random crits (from casual)
Remove random bullet spread (from casual)
Class limits (for casual)
Want a casual experience that have these simple but effective fixes?
Consider:
Uncletopia is a group of servers maintained by Uncle Dane.
With continued dialogue and community solidarity, Uncletopia can grow and serve as the go to place to heal from Valve casual.
Uncletopia could end up hosting a sizable chunk of the TF2 playerbase eventually, if Valve continues to neglect TF2.
This is the power of one person and his friends.
Bing Soy is very grateful for the opportunity to play vanilla casual TF2 instead of no-crit deathmatch Hightower servers years on end, after he quit casual.
