yeah ik :/
it'll probably be implemented later, i'm sure... although tbh it doesnt make much of a difference since valve clearly doesn't want to put class restrictions on 6v6 lol

So, regarding this:
We do not know what the effect will be in overall server population changes because of this as of yet. I highly doubt they would remove the option to join community servers. Hopefully, it funnels more people who want a *slightly* more casual experience than this into community servers
QUICKPLAY GETS AN UPGRADE
Matchmaking is also changing the way TF2 can be played casually. Now, instead of jumping randomly into an in-progress game, you'll be matched into an unranked 12v12 game with players of similar skill. This means no more auto-balancing?you'll be playing a match from start to finish, with actual winners and actual losers.
We've also introduced a leveling stat: the more you play, the more you level up, and you can accelerate your leveling by earning points in-game. Have friends? Play on the same team every time simply by inviting them to your party.

I dislike the fact that the 6s is how it is. Makes me feel like if they DO implement a 9v9 it'll be the same thing, just with 3 more people. I like highlander because you get to use all of the classes strengths and weaknesses. Oh well, we'll see.
I was thinking the same thing. It might make it hard to gain new pubs.

I'm going to be finding out as much as I can about this. I have to believe that they will differentiate between community servers, showing people that they have an option if they choose.
Also note this is DAY 1 of the update, as with larger updates they spread the news out over 2 days, with tomorrows info being new taunts, balance changes, any other stuff. new weapons gaben plz
What I can say with almost certainty is that the status-quo for TF2 is changing tomorrow.

Anything Valve implements that takes a player and drops them into a server with a random group of trolls, foul-mouthed kids with uninvolved parents, team berating poo poo heads, mic spammers, and hackers, will always create a demographic of players looking for something more. eGO is something more to the power of awesome dipped in chocolate with sprinkles. We will continue to win the internets unless Valve completely removes the ability to join a server of your choice and that would be bananas ( B A N A N A S ).

"Now I just can't wait for tomorrow's massive list of rebalances that will tie this all together." -b4nny
I SWEAR if they go anywhere near the dead ringer and screw me over again I will quit life.
The dead ringer is fine
The watches are fine
So are the sappers
And the knives (THE KUNAI IS GOOD DON'T TOUCH IT VALVE)
The revolvers are fine (Don't screw up the Amby like you did with the Degreaser)
(Also just get rid of the diamondback nobody uses it)
(THE L'ETRANGER IS GOOD DON'T TOUCH IT VALVE)
Also:
Get rid of the Black Box and Beggars Bazooka
Get rid of or severely nerf the phlog
Nerf demoknights even more lel
Get rid of the Sydney Sleeper + Darwin's Danger Shield
Get rid of the Classic
Get rid of the Force a Nature
Get rid of the Soda Popper
Get rid of Scouts in general
Get rid of Heavies in general
There, that isn't too one-sided is it?
I'm serious about the spy stuff though. Seriously Valve, nothing's wrong with it.
