Here's to another great year!
Happy b-day tf2 w00t!

 

[Omniblast]

How old is TF2 now? I thought this was suppose to celebrate TF? the Original?

Wasn't TF2 released in Oct or Nov?

 

[sniperwolf1215]

This was to celebrate Tfc HAPPY BIRTHDAY TF!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rellik]

it annoys me a bunch and makes going on the bridge in 2fort basically impossible. i hate it. its funny and stuff for about 2 minutes. but after that i want to die.

 

[PeterGriffin]

yeah they can get in the way when in a tight spot and there is a massacre

 

[s3rv0]

Yeah, it's cute for about 2 seconds. Then I realize that it makes my framerate drop like a stone, not to mention all the balloons really get in the way for sniping or just in tight spots and/or large firefights. I just quit playing TF2 because I was sick of playing at 15 FPS with all the annoyances of balloons and confetti being in the way.

This is why we don't do melee only servers and stuff like that: cutesy gimmicks are fun for ten seconds, then just annoy people and then they leave. That's not what puts our servers in the top 10 consistently, so it upsets me that Valve would go and do something like this. Asinine.

Valve has the killswitch, they are making it abundantly clear that "the base r belong 2 valve" .. btw happy bday tfc.

It's just for the bday, it will be gone soon, don't trip !

 

[DuckDastardly]

Just to clear something up, this wasnt TFC's bday yesterday. It was QWTF, the original QuakeWorld Team Fortress was released as a mod on August 24th many many years ago. Also be prepared for this again on Decmber 22nd, as that was the date that QWTF was released as a standalone product and not just a mod anymore. TFC was just another version of QWTF but on Valve's Half Life 1 engine.

And sorry guys but again nothing we could do about it. I dont like the fact Valve turned it on with no way of shutting it down, but what are we to do? Either deal with it, or just dont play for the day and a half they had it on.(that is hoping that it is off right now).

 

[Rellik]

yeah to reiterate: i hate it. but i LOVE TF (THE ORIGINAL!!!!!!!!!!) so i'll deal with it.

 

[BlindCow]

I am surprised that everyone is so up in arms about a little confetti and balloons.
It's just for fun on a game we play for fun. Take deep breaths folks and just enjoy the game.

I wouldn't mind if it didn't destroy my framerate. I go from 50 to 15 when party mode is on, it's terrible, and I don't know why.

 

[BillToWin]

On free weekends party mod is put on all servers automatically.
