TF2 is fucking dead

I tried booting up the game today. Tried connecting to casual servers a total of 20 times, every single one of them had a script kiddie crash the server.

Valve and the TFteam should be ashamed, even the worst game devs in the world know when to admit they fucked up.

More than half the games I got into last night had hackers.

Let me guess. You were the "scrip kiddie"? Did I solve it?

I know what that's like, there are some fun matches to be had if you keep trying but unfortunately this game is neglected and the only thing keeping it alive is the cancer that killed it in the first place

TF2 is something that's gotten me through some of the worst times in my life with some basic fun. I wouldn't want to take that fun away from somebody else

I have not played in 5 years i have returned last week was having fun but last 2 days there were so many lag bots its unbelivable.

I've seen this happen 4 or 5 times today.
Hopefully Valve does fucking anything regarding TF2 in the near future.

Even if they do absolutely nothing, they should at least say anything. Right now the communication policy is absolutely stupid.

>[VALVE]Niggerkiller has joined the game

It's one guys army of cheating bots. He has been doing this for MONTHS on EU servers but it just started on NA servers a few days ago.

Now when you try to kick the bot, it crashes the entire server. The bot is always named [VALVE]Niggerkiller. If you see it join, you may as well leave since the server is essentially dead.

how does he get away with this? and what does he do that crashes the server?

>playing casual the moment it birthed.
fucking bozo dumbass, luckily for you crybabies theres these vanilla community creators tf2 servers now

probably sends corrupt packets and it crashes from that exploit the same way it always has.

basic DDos. big script sends too many packets at once. CSGO had this exploit fixed in 2016, but nothing for TF2.

I can't even run Tf2. My frames will drop to 50-60 in the middle of a fight.

That's funny. Just looked today and there were a grand total of 12 players over 3 servers who were playing an official TF2 map that wasn't ctf or Hightower.

unironically this, the death of TF2 isn't hacker fags, it's the fact that apparently creating a server is a lost art. Despite the fact that we HAD to do that in the 1990s and mid 2000's, it somehow became a lost art.

I'm guessing it's a DDoS. See top right, the server starts lagging lik crazy then it just shuts down. These bots seem to be on every fucking casual server.

Reminder:
The reason why these fags aren't hardware banned is because the "community moderators" are actual dogshit.
Who literally make "deals" with these hackers to let them play and HOPE they won't do it again, and surprise! They do it again immediately after being unbanned

completely wrong
its because valve or VAC don't issue hardware bans, only account ones
they SHOULD do hardware bans though

wrong again, they CAN issue hardware bans, but only do it if you commit tax fraud
I.E changing your state/IP to reflect a different state/country to get better prices/taxes

i've never heard of them doing that, i thought they didn't care about things like that

because nobody knows how to get a vpn to avoid ip bans or know how to change around their system files to escape a hardware ban, they say, while on Yas Forums

Team Fortress 2?
More like Bot Fortress 2

sad that these later figures turned out to be actual shit in quality

hardware bans are easily avoidable

I played a few hours last night and didn't play against a single bot.

So why does this person with cheating bots ruin TF2 games for? What does he gain from this?

Just sadism. That's all.

everyone plays fortnite now user

two possible things, one two, some sort of retarded way to protest the state that tf2's in by pissing everyone off so valve gets off their asses for two seconds to look at tf2's state
or a secret third option, get people to play community servers again

I do it because Casual is unenjoyable trash and so no one should play it. Not my fault Valve killed community servers with Quickplay first and then Casual later dealt the finishing blow.

destruction is it's own reward
yeah fags are like that

Valve doesn't seem to care about tf2 anymore, maybe they are letting these bots run rampant to try and kill the game

>people stop playing tf2
>people stop buying keys or crates or whatever the fuck people buy in tf2 anymore
>implying valve will let that second part happen
as soon as they see a dip in how much money they're making in tf2, they'll stop it
why do you think the crate depression was stopped in less than a day?

kino

user, its 13 years old.

i'd play on community servers if it wasn't just 2fort, Hightower, or MinecraftPonyTradingPlaza.

My son is thirteen years old but I still apologize when he takes a shit in his backpack and throws it at a girl's head while calling for the extermination of lesser races

ay yes #120 I also enjoy playing 2Fort 24/7

Kill yourself, even if just larping

I have never seen any script kiddies or hackers in about 6 months

900 unique players a day. It counts the ones who booted it for 30 seconds and closed it. (me)
games dead.

If you ask Valve, there's 80 thousand players who are all playing the game actively every day and are enjoying every second of it :)

This. Even tough game is big (and even growing), Valve have neglected TF2 just because. Altough maybe they will at least put a Trust anti-cheats, like in CSGO.
Play servers that arent 24/7 same map. Creator.tf are a big example.

don't try to have some kind of moral highground when you're ruining other people's fun. not liking what other people like is no excuse to go fucking it up for everyone because you think your way of having fun is the only way. just admit you're 13 years old and think it's epic and cool.

shit, on one hand he's fuckiing up the game but on the other hand his name is niggerkiller
Yas Forumsros is he based or cringe.....?

How can you say TF2 is dead when big name TF2 players release a YouTube video and get 2m+ views in a week.

Why doesnt Valve fire this guy?

I use an fov because fuck you that was a head shot.

is dead as in the developers don't want to fucking update it

Looks like the bots are online now. Seven servers in a row with Niggerkiller in them.

user, you must be new. They are trolling tards, who spam "TF2 is dead", or "there are only 6k players in the game" ad infinitum. I still hate them, because they astroturf what they post, even tough its false.
