ïmo the wrangler tactic is something that could really bring something new to the game; an offensive engineer, if you will. The time it may take to swap the Engie back to whatever he was before after you've defended last may already make a difference. Imagine if you can just pack up your gear and attack cp2 with it? :D
Yeah, I was experimenting with this on pixelpug. But some dipshit decided to ban the wrangler.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=12631&post=217542 Fri, 10 Sep 2010 15:22:14 +0200 Reply by waebi https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-12631/page-14/?recent=217629#post=217540 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=12631&post=217540 Fri, 10 Sep 2010 15:20:27 +0200 Reply by r7an https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-12631/page-14/?recent=217629#post=217538 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=12631&post=217538 Fri, 10 Sep 2010 15:10:48 +0200 Reply by UPS https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-12631/page-14/?recent=217629#post=217537 Quoted from Memento Mori

wasters argument is retarded, in css he is allowed to use anything he wants to, he chooses not to. In TF2 he is forced to use certain weapons and in a certain setup, because 1 person decided that was 'FUN' . At least in CSS he has a choice

[...] That is exactly the kind of attitude that causes a community to fail. Disgusting. ShopTO tournament comes to mind.
The organizer of this tournaments fails because they are not interesting enough for the lower teams. How to make it interesting? same skilllevel, prizes or money Etf2l got the first one right and look we have 300+ teams here.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=12631&post=217283 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 21:11:53 +0200 Reply by Fluffy Meowington https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-12631/page-13/?recent=217629#post=217274 Quoted from kaidus
shopTO failed becuase it was run by a bunch of clueless idiots who enforced retarded rules that didn't adhere to anything the community is used to. It's no surprise no one gave a shit about it, really.
There is no doubt it was run highly unprofessionally, but the turn-up was ridiculous.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=12631&post=217274 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 21:07:30 +0200 Reply by kaidus https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-12631/page-13/?recent=217629#post=217271 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=12631&post=217271 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 21:06:47 +0200 Reply by Fluffy Meowington https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-12631/page-13/?recent=217629#post=217255 wrong. Quoted from kuma
Just look at any top competitive game, be it Starcraft, CS, Quake or whatever, and there are no artificial restrictions at all.
The difference being that they don't suck sweaty, unwashed penis. Quoted from kuma
[...] Yeah I'm one of them. But there are more of them than there are of us.
This doesn't matter at all. This is the forum of a competitive league. Quoted from kuma
Most successful comp games keep the format of pub play fairly similar to that of the comp side. See BW/SC2, Dota/Hon, Quake duels, etc. Even CS keeps the weapons used between pub and comp the same.
BW/SC2: Blizzard game, balance will be attained eventually, unless they start updating the game every few months. Dota/Hon: Banning Pick. Quake duels: The game, and that mode in particular, is from a time when competition in videogames was standard, when people still played games to beat their friends and improve, not to unlock achievements. CS: There are 2 categories of weapons in CS- sucks balls, and doesn't suck balls; if most/all class-update-weapons in TF2 were quite clearly worse than their vanilla counterpart we wouldn't have this conversation. Comparing apples and oranges is fun. Quoted from Tikcus
also never heard a CSS or COD player complaining about flash bang or stun grenades
Holy fuck, lol. Anyway, all this talk about weapons and classes doesn't -at heart- really matter at all tbh. TF2 had issues for 2+ years that should've been addressed shortly after release, but valve can't/won't even playtest weapons before implementing them, so don't hold your breath. Quoted from InFlam0r
About the 40/64 teams of the esh cup, what is the point for joining as a div 6.5.4 team? Everybody knows that either dig, tcm or eps will get the 500pounds
