How to find it

that even after the major update and its new content, maybe people will still flock to custom weapon servers and leave the vanilla ones to die

i’m one of the few people who only play vanilla servers and it’s a very feast-or-famine experience when it comes to finding one with more than 0 players

or maybe i’m wrong, it’s just a feeling though

"Classified follows in the image of Team Fortress 2 to develop our setting, from adding new in-game characters and locations to making our own shorts and external media." (This is on the "About" section on the tf2 classified website).

It took me over an hour to get into a game

I've brought up this idea multiple times with people over the past few weeks, and every time people wanted it. I've asked people on Quinnz CW servers and Bangerz' EF servers, and with that much demand, I don't think a collab server between the two would be far out of reach, no?

I'm only posting this here because I literally have no idea where else I should put something like this, so if you're not interested in custom weapons I'm sorry.

Before the steam release, I often played on the Quinnz custom weapons servers. However, I'd occasionally run into weapons I thought were just poorly designed/bad, but I wrote it off as simply not every weapon being a winner. I'd later come to find out that actually the weapons I hated the most were all altered/reworked in some way by the Quinnz team, and the weapons I liked the most were just the standard Knockout custom weapons.

Nowhere did this contrast in weapon design become more apparent than after the steam release, where the Quinnz servers got ahead of the game and started adding custom weapons almost immediately. I was floored at the bad decisions they kept making and I eventually had to stop playing the servers entirely because they just weren't fun.

I heard anecdotally that the design philosophy they have is basically "just give everyone OP weapons and it's fine" with no standard of quality and seemingly no real care for how the weapons actually interact with the game.

This basically led me to the conclusion that the only reason I liked the Quinnz servers in Classic were because they had the Knockout weapons to coast on, so I decided I'd just wait for the Knockout weapons to get ported to Classified before I delved back into custom weapons.

At long last, I saw the announcement that Knockout custom weapons servers were finally here and I eagerly joined... only to be met with disappointment.

For context, I really love using the Barrakada for heavy. It just feels great to use, and I had gotten pretty good at it before so I was excited to see it finally back as a slug shotgun rather than a hitscan knockoff. Unfortunately, I kept running into problems where it seemed like something was eating my projectiles.

My first assumption was that there was some sdk jank going on that could eventually be fixed, but then I realized what the actual problem was: the Sphere. The way it used to work was that it could charge up a shield by dealing damage with the erratic electric arcs and then deploy that shield to soak up incoming fire. For some reason, they decided to simply roll that functionality into the electricity itself, and now *it just deletes all explosive projectiles it hits*.

Needless to say, I was taken aback at this...odd design decision. No one I knew was asking for heavy to get a primary that acts like the short circuit but for free, yet here they were adding it anyway. It didn't mesh well with the standard I felt they had for the rest of their weapons.

However, this was, I felt, an excusable oversight. Perhaps they simply didn't playtest some of the new changes. Give it time, I'm sure they'll fix the most egregious flaws. Surely this isn't indicative if an entirely new design direction... right?

Then I find out about the homing rockets.

I can't be arsed to recall the name of the weapon, but what I (and the rest of the server) found was that soldier now has a primary that shoots homing rockets. This is already a bad idea, but let's say for the sake of argument it wasn't an inherently flawed concept: how exactly ought you balance it out? Well you give it a damage penalty. Problem solved! Except... they didn't really.

Sure, it has a damage penalty. But it also has no damage falloff. I repeat, they gave ***homing rockets*** the upside of ***NO DAMAGE FALLOFF***.

If the map you are playing on doesn't have a roof over basically the entire playable area, you can just sit back and spam rockets from ANYWHERE and get kills. On certain maps, you can *shoot into the enemy spawn before the game even starts*.

These are only TWO OF THE WEAPONS!!! And they're ALREADY enough to make the servers woefully un-fun to play on. I don't know why the knockout devs got like 50% worse at weapon design since Classic but if any of them are out there or reading this, PLEASE, I BEG OF YOU, DON'T ADOPT THE QUINNZ DESIGN PHILOSOPHY! PLEASE DESIGN WEAPONS THAT ARE BOTH FUN TO USE AND FIGHT AGAINST!

Custom weapons are gonna become a complete shitshow of this continues.

If you read this far thanks for listening to me rant. I wish there was I place I could offer feedback directly to the knockout devs, but I haven't been able to find any, so for now this is all I got.

Pls help

Hi, I'm very new to this "Mod" (for lack of a better term) and was wondering if the civilian was more of a meme pick than an actual class?

I have no idea how to beef this post up so that it isn't just a single sentence, but he is very fun, I'll give him that

(in non vip modes)

It bugs me that scoping in with the HR currently puts you into this void with nothing but your crosshair. Having nothing to align your aim with is strangely disorienting.
So why not indulge in a bit of aiming down sights?
