Things that STILL bug me about TF2
« on: January 10, 2015, 07:11:01 pm »
1. "(Voice) Lester Roquefort: MEDIC!"

Medic's never pay attention to the chat when they're healing. Even if you're hearing impared, you'd pay attention to the floating icons. All the good this does is spamming chat in ANY case.

2. Everything is made of metal, or crafted with metal to upgrade it, and broken down, makes metal scraps.

Yes, it's a game, i know. But sandwiches are not made of metal. Sans the robo one, of course... but we can't all craft that, can we? Soldiers "dong" launcher is made with pure metal, all new guns include a weapon and metal.

3. Demoman meelee items are STILL drinkable.

Demonman drinks liquor out of a torn out railroad sign... There's no exuse for this anymore Volvo... come on now.

4. Pyro STILL being genderless.

I actually subscribe to the fact that Pyro actually is scientifically genderless. I belive Pyro is some sort of bioengineered human, re-purposed for war. And likely has the advantages from both genders... tactically.  That means, i belive Pyro doesn't have a reproductive system of any sort, nor "mammaries" therein.

"But pyro is all giddy and feminine!"

Drugs, brah. How else do you make sure a killing machine doesn't go crazy and kill EVERYTHING. Drug it and brainwash it to a point where it thinks it's living in an entirely different realm with a different set of rules.

What else could it be?

5. The Story

Yeah, i've read the lore. Blu and Red are fighting over gravel and are hired to do so by two old fogeys.

"Because they just are" isn't a good story, in my books. That's just me though.

It got a little better when Grey Mann came in and killed the two, but it's still pointless. He's ending a war over gravel and ending a company with Chuck Norris as CEO. I'm sorry, i'm just missing the charm here, i guess.

We originally removed all voice lines from chat, including the medic call a few years back. We had medic players complain about it so we brought it back shortly after.

Fun fact: Valve doesn't want to maintain TF2 and most features are tacked on garbage.

I feel like some players don't realize it notifies nearby Medics, but instead they spam it when at low health, whether the team has a Med or not.

Those that spam the medic call just make themselves that much easier to kill. Once is enough.

Call too much and someone on the other team will notice and put you out of your misery.

I've also noticed that people will put Medic spammers in danger somtimes. Also, that some Medics flat out refuse to heal them.
