Melee gamemode when?

Played melee with a friend on an empty server, people just join in the fun. All out melee/ability war

Now I really want a Cricket bat Tournament mode

Yeah good luck with that. There are WAY more important things to be implemented let alone a gimmick mode. How would that even be remotely balanced anyway?

Game is on the verge of ded anyway, might as well pump some fun in and become a meme game

Well… no. In order to make that mode fair, you have to make all mercs with same speed or make only one merc available to play this mode. Plus you have to make only one weap for all players. This game is pretty unplayable with ping over 80 ms so you have to add some auto kick for all players with high ping. This is just to hard to make this happen now. As mentioned above there are more important things to do. But maybe one day…

See tf2 ready steady pan

Besides, this post was supposed to be a lighthearted joke, not to be taken seriously and “must be implemented”

Can’t confirm this 100% as I’m not as familiar with TF2 as I used to be but I believe ready steady pan is implemented as a sourcemod plugin, not by the game developers. Something similar for dirty bomb (server side mods on third party servers) would be interesting, hopefully when we do get them some kind of API would be exposed for modders to use.

you’re talking out of your butt because whitelist and tournament mode is available in the base game, not requiring sourcemod

and this thing dated back to 2012, not recently

Talking out of my butt being looking around for 5 minutes or so at what it is then googling the name of the game mode which took me here:

Recent of course is also a bit more tricky to define, I played TF2 from launch until the end of the first wave of weapon replacements (spy update?), haven’t played since then. Steam suggests this was around 2009-2010, so haven’t played from that point. Having not played this ready steady pan thing as I said in my post I was making a guess based on how similar things are implemented in source engine games (gungame in CSS and the likes) but hey, don’t let that stop you from being arsey just because someone posted a constructive comment about how your dumb gamemode might be made a reality.

I played a melee game once. It was unbalanced as hell. Half of people played Phantom. You hardly can compete with Phantom if you have a different melee. Then we started to just shoot every Phantom in the face to force them to play a different merc. It worked. Faster mercs still dominated the game. As long as the mode wouldn’t force you to play one merc, I don’t want a melee mode in this game.
P.S. Fix Kukri range plz.

Base Race or riot!

I’m object to melee mode.
pls imagine who will fight with cricket rhino.
imagine who will fight with katana phantom.
I’m still scary when I imagine that.
