    I think what TF2 has going for it is that it's team-based. Your team, no matter how bad, will always be able to give a learning player the space they need to learn. I don't think TF2 is all that hard to learn because of it, as opposed to SSBM's more elitist play-style. Great video, I'm glad there are others out there who cherish F2Ps as much as I do.

      For not supporting the game any other way than being there? It doesn't even cost much to 'get rid of' f2p status. Understandable if you have no debit or credit card and parents don't want to use theirs, but otherwise not really. Valve might not really need that little bit of money, but imo it's a bit rude to not give anything at all back if you actually enjoy the game. It's worth your time to sink hundreds of hours, but not worth it to give a little bit back?

    The community is what makes the game fun for new players. The youtube tutorials, the SFMs, even the team videos are what got me into tf2. When i first installed tf2, i played the tutorial and a match with bots *not sniper bots*. It was fun seeing that whenever i pressed e , a medic would instantly come and heal me. Seeing all the bots taunt at when i i look towards them before that match started was really fun. I had a lot of fun playing with bots. I knew exactly what every class' role was because i had seen a lot of videos and tf2 meme compelations on youtube.Then the next day, i joined casual. I spammed e, nothing happened, i tried the voice commands, nothing happened, i tried the text chat, nothing happened, the only thing that happened was text saying *Voice communication is not available for this account*. I loved the voice lines that the characters said, but the fact that i wasn't able to use these voice lines made me angry. I quickly searched on youtube why i wasnt able to talk and then saw that its not just me. Every f2p in tf2 cannot talk. So, i joined ckmmunity servers. Mainly, UGC servers. The 2fort and the hightower without carts ones. It was amazing seeing the community communicate with each other and me being a part of it. I tried uncletopia servers but i cant join any one becauee they are all too far from where i live and i will be instantly kicked by the server because of the high ping (i live in india and the only casual servers i can join are in singapore as no one in india really e
    even knows about tf2. Ive never met a person irl who knows about tf2). I decided to give casual a second chance and it worked. I realised that i have to keep playing and improving myself even without communication. Aand then i saw the actual casual server bots and was like wow! They have REALLY good aim! Untill i realised they were kicking him because of being a cheater. The bot problem is getting out of hand. One time, i finally decided to improve at being sniper. I played sniper, knowing im bad at it. And someone using voice communication told the entire team that i was a bot. He probably saw f2p in my name and the fact that i was a sniper and instantly voted to kick me. And i could do nothing, i couldnt even say that im not a bot. Its been almost 3 months since i have installed tf2 and im still playing as a f2p and i enjoy it. When im too fed up of not being able to talk, i join skial servers and have fun there. I even joined jumpacademy and learned how to rocket jump. Buut... i deleted my the original because of inventory space. Aand then i found an exploit which lets us have 2 or more items stacked into one item slot and still be useable. So now i have 67 items in an inventory space of 50. I found about this after i had already deleted my original, bison, the mercenary badge, AND THE HOLY MACKEREL. I want to have the bison just for the reasin that theres a pretty cool mod that changes how it looks and the original for rocket jumping and the mackerel for [H A H A . F U N I . P H I S H]. I love tf2 and will keep playing it f2p or not. Everyone thinks im a noob because im a free to play but no, not all people who dont wear hats are noobs. Dont judge a player by its hats.

    One of the first matches I played was this absolutely insane game of turbine. Both teams were very evenly matched and had really good players, and it was a complete onslaught in that one bottom section that leads into the Intel. It lasted like several hours and somehow we kept managing to repel their super coordinated attacks and uber pushes just enough for them to have to regroup. I forgot how it ended, but 12 year old me was so immersed in turtling that match that TF2 went from just some game I played every now and then to an autistic obsession that lasted like 3 years lol.

    • @spugelo359
      @spugelo359 Год назад +4

      Well... didn't take long to notice that there are some classes that are good for newbies that think themselves a smart guy. AKA spy, engineer and medic. Don't need to have good aim to do well. Spy worked out quite well for me since the very beginning and has been my favorite class from the very beginning to until now. Sneaking around and fooling enemies into thinking you're their team mate is truly rewarding... and biggest reward of them all, turning entire enemy team paranoid to the point they all smack each other to make sure I'm not one of them and constantly look behind and around corners. I've seen this cause players to die to my team mates unnecessarily since they didn't pay proper attention to what is in front of them.
      Engineer is fun too, but how you do things and where you do things is very important. Too open spot and your sentry just gets blasted, too covered and it doesn't get anything done. Having all 3 at right spot is vital to supporting the team. They don't all have to be right next to each other. Dispenser only has to be close enough so you can repair it and grab more metal between each smack. Teleporter can be even further away, just have to make sure it's a safe spot. And not too far so you can rescue it from a spy.
      And medic isn't as simple as it first looks. It's very important to know how to use cover properly and move to stay alive, who to heal and when, when to activate UB and on whom. Cover the back of your buddy by watching out for spies and other annoying stuff. Help in combat if necessary, you have ranged weapons and a melee weapon for a reason.
      And then there's heavy and pyro... very newbie friendly in a way. You'll have better chance of killing something with those 2 as long as you don't go full pepe. But solider, demoman, scout and sniper. Those are the truly skill based classes. Pyro and spy have very high skill ceiling too, but far less of it is required to get started.

      Aim takes practice, and movement takes knowing the map you're playing on. As long as you play a lot of fps video games, aim shouldn't be a problem if you're new. The maps you'll have to experience yourself, nobody can really help you there if I'm honest. I'd recommend playing just one map alone for an entire week and learning all the different spots for sentry placement, or escape spots for spies, ambush positions for pyro, or where to stand if you're a sniper.

    I remember my first game of tf2 being bad.

It was a lot of fun then! Eventually I found out what community servers were and I found myself to be a regular in a trade server with a weird castle map. It was like a tiny community with regulars coming back in that server. I miss it still, the server was removed from my favorites list and i never found it again. A good chunk of my hours were spent in that server or this one skyhigh resort 24/7 VSH server or in a x10 randomizer 2fort server.

    Currently I'm really bad at TF2 but I've got 115 hours.
    I think from my perspective, what helped a lot was playing offline only for like the first 30-40 hours. That can honestly be a godsend for new players, not stressing about whether or not people are gonna be upset with you for being bad and trash talking you over getting lost, not understanding what's going on, etc. There aren't any sweats or jerks and you can just focus on learning the mechanics.
    Now I play almost exclusively on community servers- no bots (with a few occasional exceptions but I've only seen 3 bots in hundreds or maybe thousands of times I've played)
    The main reason I still love TF2 even though my K:D is usually in the toilet is because I'm just so invested in the characters and universe, it's always fun to just immerse myself in it that way.
    But another huge factor is watching myself improve and finally learning new skills. It's so satisfying when people would help me learn and show me what to do, and it finally fell into place. The first time I got a kill, the first time I killed a whole bunch of enemies at once, the first time I had more kills than deaths in a match, the first time I got on the top 3 players at the end... It's so exciting to watch myself grow in that way

    My first game, i instantly bought kazotsky kick from the mannco store so i wasnt technically a f2p, but i found it really fun because everyone in the 2fort lobby i joined was actually really nice and helped me and let me kill them to get the gibus and pyro vision goggles :)

    My first match was weird for me… it was 2 fort and I picked heavy, I didn’t know how to change class so I stuck with him. Of course 2 fort is 2 fort and there were a bunch of engies at intel but these guys on voice chat were rooting for me to capture the intel. I got the intel and me and the guys helped me get there. It was lots of fun and really told me that I probably wasn’t gonna drop this game anytime soon.

    I remember my first time playing tf2. I had a hard time loading into, and running, the normal maps. I joined a server that had mario kart 2, which was way easier on my computer at the time. It was quite popular and people were always goofing around. I remember one time I was jumping as medic with the crossbow along the track and accidentally killed an invisible spy. The guy I killed said "ohhhh you lucky fucker" and I can still hear his voice so vividly till this day. Hope he's doing well :)

    The other thing about bad or new players is that they have the potential to COUNTER seasoned veterans! A veteran expects you to strafe and to make tactical decisions. What will a newbie do? Throw themselves forward and forget that the A and D keys exist. A new player's sporadic behaviour makes them excellent on offense. Let them throw the enemy off by diving head-first into danger, and immediately follow up with a push from the more experienced players while the enemy is still regaining their balance. Additionally, on classes that don't need incredible aim, such as Pyro, they can actually be incredible Ubercharge targets. A veteran is used to strafing and caution, and subconsciously do that during an uber... but new players? And unskilled players? They like to walk forwards. They like to walk forwards and fire their weapons at enemies indiscriminately. They like to walk forward and throw caution to the wind. This makes them excel at getting the best use out of Ubercharge. Sometimes, that F2P Pyro can be a better Ubercharge target than the Soldier on a killstreak you've been following this entire time.
    Even the hatless Pyro in the corner there who your team has neglected is easily capable of getting four or five kills with a single uber push, all you have to do is let them, give them that little boost they need. While they may not have a good sense of positioning, boy are they good at dashing at enemies and getting frags.
    Oh, and another thing, new players will stick to the objective like glue. This makes them even better on offense because, while a lot of people may hesitate to push the defended payload, the new player will charge forward and touch it, resetting the move back timer and giving the team more time to think. And those new players? A team of them is incredibly hard to get off the payload if you're lacking a skilled Soldier, Demoman or Engineer, and even those can fall flat if there's a Pyro who's good at Airblast in the mix. And that stickyspamming demo? Why not give 'em a Kritz charge? Crit stickies are terrifying, and if they know how to aim and hit... hoooooh boy, there's no better way to tear the entire enemy team apart. Oh, and that spy who keeps getting caught before he can make a play? The enemy team may get distracted by the callout and chase on the obvious spy. Use this moment of disorientation to act, it'll be a nice opening to push forward a little. Especially if they (unintentionally) baited the enemy Engie into wrangling their gun.
    I guess what I'm trying to say is, not only are new players great for the game for the reasons you listed, they're also important in gameplay as well.

    Man, I remember my first time playing this game.
    If I remember right it was good old 2Fort, I remember messing around as a Medic, clueless about the existance of a medigun, playing battle medic before I even knew what that was. I wasn't initially having fun at all, no no no, I was getting stomped, opposing team had a _really_ vocal and toxic player who really for some reason hated playing _against_ a bad player. After couple minutes round ended and I closed the game only to get a steam message from one of the players from that round who offered me to play with him.
    We went on some community servers, mostly empty minecraft trade ones, he helped me learn basics of the classes, helped me find the jump academy server to practice rocket and sticky jumping, helped me figure out how trading worked and generally was a good friend to have.
    And by the time Jungle Inferno rolled out I started playing on my own and the guy moved off to do his own things, different games, life, who knows.
    Now I'm nearing 3k hours spent in this game that I wouldn't of spent playing this game if not for a random player spending significant amount of time helping me get into this game and easing me in.

    I remember my first TF2 experience like the back of my hand, I had some friends get me into it in 2014 and they brought me to an achievement server and got me all the classic free-to-play items (gibus, pyro vision, etc.) and told me they where the coolest hats in the game. Looking back I'm glad they gave me the true new player expirence, even if it was just them fucking with me, I wouldnt give up that memory for the world.

  • @shiverse9868
    @shiverse9868 Год назад +2

    A really big deal that I try to always help is making sure to ALWAYS tell your team over comms if a new player picked sniper, and to not kick them thinking that they're a bot. I think that could be one of the worst turn offs from the game if I were to start playing nowadays rather than a decade ago, so I always make sure to say something, and I hope you all will too!

    As a TF2 player with 2.5k hrs who has been playing for 4 years, I love playing with new players. Teaching new players, showing off TF2's rich culture of toxcicity(the thing that has held my interest and helped me continue the grind of casual), partying up with some dumb noob with 20 hrs and just trolling are such fun and chill changes of pace that help hand off the torch of the Casual Mindset to noobs.
