Abusing TF2's most BROKEN map
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 ноя 2024
- I've said for years that Uber Upgrades would be a super fun alternative gamemode in casual TF2. And this year we got our wish! Well, almost anyway, since the balance is still a bit iffy. I'm sure it'll be fixed, but in the mean time, let's abuse the crap out of Freaky Fair's broken upgrades! Normally the concept of Vaccinator stacking makes me shrivel up and die inside, but this time around it was too fun not to show off. (And yes, I know this video is several weeks late, but I've been sick and tired so it's done when it's done)

"Why upload this on your side channel instead of your main?" The direction my main channel is heading is beginning to warrant higher and higher quality per video which I don't think lesser-edited videos like this uphold very well. While there's definitely an audience for this sort of thing, most people on Great Blue are there for the maps with friends and "What if?" videos, and I want (most of) the uploads on there to have time put into them rather than being unfiltered 2+ hour discussions or gameplay videos like this one. There's still plenty of quicker stuff I enjoy making, though, so Blue's Roost is my compromise so that I can continue to make these "auxiliary" videos without compromising my quality and tanking my metrics on Great Blue. Who knows - if videos on this channel become popular, maybe I'll consider putting some more time into them and moving them back over. (Plus, should I ever decide to move my main channel away from TF2, I'll still want somewhere established to talk about TF2 stuff since I can't imagine myself ever completely leaving this game.)
Yeah this map is something, but it did bring a memory back for me.
I remember a player named "The Stunner" on this map exploiting the Thruster stun; to say that they pissed off the enemy team into hardcountering them would be an understatement.
I think honestly that's the least tryhardy playstyle, compared to mach 3 deadringer spy over there, or invincible demoknight, or ubered phlog pyromedic pair
In a way, the Stunner is simply just a hard counter to these unfun strats without being too imposing of a killer to the rest of the enemy team
We shall remember the stunner for stunning the tryhards🫡
@@this...isabucket.6665remember:
the thermal thruster has tech which lets the jump before the launch go higher
press space and immediately left/right click
or just use a chargejump bind, but it's not max height to use chargejump
hey man thanks for uploading this AFTER halloween
they KNEW what they were doing
TF2 with Overwatch balancing
PERMASTUN IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS!!!
Me when I'm stupid ☝️
Old Sandman was balanced

This map is such a cool idea with horrendous execution
- The upgrades are unbalanced as hell and makes it really easy to do BS Strategies, which I get is part of the point but its a little ridiculous.
- The spawns are so easy to spawn camp since there are only 2 exits right next to the final point, and the fact the upgrade station is RIGHT NEXT to the main door is even worse since either you can get killed while getting upgrades, or worse, open the door and make it easier to spawn camp. The spawns need to have more exits and be better designed.
- The map is way to choke point heavy and linear for a map with this many dumbass strats. I needed to be more open and have more routes.
- This should have been King of the Hill with an extended Timer instead of 3CP. It would keep the action more towards the center and away from the spawns, so even if spawn camping happens it wouldn't be nearly as problematic as it is now. Further more, because of how much time they do give compared to how fast matches can end theoretically, spawn camping becomes even worse because players will refuse to cap and just focus on farming kills to get more money, and the enemy team can do nothing.
- This is more personal preference, but for a map called freaky fair it's a really boring map that doesn't play into it's theme very well. So many other circus themed maps such as Laughter did the fair thing way better.
I really want to see this concept done again, because it is really cool for an alternative game mode, but this was very much a poor first draft that needed more time in the oven.
Playing this in 100 player mode drives me god damn insane
I liked maxing out Burn duration on Pyro for max psychological damage
Nah you need sniper with the bow to give people B L E E D
@@tvz_luigi3233 you cant talk about bleed without talking about the enforcer, thats illegal
syringe gun, i am really good with it and mms lets you teamsupport
hol up
combine mms with this uberbug
I love when Heavy says his iconic line "Yes, heavy is awesomesauce"
Nothing was more miserable then trying to play engineer when there was a light speed spy main on the enemy team
But then you could infinity hp your sentry xd
@@justchill4886The red-tape recorder cares not for hp..
I remember constantly backstabbing a whole team with like 3 engineers for like an hour straight. I wonder if you were one of them, or if this was more common than I thought..
@@yeedog6145 I was the only engineer, and the spy started to feel bad for the bullying I was getting
@@flying_luigi9088 I swear I remember something like that. But that’s probably just my imagination. If the spy was wearing a pumpkin mask or a fedora + mustache hat, it was probably me.
The most broken updates are the stun related ones. Rocket Specialist and Mad Milk/Jarate slow on hit slow you down to ridiculous levels, making movement impossible for any class. They went so far as to disable shield charges for Demoknight when stunned by those methods.
The stun you get with the thermal truster upgrade is also ridiculous
@@conducter6381combine that with jump+mouse1/mouse2 and it is great for mobility too
I'm so sad this isn't available year round dude
Good.
No one would play that trash without the novelty of being around only a few weeks
@@maskofthedragon youre on the channel of a youtuber who made a bunch of videos about tf2 x10 and rtd i think a lot of people would play it if it was balanced like 2% more than its current state
just add spawn prot sentries
Uber canteens being like 15 seconds are also insanely unbalanced. Dont know the exact duration but it's basically an auto loss for anyone because even if they cant kill you, they could walk all the way back to their spawn from basically anywhere
didn't do this on the 100 player server smh my head
That means we should do it and watch the server crash in a minute
This map is broken in more ways than one. Every time I played on it, the upgrade station didn't work for anyone so it just became a normal match
A strat I did on this map after I was done with contracts was go phlog Pyro, put a lot of points towards towards damage and a bit for scotch shot afterburn to get more meter and invest in Uber canteens. Then I'd taunt and pop a canteen and was invincible as I walked towards their spawn, meter refilled in a no time at all due to damage increased and repeat :)
Can't wait for the inevitable duels between gods as both teams realize how this works
Just the normal resistances the mode lets you buy were enough to make me go enforcer gunspy and actually out-DM scouts despite missing 80% of my shots and it *worked*, having to fight vaccinator in freaky fair would make me try to replace every gun on every other class with the enforcer because it would be better than the stickybomb launcher in the vaccinator meta
I'm fairly certain the actual maker had to spend a lot of time bug fixing. The idea in general is a balancing nightmare. I do remember the discussions with them in Potato discord. I don't envy them. I hate handling upgrade files.
The best part is that nobody on the enemy team thought to buy resistances.
I pissed off a half a server because I used the Gaspasser upgrade with pholg. I was testing if MVM metas and dumb gimmicks would be viable on this map. I deleted an entire control point. My favorite was my Brass beast loadout with movement speed buffs.
Brass Beast with movement speed buffs sounds hilarious
Some other annoying loadouts I've found:
Gunslinger + frontier justice + disposable sentry - You can shut down entire areas with little to no downside. Like even if someone destroys one of them there's several others to finish them off, and you can easily replace the one that got destroyed.
Bleed lucksman - Guys laugh it's bleed give me karma
Uber potion phlog - self explanitory. Build phlog with the most annoying strategies and then MELT the enemy team while invincible.
Pumpkin buster spawncamping - idk how bad this is in vanilla freaky fair, but in 100 player it's commonplace to die immediately after respawn because some cloak & dagger spy snuck into spawn
I like freaky fair because the strange filter makes my weapons freaky
Most enjoyable experience vs the vaccinator
It immunizes against fun
My favorite way to play on the map was just to max out run speed/resistances/melee swing speed/health on kill and run around as the immortal Fish Scout
It was so much fun to facetank a Heavy minigun and Fish Kill them
Unbalanced? Yes. Chaotic? Yes. Fun? Yes.
Basically, TF2 turned into a gamemode
just add tfc spawn prot sentries
6:01 It is tragic(But also funny) to see that video has permanently affected the lingo of TF2 community lol.
Weapon reskins cause me intense pain for 8 seconds
@@talosine2963Weapon reskins have been a strange case to me for 8 seconds
well I think its pretty fun for a casual map, it only gets annoying when you get people abusing the shit out of it which they usually dont
In all the games I've played freaky fair, there wasn't a single one where someone didn't do a infinite credit exploit. Really sucked.
2:10 God bless America! (dead Trump in the killfeed)
Have you ever considered this type of thing is why he won?
Deadlock map looking good
I'm surprised this wasn't on your main channel, but I understand that you want to keep live commentary separate, and it's only because this is a recent change that I'm not used to it yet. If it lets you show off more shenanigans with friends, I'm all for it.
I stalemated every match I played as engi... the building health upgrade health reset is very strong, and I didn't even need to be at my gun
The enforcer would finally have a use in pircing the resistances lmao
When i see kritz shortstop full upgrade my day turn into hell
This fair is freakyyy 👅👅
I found out that the most op upgrade was the stun upgrade on thermal truster. With the length and consistency you can get stuns, kills are guaranteed.
Crit and Uber canteen made me cry multiple times trying to get the missions
This was the best Halloween map imo. So chaotic and fun
i remember when this map dropped in the community servers for playtesting and almost immediately me and my friend found a gamebreaking bug which would literally make you invisible if you ubered as a sentry buster. we uploaded it to youtube and sent it thru the map comments and it got fixed in the map's final release, but yeah this map was absolutely broken from the start lol
I didn't even know pyro jetpack can stun people because every pyro running it would just get sniped by 3 direct hit soldiers
honestly i really wanna see a "competitive" game on this map, i'd love to see the jank employed to counter the ordinary op strats.
especially highlander, that shit would be chaotic.
You somehow created the only case where the third degree is the meta pick
Funnily enough, Spy is probably the most overpowered class for this accursed map. Just maxing out speed + jump height makes you actual hell to deal with since you’ll constantly be behind or above everyone. Combine that with resistances while using a kunai makes you almost unkillable while you’re zooming around.
Part of me feels bad for the bullying towards those players... but my other half is happy to see Blue playing Heavy ❤
I miss this mode so much already. Horrid balancing but it was fun as hell
20:17 Well, you are sweating your butt off.
Somehow, I never saw this used during Halloween… maybe because of how unfun a one-sided fight becomes?
9:45 bobateehee predicted the future fr
21:58 imo, i would hex that guy with the classic "atupid te" spell
Thats just me tho
I'm just imagining a team of MVM high tours that know the top upgrade/weapon combos doing the spawn-camping and a couple of Delfy Engineers holding down last with infinite health sentries so they can never get back capped. A bit of coordination would make this map literally impossible for the enemy team to win.
And now: Great moments in unintended consequences!
God I remember demoknight being horrid on this map, especially when they get Uber canteens as well
I’m still super surprised that they added a stun upgrade to the thermal thruster. Combine that with the charge time buff, and you get really silly gameplay
Thank god im spanish cuz im not gonna have to deal with this bullshit next screamfortress i pray for you american tf2 players, i pray for you
If you wanted overpowered, get out the gas passer.
Solution: jetpack stun upgrade and 3rd degree
It's a Buff for the 3rd degree
THAT WAS A MAP?!
_fuck_
Man i wish i actually played the Halloween update now, hope this map comes back next year
Weapon upgrades in tf2 have always seemed like strange case to me
live commentary videos like this are my favorite from you. i'd be kinda sad to see them leave the main channel if you decided to only post them to the 2nd channel
The one map where the Enforcer becomes one of the best weapons in the game.
vac + the resistance upgrades from the shop
Did they fix the infinite health Sentry glitch yet?
You know, the one where if you keep buying and un-buying the Building Health upgrade, it keeps healing the Sentry to full health, so it can't be destroyed without instantly killing it?
if you think what they did was evil, the enemy pyros were using the scorch shot so it's only fair
3 vac Heavy, literal raid boss in TF2
me wishing this was just how Deadlock felt to play
(played it twice and lets just say inexperience with MOBA'S and the games current meta made me go "damn I cant do shit")
The actual best strat is obvoiusly Backscratcher Pyro
Legit, I am unironically happy but at the same time pissed because I didn't realize I got balanced into the end of your flames. If you're curious my friend Kasizil and I joined here unknowingly of what will be happening. 23:48
Ah yes, first person Dota
once everyone learns about this strategy this map turns the game into overwatch
I loved playing on this map but it was all uber potion phlog players
Let's fucking go!
The final boss of TF2
Me playing a wacky game mode for serious
0:10 Nah heavily disagree, Freaky Fair was a very bad idea, if Valve ever decides to hide any Halloween map from ever expanding rotation, I really hope this one goes away 😭🙏
game balance is my passion
It actually takes inspiration from deadlocked if im correct (i could be wrong)
This right here is why I didn't like Freaky Fair. Just so damn easy to completely break the map.
This map is horrendous and never should've been added
I can't wait for next year's Halloween Dustbowl reskin with MVM upgrades.
Glunkes skebungus
I love this map, it's so damn funny to abuse
still weird hearing something will be nerfed, even if it takes a year lol
use the eyelander with maxed out upgrades if you want minimal game balance lol
"most abusable map" brother why do you think it's called "freaky" 👅👅👅👅
Such a cute couple 🥰
I love stuns in first person shooters!!!
"welcome to helllll"
What HUD are you using?
Can someone please tell me what his hit sounds are from I know the sound but I cant name the game.
Freaky fair 👀👅
Tf2 commumity, where the youtubers bully their own potential viewers
What hud is he using? I like it
Darhud, i use it myself, really good
