Another discussion post. Simple enough question: are you good with what we got?

Personally, I'm of mixed feelings. I've gone on and on about this in various different TF2 spaces, but my opinion boils down to this - what content we do get is good, but it's made by the community and pretty scarce; TF2 is still one of the top games by both yearly gross revenue and concurrent players, and yet all Valve can do is add community maps and some lootboxes filled with community hats and warpaints every few months. Even this promised update was basically just two holiday updates stapled together, with the only real unique thing of Vs. Saxton Hale mode (still community made) being broken on launch and (to my knowledge) still not fixed.

What we did get was good. I love Selbyen (both because haha seal but also because I love Player Destruction and it's a good deathmatch map), Reckoner, Hardwood, and Rotunda. I'm not going to bother opening a crate because I'm not gonna support more Valve microtransactions, but I've heard the hats were good and the warpaints were alright. I just think the game should get more, even despite its age, because of how well it still performs.

EDIT: Also, no community fixes, what's up with that? Wasn't that part of what was promised?

I agree on those two maps. They're far from the worst, but they're both very long and very linear (even for payload), long sightlines and some strange detailing choices.

I didn't know about that tweet, so if we get more that'll be good, but... c'mon Valve.
