Now that plenty of time has passed, was this a good ending for TF2?

>>713451634 (OP)
>all the mercs are happy and friends with eachother and scout has a big family and they all thank (You) personally for just being there
Hella yea it was

Meanwhile at BLU

>>713451634 (OP)
Are the comics good?
From what I've seen thry just look like autistic elaboration on "lore" that was meant to be a joke and intentionally stupid. An excercise in missing the point.

Take soldier for instance. I always thought the reason he was crazy was because of rocket jumping explosions rattling his brain. He's a shell-shocked parody of general patton.
But apparently it's because he was drinking some contaminated water or something?

>>713451634 (OP)
HEY, WHEN DID THE ENGINEER GROW A NEW HAND BACK?!

>>713451634 (OP)
It was good.

where is pyro

>>713451634 (OP)
Who are the ghosts supposed to be?

>>713452507
Between soldier and medic looking at the turkey

>>713451634 (OP)
I dislike how Spy looks younger than Sniper despite being about twice his age

>>713452575
Tom Jones and Merasmus.

>>713451634 (OP)
Scout really should have been talking to Pyro at the end. Set it up as a "thank YOU the player" joke, show that Pyro isn't already at the table, and give readers a second to realize the implications.

>>713452391
Soldier is literally just a insane patriot, Anon. He larps being a vet but has never been in a war. It's always been clear that he's one of the more insane characters.
And no, the comics were never about the "lore" but more about seeing all the shenanigans the TF2 crew can get into.

>>713451634 (OP)
I don't know like 60% of these characters

>>713453405
Have you played TF2?

>>713453552
Back when I played there were 9 classes.

>>713451793
>thank (You) personally
actually thats blue medic from team fortress 1 who was befriended off screen

>>713451634 (OP)
>not mentioned in game
>not even mentioned in the fucking feedback
>the same feedback publishes 100 buck prize compfaggot tournaments
I didn't even read the comic but why be so apathetic to any kind of closure we're gonna get at this point, fucking valve

No.

Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

>>713454071
The comic was announced in a blog post on the TF2 website, which is where big update news used to get posted first back when we had big updates. Everyone knew about the comic when it hit, it didn't fly under the radar.

>>713452724
Spy is a rich gentleman, he probably buys expensive skin care stuff, only eats expensive healthy food, only drinks the most expensive wine and has his ski mask protecting him from the sun. Meanwhile Sniper is a schizo that lives in the middle of nowhere drinking his family recipe moonshine that melts through steel. Plus as a sniper he will often stay hours in the sun sitting still waiting for the perfect moment to take the shot.

>>713453552
It's precisely because he PLAYS tf2 that he doesn't know. A whole load of the characters never show up in the game itself.

>we were the cameraman from meet the team the whole time

>>713451634 (OP)
uhhh pyrosisters? Where are we...?

>>713456160
Right bellow the wine glass being held by sniper.

>>713455871
But miss pauling killed him off the spectator camera is zephenia mann

>>713451634 (OP)
Why does the revenge plot works in TF2's final issue but not in say, The Last of Us 2?

>>713457373
The revenge plot in TLOU2 does not work because Ellie kills thousands of people, loses a bunch of her friends, loses her gf, only to at end give up on it right before achieving her revenge.
Meanwhile the Admin also loses everything for revenge, except that at end she completes her revenge, and clearly has no regret over it.

No, not even as a comic ending, it happened and I guess thats more than can be asked but the writing didnt really didnt make it worth the wait or worth the lead up to it.

>>713456839
damn I'm blind

>>713451634 (OP)
Nope, too little of the soul of the games, too much women and their drama.

>>713451634 (OP)
Wait, where's Pyro? Why wouldn't he be in that final salute to (You) the player?

Hey look, new MVM update

>>713461846

>>713461846
For the many people with challenged eyesight in this thread

>>713462075
lol yeah right, 12 years after the last one they really are going to-
>it's real

>>713451634 (OP)
Yes. It tied all notable loose ends nicely, ended the main plot in the most TF2 way, and had a good cool sensible end for the mercs.

>>713452391
yes, they're a nice fun little romp.

>>713462090
That's the pyro mask left on the table, so where is the pyro? is the woman in front of it? idk

>>713457373
>https://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=247188
Because Admin actually gets her revenge, and in TF2 fasion completely forgets why she was doing so to begin with.
It does the Revenge = bad plot well and make sense while still following the black comedic undertone TF2 does.

>>713451634 (OP)
>FOREVER YOUNG
>I WANNA BE

>>713462075
holy shit wtf

>>713462090
>>713462109
Yeah I'm dumb, hidden in plain sight for me; I was looking for him at the other's eyes level

>>713462075
HOH

>>713462075
WHAT THE FUCK

>>713457373
>>713457746
>>713462486
i don't think any of you have actually played tlou2 if you missed the point that hard

>>713462075
>ISREAL

>>713462075
HEAVY UPDATE CONFIRMED
YATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA

>>713462075
WHAT THE

>>713463225
Excellent bait.

>>713457373
Because TF2 is built on stupid retarded petty reasons for fighting and then it’s revealed that the mastermind behind everything is exactly the same as everyone else, it’s funny while still treating Admin as a threat until the very end.
It also adds a canon reason behind the spectator door which is genius, as he’s watching for the same reason you are, watching players die in a pointless match

>>713462075

>>713462075
Huh? We're getting an actual update?

>>713462075
Ey yo wtf?

>>713451634 (OP)
>Administrator's grand plan was to throw away Earth's most precious resource just to continue her revenge beyond the target's grave
10/10
>Aggressively saccharine send-off where they suck off the reader for having waited for the ending, in the process burning up valuable pages that could've been used on an actually satisfying tying up of all the little character threads and moments
2/10

>>713462075
so are we getting new rewards then, even the community tours give medals

>>713465274
It's a two-parter update, one in late August and one extra layer of MvM content added on top of the usual Scream Fortress.

>>713462075
>MvM
Anyone who gives a shit about this is a completely lapsed faggot. There's no reason to put out the call for MvM maps when Potato.tf is going on eternally strong. It'd be much more interesting if they called for, say, stuff that showcased Vscript without being custom bosses or new gamemodes.

Remember when this fake leak was floating around people believed it just "because"?

>>713465953
potato.tf uses Vscript.

>>713466070
The writer took 27 drafts to finish the comic, there's a possibility that any of those leaks were real but scrapped

>>713462075
i've never played MVM, is it fun?

>>713451634 (OP)
Some of the classes barely got to talk in teh ending.

>played since pre-launch
>never once read any of the comics

>>713462075
Yeah yeah, now stop beating a dead ho-
>June 23rd 2025

>>713466268
Yeah, but stay out of Mann Up because it's full of L4D-tier meta slaves that will chimp out at the smallest shit because they're gambling addicts.
Boot Camp is the same shit but free and no rewards so it's just chill people playing.

>>713466268
Mann Up has some of the most homosexual manchildren apes in gaming. Boot Camp is fun, and some community mvm maps are very good.

>>713466268
MvM is peak autism fun, the main problem with it was that the content drought for the gamemode was real and the mode itself's unironically been stagnating since 2014.
So this update can be good.

>>713462075
>It's real

>(You) were the Team Fortress 2 all along

Never read the comic. How do they explain the clones and respawning and shit?

>>713462075
Why are people freaking out about this? Updates via getting the community to make shit is fairly par for the course for this game these days.

>>713468881
It's the first MvM related update in 12 years

>>713468549
I’m pretty sure the respawns were maybe explained at one point but the comic cast is just meant to be a mix of blue and red all wearing red

>>713468881
People have wanted new MvM content (and new fucking aussies and killstreak effects) for over a decade and we may get some now.

>>713462075
fuck yeah

>>713462075
Holy shit

We are not dying, we are going to live forever

I've never spent money on MvM, but if they add new rewards for this then I think I'd splurge on some tickets. This game has given me a shitload of fun for free so paying little is fine for me.

>>713473418
I don't play MvM because of how asshurt the people who no-life it get when you "play wrong"

>>713474123
I have doubts to how widespread that is, while I'm sure those people exist, I wouldn't be surprised if that is an overblown issue. But I am ignorant so who knows, regardless there will be MANY people like me who don't normally engage with MvM engaging. So I think that problem won't be upon release.

>>713474123
I only have a handful of tours but everyone so far has been alright

>>713462075
finally we're eating

>>713462075
oh?

>Never revealed who Pyro is
Good job writers. You actively made the right decision.

>>713451634 (OP)
SEX WITH PYRO

>>713465879
august is just the deadline for map & mission uploads
the update is dropping near halloween

>>713451634 (OP)
It was a perfect ending unironically, They even didn't shill deadlock ( That moba that's gonna flop).

>>713474369
it's way overblown
the biggest problem is retards who can't figure out basic concepts such as "avoid damage while picking up money as scout" and "place the dispenser in a spot where the team can access it" and "don't max out rocket launcher clip size as your first upgrade."
frankly the worst metafags are also low-tours who assume you MUST play the game a certain way to win. it would be one thing if that were it, but they're so confidently wrong about ideal playstyles (e.g. medic is necessary, spy is useless, sniper is a single-target damage dealer) that it's infuriating. there are asshole high tours, but in my mann up experience most of the 100+ tour guys are just chill and want the mission to go smoothly, and have no problem carrying.
fortunately you can just play community mvm and avoid most of this bullshit. you get competent and chill players and far more maps and missions, plus the occasional rebalance/custom weapon.

>>713462075
I'd unironically love to see a story campaign like machine attacks

Need lewds of the administrator

>>713451634 (OP)
i think it was pretty good

Honestly the best Christmas present I could've asked for

>>713462075
They better add new fucking aussies or this is all for naught.

>>713479981
VALVE! GIVE ME A GOLDEN FISH AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!
