Halloween update- no other fun FPS with anything new.

other games should really stop focusing on competitive and try to make a fun game instead

new halloween event, valve actually somehow caring to put out a bunch of bug-fixes during it so it's not straight-up broken to play

Because it's a good game and there is no other first person multiplayer games worth playing that let you fool about other than Mordhau (and you need to be autistic to play Mordhau).
This. Siege died as soon as they started catering to comp autism.

tf2 in smash soon

that's the issue, some other games need to focus on comp to make them active such as fighting games.
But making a game competitive in mind is just bad design imo.
Most people won't even enter events or tournaments

because all the fps today are console-matchmaking based turds with antifun gameplay. A good game is still a good game no matter how old it is.

Literally the only fun FPS right now

bots

We would be lucky if we got Mii costumes of all the mercs. Scout, Spy, and Demo would be sword costumes, Medic, Soldier, and Sniper would be gunner costumes, and Heavy, Pyro, and Engie would be brawler costumes.

Ironically the only fun fps even after devs destroyed balance and added matchmaking

Are there any other games that have Halloween events going on? It used to feel like tons of games did something for most holidays, but now it's pretty rare.

Objectively the best Halloween game

Guild Wars 2, Killing Floor 2 comes to my mind, and I started playing Inquisitor Martyr, but that doesn't seem to be halloween related, just another league they do in cycles?

holy kek

lol, overwatch sure killed it

Monster Bash is the best halloween map
Don't @ me

I never played a single round of this, is it too late to start now or is it an actually good game?

early 2010's culture is getting a renoissance

>playing TF2 when Overwatch exists
lmao

Never too late. Account level in this game does absolutely nothing and there's no skill-based matchmaking to speak of. You'll be on even ground with everyone else save for some unlockable weapons that are like 5 for 1 cent on trading sites.

You don't play overwatch either, what's that shit? Lmao.

>NO! YOU DON'T PLAY THE BETTER GAME!
cope hatcuck lol

There was a point when Overwatch was clearly better game. It might no be anymore. Everything went downhill from Doomfist.
A nigger literally ruined Overwatch.

I see new accounts all the time

Ok, kid.

Just join and have fun.

Pick a class that stands out to you a lot, and try them. Switch between your classes often to help the team, and figure out what you enjoy playing the most.

All classes are good, some easier than others, but they all have a skill ceiling that can be reached, regardless of what others tell you.

Halloween and Christmas always brings in decent numbers plus it's still a rather unique game when compared to all the other shooters out there. Now imagine how much bigger TF2 could be if Valve gave a shit about it.
