Team Fortress 2 Is... Actually Amazing? 

Great video

I had the same situation a few months ago to be honest, to be honest getting into tf2 is…a wild experience.

After 16 years it's always good to see a video like this.

I played TF2 a bunch in high school and college years ago, and lost interest after I lost contact with most of the friends I played with. I'm happy I've decided to give it another try. Uncle Dane has inspired me to give my best effort at engineer!

luci what r u doing here

The fact that we both have seen the 100 days spy and decided to suffer by playing him is insane 😂😂😂

Honestly this video was way better then i expected, hell it was a suprise to see you to don’t have that many subs, can’t wait to see more videos in the future

You sir honestly deserve more subscribers, this video really brought out my fond childhood memories about tf2. It warms my heart seeing people still talking about tf2 16 years later. Thank you for making this video ❤ #savetf2

bro... how are you so underrated?

Amazing video! Keep making these. 👍

Another sub. This video is mad funny lol

You pretty much described my own experience with tf2 over the last year. So thanks for making this video

I member a time where I only played against bots and my brother. It wasn't until an Array Seven video sparked my interest and made my 200 hours turn into 1300 once I figured out how fun online is in an online game.

The bots are primarily in the us. I live in Europe and i see maybe 2-3 after 5 hours and they are easily kicked

Vanoss and the crew never cease to be funny. even after all these years of discovering and forgetting new and old youtubers, the Vanoss crew is one of the very few i still regularly watch. TF2 is kind of the same. no matter how long i stay away from the game, i never tire of the ever evolving SFM and GMOD creations and the endless creativity of the many creators who have gotten very skilled in their own crafts. STBlackSt, ElTorro64rus, Kitty rest his soul, Doctor Lalve, Blackimus, Crash Maul, kostamoinen, ThatGreyCartoonPony, The Winglet, Triumbrush, Great Dictator, ceno0 and many others bring so much to the table and it's honestly amazing how good some of them are.

I love videos like this. As a TF2 veteran coming back to the game again it warms my heart that there are still people experiencing and loving the game. Don’t give up on TF2 because it’s not going anywhere any time soon.

great channel, deserves more than 712 subs

Ive been playing tf2 since 10/30/2011. I was 10 back then and im 22 now. I took a break from 2014 till 2019 and since i got back into it ive been playing it constantly and is something i love and is part of my everyday life. I dont see me ever stop playing tf2. Especially since almost everything new these days is absolute garbage. I hope tf2 will still be playable 50 years from now.

Damn this video is good!! Super well-made! Writing, editing, voicing-seriously, I hope this gets WAY more views!

good video my guy, you earned a subscriber.

good video! I haven't played tf2 in years but it's nice to see it still popular.

underated video earned a sub

Your production value is amazing for such a small channel

Wow you actually deserve more views, your editing style is amazing, i hope to see you one day on tf2 to see how much you have improved on this silly little game

No matter how long it takes, you always come back to this game

Really good vid and also just wanted to say that i love the luci pfp

nice vid mate im subbed

look ma, im in a nxcturnal video! on a more serious note, great video man, happy to help out with it

As a veteran. I am always looking to see new people playing. I am glad you were proven wrong and I hope you continue to have good experiences with my favorite game.

I started playing like last year and i was blessed to make friends early even though i suck (and still do) could laugh at the sillyness of the game! And yknow what i hope you have fun with it too, even if you don’t stick around

Beautiful video!

Great video man 😄

Happy to see someone enjoy a game I have played for thousands of hours

i feel like everybody has an absurd way of getting into tf2. i personally found it from the first few how it feels videos by lazypurple and those were like instantly my favorite videos it was peak content for me but i didnt have a computer at the time but i did have roblox on the xbox so i played a roblox tf2 rip off for a while and i was seriously into it for a bit until i pulled together a setup with nvidia now because my shotty laptop couldnt handle the game. a year later id get a pc and finally be able to play it and it wasnt like anything id expected it was a little hard to get in with either bot infested casual or veteran dominated community servers. ive always been on and off since and accumulated 300 hours in total with an alright hat collection and some cool weapon skins. good video :P

this is incredibly funny I can't wait for you to become popular

Don’t worry, I watched that video in a day too, we’re both equally crazy

I'm new to tf2 and I've been playing recently a lot but haven't seen bots mostly never, and whenever it is any, the players instantly kick them so yea even if there's some servers full of bots it's not too often. (but I'm not trying to say valve shouldn't do anything, they need to)

I love TF2 so much it was one of the many games I grew up playing with my dad on.

You’re one of us now, for real now. toss this man a friendly Sandvich

9:17 somewhere out there an uncle named Dane is shaking his fist up high

I got into tf2 because it came to me in a dream. Now I cannot escape it.

Hopefully tf2 never dies

"This guy we don't need to talk about, he's sh&t" Def recommend the Uncle Dane channel 😏it'll be like an awakening. Unironically might do what ElMaxo did for you with the game in general. [but fr tho, great vid😁 loved seeing the slow journey you went through]

I played waaay back around after Love and War update on my friend's account and PC. I distinctly remember having fun playing as Scout with the Force-a-Nature. Years passed, we parted ways, and I wasn't able to play TF2 again for a very long time coz we don't have a PC let alone internet When the pandemic rolled, my parents got me a laptop for college. A couple months went by, when we got ourselves a stable wired internet, I immediately downloaded TF2 and went straight back to my roots. Now I have 900 hours in with 100 of it as Scout. Absolutely loving this crusty, senile, video game

Before i started playing tf2 a lot i used to speedrun muselk's tryhard tuesdays and slowly adapted how he played the game and how to think in the midst of the chaos. When i wanted a chiller route i watched mr.paladin and uncle dane. I learned how to play the game and felt like I was already playing it by watching all of them despite having not touched the game at the time yet. And when i eventually booted the game up, I had the knowledge already i merely needed to adapt to the chaos

Literally same, just returned after a whole decade and i now suck terribly at this game.

We welcome you with open arms

i 120% understand the struggle with the random weapon drops, im a soldier main who's favorite part of the class is the rocket jumping and it took me until around 500 hours to get the rocket jumper...

I never was good at shooter games and tf2 is still really fun, especially because of the hilarious moments that can arise.

2:00 the summer update told me to gib you dis note. “Uhm, nuh uh”

Now you gotta make another video on why you were wrong about calling the Engineer bad, can't wait

Stay focused! Your presentation is all over the place.

This video showed up on my suggestions and man, what a great video!! Been a long time fan of the game and haven't played for a while too, it made me wanna revisit it again. Even though i enjoy Overwatch and Paladins, i still think TF2 is a more special game. It's sad to see Valve not giving the attention it deserves anymore and maybe they are gonna do a TF3 (If they learned already how to count to 3 right?).

tf2 is perfect when i first joined i played the game 24/7

video titled "100 days of spy" watches it in one day "i am speed"

Seems like a lot of people have experienced being sucked back into the game due to the great content people are putting out. I got pulled in around a year ago, going down the same elmaxo binge watch, branching out into more tf2 youtube content. Binged for like a month before I downloaded the game and gave it a try. It's been a highly enjoyable year.

I’ve played the most with Scout and he is one of the most under scored characters in my arsenal 😭

Started playing in 2014 had a few breaks but now have 2300 hrs 300 of thoes in engineer alone. All time best class

ok now THIS is content

My situation was similar. When I was younger, I always wanted to play the game, I tried and sucked and then lost interest. 7 years later, it comes into my feed, and then it clicked. I have been obsessed ever since

What future videos do you plan to make?

2:50 they tried doing hot fixes for the bots, but the bot problem is something that will take time as we seen

Nice video I also have some spare items if you want

Hears someone insult engie. Furrows brow Puffs out chest Says tax exemption

i seriously hope you blow up :D (on the internet not in real life lol that would be bad)

how have i not realized that cuphead music goes crazy with tf2??

Hey I’m here just to say half a year ago I watched lazypurple but I couldn’t play tf2 because I didn’t have steam and I didn’t have time to install it because of jobs but eventually I did have time to download and install steam and tf2 and the first couple of minutes I knew about the f2p player no talky talky and bots and I started on Tuesday also known as bot day and it made me drop the game for a couple of weeks because I had a very bad first impression to tf2 I picked it up again and it was an amazing experience and now I have over 300 hours

9:16 how to piss of engineer mains in 5 seconds

I think the game could certainly do with some in-game ways for new players to get over that initial hurdle of learning the basics. The tutorials don't really cut it. The community has some excellent training resources (rocket jump maps, pyro airblast gamemode, many many tutorial videos). Once thing that could help is a contract tracker which gets new players to complete various objectives to learn the basics & unlock items. But once you get past that initial hurdle, you open yourself up to all of the many things you can learn and do.

After seeing that last clip with you playing heavy, I can say with confidence that there is a vital piece of information that you need. You can spin up and keep the barrel spinning without firing by holding right click. This vital knowledge to have when playing Heavy for 2 reasons: The first being how long it takes the minigun to rev up. The 0.89 seconds it takes to rev up the minigun can be the difference between life or death. The second being the reduced accuracy and damage the minigun has immediately after reving up. The minigun starts with 50% less damage and accuracy when it initially starts firing and it takes 1 second for the minigun to ramp up to full damage and accuracy. By preemptively reving up 2 seconds before you enter combat or keeping your gun reved up in combat, you can avoid that 1 second of reduced stats as much as possible. As a direct result of my knowledge, seeing you tap firing with the minigun in the way you were was genuinely painful... Also, play HL, HL: Opposing forces, HL: Blue shift, HL2, HL2: Episode 1, HL2: Episode 2, and Portal.

incredible how the orangebox was 3 of the best games of all time in 1 release bundle

i started playing again recently after stopping in like 2017

I havent seen a bot in like weeks or even months. even if i did they werent coming in swarms

Can you put your steam trade offer link in the description, I wouldn't mind giving you some items for this great video

well made video, i like it.

happy scream fortress!

When you play a game long enough, you're bound to just become better at it. When you've reached the top, it just gets dull. Those who are still better than you become fewer and farther between.

“…and whatever the Fock this is” *shows an expensive item I really want*

TF2 is definitely an experience of all. Both good and bad, the community and the game itself are a wild clusterf--ck. But it is the only game I put more then 100 hours into, in fact 3 _thousand_ hours. This game _is_ a time capsule I will always keep coming back to, sure will take breaks from it but it's not leaving my life anytime soon for better or worse.

To avoid any bots, I usually just go to community servers. I don't think I've ever encountered a (bad) bot. I say bad bot because there are those trade servers where you can kill bots that just stand there and take hits like no problem XD

I played tf2 in 2019 and hated how many bots were in the game and how complex it was. I then deleted it. Now with the summer update and halloween update I'm addicted. This game is awesome.

"An impressive 150 hours" Uhhhh. *glances over at my 1600 hours*

2,100+ hours of this game, HALF OF IT being wasted on ONE MAP, degroot keep. I haven't been able to have fun playing any other map in this game so I only play this one map with a gamemode I can handle... I missed when I used to have fun playing this game

get a hat in tf2 can make a man more happier than any skins from other games

may you have an amazing time playing tf2 for as long as you play it.

2:58 this is strangifier for a pan its rare and its not cheap to buy

try playing some trolldier, when you get the items, rocket jumper, mantreads & market gardener. entire subclass: funny flying shovel man. - use no damage rocket launcher to fling yourself into the air / at the enemy - use mantreads buff to strafe easier in the air to land NEXT to target (slightly more falling time to land a garden) - slap with crit shovel - -195 MEEEDIIIIICCC! _vas is das?_ HEELP! _Nein!_

Similar experience here. 1 year ago I returned to tf2 and introduced a few friends. I had 200 hours at that time. Fast forward 1 year later to today, 1200 hours, our tf2 friend group has grown by 4 times its initial size of 4 people (me included). We met them on tf2, got to know each other and we play nearly every day together now. The problem right now is the 6 player team limit in tf2 when you want to play with someone lmao.

I seriously understand you. The meet your match update was a disaster that almost killed the game.

Yo if you ever want someone to play with im here :D Bonk Drinker Jr also some other things you should do to make playing a bit more better but are optional, take full advantage of the console that is in the game, make some kill bind with - and if your up to the challenge(0r just want my binds) use some CFG! its fun and makes each class able to play differently without sacrificing terrible binds for other classes.I can give you some basic and more advanced cfg binds if you want! im here to make sure you have a great time playing! some simple binds are bind - kill (When pressing - you kill bind, simple....) make a cfg file for each class by copying the config-default and re writing the code within each class name you must put in the exact words needed to be working Scout Soldier Pyro Demoman Heavyweapons Engineer Medic Sniper Spy

Cool video. Algorithm boost as well

let this man cook

as an 500hours on tf2 i can say u will get better more u play

Damn it appears you and I are pretty similar when it comes to past interests, especially the love for vanoss

Try spycology it teach you a lot

3:28 bro talking about the 2010s like it was 20 years ago

It's funny how valve once made games so good that they all outlived their spiritual successors. Back 4 Blood, 2 whole Overwatch games, and a mountain of Half Life clones are all textbook examples.

0:39 by the name of music? I can't find this person. Could you link their video in the description in the future when your video mentions one?

7:55 i have like nearly 100 hours of spy and yep. just.. just yep. it doesnt change for a while but you become god randomly so thats pretty cool right?

I'm just now getting into TF2, and all I have to say is... please microsoft! Pleeeeease make valve do upkeep! Peraonally it would suck to see such a great game go do to age. There is a want for this game (clearly) but i can't understand why it's not getting the love it desperately needs
