Good. I didn’t join up yet because I have a lot of shit to do, but TF2 is still an excellent game, especially in an age of even more aggressively monetised class-based shooters with worse balancing.
The fact that a 17 year old game is still going after that kind of neglect is a true testament to how good it is.
Ugh, while I agree games have too much monetization nowadays, please don’t give TF2 a free pass. It paved the way for so much of what we see today.
50% of the player count are bots that do not cheat … maybe.
I have been thinking about this: With the recent advancements in AI could you build a bot that pretends to be a human playing the game (with some intentional flaws in its gameplay – so no aimbot for example)?
I would imagine player behavior – like movement around obstacles – in tf2 would be a valuable data mine to train AI further.
With the recent advancements in AI it could say confusing nonsense in the chat…
