Declined Banning weapons from servers.

I'd like to ask something:

Could some weapons be banned from servers?

Why? Because there are some weapons in TF2 that ruin the fun from playing. For example:
- Pomson -> only advantages, realy annoying advantages
- Darwin's Danger Shield (on 2Fort) -> You have to wait little bit longer to headshot sniper with this. This is realy cheap in sniper duels.

 

Well, in my oppinion Valve knows what they are doing, and that you can easilly counter such weapons.
For example, if someone uses Darwin just change or ask someone to change to Soldier/Demo, they do hell lot of more damage when an sniper wears it.
And pomson? It does have adventages, yes. But also count in the fact that it's nearly impossible (unless crit) to kill an heavy with it. Besides it takes some time for the projectile to hit it's mark, and you need really good prevision skills to actually hit.
-1 to this, in my oppinion.

 

No, Not gonna happen.

 

I think it's safe to say that we aren't going to be banning any weapons soon as we don't intend on having modified servers (different rules and such).


The only time a weapon was banned was the red-tape recorder because it caused server crashes and NOT because people had complained over it for being an annoying sapper to deal with.

 

As much as I feel your pain, that won't gonna happen.

 

It is possible, but it won't happen.

 

When talking about darwni's shield I mentioned sniper duels and 2Fort. When playing on 2Fort I see a lot of ppl having sniper duels so soldier/demo isn't sulution.
Engie is not long/medium range class so projectile travel time doesn't matter in close range. As for the heavy killing: I rarely see engies killing heavies with shotguns without any help (damaged by sentry/teammate).

 

FoG is public based, banning a weapon because people moaned at it for no reason would prove really stupid.

 

All servers that involve serious deathmatch like Hightower, 2Fort, Randomizer, etc, will not have certain weapons banned from the game. We want to give a vanilla experience to all Team Fortress 2 players, so we use what Valve gives us to work with. This also applies for Trade/Idle, Idle and Achievement/Idle and Mario_Kart. Only VS Hale and Jailbreak have banned weaponry because that's required by the gamemode.

If you want to have sniper duels, convince people to unequip the shield.

 

lol no

 

Hell No Sir!

 

Silly thread is silly.
You can pretty easily win a sniper duel even if the enemy is using Darwin's Danger Shield. Just be the better sniper by making yourself harder to hit. Personally I find the lack of class limit-restrictions worse than the fact that weapons won't be banned.

 

Nope, aint gonna happen, if it really goes so deep up your butt, then find a server with these weapons banned, instead of being such a pest and make a useless thread aboot it.

 

This will most likely never happen, since it is really stupid to ban items, and each item has balancing to it.
