@RC Cola | Ham Mafia | that will make so sense, bro.

There's reason why are they called Seasonal.

I just wanna have an option to play the seasonal maps all year round.

Why do people on the comments trying to encourage TF2 shifting from FPS into a sandbox? Also stuff like this is one of the reasons why community servers are dying. After Vscript hale got added I've never seen any other vsh community servers that has consistent players.

pray is nonsense. show it to developer by valve make sense.

Let's pray that this get's in once Deathmatch and Gun game eventually make their way inside the game. Having a map selection soley made for community stuff in a great way to encourage others to create even more!

@the goo(n) My original idea was to create an exclusive category for community-made game modes. However, when I hosted a 64-bit server, I realized that many people didn't know that game modes like PASS time or Mannpower were available in Casual Mode. This changed my perspective, and honestly, I agree that those modes should be there in Arcade to help people know about the existence of those modes

In the arcade tab can also go Player Destruction, MannPower, Pass Time, and Medieval Mode.

It'd also make for a good opportunity to add more maps for all these gamemodes given how many the community has made over the years.

if they do that. Revolution Begins. i wish they bring back Classic Old Menu 2011-2016 Era.

i hope valve add his mode game.

This is a great idea. Unfortunately, you forgot Valve is incompetent to add more than maps.

i'd love to see this in-game

this should be for existing maps only so that they can get a bit of traction, I disagree with something like prop hunt being added and with zombie infection being year round

should put arena mod it menu

should put mann up and pass time in this menu

"This is a mockup; the TF2 team would need to add the necessary code to make this work." DOA

good idea

honestly pretty genius idea

I would be 100% onboard with this menu Change as it would just make to so much easier to play the community mode you want to play on

The idea is correct and cool! Dali fans were given a V-cript and thanks to this, many fan servers can be improved and given the official opportunity to become part of TF2. This is what happened to Prophunt in the end. Arcade modes exist in all modern games, why not. This will not make TF2 worse, on the contrary, it will improve the main menu.

this is a great idea. I could see this making it a lot easier to find a match for some of the niche modes.

Yes, this is actually better because right now it's a bit confusing to people especially new players about other gamemodes in the misc sections. Really good.

As much as this is cool, this seems just like a reason to add shit like that V-Script PropHunt gamemode. I like the idea, maybe it could be changed and tweaked a bit but the concept is neat I guess.

I'm too lazy to argue, I just wish VSH had a separate page, not in "other"

ADD IT

so No thanks / Not interested.

literally FORNITE ADDED THE "ARCADE" category already so, is this maybe ctrl + v with this? because innecesary, we have COMMUNITY SERVERS, yknow?

Community servers section already exists.

@Platface Language! But yeah, that also reason why people that pro Vscrpt modes doesn't find Community Servers as valid argument: somewhat popular hosts doesn't give a flying crap about Vscript and they prefers to exploit item drop, achievement, MvM money and many other systems for "fun".

It can be filtered, when we got more those types of maps, besides being called arcade, it should be called misc modes.

I cant find any description.

2fort invasion is ctf. Just send that map to ctf casual !

Medievial

End of The Line

Player Destruction

Terrortial Control

More...


FFS ya idiots. We know tf2 is a fps game, misc stuff are made for enjoying. VSH/FF2 exist because multiplayer boss fights are good. TF2 ZI isn't completely bullshit unlike others. Majority of community servers doesn't want to use VScript. No wait... ARE THERE ANY SERVERS THAT USES VOLVO ACCEPTED VSCRIPT MAPS ?!

@Geebanger0 I think similarly but with note: "Make more things like Crasher with same regularity "(Which is funny because Crasher is not Vscript but okay).
I personally think that whole new mode should be made in 1-2 years or more with respectful level of quality like it happened with VSH.
We should slow down for our own sake and trying to implement new small features, like Perks' perks or Brine's salmen. But saying that people should not making entirely new gamemodes after they made it twice is pointless - they want and will try it again and again.
We can give respectful criticism and find a window for dialogue in Discord or here, if we don't wanna make another stupid drama.

if you want diversity, make more shit like crasher. quality maps with a unique twist, that still plays like tf2 and has minimal changes to the gameplay to make it work. that was the most popular map of the update when it was added.

@Lizard Of Oz fr man. Radical speeches like "We don't need new Vscript modes" can bring stagnation like it was until 2022 or worse if such things will evolve.
Game will be bloated anyway thanks to live service model, but in other case by mediocre PL and KOTH maps that exploit theme of event and made from one old overused sample.
We need diversity in gamemodes, said high quality of them and support with new maps and their own little features. But for now we should cool off, understand that Vscript modes will be with us from now on and that we should taking care about them being cooler and more balanced.

I'd like to see MORE custom vscript gamemodes (just pick HIGH QUALITY gamemodes).
I feel like more people who think the same should speak out, otherwise the conversation will be dominated by just 1 point of view, a point of view that's far from being universally agreed upon.
Heck, VSH still finds a match in less than a minute, so, people still like it 4 months after the update.

(Yes, I did made one of said gamemodes, precisely BECAUSE I wanted it to exist)

there are other arcade games on steam, go play those. Or hop onto community servers, they've been there since the start.

Arcade Mode is something they also have in Overwatch, and we all know how that game is now.

People are here for a FPS experience, not hide & seek, zombie infection, or Saxton Hale (VSH was tho tailored for this game).

Keep this game as it is.

@DR Narbacular I bought Garry's Mod for sake of playing one single mode - did not worth it at all . I preferring having separate tab with quickplay option for wacky but interesting modes in the game that I actually give a damn.

im personally in the camp that we dont need more vscript gamemodes, but if valve keeps adding them this would be a middle ground id be ok with.

Great idea! Small suggestion: put "Arcade" before "Competitive", as I imagine the former would get a lot more traction.

you should always be able to choose maps imo, the main category has map selections for a reason, maybe i like vsh, but i don't like a specific map, well too bad cant turn it off, and having to constantly re-queue if you queue into a map you don't like is needlessly annoying.

i feel like most players don't use the map selection feature and just tick an entire category and call it a day, but its nice to have it for players that want to curate their experience more finely. i sure would want the ability to filter out some maps from my pool.

finally some good fucking food

Good Middle Ground for people who dont want more vscript gamemodes get added to casual and people who wants it to get added to casual

god forbid we add more options and diversity to a 15 year old game

It wouldn't do very much to stop most misc modes from being dead. so... sorry but in my opinion I think this is kinda useless.

go play a different game if you don't want to play tf2. tf2 isn't some sandbox. in fact, people should be making stuff like this in s&box itself (a platform made for building things in source 2, it's NOT gmod 2, had to clarify that before someone tries bringing that up), it's literally the perfect place for prop hunt, zombie infection and more. tf2 should remain distinguished. if people want to use vscript in tf2, use it as a seasoning. old Halloween maps consisted of a small gimmick to spice up gameplay, and krampus, utilizing vscript, follows in it's footsteps fantastically.

your turn, liberals (this part is a joke, don't take mega offense to this)

Good shit right here, Action Sack but for TF2

thank you slim tardashian for speaking for the entire community

community servers were once a thriving part of the game, but quickly deteriorated in playercount after Meet Your Match.

to put it simply, this is a UX issue. Gamemodes like ZI and VSH aren't even properly made distinct or categorized in the current system. Those are very popular and well received gamemodes, yet they're thrown in under the really garbage and unorganized misc tab.

I don't see an issue with this idea. Overwatch has a near identical system, and it can also work somewhat similar to what Fortnite has with Creative mode.

Just no. We already have this in the form of miscellaneous gamemodes. Even if that tab was thrust into the front, it wouldn't save all those gamemodes from being dead.

People are here for TF2, not an arcade

I'm not sure. That's really what community servers are for,

yeah because i much rather download 50 gigabytes of pony playermodels to play a ten minute match of some goofy gaemmode

garrys mod

i love this idea
