Casual mode, Almost perfect to make Team Fortress 3.0 : From a Valve Consumer

TF2 Casual mode


Why it's almost perfect, why it's made TF3.0, and why it works


The meet your match update had a rough launch and was ridiculed left and right for modifying quickplay into the csgo-style QUEUE-play. But Casual's formatting as of now is almost better than quickplay.

We will never be able to replace quickplay because the speed of it was just so nice. However, this is a very nice upgrade.

Why it works

1. Multiple gamemode selection: This allows better than quickplay so if you just want a match you don't have to decide which gamemode when you can have them all!

2.Rematch system as of now: able to actually have map rotations for servers


3. NO FORCED AUTOBALANCE


4. EXP system: purely cosmetic but it's for those people who like loot and VALVE GETS THAT. Portal 2, CSGO, and TF2 all have cosmetic things for a reason. Steam itself has cosmetic things like badges, emoticons, backgrounds, and more. While Overwatch now has the spray, emote, and voiceline wheels. There is still a limit on how much you can show off.


However, it's not perfect. 

Here's what it needs

1. Remaining maps: a big chunk of maps are missing like

ALL ARENA MAPS
CTF(mannpower)_FOUNDRY
CP_5Gorge
CTF_Sawmill
CTF_2fort (invasion)
and CTF_Well
as well as the unfinished maps 
RD_asteroid
and 
PL_cactuscanyon

2. Ability for people to AD-hoc into friend matches

no longer can we join our friends in game, nor in MVM matches.


3. STOPWATCH MODE'S return to attack/defend and payload.


Stopwatch mode is implemented in competetive attack/defend and payload maps and it's like Overwatch's competetive time on Escort maps.

This would allow a more definitive winner to those maps



WHY HAS IT MADE TF3.0?

MEET YOUR MATCH updated and pushed TF2 into a new era.Image result for gold rush update
First there was the Hatless era, when TF2 was starting out and getting map updates with new maps weapons and hats to start things.
Then there was the F2P ERA: when TF2 became Free 2 Play, it became accessible.Image result for Uber update
THE CONTRACT ERA: when weapon skins, tiered cosmetics, and contracts came in which made TF2 and it's economy much different

And now: 
THE SERIOUS ERA
Competetive modes, all-class cosmetics appearing every now and then. Community servers getting a slight highlight. The Pyro v Heavy War appeared. And we got the CSGO CELT voice codec, which means we'll have better voice chat.

Overwatch's new Year of the Rooster event (post coming soon elaborating)
seems to have made it into Overwatch 1.5
