Why isn't Pass Time popular?
Pass Time is one of if not my favorite game mode in TF2, and it's a shame that it's very unpopular. Maybe if Valve puts it on primary game modes or makes, or adds new community maps it would become more popular.

How many of you would like to see this become a reality?

Pass Time is a very specific type of game on TF2. It's not just mindlessly fragging and maybe getting the objective done. It's more like a sport, it requires a team effort. TF2 isn't all about Teamwork, it's about showing off your expensive items. Plus, who wants to play Hockey Soccer Basketball on a video game about getting frags

Literally the rarest achievement is to win 10 pass time games, nobody plays it

It favors the Scout too much because you have to move around a lot to chase the objective.

This.

Also, there's a lot of power to engineers, who can block the throw just by placing their sentries near the goal, which limits people who just want to get past and throw the ball.
Since it's so team-oriented, there's not a lot of momentum for people to gather that on a pub-level.
I really enjoyed playing it when it first came out. The thing that made me turn away was the mini-crit when alone dealio. There's a TON of teamwork that can be poured into it, but it's so much better off with friends, and can punish some solo-queueing or people who prefer those sick frags.

So, also what the first guy said

Not enough players, so no one plays. Since no one plays, there's not enough players to play with.

Please mark this guy's thread. It's the answer to this thread. Maybe life too.

Basically this, also PASS Time is a pretty mediocre gamemode anyways. Not really balanced, maps are way too big, maps are generaly poorly made, it requires alot of coordination that is just non existant in pubs.

It's sad, really. It would be perfect for comp if they fixed up the class restrictions.

In fact, if they wanna make tf2 an esport, pass time would be a great gamemode, it's literally based on real sports, which are balanced.
