Why are we trying to add Open Fortress to TF2?

[Mcfighter2]

This is compltely stupid. They're two different games, and you know that if it does get added people would only play it in the month it's added, and after that the modes would die in the misc games tab. Its gamemodes would be butchered versions of what's actually in Open Fortress anyways.
Just play Open Fortress!

What do you mean, and who's trying to do that?
If we're talking about mere workshop entries rather than a deliberate push for such content, then it's just the place you upload maps to.
If we are talking about deliberate efforts to bring those in the official game, it is unfitting indeed. This should be exclusive to community servers.

There are multiple Gun Game and Deathmatch vscript map submissions on the workshop that are directly from Open Fortress, with custom weapons, Mercenary model, and such.

As long as they don't try to force it into the main game, I don't see much wrong with it. It's decent community server material.

Whats next? Slender mode?

But it's obvious that they do want it in the main game.

I dunno about that tbh. Although, when the game modes are scripted by the same person who made VSH, it makes me concerned that it might actually get in as an official mode, and the timing at which it got uploaded to the workshop is suspicious. Even then, it probably looks way too far off from base TF2 to go beyond community servers.

[Fireschlong #2Broke4MannUp]

I would prefer a Gun Game where we still play with TF2's classes though instead of a generic mercenary, like the plugin. BHopping is also super weird.

[Fireschlong #2Broke4MannUp]

Anyway, I assume it has to do with Valve's stance towards Open Fortress. They aren't really hostile towards it (at least, they took it down once, then stopped caring), but they haven't been particularly welcoming towards it either. Also, not everyone has OF installed, so it's probably ported to TF2 to reach more people. And of course, simply to add more unique playable content to TF2, and maybe to show what is possible with VScript. I can only speculate, but these may all be valid reasons.

I'll end my comment spam for now. Sorry for being the compulsive contrarian, too, but I love interesting maps and game modes too much, no matter how good or bad, so I'm compelled to defend them.

And how would you deduce that?

Where else would they put it though? It's literally where servers get their maps from.

Gamebanana and TF2maps.net
If they really wanted them to just be for the intent of community servers, then they'd only put them there.

They already tried to add prop hunt, It can't get any more degenerate than that.
