Here's what I HATE the most about it:

• viewmodel is forced and positioned at 75. That really bugs me and messed up my whole flow.
• The standard HUD. Hopefully they allow custom ones once they're done stress testing.

Standard hud is not enforced. I've been using my custom one this whole time, just wait for it to be updated with the new elements so it doesn't crash.

I've always played with the standard settings. I just changed my FOV to 90....just now for the first time. I'm still not sure how a fancy HUD makes you a better player.

It's super easy to get used to. Default HUD shoves health / ammo in the corners, and almost all custom huds bring it out a little bit so that if you get a steam notification you no longer immediately lose your ammo count. That and Quake crosshairs trump TF2s.

This group by geel is pretty usefull.

Sends you a steam notification when a stresstest begins.

No, you're right the HUD makes no difference in how I perform. But I'm just used to the overall layout, reverting back to the old HUD messes with my eyes. I asked several people who participated in the stress test(s) and the viewmodel cap at 75 is also bothersome for them.

FOV can make a huge difference tbh

Comp players give them out for free, traders try to make profit of it.

I would like a pass. WTF?

Gonna send you a beta invite next time I get one.

[D-Bee 3,448]

I haven't seen the comp button appear since JB sent me that pass. I've been sent one through Steam as well, and still nothing. Is the Beta over?

[D-Bee 3,448]

Valve must be reading my posts because the competitive button appeared yesterday. Played one game and won, and then played another and...there's nothing that can ruin your day quite like playing a competitive match against a group of aim botters. Valve, please fix!
