Stop saying this.

"why have a dodgeball server if you can just play dodgeball in real life?"
"why have a freebuild server if you can just build with legos in real life?"
"why have a challenge server if you can just set up an obstacle course in real life?"

This question can be asked with a lot of things that are likable in this game. Please stop being a friend about this.

This isn't really cross-applicable as - get this - you're going out of your way to get an inferior version of the TF2 experience. TF2 itself is very very carefully tailored at its core. No Blockland TF2-themed DM will ever even be comparable.

Note: I don't even like TF2. But Blockland DMs are mostly subpar experiences in general. I'd much rather see people put effort into custom deathmatches that are their own than incredibly shoddy ripoffs of other games.

Because why make a TF2 server if you can actually play TF2?

Plus, they all sucked.

Some people like ME can't run tf2 without having 1 frame

yeah, there's barely any good servers anymore
i find myself hosting more just so i can have fun on a tdm

It's less that TDM's are bad and more that they're not being made (or at the very least finished) often enough

[Harm94]

Too many boring none cooperative Team Deathmatches or Death Matches, not of builds servers.

[The Corporation]

Like bushi said, weapons.

[.:FancyPants:.]

because TF2 TDMs are dogstuff because the TF2 pack that currently exists is weird and off balance and no fun to use

make a new one make a new one make a new one

You want a invisible 20?

Non-cooperative isn't as easy to fix as "oh okay let's make this map huge and CP based"

Granted, it helps a bit but it is left to the players to work it out.

Lack of an efficient means of communication within the game kills any real hope of consistent teamwork

You can't stop in a DM to type so only people who know each other externally to the game and who talk on skype and whatnot can really work together effectively unless it's purely systematic teamwork ie healer/tank stuff

Good luck typing while moving in TF2!

But you can just talk. You don't even need to move your hands.
