EDIT 29/03/2021: A little while after the video was released, I received some shirts among other physical items (like water bottles) from FACEIT. Nothing particularly valuable, but it is a very kind gesture. FACEIT has been giving out these random items to various content creators for free, without asking for anything in return. For example, Jbird received the same gifts without being required to make a video in return. All he did was make a tweet, and I'm pretty sure he didn't even have to do that. I can also confirm that these items were not delivered to me in return for making this video specifically, it seems they just want to be nice to the TF2 community.
I can't edit the video to include these items in the disclaimer, and since this happened after the video was released, I don't think I need to. However, Zesty Jesus and a bunch of others (namely a few cheaters wanting to tarnish FACEIT's name) have started conspiracies that FACEIT is illegally doing under the table sponsorships. Simply put, this is an incredibly offensive lie based on nothing but speculation, that attacks the character of all of these CZcamsrs. I didn't want to talk about Zesty in any way, but his rabid followers pestering me (and many other youtubers) about it has forced me to make a statement here.
The dude makes fun of Valve News Network presumably for all of the speculation that guy made, but then Zesty goes and speculates himself, and (intentionally or not) uses his platform as a weapon to swing at other CZcamsrs. Hypocritical, and arguably worse. I do understand that including this in the description sort of does the same thing in a smaller way, but I have no idea why Zesty hasn't gotten more flak for attacking other creators like this.
I can respect him as a content creator, but if he's going to attack me and others based on nothing but speculation, and then send his fans to attack us (intentionally or not), then that's where it goes too far. - Hry
Over a year later, I've decided to pin this new comment to share my thoughts on why this failed. It doesn't really warrant an entire new video, too late for that now.
• Creating a 12v12 matchmaking system is hard. Since it was always going to have a smaller number of active players than Casual mode, they had to make compromises with map choice to speed up queue times, and even then they were still fairly slow and games would often be unbalanced.
• Prizes incentivized very skilled competitive players to queue in 6-man parties together, with the goal of steamrolling the games as fast as possible, just to get the prizes ASAP. This didn't happen every game at first, but as Casual players started to leave the service, it increasingly became more and more of a problem.
• Prizes incentivized the constant use of some of the most broken or annoying weapons/strategies in the game.
• In Casual mode, broken weapons are usually fine because you only encounter maybe one person at most doing an annoying "thing" at a time, but in FACEIT it was common for basically the entire team to resort to some of TF2's least fun tactics. It ended up being a good showcase for why competitive modes tends to ban certain weapons. If the entire team tries really hard, the game breaks, unless you add weapon and class restrictions.
• Certain cheaters and CZcamsrs created a rather unnecessary panic over the kernel anti-cheat. CS:GO players use FACEIT just fine, but TF2 players are rather gullible and FACEIT is an unfamiliar name to them, making these players easy to scare off with just a few overdramatic statements.
• Rather than have the anticheat work like it did in CS:GO, where all players are required to use it... They decided to only enforce the anticheat on players with a supposed high risk of cheating. This only ended up frustrating people since it would often select completely random people. If it just told everyone to use the anticheat, less people would have cared.
• Overdramatic videos about the supposed "competitive" nature of FACEIT ended up scaring potential Casual players away from the service, which only made the problem worse rather than better. It would be better if people were civil and provided ideas to solve problems, rather than needlessly whining.
• FACEIT were very, very slow to address the issues. They are apparently working on it, but even if they pushed an update now, their first impression was ruined by these issues. They'd have to do a No Man's Sky styled redemption arc.
• Uncletopia pretty much does what FACEIT wanted to do anyway.
It's a shame. This is probably one of the biggest missed opportunities TF2 has had.
So face it failed?
Ya
I'm still baffled at the decision to add prizes into the casual pool anyways
Uncletopia is still the goat tho, it's given my friends and I the ability to have some great games
unfortunately scream fortress is still locked to official servers teehee I hate harvest event
Dude, you hit the nail on the head with that first point, why are you trying to justify yourself "oh it's the fault of the community, they weren't happy with the platform's problems, why don't they do our job instead of whining" because it's YOUR JOB, not mine! And if the community's suggestion were taken at face value, you would quickly recognize that they're not good at it! The only one responsible of this failure are the creators, no matter how "insensible" and "overactive" it could be, if those problems are not fixed, I leave and do/play something else, simple as that, this blunder rest upon their shoulders.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Bots filling in for leavers reminds me of CSGO. Specifically, we were in a high rated casual match and someone crashed. So a bot filled in and instantly rushed in and donked 3 ppl and won us the game. Good times.
Damn CSGO bots are intense
Imagine a bunch of players being friendly in a server and then the bots (not cheaters) kill every hoovy of the enemy team.

I really hope that valve doesn't add bots to casual to fill in slots, it will ruin it for spy. Bots cant be trickstabbed in really any way, so multiple of them would basically erase chainstabs.
Yep bots ruin spy
@@aimboat709 but bots suck at figuring out who the spy is...
have you never played with them? they are completely oblivious to any disguise at all and can easily be backstabbed, and since they have slow registering, you can probably get a chain stab before you need to escape
@@jockeyfield1954 Yeah but if you're undisguised for more than a second they know your location in real life and send the fucking Terminator after you.
Quit trying to facestab players and get better. Bots would help casual immensely and just because you can't 1 hit insta-kill them from any direction with your dumb broken class and hitboxes doesn't mean that they shouldn't exist.
@@thwoc. comprehensive guide on how to never get "facestabbed" again
step 1: don't walk towards the spy, and if you're chasing them, still stay out of melee range.
step 2: if you have to melee, don't. backpedal away.
congratulations you have graduated with a masters degree in countering the entire spy class. they are the worst class in the game. I would give advice on how to actually win the melee fight but that really needs visual examples.
When ever I have random cries off, I just end up missing being able to run at a pyro with my ham then win because I did 195 damage

Imagine you play with your friends and 3 months later you guys go on a road trip with a faceit car lmao
I still think Random Crits on melee weapons should still exist at least. for that sweet horror of an engineer denting your head in with a crit wrench
Maybe adding a vote option for enabling/disabling crits would be ok
this aged like a fine carton of fresh milk
So to clear up some bs from this video.
The AntiCheat seems to work, which is amazing, great job. HOWEVER.
The FaceIt "casual" IS NOT CASUAL. The timer mode on payload maps sucks, it makes the games really short, but it is a nice idea, so maybe just tweak it.
Because of all the prices and leaderboard bullshit theres so many sweaty tryhards. Not to mention you cannot leave the match without punishment. I just wanna play, not have to deal with ladders and shit. Also, as mentioned, ONLY 9 MAPS.
You're either on the winning team, or the loosing team, there's no in-between.
Now it might just take time for the ranking system to properly asses everyone's skill level and start matching properly, so this might not be an issue anymore in few weeks, but for now ballance is a serious issue.
The prices? HAHA, ONLY IF YOU BUY THE MONTHLY PREMIUM. The FaceIt points you get on free account are pennies, you get points only from completing missions and the missions with high rewards are locked behind premium. So unless you plan on paying the monthly premium, or plan to sink in MANY hours, don't expect to get any prices for a long time before you save up.
Overall, while FaceIt sells this as "casual 12v12", it is not. It's what a competitive player with 5k hours *thinks* is casual.
Also the anti-cheat is a root-level anticheat that doesn't let you use VMs, so if you run a hybrid machine or run a virtualized machine you can't use the client. And if they get hacked, well, say goodbye to any secure stuff you have on that PC.
The one response that should actually be pinned.
im pumped to give FACEIT a try once its available to the public. i hope it doesnt crash and burn like other projects have in the past.
faceit has been a very good matchmaking alternative for cs:go players, i'm sure it will be the same for tf2
@@pespsisipper I mean, if it kicks off and does very well, it would probably become THE way to play casual Team Fortress.
Well, since McVicker already knows about it, you can expect him to dig his claws in, try to take over every last aspect of it, and eventually make it a toxic shitshow.

@@vincentdolente7053 the fact that you have to send photo id is scummy but i tried faceit myself and it is not a scam dont know what your trying to prove here if you did get your items stolen then it may have been a fake faceit site and that is your fault

"Except RIP pan and Skullcutter"
It's almost like Skullcutter has no breathing right to have random crits in the first place and this makes that horrendous, god awful weapon a little more fair for a change.
Ah yes, the 234 damage crits, istg that weapon feels like it has way more crits than other melee weapons
You're salty.
it's still possible to oneshot soldiers with the skullcutter, it's simply play demoknight with the targe or splendid screen lol
Three chance of random Cris increases for how much damage you've done in one life, or something like that, so the skullcutters increased damage increases its crits as well

Solar light huge fan but you clearly didnt address the issues of faceit and only talking about the pros. The biggest problem being that the site does not cater to casual play...
isn't this literally about casual play?
It’s a sad state of affairs when Faceit puts more effort into TF2 than valve.
Some people take care of children left by their parents that didn't give two freakin' fucks about feeding them... Face It is doing something for TF2 that Valve has never gotten interested on doing.
Faceit is a company at its core, money is always their first goal, faceit isnt doing it for the "community" or their " love for tf2", they do it for money, for example literally the first thing you see in faceit tf2 is a premium subscription, i recommed zesty jesus's video for more info.
@@deadalind728 Didn’t say otherwise. What I did say, however, is they’re still putting more effort into this game than valve is, regardless of their motivation.
@@purplehaze2358 to be honest you are not wrong there, although i cant help but feel like the "effort" is like putting trash in the trash can but not putting the garbage all the way "in". The matchmaking is fucked, flat out, it feels like competitive but they just uped the player count it doesnt have the charm of the original "casual" tf2. The anti cheat sucks, you can literally search " cheating in tf2 faceit" on youtube and there are already videos about that, its not that they didnt put effort, they aboslutely did, they aked competitve and influencers about their thoughts, but i cant help but feel like they put too few effort.
I actually don't like how Faceit has been working on thos new "casual mode" replacement. Its a horrible mix of competitive mode and casual mode, its not fun ngl.
I found faceit to be pretty fun but my problem is that it is hard to find a truly casual server and most of the ones are pretty competitive
sus among us
Just to be extra clear to those who need it, this is Casual mode, not competitive. Also, please read the description for some updates as well as my thoughts on Zesty Jesus' videos about the matter.

aged terribly
Why? What happened
@@maulanaazhari4421 Basically Faceit doesn't know what casual TF2 is and did a lot of back peddling to not call what they have competitive, basically they tried to create casual TF2 to capitalise off of the Bot pandemic, but they ended up just making a competitive seen. Also that Anti-cheat is something you download if you have been reported like ever, if someone got pissed at you and reported it you have to download the anti-cheat. Also it's incredibly hard to remove from your PC, they also use it to collect data (not confirmed but it is incredibly likely). They are just a bit shit overall, you are better of just playing the game as is or going to community servers like uncletopia if you want a similar gameplay experience to a casual TF2.
instant click :I any information i can get on Faceit its just an instant click....
And now no one use faceit anymore because it's hot garbage
Hey Solar, i think (if you're looking for video ideas) a great video would be, "A demoknights guide to dealing with Sentries and Pyros" because we've all seen you do that really cool thing where you spin on top of a Sentry and mess up it's tracking, but i'd love to see how you deal with pyros, and this would really help a lot of aspiring demoknights to learn how to face their (arguably) two biggest counters.
Summary: "It ruins casual based on what a handful of people on Reddit want, and bribes you to play it anyway."
Me: "But does it prevent bots?"
Summary: "Actually no, lol."
Really excited for this! Already started trying to get points from other games
shit didnt age well.
4:55 "and then they did nothing else" is a lie. Other things include chat rate limits for pay-to-play players, chat filters, vote kick rework, fixing spectator exploits, allowing enabling/disabling of chat, fixing retry exploit, changing report system, changing report system again, fixing player name exploit, fixing team name exploit, and a new mute dialog.
Now it's definitely true that Valve is not doing as much as they could be, but don't claim that all they did was take away f2p chatting and nothing else, because that's simply not true
imagine defending valve for their lack of actions, they did all of this, and it still didnt change a single thing when it came to bots, allowing chat to be enabled or disabled is something that shouldve been in the game day 1, same with filters, chat rate limits. and mute dialog is irrelevant

@@jaiden1121 "they did all of this"
Bitch the only thing they did was minorly assist against the bot spamming for the hell of it, which was a _pro._
They've been avoiding focusing TF2 for a while, because it is not in their interest. It isn't entirely Valve's fault for these douches taking advantage of the situation and hosting bots while Valve takes a break/retires.
Oh hay it’s naleksuh
In short, all they did with every single change was make it so that the bots can't be racist, because _that_ was their personal takeaway from the Kotaku article.

Me: Joins FaceIt server for some casual fun
SolarLight: *Joins the server*
Me: Gentelmen, synchronize your death-watches
Creators has a couple of full servers 24h/day and usually 3 full regional servers in the evenings. It may not be literally full but it's still fully playable.
Was no one going to tell me you can trimp in Mario kart wii
The way I would personally rebalance SOME melee weapons after their nerf of no-random-crits is to take what the average damage would be, considering 15% chance to random crit, and using that. So the scottsmans skullcutter would deal a little over 101 damage instead of 78.
Always a good day when a Solar video comes out!
This sounds soooo amazing !! I've been using faceit alot on csgo but to have it come to tf2 is simply unbelivable
No random critz means there’s no reason to use several melee weapons like the third degree or the holiday punch
holiday punch can crit from behind, and the third degree sucks lol
@@applesyrupgaming it’s the only straight upgrade in the game
@@bennnymiddleton40 that just makes it the only straight upgrade that sucks
And its dead. Good job.
0:42 Thank you SolarLight tf2 for killing sex-offender, sex shall be safe from being offended from now on
Played with you today it was the most fun i had on TF2 in a long time
No bots and no random crits
People who hate random critz are also the people who take casual mode way to seriously
Someone lying and claiming it's casual again.
You've gotten a lot better at editing!
people: enjoying a tf2 game
solarlight: im about to end this mans whole carrer
honestly, I don't really want to go over. I LOVE the fact that they show interest in the game, but it's just a supposedly better competitive mode. I've never been much interested in comp.
I don't really know how to properly put it into words, but I can try. I once heard someone try to explain the reason people play tf2 still. It wasn't the weapons, it wasn't the movement tactics, it wasn't the bugs, it wasn't the hats. It was the randomness.
Think about it. When a new FPS game comes out, how long do you play it for, on average? You normally play the story mode, then go play in the multiplayer, if it has one, and then you eventually get tired of it, and put it down. And everytime you try to pick it back up, your average play time goes down, and down, and you play it less and less often. Why? Most of the time, people will say because it's boring. They say that every match up goes the same way. Either someone get's an overpowered gun, or an o.p. power up, or something like that, and goes on a tear, and kills everyone and everything.
But, when people put tf2 down, they always seem to come back. Sure some of the mechanics may be a bit flawed, cough cough melee cough cough, but the game is fun to play. When you think about a funny moment about tf2, you probably think of something really silly, like when that stock fists heavy went on a rampage, and killed half your team, by w+m1-ing at you with his fists and getting random crits every other hit. Or maybe you think of the time the entire server went friendly, because some random hoovy travelled the entire way to the enemies intel, and started dancing on the bridge with it. Or maybe, maybe you think about the time an a-pose, spinning scout capped three times, all by himself, because god damn it, no cosmetic a-pose characters are god damn scary. Or maybe... never mind, you get the point. All of that, was random. It wasn't something that was going to happen, sure it was probably bound to happen sooner or later, but when it happened, that was random.
That's why people play casual tf2. Because of the randomness. And what faceit is doing, making a "casual" tf2, which is basically comp, they are removing randomness. Now, some people will like it, probably the ones that play comp more than casual, and that's fine. But personally? I think I'll stick with good old wacky tf2, the only game where one dancing player can cause an entire lobby of 24 players to stop shooting each other, and have fun dicking around.
It's 12v12 casual mode. Not sure where the comp misconception comes from.
@@SolarLight It's got a ranking system.
Edit; and when I say better comp, I mean less wait time to get in a match.
I agree, I'm pretty sure higher level faceit players will just start banning people being friendly or using weak strats (demoknight, playing spy, etc.) at some point
@@ayhan4472 ... Demoknight? Weak? have you ever heard of SolarLight? Spy, weak? Have you seen Mr.Paladin?
Thats me at 3:20 its so cool to see myself in a video by solarlight and see myself in a small clip (even if it was him messing up)
I hope this can make tf2 more ''Alive''
no autobalance is SURE to go horribly wrong, and removing random crits throws off the whole melee balance.
I feel like half the moaning about autobalance is for meme value.
The idea of having bots replace players that leave seems worse than autobalance to me.
you and me both
At the end of the day, even if all a bot does is stand still and be a goddamn meat shield, that's still more useful than having literally nothing at all.
@@fusrosandvich3738 no
me seeing "face" in the title : LET ME IN THIS VIDEO RIGHT NOW
2:40 THE MKWII REVERENCE MAKES IT PERFECT
Finally a new video thank you solarlight
I want random crits in Casual mode. it's casual mode
I would take only the randoms crits from the main and secondary weapons melee them there is no need to kill them that way xd This speaks very highly of valve that only cares about its csgo instead of giving a little more interest to the game that held it for a couple of years
upward badwater and harvest i see you´re a man of culture as well
Hey SolarLight. You may not see this, but could you please tell me what HUD you're using? Btw, I love your videos and have subscribed! Keep up the good work.
How they enforce rules against """toxic""" players and whether or not I can play my endless nightmare deathmatches on 2fort and turtlebine with no round timer are the make-or-break factors for me.
All too often, rules against """toxic""" players just turns into blatant speech and thought policing in a video game where saying something factual but controversial is seen as """toxic""" because people get whiny about it and don't know what the mute feature is for. Improved tools for individual control over what you see from your fellow players is the correct approach. Flat-banning anyone who uses one of many buzz words that only FACEIT gets to dictate as 'prohibited speech' is an immediate deal breaker for me.
A lot of why I enjoy tf2 is the ridiculousness of it both in playstyles and meme loadouts, as well as people being loud, obnoxious, edgy, or bickering with each other. Lenny face bind spam and impromtu political arguments-turned-peeing-contests are part of the enjoyability of tf2 memery. For those that don't wanna hear that, great, give them an even more extensive mute system that works client-side, but seems to me FACEIT is just gonna go the approach of "no hate speech" and then re-define "hate speech" on a whim based on whatever current social issues say what words should never be uttered on or offline, which I loathe.
Valve already put in hugbox chat filters, that's MORE than enough. FACEIT demanding players use or don't use certain words or tones of voice in text or voice communication in-game is crossing a line they have no business crossing.
As for endless ctf, I like it because they end up being endless deathmatches that don't really require teamwork. I know it's ironic in a team-based game, but some (according to player stats, *many* ) people just wanna do their own thing in tf2, from a friendly hoovy throwing sandviches to farming kills for an absolutely useless strange weapon like the man-o-war. You can't do any of that in real games where everybody has to pull their own weight or you lose. 2fort and turtlebine are my bread and butter when I wanna relax and not care about whether or not my team is braindead. I can do my own thing for however long I want, and I have relative confidence the other team is doing much the same, so encounters are often either chaotic messes where crazy stuff can happen, or 1v1 encounters thanks to the lack of team coordination on both sides, which gives useless/meme/unorthodox playstyles WAY more value and because you're under WAY less stress while you play your own way instead of a way useful to everybody else on your team.
Any big coordinated teamwork that *DOES* happen on 2fort or turtlebine happens organically. People naturally just come together to help their teammates based on a shared desire to keep the game going for as long as possible, or bring it to a swift end. That drive can result in really epic situations that I've been in many times where things suddenly evolve into really tense all-or-nothing strategies and plays where numerous players are shouting callouts of impending pushes, counter ubers are readied for the sole purpose of pushing back out an enemy uber, well-timed spy sap-rushes followed by a soldier push, or a good old-fashioned engy empire where more than half the team are engineers holed up in one spot, effectively created a giga-chokepoint built out of raw teamwork. ctf and turtlebine turn into a battle of team will. Which team's will is strongest? The team that wants the game to keep going, or the team that wants the match to end? I've been on both sides and it's amazingly fun when neither side iwll budge. That kind of organic and uncertain level of chaos is why I only play 2fort and turtlebine like 98% of the time. I either get a chill memey game full of edgy boiz or dumb surprises, or one of the most intense and enjoyable experiences that (in my opinion) tf2 has to offer.
Just wait for McVicker to somehow WIZARD SURPRISE his way into a high position within the FACEIT team; that hugbox filter is going to turn into law __real__ fast.
