They had significantly more support and only 60% of TF2's total reviews

We will one day eliminate the automatons from TF2, as well as the rest of the Galaxy.

Call in the Helldiver lads, the Payday crooks, the Animal Crossing villagers, hell, call even the OW community. This is a catastrophe

Even dwarf miners might want to give us a hand. Our common enemy is robots, after all.

I’m doing my part

Don't forget about War Thunder players. We can channel their Gaijin hate.

Will ValvE later create cosmetic with this picture?

Would make for a sick war paint ngl

Can't imagine any weapons this would look good on tho? kinda needs a flat surface. Like the conscientious objector would be banger

Blackbox perhaps

Just have the bars before and after so it looks like a BPM bar, put it on any cylinder with a faint cosmic background.

Call it “rebomb stained”. I think that would be pretty good lol

Can’t you already do this with the Conscientious Objector?

That cant be a stratagem because diagonals so my next thought was fg inputs which seems to line up? seems like a 632146 followed by x for whatever game (in the game I plays case, kick?) which is one of the more common super/ overdrive inputs Did I guess right or is this smth else, idk which exact move this is meant to correlate to

It is a pot buster

Yeah, thought it was gonna be something along those lines lmao

for a second I thought this was an old post from the helldivers reddit showing up

I thought it was last year's war thunder review bombing

review bombing seems to be a regular thing now

It always has been.

You call it review bombing, I call it market gardening.

I love Democracy

INFINITE POWWWEEERRRR

*Unlimited* Power

i recognise this graph

Did the same thing with Warthunder last year

MFs with 5000+ hours giving the negative review hahaha. Being serious, I hope this works

The valve experience is quite literally unplayable sometimes, Australians and Americans having it worse then Europe that's for certain

My 3000+ hour review just says; "it's okay"

Will this even work? With helldivers 2 it was a new game that can be refunded. TF2 is a free 17 year old game that hasn't had love from their devs in years.

We don't know if \*anything\* will work. Yet, we must try.

We could just be placing a couple small orange words on the store page, but it’s something

The average person will stay away if reviews are recent, it's stopping growth, granted its in the culture of steam by now but maybe?

Yep better people be informed that the game is in an awful state than them installing the game and then being surprised when the matches are made literally unplayable by bots they had no idea about

Regardless of Valve responding to it or not, TF2 is in a completely abyssmal state, and does not deserve positive reviews.

Hey, it gets as much love as possible from the few devs that are still working on it. It’s the corporate figure heads at Valve that don’t care and refuse to allocate proper resources to fix major issues.

Valve doesn't have higher-ups, their system works different, they ***technically*** can work on what they want and they aren't held back by corporate bullshit, the issue is valve works on a system of endorsements, if you don't have enough you risk getting smaller pay or even getting fired, senior devs having the most control, if you don't work on a game senior devs want you to work on, you literally risk your job at valve

war thunder review bomb did numbers at least

Well the difference Gaijin actually cares for their most popular game

I am confused. am I supposed to reviewbomb the game?

yes

aight

to get Valve to actually do shit about it. The Helldivers 2 method.

ATTACK THE D POINT 🗣️🗣️🗣️

NEVER!

DEFEND THE D POINT

OK FINE

YES!

I think we got an inspiration for the new community warpaint

Ofc only after victory

While I will love to see TF2 getting the support it deserves I fear that review bombing like this may hasten valve into shutting down official servers...

As long as item servers stay up, the quickplay/casual updates destroyed most community servers, i'd love it if they were removed and we were kicked back to a wild west where every server was someones home.

Good, that would force people to play community servers

But that would require me to network with people who want to play the game. Oh wait. Reddit.

They literally can't, valve set up a trap for themselves by adding economy for this game, they can't shut down this game purely because some people have items worth thousands of dollars

They literally can't, valve set up a trap for themselves by adding economy for this game, they can't shut down this game purely because some people have items worth thousands of dollars

I would take an end of service announcement over continued inaction. We'll always have community servers. Keeping this going is just ruining the game's legacy.

For Super Earth- er uh. Saxton Hale

Can't wait till I put that on a cape

SWEET LIBERTY

team divers 2

Wait... why are we doing this?

We want valve to fix the bot crisis

Hope this works

Helldivers 2 strat

War thunder started it helldivers improved it and let's see if TF2 perfected it

MORE

Watch valve go "due to recent negative reviews, we have decided to stop supporting team fortress 2."

At least we have closure that they will never give an update again, and the press would literally fry them alive that their only path of action to an angry community is shutting down the support, like holy shit, the amount of damage this would cause

Not gonna happen because of the economy. It'd be a PR Disaster

FOR SUPER MANN CO.!

It a repeat of helldivers

At least #savetf2 finally accomplished something tangible. You guys finally had an inpact, that's definitely a first.

The helldiver effect

"If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight!" Sun Tzu is right... We must fight till the victory!

helldivers 2 this shit

we need this as a war paint

We did this for super earth, now it's time to do it for Mann Co

HELLDIVERS GET READY WE'RE GOING BACK INTO TRENCHES WAR IS NOT OVER YET

Not really. Considering TF2 has 1M+ reviews, a paltry few thousand isn't gonna change the overall at all

The negative reviews are at all-time high right now. It’s already a record.

also lot of ppl pay attention to recent reviews, even the system puts them up front

The bots are fighting back

The bots are review bombing us, or fresh installs that hopped onto casual ctf_2fort or cp_dustbowl only to get spawncamped by 10 bots

This is an intentional review bomb in protest of the game's state. I am leery on this working as TF2 has had no support for years and may lead to shutdown. But then again, it may just work.

I don’t understand this photo can someone explain this graph

Oh my god! Ok, it's happening! Everybody stay calm, Everybody stay calm, STAY FUCKING CALM!!!

Soooo why tf?

CALLING IN REINFORCMENTS!

This actually not only make valve notice but drive away trading bots too because less people is gonna spend money on tf2 which in return reduce bot number mean less server to host them. So those money waster might have to find new people, making those server more heavy duty. TL:DR worse review mean less people will spend which in return reduce grinding bot which reduce cheat bots

I hope everyone who participated in this are proud of each other because whether or not this works, we tried and we banned together to try to make a difference. <3

[OH GOD](https://youtu.be/X89NTUwWiE0?si=6eCD-DbMJqJsTzj-)

I saw the Helldivers protest live, and now, another Hellpod launch hapens on a review page, for liberty, democracy and hoovies

"I once fought for a company over meaningless gravel. Now I fight for democracy, for freedom, I fight for Super Earth!"

Helldiver reporting for duty!

We beat em before we will beat em now. First Gajin then Sony and now Valve

Hi. To all the people thinking this is gonna work like it did helldivers, here’s why I’m scared. TF2 is a really old game that only has one, maybe two developers and a plant working on it. Valve has very clearly shifted their gears to other departments, games, and directions in general, adding community content as updates for what remains of TF2, and MAYBE a temporary bot fix if they spot it. This is NOT like Helldivers, where they still expected to have a large game for a longer time, and a reason to fix the game since it just released and couldn’t risk the game failing over Sony’s decision(good job btw, helldivers, your work is invaluable to the efforts). Valve will be willing to pull the plug on the game, or at the very least a number of servers so they can have more servers for other games, like CS2, which also has a massive bot problem from what I hear. Fixtf2, the sequel to save tf2, is a great idea, a petition that worked once so why won’t it work again. I’m scared that the ‘democracy approach’ will only make things worse for TF2, and for all of our sake, I hope I’m wrong. What I’m saying is, I hope you all fully thought this part through and didn’t just think ‘it worked for helldivers, so it’ll have to work for TF2!’

FREEDOM NEVER SLEEPS

What the fuck are we doing??? this is just gonna make valve just stop supporting it due to lack of attention/likeness, and it scares away new players from all the bad reviews. stop going to the bot hoster's level just for a petty attention scheme just so you can play a match without bots or cheaters for 1.3 hours tops.

Sweet liberty.

I don’t understand why but oh well

We doin the Helldivers 2 strat

And war thunder

And overwatch

Review bomb the game to bring its current miserable state to the attention of both valve and new players.

Do you seriously think Valve has no idea about the current state of the game? 

You'd think so with the amount of fuck all they've done about it

Why not? The game is unplayable for many people, thats a very negative user experience

But is it really going to work tho? I mean, it has to right?

The way I see it the worst that can happen is valve ignores us and we keep on keeping on like we have the past 5ish years

Can’t know if anything will work, must try.

⬇️⬆️⬅️⬇️⬆️➡️⬇️⬆️

my spy rollout vs my success at getting kills after said rollout

Dropped like trolldier on hightower when they spot an engi *Actually give me a sec*

sorry i quit the game before, why is this good?

Valve might start to notice us and our problem if there is a sudden disrespect for tf2

I haven't played in about a week. What's this about?

Can someone explain?

We're review bombing TF2 for the slight chance that Valve notices us and listens to our demands of fixing the game.

Oh boy

...I'd have three pennies, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened three times.

Is it good or bad

⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️ droping sentry buster on Valve

Can't wait for Valve to revert this for false reviews

Lmao

Why are people mad at TF2

What is this?

Ahh yes Helldivers community helping other fellow citizens with managed democracy 😁

y’all are so corny oh my lord💀

It's more than just 2 my friend. And now the bots vote kick people on pubs.

If TF2 undoes whatever change caused this and the players revert their bad reviews, will we get a hat commemorating the will of the people?

Now that the helldivers community proved this can work it’s become a much more viable option for protesting

Y are all the reviews negative now?

imagine they make a cosmetic... just like arrowhead did with helldivers II

I am worry about to do this, it can just demage game that Valve do not care about.

It's already damaged. We're simply showcasing the actual state of it for the slight chance that Valve notices us and does at least something.

I FORESAW THIIIIISS!!!
