2 kids I babysit (3 and 5 years old) like playing TF2 on my laptop.

For now I just let them play on training maps but I'll unleash them to the world very soon.
(tyler_rocket_shooting for letting them figure out basic stuff, tr_newbots or tr_arena_rc2 once they feel like shooting something that shoots back and moves)

Soldier is probably the best for learning how to aim. Pyro for learning movement
(might seem like a bad idea to make them play Pyro but I've noticed all other classes just make them stand still while they aim at things. Pyro forces them to move around while they aim. it's also the easiest class in the game to figure out. And they'll learn wm1 isn't always the answer once they start running into heavies and sentr nests)

Haven't let them play on online maps but I'd probably go with instant respawn servers on hightower, 2fort, mariokart, etc. You want them to move away from those maps eventually ofcourse but when they just start out that'll be easiest for them to get into

Looks like another spambot. They're making a return. They used to necro old threads with spam, now they make their own threads copypasted from blogs

Either way I can get a better job now so I'm not complaining

For headset:
I'm using a hyperX cloud II atm. Got it about 2 weeks ago. It's great so far but I haven't been using them for long. Mic quality is good, the heaphones are very comfortable compared to all headsets/headphones I've had before

For headphones + seperate mic:
I wouldn't recommend a Zalman mic like was suggested a couple of times. I used a Zalman + Superlux HD668B before the HyperX Cloud II

The Zalman's audio was messed up from the start and Windows couldn't detect the device (windows 8.1) so couldn't change anything about it. The clip broke after a month and the mic itself didn't last 4 months.

The Superlux HD668B had very good audio quality but was not comfortable to wear with glasses. Even on max size it sits quite tightly on my head which pushed my glasses into my skin pretty deeply. Had to switch to earbuds after a while because I was afraid of getting scars from it. Without glasses it's still noticeable but not as bad. I'm basically average height so it's not because my head is abnormally large
If that's not an issue for you I'd still recommend them as a budget option. You'll never find better headphones for such a cheap price. After looking around a bit to compare prices I found some for 20 euros

-noforcemaccel -noforcemparms -noforcemspd stopped working years ago. these are placebo
-mat_dxlevel 98 is usually the worst dxlevel for fps. 90 or 95 better if you want to use dx9, but for fps 81 is best
Pretty sure -threads doesn't matter depending on specs
don't remember what -heapsize does exactly but I doubt it's a significant difference if you have it in launch options. Graphics configs probably already put it at recommended values for fps

Yea with VTF crosshairs a lot is possible today but it's not that big of a task for them to port over some of the cs:go settings. There already is a gap function for the open cross (with or without dot) but it doesn't work properly. Not sure why they decided not to implement it but afaik nothing about the source engine is holding them back

Also currently resolution has a big influence on crosshairs so using a low res like 800x600 or 640x480 makes some crosshairs a mess so using a low cl_crosshair_scale often doesn't work out well with low resolutions. This is an issue HUD elements (HUD crosshairs) don't have

Also on the subject of crosshairs they should really polish the VTF files. If you've ever looked at the standard VTF crosshairs to edit them you might've seen that a lot of them are asymetrical (default scattergun crosshair, default rocket launcher crosshair) or off center (default sniper crosshair). Also they probably didn't save the VTFs with the right flags because some are very blurry (top of default medigun crosshair) which is never an issue when I make a VTF crosshair with the correct flags checked. Or they used a bad jpg to make their crosshairs

Commands for resizing or recoloring default HUD damage numbers would be cool. Due to how HUD fonts work that's probably harder to make work though

Forever a sub
Never on a team
Playing with friends, that is my dream
For now I'll just pub
I queue, join cp_freight
That spy's running backwards, our engi is 8
All good, just a game
But never pushing is lame
I requeue, cp_well
Oh, this'll be swell
Scouts are abundant, sentries are too
Hello there engies, I'm coming for you
I go soldier, I deal with them all
I'm on a killstreak, I'm having a ball
But what's that I see? I heard it too late
A brass beast heavy was lying in wait
