The trailer is used to showcase the game's art style. Not the movement.
There's a reason why the enemies just run in straight lines. They need some brainless gameplay to catch the attenion of new players. They won't be interested if it's people bunnyhopping around the map at max speed. They won't even know what's going on.
99% of all gameplay trailers are like this. Get people to run in straight lines, pretend it's gameplay while it's actually just showcasing the art.

You'll know what the movement is like when the closed beta is out. No point in complaining about something from watching pseudo gameplay

That sounds like it could be an overheating problem actually. Especially if you've been using it long enough for the battery to be replaced.
If temperatures are too high clean the fans and stuff

You must be using the no explosion script. The no explosion scripts are the same weapon txt files that define the crosshairs so you need to combine the 2. it's pretty easy. In this thread I made a text tutorial (comment #19)

The point of VTF crosshairs is not having to use a crosshair switcher because every weapon has its own assigned crosshair. However I'm not stopping you

Using cl_crosshair_file "" in scripts needs a workaround because it can't be used alongside other commands in a single line unless you use an exec command

Put this in your crosshair switcher script alongside the other aliases
Now make a vtf_crosshair.cfg in the same location as your class.cfg files
In the vtf_crosshair.cfg put

in broesel's cfg/crosshairswitcher/settings.cfg find all the ones you want the VTF crosshairs for
<class>_<slot> "size; color; type; viewmodel FOV or viewmodel off"
Replace the "type" with the "vtf" command
The vtf alias you previously made will exec the vtf_crosshair.cfg so instead of getting for example crosshair3 you get the cl_crosshair_file ""
Don't worry about it execing a cfg file every time. It doesn't cause any delays whatsoever. I used to use a similar script but it didn't use broesel's crosshair switcher. However there's no reason why this wouldn't work with broesel's switcher

looks like you exec something using your class cfgs. Did you use tf2mate by any chance to make your config?

Open one of your class cfgs that causes the problem, look for crosshair related commands (or aliases. If it's tf2mate you're looking for commands like White, Dot, etc)
If you don't find any but there's commands like "exec x" take a look in x.cfg as well

If you're looking to actually use it in-game it is located inside the lawena files
Lawena > hud > hud_killnotices
You can just copy that over to your custom folder and play with it. I'm not certain how updated it is though and it probably won't have some menu stuff

I made an attempt. This was literally just using selection tool on all the non-white pixels of one half and mirroring it. I have not been able to test it since it's getting pretty late here. Send me a pm if it's not working or doesn't look good in-game and I'll improve it (and I'll update the download link here as well for others who want it) :)

You'll have to be more specific. What exactly are you changing?
*If you change the txt file whilst in-game you need to restart TF2. No way to reload that without restarting.
*If you tried to edit a VTF file in paint.net, photoshop or gimp but the file isn't working correctly you might be doing a certain step wrong. Send me a PM if this is the problem and I'll either edit it for you or figure out the wrong step.
*If you tried to add a new crosshair in Thumbnails make sure you also make a VMT file for it (just open another VMT file in notepad. It's easy to figure out. You'll only have to change the crosshair name inside the file and Save As...)
*If you tried to replace a VTF file with another while in-game you'll need to do mat_antialias 0/1 (whichever makes it change values) to get the crosshair if you don't want to restart TF2

If you see the purple/black checkers it's most likely a typo related to the crosshair name in the VMT, VTF or txt file

You can actually just put Broesel in your Lawena folder. the huds are located at Lawena > hud. By default it has hud_default, hud_killnotice and hud_medic but you can add any others you want. That way you don't even need 4plug

I use mwheelup for slot1, mwheeldown for slot2, e for slot3. I made a script that also allowed me to have a viewmodel script and a bind that would switch having viewmodels for primaries and secondaries or not (the "view" aliases) and switching mwheeldown to slot3 and e to slot2 ("switch" aliases). Both commands interacted with the same binds but never reset eachother.
This was not perfect. Especially for roamer/pocket or sniper with smg/cozy camper this could get confusing because I'd have to change class, check what my mwheeldown was bound to and if it was wrong i'd have to press the Switch bind. Made me pull out the escape plan a couple of times instead of a shotgun.

I tried to fix this by finding a workaround for the weapon switch. I wanted my mwheeldown to be "intelligent" and skip slot2 if I didn't have one by using the "invnext" command. The end result worked but if you ever ran out of ammo the script would mess up. So I ended up scrapping the project. I considered the script successful but TF2 itself was too limited. However it was definitely my favorite script to make myself because it was fun working on it. I also hadn't seen anyone attempt to script something like it before which was surprising

Valve was still in there "just take some flat ground and put some props on it"-phase.

Mid is flat ground with some crates and a catwalk for elevated flat ground
Yard is flat ground split in half by crates
Second is flat ground with a catwalk for elevated flat ground (though I've always felt like it's less of an issue on second it's still pretty bad)
Last is flat ground with pipes for elevated flat ground

Also I really dislike pushing second. It's just the combos spamming until someone falls low enough for the med to pop

I don't hate granary but it's not a map I enjoy playing either

Very hyped!

I have a busy semester atm so probably skipping Legacy league and returning in July to play 3.0.
I might go SSF for the first playthrough during the acts and stop being SSF when I'm at endgame. It'll probably be the most enjoyable way to experience all the new stuff (for me at least)

Gather contact info of all the internet people I care about and want to stay in touch with. I'll spread my memes by pigeon if that's what it takes

Though it has been a while since I've tried this I think switching between mat_antialias 0/1 works to reload if you do it like this:

-Do not change the weapon txt file. This is not reloaded with mat_antialias so any changes will only happen by restarting tf2
-Instead rename the current crosshair and rename the crosshair you want
-No need to change the vmt files, just need to replace the vtf

example: in txt file it says /thumbnails/crosshair1. But we want crosshair2 to become crosshair1
Rename crosshair1.vtf to crosshair1_old.vtf
Rename crosshair2.vtf to crosshair1.vtf
mat_antialias 0/1 in console, just make sure the value changes. Can change it back to the original value later
The command should lag your game a bit but then you'll have the new crosshair without having to restart

I believe this is a trick of hud editors as well to reload menus

they don't show up with very low viewmodel_fov values like 0.1

If that's not the issue:
Do you even not see them with something like viewmodel_fov 70-90?
Do you have any old gamebanana skins somewhere in your files that changed viewmodels or particles?

Your logic is way off. You compare the weapons used in the game to the clothes of the players playing it? That makes no sense. It's not like Robin said he wants people to use different unusuals. Robin wanted a more counter based playstyle. Like in Dota where you pick a counter to the other's team composition or buy different items based on the builds of others. It's not like Dota requires no skill at all simply because you counter things with certain picks.
They run a rescue ranger? You run a direct hit. That kind of stuff is what he wanted to see.
Sure, it's not how we ended up playing competitively because it's just not how we enjoyed to play. But it's not like that was too much of him to expect. He envisioned that for TF2. We simply took a different route.
