As most of you know already, the TF2 starting menu has gone through a major change.
Many of you are already assuming that this will revert the previous situation where community servers were much more difficult to find and that we are now free to implement whatever changes we want such as no-crit and no-spread.
But it is still too early to tell if this is a positive change. With the introduction of ranked, we will forever be at a disadvantage in this aspect.
Even though our servers are filled to the brim right now this may not last forever. Yesterday I just bypassed 3 server crashes which Valve will probably eventually fix, and there are people complaining on Reddit that they want official servers to also be included in Casual Mode. The last time people complained about official servers being removed from the browser, Valve backpedaled in a few days.
And finally "Casual Mode" may still be subject to the old quickplay requirements. It certainly seems like Valve still intends for this mode to still be as close to regular TF2 as possible.
