This was actually asked for l4d, since some people wanted to track an achievement and not do a whole campaign where they messed up somewhere without realising.. but yeah great.. once we get more achievements xD

I wonder about the stickies though, sounds interesting~
and I'll be sure to admire the smoke when I rocketjump next time~
well.. the upgrading of the dispenser/teleports was bound to happen sooner or later

and I am still a tf2 regular.. I just only play on the warserver lately -cough- yeah.. uh.. hi?

The increased amount of HP healed by dispensers and the reduced CD of teleporters are awesome.

Wow - this is like a mini-major update. I might come back to TF2 to check out how it all works out. Especially the Engi update sounds interesting.

Post subject:  Re: TF2 update installed
screw the engi updates, how large a difference can it actually make?

now.. the improved HUD and the ability to destroy stickies.. now those are changes...

and that the spy now can be cloaked for a longer time and recharge a lot faster <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

- Players will now have some particles swirling around them so other players can see when they are overhealed
Mint's comment : sure why not....

Wow, nice update.

The medic thing is really useful.
And the cloak is better, time to play the spy :D

Post subject:  Re: TF2 update installed
For me, playing as Spy is a lot more fun now. The addition with picking up ammo (and may I add the same with cabinets THANK GOD) to instantly recharge the cloak was a good decision imo.

The engineer updates came as a bit of a surprise to me, but either way I found them awesome especially the upgradable TP's. The dispensers look awesome at lvl3 too. :D

Haven't tried Demoman yet but I've destroyed some stickies someone had thrown out. Kinda neat.
Haven't tried Medic yet either.

Before the patch bullets would just make them roll a bit, now they break apart when shot at.

I think I dont like this feature. :| :wink:

Btw, anyone noticed that players will not always gib from explosives? I had one moment when a soldier fired a rocket point blank range into my face gibbing me but not him. Another one was a scout being killed by a demomans sticky, his corpse flew straight into the air before landing on the ground with a large thud. No gibbing though.

Post subject:  Re: TF2 update installed
soldier and demoman at full health can generally survive a pointblank explosion from their own weapon
Author:  [SpA]Loke [ 12 Dec 2008, 16:12 ]
Post subject:  Re: TF2 update installed
Seems like you misunderstood me. My point is that when the already injured soldier fired the rocket at me, I died and so did he. My body was blown into pieces while his didn't, he just fell to the ground but intact. First time this has happened to me.
Author:  Crovax20 [ 12 Dec 2008, 16:15 ]
Post subject:  Re: TF2 update installed
Hmm he might have jumped while doing it, the rocket damage killed him but because it was a rocketjump he didn't explode?
Author:  [SpA]SonnyBlack [ 12 Dec 2008, 17:11 ]
Post subject:  Re: TF2 update installed
Thats most likely, because Soldiers are always jumping, while shooting, at least the good ones. :wink:

Post subject:  Re: TF2 update installed
Tried the some of the new stuff, except for the spy since I totally suck at that class.

The coloured medic bubbles are very useful since there's a lot of players just spamming E for the hell of it, even at full health.
The engie dispenser is also seriously awesome. heavies will have a very hard time to take out sentries unless they can somehow kill the engie. 70 metal per tick is enough to keep it up.

Post subject:  Re: TF2 update installed
Happened a lot more now, non-gibbable corpses I mean. Seems like it's most noticeable with the demomans grenade launcher - been killed by it as a medic a few times and my corpse flew into the air as a whole. :|
