Changes/Additions
-Improved load times
-Pyro flamethrower range has been improved, and more power added.
-All players equipped are now equipped with flame-proof vests and Pyro-Killer Rail Guns.
-Scout now has more health and can dodge bullets while moving
-Demomen sticky grenades now require glue to be manually applied before sticking
-Soldier rockets now heat-seeking, and cannot hurt the player who fired them.
-Medics and Heavies fused into one symbiotic super-creature; the Medic player merely holds down their mouse button.

-Fixed an exploit in which spies could deceive players with cloaks and disguises
-Fixed an issue that allowed other players to dodge Snipers

Haha, the death penalty is definitely ridiculous after a great play session. I had 68 kills (39 with pipe bombs which has a 1.8 modifier), 35 deaths, plenty of assists and destructions, a few caps, flag events, dominations and topped the scoreboard most of the time and yet ended up losing 54 points.

Hey, I was going to go kill the engie but then the server reset. I will say that I regret not just going out after destroying the sentry and trying to kill him even though I only had like 34 health left.adg1034 said:

Giga has doing an awesome job on that. He had a dispenser keeping him in constant health.
And that round we completely threw away. We had you guys pretty cleared out and were ready to go offensive on the last couple guys when me and Cheeto fell off the cliff at the same exact time. I think you guys had won the last 2 matches and we were finally gonna get some revenge. And splat!

That had me laughing. I remember firing a couple of grenades out at you guys and then I ran back to refill my health and then a second or two later, both of you happened to fall to your death.1-D_FTW said:
It's pretty plainly spelled out. It's not available on its own yet, and it will be $30 if Valve ever puts it out individually. Think of it this way: you get to discover the likely awesomeness of Portal, get to play Ep2, and you get to spread the joy with your extra HL2 codes to get a friend hooked.YakiSOBA said:i just want tf2i already have hl2, chapter 1, etc... and dont care for chp2 and portal..

Damn it. Puyo really is the greatest medic of all time. I'm content with 2nd.

Yeah that was a really fun map (once I learned where the cap points were). What was it called? Ascension or something?Doytch said:Good games tonight. That custom we played before Gravel Pit was pretty fun. Spy was great there.
Too bad I was sucking horribly on Gravelpit >_< I still had fun as always...except the rockets to the face from Hitokage....and burning alive from Tekno.
Storyteller, you were doing great as heavy. Nice shooting on that new map!
Haha, my target priorities are as follows:omgimaninja said:
1) Sentries
2) Medics
3) Teleporters/Dispensers
4) Everybody else
Was having a fairly off night tonight, until we hit the final dustbowl area then I shot up to leading position on the server. I love that part.

Ok so I remember that in TF and in TFC 2forts the capture point was in the top middle area of the sniper nest...
but I just watched a TF2 video and it appeared like the capture point was moved to your teams briefcase.. Is this true?

Hmm interesting..
Also another question... is there any function to the loud speakers out on the top of both the buildings on 2forts?

Meh, I'm having a connection problem with the game.
My roommate and I use the same connection (TimeWarner cable through a WRT54G router. TW insists that the cable connection and the modem is fine, and in desperation the router has the NAT and firewall stuff turned off) Here's an example of what happens: One of us will be playing on a server, and then when the other person connects we both get disconnected. Sometimes the same server will kick us for a few hours, and then later on in the day it will let us both play. It's pretty hit and miss. Anyone have any clues about this one?

I don't really read reviews from any of the major sites anymore, but I did read the closing paragraph of that IGN review and it's pretty crap IMO.
Doesn't have much depth? I know there's been some Gaffers who've parroted this line, but WTF? This game has awesome depth. But it's depth is achieved with teamwork. And it's brilliant for it. To create a game where nobody can play superhero and do everything by themselves is genius. Yeah, each class is limited in what they can do. But in combination with the rest of the team, possibilities are endless. Most online shooters with "depth" just result in one uber class/vehicle that everybody plays.

Why is anyone looking for bots in a team-based online shooter? I'm so tired of that chestnut popping up in reviews of shooters. If you don't want to play a game like this online, then you just don't want to play it at all.
Someday in the far flung future, game reviewers will review the game that's there instead of the one that isn't.

Bots are not working.. yet. They spawn but do nothing.
But they are pointless as the bots most likely will work like DM hide and seek and go for the point. No real strategy behind them on building turrents, coming up with ways to break through the enemy defense,etc.
Also Stats have been reset and are operating again on the servers.

buying the box copy of The Orange Box was a bad idea, it literally is an orange...box.
