Black Box and Battalion's Back Up have improved my usual 1.7-2:1 Soldier game to approximately 3-4:1 depending on the map. I've never felt more capable in sustained fights, even with the loss of the shotgun. Who needs the hat, corner peeking SG's still works, so GG at the set bonus.
whats this set bonus you speak of? is it like in diablo and wow? did valve really bring the rpg to the fps?
[/quote]
Yeah man, they have bonuses for wearing the full set of the poly count items for the class. It's novel, nothing overpowered, sort of like a hat getting an equip bonus really. The Solly set reduced SG damage by 20%. Sniper set prevents death from HS's, but the sniper rifle in the set can't HS. The Pyro set is 10% increased movement speed, but the cost of 10% bullet vulnerability. Scout set is 25 more health(at 4 pieces none the less). The spy is is probably the lamest of the bunch, reduced decloak volume, but gain a half second on the "cloak blink time", which sounds like the shimmer before/after the cloak. All in all they're all well done considering the playstyle impact the items within the set have; I hope Valve maintains that balanced approach with the other 4 classes, when released.

So you'd rather 100% of the time get one shot than online sometimes? Ok, brb adjusting CVARs just for you :-*
Edit:
Since last night was the first time I've played since the update here's my reactions....
Scout Stuff:
Milk - Awesome support weapon, I think its also appropriate for it to take up the scattergun, you lose your ability to do heavy lifting, but in turn help others, I think the 75% heal-back might get rolled to 50 - 66% though.
Shortstop - A tad bit OP, I didnt notice any slowdown, but I think its a bit too accurate at range, damage seems pretty spot on though
Fish - Its a fish.....
Group-Bonus - Given your role as support, I think the +25% isn't game breaking
Soldier Stuff
Black Box - I didn't notice any difference from the normal rocket launcher really, it may restore health, but I dont think the -1 Rocket is worth it
Rocket Jumper - I know, you should wear this with gunboats and the pain train!
Battalion's Backup - Seems pretty cool, don't think it stops minicrits from pee and/or reflects though....
Pan - Same shit, different model
Group Bonus - Meh, you're going to be cornering sentries anyway, so whats the point?
Pryo Stuff
Degreaser - Holy fuck the weapon swap is fast, and it applies to everything, I had trouble getting used to _not_ puffing people before swapping to the axe, since usually the puff is used to disorient someone during the swap to the axe. This will likely get a nerf, either removing its air-blast or -25% to actual flame damage rather than just the afterburn
Power Jack - may not crit like the axe, but higher base damage makes up for it, and like backfire said, as long as you are holding it when someone dies, you get health - reflect rocket, quick swap, get health....yea this is getting a nerf to only kills made by it getting you the +Health
Group Bonus - Speed for bullet damage, heavies already cut you down fast, but now you run faster than a medic
Heavy
Gloves of Running - Seriously, health drain? I could see maybe +20% damage taken, but a drain...I guess if you have a medic its fine....
Medic
Vita Saw - Meh, you shouldn't be dying in the first place as a medic, lowing your health is just a bad idea
Sniper
Pee Rifle - The fact it can spread up to 160 for a bodyshot at full charge is a bit much, did it need a damage buff? I did not get jarate often from this, usually if I got hit with enough of a charge, I was dead anyway.
Shield - Meh, 125 -> 150 really isnt going to keep you from dying that much to heavier classes given you don't have the weapons to tango with them
Bushwacka - Very nice, just watch out for flares
Set Bonus - Fair trade off since you can neither give or receive headshots, but my question is, a headshot reduces you to 1HP, if you are already low on HP, do you die or always stay at 1 HP?
Spy
L'Etranger - Seems most useful for the dead ringer since they maxed ammo pick-ups at 25% of the DR's cloak
Eternal Reward - Very situational, also only backstab gets you a disguise, not a knife kill
Set Bonus - Situational, depends on the map, but it seems like it could be brutal with the C&D, but anyone who knows what they are doing is going to be looking for you because they will see you DR and run for the back lines undisguised.
Honestly I think the pyro stuff seems the most OP, maybe scout and the pee rifle as close seconds, I'd put money on valve putting out a patch in the next two weeks to change a few things.
Re: Updates of the Week (ongoing discussion) - Versus - 10-06-2010
eschatos, i'm not talking about shotgun pellet spread. what i am talking about is that, when you fire, invisible dice roll and determine how much damage your shot just did, for every weapon minus headshots.
Re: Updates of the Week (ongoing discussion) - Hobospartan - 10-06-2010
I'm guessing they'll make the airblast on the degreaser to the old way. Fires slower, uses more ammo. At least that's what I think they should do.
Re: Updates of the Week (ongoing discussion) - backfire - 10-06-2010
found it!

yeah, there's really no reason -not- to disable spread, it adds nothing to the game but frustration when you can't fucking kill heavies because all your rockets did 97 damage and you're dead before you can pull out your shotty
btw caff nades with nospread do 100 damage, not enough to 1kill anything at full hp

What a crazy world when I get something I didn't want and you can't get it when you want it XD Wish it was tradeable. I'd keep the hat and probably trade the pan.
