do you do any software dev or have any friends in software dev? from what i've always been told, you'd be surprised with all the unrelated shit that breaks with "simple" fixes

Actually, I understand this very well.  I just like making fun of Valve ;P  Trust me.  When harsens or Raven (ESF devs) commit a new DLL and are all "Hey, we just fixed XXXXXX!" we sometimes see unbefuckinlievable crashes that end up being hard as fuck to source (doesn't create a dump, is hard to reproduce).  And ones that sometimes take weeks of testing and work to fix, involving selective enabling and disabling of systems.  Hard work for a small team and people with real lives

Also, @Caff, I'd laugh but you're probably right.

I lit a scout with a reflected flare on basalt earlier.



He didn't die from a reflect flare icon. =|


I hate valve.

I didn't think it showed as a flare kill unless they die from the impact damage?

[Wedge]

I don't see whats so surprising about them getting broken with that patch. 

"Fixed pipebombs not being removed if they explode in a func_nogrenades zone"

Obviously they fucked something up when doing that in the prior patch.

Would make Valve-sense, but I've honestly never purposely stopped applying damage to someone before, esp. after popping them with a reflect.

Yeah, what would I pray for? I send you nice shiny flares when I have low health and you still fail to send them back =P
