Pyro changes (when i first read this I screamed with joy)
   Flamethrower direct damage reduced 20%. (fuck yes)
   Burn duration reduced (10 -> 6 seconds). (fuck YES)
   Airblast re-fire delay reduced by 25%. (baw)
   Airblast ammo usage reduced by 20%. (BAWWWW)
   All reflected rockets/grenades/arrows now mini-crit. (meeeeeeeeeeeeh)
   Airblasting enemies into environmental deaths now awards the death credit to the Pyro. (cool story bro)
Heavy changes
   Minigun spin-up/down time reduced by 25% (holy shit)
   Minigun firing movement speed increased to just under half-normal (from 80 to 110). (holy SHIT)
   Throwing a sandvich to a teammate now earns a full bonus point (was half a point). (oh cool)
The Chargin' Target changes
   Direct charge hit now does 50 damage + 10 per head (up to 5 heads). (oh cool it does something other than charging now)
   Capped the turn rate from +left and +right while charging. (owned, bitches)
The Huntsman changes
   Removed restriction that arrows need to be aimed before they can be lit by a Pyro. (wowowoowowow)
   Bow can now be lowered without losing the lit arrow. (k cool)
   Changed bow so you can start charging it while you're jumping, but you can't fire until you're on the ground. (fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck)
   Fixed bug where flame effect would get stuck on if you change weapons with a lit arrow. (uh sure)
The Sandman change
   Added a slight speed reduction to stunned players. (sweet, more reason to use sandman)

Oh man, some people will rage, some people will cry, some people will cry with joy, and some will be "wat".

lol @ Caff's steam group announcement.

it got my attention in trine....

Also, Damn.

[PyroZombie]

I don't think that burn duration needed to be reduce but the rest is fine with me, and the Targe Charge damage increase is pretty cool, I like the concept of running my enemy off a cliff.

[backfire]

Apparently some people got this in a mailing list.

Team Fortress 2
New content:
- Added new community map cp_freight.
- Added missing physics models for several items.
- Added jiggle bones to the Sam & Max items, and The Buff Banner.
- Added Crit-a-Cola.

Thing is... cp-freight's in the GCF's now.

So that raises the question... what the hell's a "crit-a-cola"?

Edit

wait, found out.


Crit-A-Cola: Level 5 Lunch Box. While under the effects, damage done and damage taken will be mini-crits

[Reevesith]

Very funny Caff XD

[KarthXLR]

Craaaaaaaaap. These are some heavy changes. (no pun intended)

[CaffeinePowered]

I popped wood over the airblast changes, Kirby/Backfire/Myself will me making life a living hell for soldiers

You can no longer spam rockets faster than the airblast can cycle

[A. Crow]

yeah, they've made pyros airblast bots now.  Congrats, you are now paper, the soldier is still rock.  Watch the fuck out for scissors.

[backfire]

Kirby/Backfire/Myself will me making life a living hell for soldiers

also...

[A. Crow]

also, i can't find the servers...

[beep beep diglett]

crit cola sounds p good

[backfire]

crafted the crit cola first try  ;D

it's pretty cool actually. about 5 seconds of minicrits both ways. Point blank (best case scenario) you can pull off around 140 with one shot. May actually be useful.

Also, pyro's airblast, 132 for reflects XD. Minigun speads are also much quicker. I'm loving this update.

[Luca Shoal]

Hellz fucking yes. I will be so goddamn happy to actually play again when I can get my game running. The minigun, SANDVICH, and Pyro changes are the bee's knees.
