Updates of the Week (ongoing discussion)

That may be, but what's the median score? If there are slightly less than half the players required to fill the servers, then we just have to be slightly above median to score players from the system, right?

And we can always improve the score

[backfire]

So I guess there was a huge performance update. Did anyone notice a big framerate increase?

New weapons are full of wat. Engie gets a shotgun that drains uber and cloak, then the pyro gets an axe that hates medics and... a flamethrower that's more W+M1 than the backburner.



New map looks cool though. Double drop rate too.

I like how these new weapons do new things instead of just taking the classic weapons and playing with the stat percentages.

that engie shotgun is gonna get banned from comp play faster than the enforcer.  You heard it here first 8)

pretty sure enforcer is hitscan, unlike new engi wep

guess valve realized source engine can't handle hitscan

well melee weapons still exist so i guess that's a lesson for australian christmas 2012

The manmelter might be interesting depending on the shot speed. If it's anything like the bison though, it's probably crap?

Its not going to beat the flaregun or the shotgun in terms of DPS

Engineer shotgun is broken as fuck, but probably shoots easily dodged projectiles

Engi Wrench, calling it now, will not be instant teleport back to spawn, its going to be like DoTA/LoL where there's a count down to portal out.

[A. Crow]

meh.

the new flamethrower has no airblast, as someone who usually plays soldier, I'm OK with this.

One night I'll take my server off of idle mode and put up foundry if there's enough of us who want to pharm that achievement hat on the new map?



Any interest?
