Heavy Updates... Next Week?

[Fail Medic]

(insert post bitching about odd game instability brought on by broken sandvich netcode here)

[Wedge]

Ummm yeah, seriously, two hardlocks since the update.  Not cool.

[Riosan]

For some reason, I can't hear the om nom nom's of the sandwich or some of the background sounds on lumberyard.

:'(

Edit: Also, my version of ravine is "different" from any other servers. D:

[JoKeRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR]

My game is acting all unavailable on me. I blame the superfluous amounts of Heavies.

[CaffeinePowered]

They royally fucked some things up crash wise and sudden death wise, also arena using a competely different config is utterly stupid


Opinions -
Badwater: Good and competent, not amazing, but it doesn't suck either

Mini-gun Unlock: Not as bad as I thought, might depend on what map its on if I use it or not

Sandwitch: Meh, I'll stick with the shotgun, most of the time you're going to have a medic with you anyway

Boxing Gloves: have not used yet

Arena: Have not played, but since it breaks a lot of stuff Im not happy with how valve's put this one out, but since Duck seems to love it, thats what #2 might be set up to do.


Best thing out of this update - removal of the custom tab, hands fucking down beats anything

[ainmosni]

Ain's opinions:

* Bathwater: Seems cool, haven't played it enough to have real opinion yet.
* Steel: Nice to have this map stock because it's awesome but huge.
* Natasha: This might have tactical benefits, I don't play heavy so I wouldn't know...
* Sandvich: funny and handy in arena matches.
* KGB: Cool but moderately useful
* Arena: Cool change of pace but I still prefer objective based matches. Lumberyard is GORGEOUS though.
* Custom tab elimination: best thing in the update
* Timeleft timer in scoreboard: great little touch
* Kritzkrieg tweak: nice
* Backburner sound: nice touch.


All in all a great update, not because of the things that where announced but the custom tab going the way of the dodo made it great...

I haven't confirmed this yet, but based on playing tonight it looks like snipers can't headshot while the heavy is eating a sandwich (or it could just be my terrible hitboxes).  I hope they fix that, because it's the perfect time to put a bullet in their face.

I discovered my favorite part of the update while digging through the GCF. A sound file called heavy_sandwichtaunt12.wav in which the heavy states, "You are a loose cannon sandwich, but you are a damn good cop!"

First, I got that for pl_badwater. I went looking for the bsp to delete but I think valve keeps the stocks in a resource package. So, I uninstalled then re-installed TF2 (bad timing during the update, I think they reserve download space for the folks who just want the update).

Ummm yeah, seriously, two hardlocks since the update.  Not cool.

My game is acting all unavailable on me.

So, after re-dowloading, this is all I get:

I got that or some such error upon launching after the update but a Steam restart fixed it. I also suffered a hardlock last night.

[Surf314]

I crashed 3 times last night.  They are also the only 3 times I've ever crashed.  I'd have to say I like the update though.

Heavy Sandvich Taunts. I just threw them all in there because they are all pretty funny.

[Surf314]

I never realized how many people run away from me until I was tempted with the prospect of slowing them down.  Now that I just unlocked Natascha I think I might stick with it for a while.  It's main usefulness seems to be taking out medics, although it makes it impossible to defeat a heavy medic pair......

Well shit that's a tough choice.

and that is the real point of unlocks.

Except when you get hit by an essentially insta-kill stream of crits from a syringe gun and wonder why you switched. Personally, I'm still using the regular fireaxe, there's a definite trade-off involved.
