If you can say something like that, then the game HAS to be brilliant.

I'm liking these new updates. I gotta say, I didn't care for the scout ones. I don't have the Bonk energy drink unlocked, so I'm not sure how effective that is, but the new shotgun seems like a bad alternative to the original, as does the new bat. Not being able to double jump just doesn't feel right.

Oh well though, I mainly play Spy and Engineer. And with this new update it seems like I'm really going to be hooked as a Spy even more.

I think right now the Soldier really needs to be updated, I'm surprised they haven't got to him yet. They started updating the least played classes first, and I swear the Soldier is the top 3 least played classes.

Little late to the party man.

But yea, Jarate kicks ass.

Bonk is only useful to drag sentry fire to you while teammates take it down, and also to get past *some* choke points.
Also the second scattergun was actually inspired by a thread I have created. And I use it, it can be quite useful sometimes, in fact it's only less effective against scouts.

He is probably next.

There never was a joke, and we've been fooled for over a month now.

Haha Valve.

Dare I say that that was the most effective April Fool's joke ever? (Or at least in my experience of them.)

It's a good escape weapon, I'll give it that, but if you're trying to kill the opponent it's much easier with the original gun. As for the new bat, I dislike it completely except for stunning invulnerable heavies, which isn't good enough to replace if you ask me.

Screw that, Pyros need another update. Our burning powers aren't as efficient as they used to be. With all these sandmen and super pistols, its hard for a Pyro to make that dolla.

i heard it was hard to hold W and left click with absolutely zero effort and coordination and kill everything in 0.2 seconds

Actually with 2 meatshots you can kill almost every class.

Just run at melee range of someone, shoot, as he is pushed back in the air follow him then shoot again. BAM, he's dead.

Exept if he's a heavy or a soldier. (and maybe pyros and demomen I can't tell)

Any Pyro that doesn't use the compression blast is an embarassment.

I suppose you wanted a new rifle?
Valve aren't that boring.
Their weapons might not be conventional, hell might not even be useful, but god they're fun.

A boomerang would have been an interesting touch.

TF2 is 53% preloaded.
With any luck I'll be on in an hour.

Haha, it's funny how much people are crying on the Steam forums about Jarate.

Some people take video games too seriously.

Who else would make throwable piss a weapon?
I thought the dildo in GTA was funny, but this is too much!

Well, yeah, the idea of throwing bottles of piss at your enemies (and friends) is a little absurd, but I think it goes along nicely with the style of the game.

Also, I love how Valve explains why it causes enemies to take more damage; they won't want to live after they've had your urine splashed all over them

Does anyone know when exactly this update is coming?

Too bad I can't since I'm banned.

I've heard that it's coming later tonight. I'm not entirely sure.

So, anybody wanna go to some achievement servers and spam fire when it's out?

Since Valve has stated that the achievements aren't coupled with the weapons anymore, I doubt you will have to do that :P

I believe the statement meant they were wanting to decouple achievements with unlockables. The problem is that people spam servers, hunting down achievements. The new costume gear is set to change that, as you don't need to unlock achievements.

Okay I've preloaded the game. Took all freaking day.

Now it's saying I have to purchase the game to unlock it. I thought the free weekend started Thursday? Any help here?

It will probably unlock when the update comes.

Erm, when is it then?

Maybe the sniper could stab an enemy with it for close-range combat along with long-range combat for shooting an arrow
