Damn, that's a shame. But I suppose there wouldn't be that many uses for it now, would there?

What, is this true?

Damn, it would be perfect if others were thinking that a train stomped you.

Not as much as medics that refuse to heal anyone other than a single heavy.. but yeah, it is annoying when you give ubers and they don't do fuck all with them. I use the kritzkrieg so I have to be careful with my kritz - when I give it I want my buddy to destroy everything in sight. This is usually the case, because you can't go far wrong with that many critical rockets/grenades/bullets.. but sometimes I'll kritz a soldier or demo and they'll somehow not kill any of the enemy team, then he (or we) will end up dieing soon after. I've had better kritz on a scout with F-o-N than on some soldiers/demos..

I know what you mean. I was playing today as medic healing my team when somebody joined and became a medic themselves. Having a kritz ready I put myself behind a heavy. He put himself behind the same one. I told him to heal others since half the team was screaming medic right in front of him but he went on healing this heavy like the dope he is. God i hate medics like that. I had to run around healing my team with a kritz ready in hand not being able to do anything about it.

Would anyone be interested in getting a proper server?

I'm sure there's plenty of Newgrounders who play TF2, even outside this thread, so I'm sure there could be people in the server even without the random people you'd get (if there was enough people in there in the first place).

Servers seem to be about £20 a month, we could all chip in and bobs your uncle cheapo-cheap.

I do good?

Impressive, but I assume you've been on the server a hell of a lot longer than the rest of the people there, lol :D

Actually no, and it was an arena server that switches maps and resets stats every map.. also..

Yeah, whats worse is when I am about to burn to death(1 or 5 health left) and an idiot or the person I am healing takes the medkit while he/she is getting healed, and I die. Good thing they say "WTF WHY U STP HELING ME? U R WRST MEDIC EVAR," but why take a fucking medkit when you are being healed while the medic is about to die(either by 1 shot with the worst weapon in the game or burnt to death)?

Unfortunately, it was when they almost were at full health and I had 1-5 health left and was still burning.

The Falcon update! Seriously, who actually has a Novint Falcon. It's as cool as hell, but $149. Plus I can't get it as it isn't out in Britain.

Steam Servers seem to be really slow, so the patch my take ages to do. Mine forgets about updating entirely.

Hm, I've never heard of it but it certainly seems interesting. It would be annoying holding your arm up whilst playing though :/

The update has quite a lot of good fixed and tweaks, I'm happy about the changes to the dead ringer and the huntsman.

Sorry but can someone list the changes in the update? I never know where to find this out.

On steam, right click a game in the games list and select View Update News and it shows the latest update notes, plus a list of past updates.. you can select them and they show the notes for that update too :P

Here's the official Steam update page.

I'm loving the changes to the Dead Ringer and the Cloak and Dagger though.

Also, I see they fixed the spy model issue (occasionally I used to see a glitched-out version of the Cloak and Dagger instead of the Dead Ringer) and also the uber-spy problem.

I saw a fair few spies randomly with the Uber skin instead of a disguise, which of course made them ridiculously easy to pick out.

Also, the fact that the Dead Ringer can now be refilled with ammo (yay) and also only loses 40% of its charge make it much more useful again. And the CnD now refills faster, which is good.

Added an option to the advanced multiplayer menu to select left or right handed view models

Oh that's FUCKING AWESOME!

Fixed a bug where a spectator's wearable items could be seen floating around the player they were spectating

Lol

Fixed a bug where a fake Spy hand would appear on the screen of other players

Seriously?

Custom death animations now only play 25% of the time

Why did they do that?

Removed refract from water ripples caused by bullet impacts for performance reasons

What?But TF2's engine is old, how could a PC possibly have the slightest problem with graphics?

Added log entries for player extinguished events using the medigun, jarate, flamethrower and dispenser

Oh, that's cool

Sniper

Critical arrows now have a trail and correctly deal enhanced damage

Nice

The Huntsman now defaults to be right handed

And l was wondering why the hell did he hold it with his left hand since he holds the kukri with the right...

Friendly arrows will no longer trigger the near miss sound on you

Lol, it was kinda scary..

Fixed several sources of floating arrows

This is useful....but they forgot something: when l see a jarate thrown (or when l throw it myself) l can't see the piss explosion...

Spy

Fixed disguised Spies occasionally looking like they have invulnerability, instead of the correct fake Spy mask

Yeah l had that problem once.

Disguised spies will no longer lose their disguise weapon when they interact with a weapon locker

Oh

Fixed a bug where the spy's watch would randomly change models during play

I had that.

Fixed uncloaked spies flickering in and out of the cloak effect when taking damage

Same

The Cloak and Dagger now always regenerates at its intended rate. Previously it only regenerated at the correct rate when the spy was cloaked

Hm

Increased the Cloak and Dagger regeneration rate slightly

Good...but l don't really care since l don't use it..

Capped the rate of energy loss from moving faster than run speed (falling / air toss) while cloaked with the Cloak and Dagger

Uh..?

The Dead Ringer's cloak consume rate has been slightly reduced, giving about an extra second of cloak time on a full meter

Awesome!

Emerging from the Dead Ringer's cloak now drains up to 40% of the cloak meter instead of 100%. This drain only happens if the meter is at least 60% full

Double awesome!

The Dead Ringer's cloak meter can now be regenerated from ammo sources

Triple awesome!

The Ambassador now only crits when fully accurate and no longer penetrates enemies

Aw fuck what does "fully accurate" means?
Isn't it supposed to get headshots for crits?
And why did they remove the piercing, it made sense and was an unique feature...

The Spy can no longer change weapons from the knife while shocked by the Razorback

YEEEESS!
Hahaha, no more headshotting >:)

Force-A-Nature & Flamethrower air blast knockback effects no longer work on disguised spies

Ah well

Fixed disguised Spies showing the wrong teleporter effects when using an enemy teleporter

Ok, so there are lots of changes, and l agree with most of them...also, they said something about increasing the .vmt files for official maps..what does that mean?

Also, l had an epic Demo run.
3 of the 4 dominations that you see here were at the same time.Map was hodoo, defense, stage where there is a long, straight tunnel and then an open area.
That tunnel made my day.

Yeah, though I dunno whether I can say it, seeing as I've been a pretty shit medic buddy myself some times.

You know who can be a bad medic buddy? SpeedMetalSandwich, he always runs away from me when I'm healing him as pyro, which often leaves me to be raped from behind by pyros or spies :(

But he's getting better :)

Teach me how to not suck.... in general.

Yeah, ever since i learned that the airblast can extinguish players we're having less trouble ;)

I sometimes forget that, to my detriment. It doesn't really make sense, blasting somebody with flammable gas to put out a fire...

But that guy I was talking about who wouldn't go out into the bunker into the sentry fire before uber still pisses me off. Considering every other person I've worked with (who knows what they're doing) realizes that they're going to have to run into a heavy or something before a good medic would hit it...

I mean, he was just sitting there, telling me to hit it. During that time, a kritz demo or some other horrible thing could happen.

I bet that if he was in the Normandy Invasion in WWII, he would have just stayed in the fucking boat rather than jump out.

That's slightly smart, although he would have been mowed down by machine gun fire, depending on were he landed...

LOL. New update. I lovw these changes.

WOOT. PERFECT.

YES, there was a need for these changes.

Happened to me once too!

Ha. Funny.
It is very good the fact that spies are no longer affected by air blast.

But they're so lighty flighty flakey, but they'll go where the party takes thee.

+1 cookie for spotting the reference. Cookie may be eaten before you can guess.

- Fixed a bug where the spy's watch would randomly change models during play

I reported this to Valve. I'm a god. Or not, w/e.

Love this update and what they did to the spy watches. Now all we need is better backstab detection, hurrrrr.

I reported this too. I thought it was an isolated case, but clearly not.

When i (rarely) play Arena, i send bug reports saying that the way they sit players out and bring them back sucks, and to fix their backstab detection.

there are infinite tutorials, just search on YouTube, TF2wiki, Uberchanrged...

Also, my mother took my wireless mouse because she thinks that it's broken so now l have to play TF2 with my old mouse, which is a pain in the ass..l am having a hard time playing medic, and l don't want to talk about the other classes...

heh, turns out that the mouse WAS broken so we get a new one for free!
Woo!
Also, l downloaded a bunch of other models and skins...
Now the engie's wrench is a hammer (seems logic since he whacks his sg...), the scout's sandman is a tennis racket (oh yeah!), the sniper's kukri is a boomerang (that's a must!) and the soldier's shovel has the Imperial Guard logo on it (that's a simple skin but it looks good)
I would like to download this but apparently the model screws up when you get ubered :(
Oh yeah, and l replaced the demo bottle with a square Jack Daniels unbreakable bottle.

LUL.
This is crazy. Very funny things.But the funniest is a soldier wearing a Space Marine armor and a scout in the suit of a tyrannid and the soldier huts the scout with the hammer and the soldier falls and the scout spits upon him and then there is a big affiche saying WARHAMMER 40,000 Dawn of Team Fortress 2.

This is fake but there has to be smth like it on youtube.
