Team Fortress 2 Update Information

[Priran]

Added a small delay (200 ms) before a zoomed sniper shot can get a critical hit

Can someone explain the point of that?

"critical hit" = headshot

Someone was probably using scripts to get headshots while noscoping, this delay wouldn't be noticeable if you're actually using your scope.

You can get critical hits that aren't headshots, sir.

Stating the obvious is fun, but it would be interesting if you could think of a reason why Valve would mean plain old crits in a nerf obviously directed at snap shooting.

Free Team Fortress 2 Update Coming Thursday

Don't tell me they eventually intend to charge us for 'content' updates....

The thing read like a press release, so it was probably noted as "free" to emphasize the fact that Valve is updating the game and not charging a service fee or anything like that.

[Kaisha]

Ah, I see now, my thought process on it was backwards.
(thought the delay was something that occured after you fired, rather than a tiny wait period before crits are allowed after hiting zoom)

[HAcoreRD]

Update tommorow looks "meh". Changes to maps, graphics, and a new one.

Players will still stick to 2fort/Dust.

[Zeno McDohl]

Update looks nice.

Played Mario Kart map today, lulz. Captured the music room and setup a dispenser next to a Heavy. Didn't even need to use a turret, lawl.

The sniper thing kinda bums me out ._. I'm not sure how long 200ms is, but my favorite part of playing sniper was rushing out and taking a quick shot at enemy snipers who just sit around peering at the world through a scope.

1000 MS is a second

so .2 of a second. Something tells me your reflexes aren't that fast.

Is there a BG steam group? i'd like to join if possible (if someone makes one), it would get me into playing TF2 again :nikkei:

[Zeno McDohl]

Update in less than an hour. Wewt.

That's my Steam ID if anyone wants to add me (if it doesn't work, try zeno_mcdohl).

[EDIT] Valve is 30min late so far. No surprise there.

Awesome, thanks!

As long as they leave my beautiful Spy alone, I'm happy. If they make it retard-friendly I'm gonna be pissed. :<

Update is finally out. Only 3 hours late.

[Kaisha]

Anyone try-out the new map yet? (or found a server that's running it)

Still updating here. <.<

[Hitoshura]

Steam needs to update the servers now...

[Zeno McDohl]

Played the new map for a few hours. Not that bad, pretty good for a Spy.

[Hitoshura]

<3333333333 I found a new love, that love is Engineer. Unlocked his achievement and set a new record for 15 kills straight (you all probly don't think that is much) I am pretty damn happy. :D

[Kaisha]

New map is horridly unbalanced with 32-player insta-spawn.
(which I guess really isn't Valve's fault since those go outside the standard server rules)

Could never get a full capture going because it's just too fucking difficult to try and coordinate attacks outside the enemy base to cap their point on that mountain, so they always ended up in Sudden Death.


On a random note, Pyro kicks bloody ass in the map. So many tight corridors. <3
(as well as the sizzling action that now happens)

[Priran]

Flamethrower physics feel like they've been tweaked. Not perfect, but they're a lot better.
