I can't wait to see the other maps and the other unlockables :) Kind of curious as to what they are.

The community map is CP_Steel. I haven't played this one, but the style is pretty cool. You when you cap the points, pathways open up. It's kinda like a cross of Hydro and Dustbowl. There are multiple path ways to each point. Check it here: http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/54183

Anyone else notice in the below screenshot of the new map that the spy is fully uncloaked and not disguised, yet the sentry isn't shooting at him :laugh: Nice little mistake there...

Look at the top of the screenshot, in the center, there's a spy. :laugh:

haha good catch, this was probably done with static actors for marketing.. whoever did it either didnt think of that or hasnt played the game enough...

It could be because the Spy had only just broken cover from that air conditioner unit and the sentry hasn't had time to react/fully rotate.

Saying all that however, it isn't shooting at the demoman either.

A Heavy Update: Natascha

2ahb7h2.jpg

The second unlockable for the Heavy, Natascha allows the Heavy to slow enemies with her bullets. Enemies taking damage from her will find themselves moving slower for an instant, encouraging them to find cover or deal with the Heavy. Unfortunately, her firepower is somewhat weaker than that of Sasha, so the Heavy will find it takes longer to finish them off. As a result, Natascha's great to use against those that want to get away, like Scouts & Medics, and not so great against those trying to kill you. Heavies that like to jump around corners to surprise groups of enemies will also find it very useful, although it's best to make sure there isn't a Sasha-wielding Heavy there.

No, that's not really the idea. They've said all along that the whole purpose of these unlockables are to change the gameplay and enhance it giving more combinations and different tactics.

You don't think that the Backburner didn't change the game? Before they took the 50+HP away, I think it made a huge difference. I was getting way more kills than before with the Flamethrower. The Pyro was very powerful, to powerful, with the Backburner. Now of course that doesn't matter. But I think it did make teams change their tactics if the opposing team had a large number of Pyros.

But, to that point, I think Valve may have realized this and thus is the reason they're creating this new environment. Obviously we don't know what it is exactly yet, but weather would definitely be something cool and dynamic that adds to the complexity of playing against your opponent. Something that can benefit both teams and hurt both teams.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By +mram · Posted

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
