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:

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.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.

      Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.

      That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.

      Arkane, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine might be on the chopping block too.
