12 years

Look at the release date.

Ah right, since the original.

I thought you meant it was the 1 year birthday of TF2 :)

But anyway, in regards to the original being 12 years old, time still flies :p

My bets are on a Wrench that makes things build and upgrade faster, but does 25/50% less damage.

It would help encourage offensive engineers while making spies more deadly, as most engineers will try and wrench a spy rather than switch to thier shotgun.

I think we can expect a totally different weapon to replace the shotgun if the Flaregun and Sandvich are anything to go by, what they'll do with the Pistol i'm not sure, maybe another pistol that leeches the victims ammo on hit and gives the engineer a small amount of metal?

The classes chosen so far have been Support->Offence->Defence so i think we'll probably be seeing the Spy get his unlocks next, with maybe a homage to the guy that created the Spy hoax page.

I've read this mentioned before, and I think it's one of the safest bets for now.

The wrench is quite powerful for melee, it can take out a Spy in 2 hits usually, sometimes 1 if you crit.

And what you said is right, many engineers run around trying to wrench a Spy rather than some shotgun blasts.

Not as funny as the game pointing out your liver and it's a dead fish. :p

I like that mode. I kill someone and out comes springs, hamburgers, and rubber duckies.

[Minifig]

60+ hours on engie for me.. :laugh:

[DrewJW]

Anyone know a console command to turn off the big info bubbles at the start of the round?

I mean I've put over a 100 hours into TF2, I don't need a big ass balloon blocking my vision for 20 seconds explaining the game mode.

One of the admins on my server was talking about it. Basically a file notates how many times you play a map and after 50 times it will disappear. Most of the messages i'm guessing are on the new maps. Here is the answer to your question from a Gamespot thread.

Ohh thank god I fixed it. For anyone who would like these annoying messages gone:

"go to

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\XXXXXXXXX\team fortress 2\tf\media

open "viewed.res" with notepad

change the view number to "50" or higher on each map."

Just me having some fun on 2fort.

Im interested to find out what other people will think the next update will be. And also, what is your ideal update? What would you add to the classes that haven't been updated?

[clx]

i have some broken logic behind who i think is next, i wont bother explaining it all, but im betting on sniper or spy next, but i cant decide which one has more chance than the other.

[Malechai1]

I dont think you get five full secons of crit when you add in the time to switch weapons ('q' buton is the fastest) and the minigun's warmup spin before firing.

shotgun then? theres options. thats all my point was.

I'm guessing the next update will be the spy. They said the goal of the update is to get more people to play the least-played classes. According to this scout is the least played, followed by spy. Since the updates so far have been support-offense-defense, I'm guessing the next one will be a support class, ie. The Spy.
