official Team Fortress 2

well that breaks consistency across their games, that'll mean you'll now have 2 steam id's instead of one?

It's really the same ID, just a single character difference in the beginning (pre OB games have STEAM_0, OB games have STEAM_1)

Turn on Vsync. You'll get silky smooth gameplay online if you have capable hardware.

There are only three classes that have been updated with unlockables: Medic, Pyro, and Heavy. The Engineer received a minor update to his buildings so they can have levels. The other classes will get their updates soon., with the Scout's update coming within the next few days or weeks. At this rate, we can expect this game to have plenty of life left.

A good place to get some TF2 information is http://www.tf2wiki.net.

Thanks for the help.

I was cracking up when I saw the pyro's fireball taunt. And even more so when I found out it could kill someone. I really enjoy the dev team's sense of humor.

Tuesday I'll bet, just like with Meet the Sandvich.

Wow...Hitting baseballs at the other teams? WTF

[Pajter]

Can't.****ing.wait. :D

[Doli]

The Sandman can stun ubered people... People wont like that. I play on a server where this guy plays nothing but heavy and all the medics hang around him racking up points not caring for the rest of the team. This will make things interesting.

[ViZioN]

Haha I can't wait to stun slow heavies :p

[Denis W. Veteran]

LMAO. It was only a matter of time before baseballs made their way into TF2. :laugh:

So let me guess. Alt-fire is to toss a baseball in front of you, then you left click to launch it?

Yeah, this is a more than welcome addition. In addition to pyros being able to compression blast apart uber pairs, this will bring some balance against smartass heavies and medics who like to do nothing but uber and kill.

LOL! That will be great!

stunning the living crap outta anybody dumb, slow, drunk, mute or Australian enough to get in the way.

Valve!

Just kidding, I still :wub: you.

Edit: The whole thing reads like the shamwow infomercial, I wonder if they made it so that during the freeze cam, the scout would say "Are you following me camera guy?" (It was suggested and apparently they liked the idea)

[Matthew S.]

Haha I can't wait to stun slow heavies :p

I think I'll be annoying snipers with it on 2fort lol

[Black Flash]

lol I'm really looking forward to this update, too bad it has to be so close to the killzone 2 release date. I like the baseball idea so far.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

So it seems they changed all the Steam ID's back, it must have been a bug (or enough people bitched)

If they record that as a freezecam taunt, I'm gonna **** my pants laughing :laugh:

About the baseballs, two comments:

- Think it'll be possible to compression blast a baseball back at the other team, just as you can for pipebombs?

- To cut down on baseball spam, there should be a delay between scouts being able to throw baseballs. Could be similar to demomen having to charge up stickies.

Probably a lot of people with server stats complained, since they would have to change the steam ID's. Although it annoying since they changed it, then people go and change the stats to the new steam ID's, then steam revert it so they have to change it back again :p

I'm wondering, if you have the bat equipped but not drawn can you still double jump, or can you just not double jump completely if you have it equipped? Because the only reason the scout has any survivorbility is due to the double jump... If it cancels the double jump then this will only be a weapon for annoying the enemies, you probably won't be able to get many points but you could be quite useful for the team if you were good with it.

I sure hope so. I've gotten a lot of good practice reflecting rockets back on soldiers when battling up close. I don't see why it would not work though, I mean it is a projectile.

I expect Valve realised that IDs should be unique and never change and changing them is never a good idea!

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

To be fair, it was just a prefix that changed :p

[Matthew S.]

I thought everything after STEAM_0 was the id and steam_n represented protocol version?

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

That's what I thought, hence they upgraded the protocol version and everybody bitched.

Also, 1000 GET.

[Athernar]

Damn these poorly designed stats programs and admin mods. So as they decided to revert the change, it broke my site's stats yet again and so I went and fixed them, only to find my server wouldn't update to the latest revision with said fix.

Brilliant. :wacko:

P.S. It's over one thousand.
