official Team Fortress 2

[Mathachew Veteran]

Yep, looks like they waited until Obama's speech was done. Bah.

[Denis W. Veteran]

^^ :laugh:

Damn, nothing more about that new Payload game type. :(

Time to update.

[Blackhearted]

No [working] multi-core support added? Leaving that out alone makes this update a fail update, even with the class update.

[Nagisan]

After clicking Launch for the last 10 minutes......I am finally downloading the update.......at a whopping 50KB/s on a 20mbit connection. :(

Oh well, at least its finally here and I will be able to play in (hopefully) a few hours.

[sundayx Veteran]

Bonk! Trying to get this update.

/250KB/s

[Argi]

Spies can now control which weapon the enemy team sees them holding. Hitting the "last disguise" key while disguised updates the disguise to show the Spy's currently held weapon

That's a pretty nice buff to spies; until people catch on at least. :p

[Mathachew Veteran]

250KB/s?? Punk!

[Denis W. Veteran]

Steam did one LONG hang at "Scanning for Steam games updates..." before starting the update.

It's topping out at 354 KB/sec off the Toronto Steam content server. Speed is jumping everywhere though.

[Scirwode]

Damn, I'm at work. Guess I have to download it at home :p .

[Mathachew Veteran]

Alright, now we're in business. Going much faster, but slowly dropping. It reached 800KB/s, now it's down to 340... :(

Yay! My download finished, but now I have to find a server since my regulars aren't updated.

[Malfunctional]

Holding steady at a strong 9kb/s

Still hoping for a new "Meet the" video

[Mathachew Veteran]

Don't hold your breath Malfunctional

[sundayx Veteran]

Scout farming servers everywhere!

[Andre S. Veteran]

Everyone's playing scout tonight. I played engie on Goldrush and dominated the whole blue team for a while. Until one of them was smart enough to go demo. :laugh:

[Berserk87]

MUHAHAHHAHahahaha

cower in fear of my 566kb/s! :devil:

[Blackhearted]

Lol. Servers crashing left and right since the update. Good job valve.

Yeah, apparently the spies are causing it.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

I woke up late and it had already updated itself.

Also, if you're playing as a scout and getting killed by everybody and not killing anybody, it'd probably a good indication that you're playing the class wrong. The scouts main advantage is his speed, dodge stuff people, don't run back firing at a medic, run backwards, left and right and double jump, the needles won't hit you. The only thing you really have to be worried about is "insta-hit" weapons, i.e. normal bullets (no matter how fast you are, you can't doge those, they're instantaneous)

[Unimatrix Xero]

binary squadron server is updated and ready to go guys, feel free to use it :)

[lalalawawawa]

Finally it is out. :woot:

[Mike]

TF2 has been ruined now.

The stun ball is stupidly easy to be hit with at close range, and you can be dead before you even notice the scout has shot at you with the new gun. Couple that with the amount of scouts about, the game is no more :(

It's the same after every update. Everyone wants the new items. It'll settle down.

It's not really, when the heavy / pyro updates came out it only sucked due to the numbers which was always true if you came up against a team full of heavies / pyros. Now the scout can kill you easily on his own due to the stupidly easy to aim stun ball. The problem won't go away with decreasing number of scouts.

[Ayepecks]

Um, couldn't disagree more. If he hits you with it you're not stunned very long, and the ball reload time is quite a while too.

These items don't seem to be game-changers to me. They're interesting. I don't think I'll use any of them to be honest, though, except maybe the energy drink one if I'm in a bind. The shotgun is interesting, but I prefer the default.

So far the only weapons I'm sticking with (unlockables) are: medic health gun, backburner, heavy sandwich.

[Mike]

I'm not talking about being killed by the ball, fact is scouts are killing people now before you can barely get to fighting them, it's almost as bad as a pyro getting crits and then air blasting you straight after. Unless things change, I have played my last TF2 game where I won't be messing about.
