TF2 update

[The_cranky_hermit]

I haven't minded "worthless" unlocks up to this point. Razorback might be utter crap, but that doesn't mean I need to use it. But chucking jars of piss is utterly lowbrow. Even for a cartoonish game about blowing your opponents up into bloody chunks.

when did this come out? I haven't played in a few days.

[Dem Pyros]

It comes out later today.

I'm sorry... what?

[DaFox]

I really dislike what they did with the sniper and the spy being that 2 of the 3 unlockables replace the same item!
Neither of them got their melee item replaced like all of the other classes did.

[The_cranky_hermit]

I'm sorry... what?

On April 4th, they announced that the sniper's new secondary weapon would be the ability to throw jars of urine at his enemies.

Yesterday, it happened.

[Paradigm Shifter]

Hm... OK. A bit of a weird secondary weapon, that... :shock:

[The_cranky_hermit]

Just wait until you see his melee unlock: Dung fu!

[g00seberry]

Well I hate the way you now 'discover' stuff. Every server has a line of spectators now if it doesn't kick for inactive, just waiting for their unlocks.

I've only got the Huntsman atm, and while it's pretty cool, there's no chance I'm gonna keep using it after the novelty wears off. It's just no way near as good as the standard sniper rifle.

The best thing about the update is new sound files and death animations. The rest is pretty crap, which is such a shame because Sniper and Spy are my favourite classes :(

Watch Demoman get a huge overpowered awesome update now ....

demo man doesn't NEED more power. its got enough!

Sounds like Valve is starting to destroy this game.

Jars of piss...seriously...is this a shooter or a cartoon?

back to CSS for me.

Yeah... it was bad enough when the upgrades started going downhill...but now it's starting to seem just plain unbalanced.

How is Valve fixing the game? - Making items tradeable.

I honestly want them to create an update where you can play with all the game fixes but none of the idiotic "weapon upgrades."

I logged in to play. the new maps is decent. the upgrades appear to be retarded. they had a solid product that they've been ruining.

[DaFox]

So I have to ask after all of this, Am I the only one here that actually likes the direction that they are taking the game?

The only thing that I really really do not like is the snipers cardboard unlockable that ONLY counters the spy, thats so stupid.

Its like getting a weapon that only hurts one or two classes and does no damage to the rest.

At least give it like 20% less damage taken from behind or something so that its semi useful to non spys.

I like the idea of diablo style items with different effects and all that , i HATE the 'random' unlock feature.
It shoud be tied to something , eg. 100 or 200 points gets you a weapon.
or they should do a shop system where points and achievements translate to money and you can buy whatever weapon you want etc.

Yeah a different system would be better, the idle thing is hella stupid right now, half of my friends are afk in idle servers.

[g00seberry]

I hate almost everything they've done in this update, yet I'd be lying if I said I haven't had shit loads of fun since it's come out. Any update just helps breath new life into it.

And surprisingly, the jar of piss has come in handy.

[DaFox]

Jarate is the most useful item along with the cloak n dagger (if it suits your play style)

The bow is tons of fun too.

[infernus]

No, you're not. I've actually found the new update pretty exciting and the game is still hella fun to play. The new weapon unlock system needs to be at least slightly less random, and I think Valve has realized that (hopefully). Haven't found Jarate yet, but it sounds quite useful. Maybe if everyone stopped thinking of it as a jar of piss and started using it simply as a tool...

[The_cranky_hermit]

The problem is that it *is* a jar of piss. As opposed to something more in character but with the same functionality, like, say, flashbangs (which amplify damage, interfere with spytech toys, and douse flames).

[Tanuki]

If a jar of piss is in a vat of piss is it still a jar of piss or a jar in a vat of piss?
