Guys, read the Steam Forums more http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/announcement.php?f=80 That means 6pm GMT, and 7pm GMT+1. They should have been up 1 hour and 32 minutes ago at 4pm GMT but that didn't happen as they obviously had a lot to do. Sucks I know. Been up since 12 noon wanting to play TF2.
and now the game is fucked... god it lags FAR worse than it normaly does :evil: oh and it stole an item i traded yesterday... nice going AGAIN!!!!
I had some funky spikes too, but i cant find any culprit at the moment, since the others servers are running ok. (same box) i only think that this is related to yet again something from valve since there is no consistency in the issue itself.
Yeah I know you say that but without a Medic it isn't. Which I've just figured why don't we enable it if there isn't a Medic on the team? That would be balanced IMO. Considering there is Mad Milk, Chargin Targe, Dispensers and Medics as healing methods it's not that bad.
I don't know if the " if there's a medic" stuff can be done, and if can be done, well, would be more work for the admin, for a thing that i think, would be still unbalanced. Mad milk is in consideration, but yoo have to succesfully hit an enemy with the milk itself and shoot him to gain life. The charge gives + 15 (if i remember well) for each head. There are no dispoenser, there's no engi. the differences for the thing you nominated are basically : you have to do something that grants you a healing bonus, for the milk is hitting someone with the milk and with your weapon. For the charge is basically chargin people and you'll earn +15 ( usually a lot fo charging demos, don't care about charging a single guy isolated, but charge entire groups of players, so while getting a small healing bonus, they will still be in danger. For the heavy? (mouse 1 for a quick +300 healing, mouse 2 for a sandwich on the floor that should do like +125/150, also taking a small kit when the heavy is full regenerates the sandwich). So no, i don't really think that the healing possibilities introduced by other weapons are comparable to the sandwich for the heavy.
There's also the Black Box Also it is per head that a Demo can get Health easily in Arena due to the lack of teamwork/run around on your own tactic in arena. Anyway my point is I don't think it should be banned just because one person says so, it should go to a vote IMO.
I'm disappointed about sandvitch mates, so I would choose to not use it on this server That's my opinion to get more regular games and stuff.
