Team Fortress 2 Update Topic

Optional update came out, fixes strange names not able to join the server. Will be done with tonight's regular restarts.

 

Also, an update page revealing the 8 new promo items for Sleeping dogs.

Revealing a new KotH (Kong King) coming soon!

 

Some pretty cool items. I like the flying cleaver, triad shirt and tattoo's.
I wonder what the new map will be like.

 

It will be a Chinese themed map (new textures and props!) The bottom of the update page reveals the new setting.

(But you'll probably be more interested in gameplay)

 

For a second i was so happy, i thought that sapper will reverse the color of sg, so it will shoot enemies

 

that would indeed be a huge game changer, but also kinda op

 

For the red tape recorder:

That is seriously fucked up...

 

the new sapper has a huge exploit bug.

It does NOT solve the server crash when sapping with normal a previously sapped sentry with red-tape. Or that where the reactions to that effect on the HLDS mailing list.

 

Ah damn, I thought the crash was just due to the fact the game couldnt handle the sentry having to much health for the normal sapper. Huge fail by valve not to fix this then.

 

it had undocumented as well:

 

The medigun exploit came back to living and I missed it
and yeah

WE NEED MOAR HATS!!11

 

Don't worry, a major update will probably arrive soon (which will most likely contain lots and lots of hats).
VALVe added this page to the blog a few days ago. It doesn't say much, but it's most likely do be a teaser to some major update following.

Last time they did this was the crashed rocket that led to the first Grodbort pack, right?

 

Yep, looks like we are getting some more ugly weapons.
Or this has something to do with robots. (MvM gamemode).

 

I posted this picture some time ago but hey, its still up-to-date.

Meh when my inet is back I will start playing gw2 anyway

 

Valve always had the idea that any cracked version is a failure on their side to improve the service to their users that they want to buy the game.

I've read that a long time ago that the russian hackers translated their CS into russian, and that was the reason russians where using a cracked CS. Instead of fighting it, they added russian translations etc. Improve yourself, and compete with better service.
