Not sure why or who, but today I noticed that the hand rockets are broken. When you shoot the rockets at the ground, your character if frozen in an animation, so you can't strafe onto boxes, etc. So basically it's completly useless now because you can't steer your heavy onto things. Not sure wether it was an update or that someone broke it. Would be nice though if it could get fixed ASAP.
Update broke it, pretty sure about that, more crap was broken because of that, like rocketme and goomba doesnt always work either too.
The rocketme problems were a result of valve breaking gravity. I've fixed this as much as possible. The goomba issue was a accident that came about from disabling certain plugins during the first round of VSH. This too has been fixed. The heavy hand rockets not working are a result of valve fixing taunt sliding. Got a couple ideas on how to fix this. EDIT: No dice on fixing the heavy hands. You can at least use still use aiming to propel yourself in kinda the correct direction
