"Burn Bitches!!"

 

[G-Dub]

Demoman grenades (not stickybombs) no longer explode on contact after the first bounce

I like this one the most

I don't ;(

Did they add support for at least 48 players?

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Great update, and it's still beta!

That would ruin the game. :/

 

[ZeroG]

That would ruin the game. :/

Agreed

Valve really doesn't like spam.....they're forgetting their roots.

WTF at nerfing the Demoman? No one was complaining about him, and that only makes Sentry Guns even more difficult to destroy.

I hope that TF2 doesn't become a nerf-fest where Valve listen to any idiot's complaints and downgrade a class with every update...IMO the only balancing the game needs is a slight increase to SGs' target acquistion time. Nothing else.

 

[CyberPitz]

I'm happy for the demoman. Doesn't really "nerf" it THAT much. If you can't hit them on teh first shot, that first bounce won't determine a lot.

 

[Crispy]

It makes Demo require more skill, which it was in need of:

 

[Kadayi]

Shit you suck Crispy give up now I say :dozey:

 

[ZEROarmy]

Wow, my only complaint (flamethrower) with the game was fixed. I now declare it a perfect game.

 

[Gray Fox]

The update ****ed up my options screen:

 

[Hazar]

that happened to mine as well gray fox

love the pyro now

 

[Xendance]

Looks <strike>bad</strike> good!

(Sorry, had to test strikeout posted by Vegeta in the other topic )

The heck? I don't have an "Expanded" option in the HDR box, and the "Use 'bloom' effect" box won't stay checked either.

 

[Mutley]

The Pyro is noticeably more powerful, your pretty much dead if you come point-blank range to one, lol.

The demoman was a good change, I play as him a lot but before this patch he was used more as an attacking class from the ability to do 1-hit kills with 'nade launcher.

You need a Direct X 10 graphics card to use Expanded

Err no, the option to expand the FOV is under the multi-player tab, advanced options not under the graphics tab.

 

[Malfunction]

The Pyro is wayyyyyy better now. People were actually complaining about them tonight, what a change. I also like the demoman change a lot. They're still very effective, but not the killwhores they once were. NJ Valve!

Yeah, the new Pyros seem a little overpowered. Whenever I'm a spy they get me every time. It takes a small fraction of a second to kill any low-hp class with the pyro. No fun

The guy was talking about Extended HDR. Nothing to do with the FOV.

Thanks. What's the visual difference?

 

[Iron_cube]

Anyone noticed how they removed gamestartup3.wav?

What the ****?

Nevermind, extracted it back into tf2 folder
