Woah am I reading that right that you can now peek a crate to see if its worth opening?

And for those who complained about the penalties and most of the casual mode:

>Short version: We hear you. Later today, we will be shipping a patch to Casual Mode that will remove the penalties for abandoning a game, and allow you to narrow your game mode selections from two modes to a single mode before queuing. Additionally, in the very near future, we will be shipping a more comprehensive Casual Mode patch that will let you select the maps you will be matched into.

the Puff and Sting was nerfed since I lasted played. Oh I bet some are pissed.

Lag spikes hurting some of the experience. But I have enjoyed the matches I've been in so far.

This update is a big opportunity for those community servers to bring back more people again, since casual mode is still jerky and people are still complaining.

I just saw this and you should see it too. Even if you already have.

Muselk is mad!

Not really had many of those problems. Guess my bias comes from many of the community servers I frequently used all died a while ago.

Haven't run into, any hackers, maybe one or two in about 13 matches. And overall I like the player cross section of levels. Keeps the games from being utter waste of newbs and not a clean sweep of veterans.

This update has became very divisive.
A loud mayority (le reddit being one of the most voal about it) are basically pissbabies whose valid points get lost on their outrage against valve and rage aginst who don't agree with them.

These two, so far, are the best perspectives on the matter, since both point out the flaws of the update while also talking about the positive issues without whinning.

Only thing I will agree on is Match Balance would be a nice addition. Running into a few matches of just a few High levels outclassing everyone on the map. Which in turn leads to that mass disconnected problem leaving your side 3-4 down on players.

So yea that would help things a bit I think.

Looks like someone devised a new hacking method. Been rampant last three matches today.

Gather around children, Uncle Dane is about to roast Valve.

Explains why the updates are so radically inconsistent

Pyro won, so what's next?

What if the flamethrower just got a bit of a range increase in general and a more refined flame physics. Instead of just hitting a wall you can curve it along a wall.

>>201522
Worth the weight

Though hope the next one comes a little sooner

>>201522

Took long enough, goddamn.

>>201525
Didn't take as long as Half Life 3

>>201526

Nothing ever will.

And we're getting one!

Blowing the cobwebs off this thread to ask a question: any of you guys think Valve will do something for TF2's 15th anniversary in a couple weeks? I'm not holding my breath personally but who knows.

>>423513
Honestly I haven't thought of the game in years.
Does it still have a big enough playerbase for Valve to make the effort?

>>423514
It's still regularly in the top ten most played games on Steam and the fans are still passionate about it as shown by the whole SaveTF2 thing a couple months back. The reason I have my doubts is due to their not being a major update in five years and Valve basically going silent about the game outside of the annual Halloween and Christmas events.

Yeah don't see valve doing more than the bare minimum.

Wut?

Holy shit, TF2 is actually getting a for-real update?

Buff Fortress 2 [SFM]

>pre-meet your match
its like watching videos of Hiroshima before the nukes

>>425966
Things have gotten to the point when someone says Hiroshima the first thing I think of is the guy running 4chan into the ground.

shits fucked

Apparently they are making more of the TF2 comic to go along with new updates?

>>425977
It hurts man. It hurts so fucking much

Team Fortress 2 is fucking old, its almost old enough to fuck.

>>425967
Modern 4chan needs more than 2 nukes to chemo the level of cancer it has developed.

TF2 keeps getting updates but I don't hear anyone talk about it anymore.
Its just shuffling along in the background appearing in the What's New bar in my steam library occasionally.

So the final issue of the TF2 comic came out.

Anyone read it?
