The new Kritz noise is a beautiful, beautiful thing. It reminds me of a mad scientist pulling some epic, important lever in his lab. Such a beautiful thing, the Kritzkrieg is.

Also, whoever decided that a dazed, ubered medic should no longer be capable of channeling the uber to his target is retarded because those baseballs are incredibly spammable and it's a bitch to dodge when you're being pushed by 2+ sentries. Also, undocumented but the new sentry image for kills, which reflects level of gun apparently, looks awesome. And as annoying as the whole 'BONK!' daze thing is, the graphic for it does make me giggle and some classes look hilarious in dazed civvy mode.

I like the updates so far, especially for the spy.

The new Scout weapons all kind of suck.
The Force-A-Gayture (yeah) is ruined by its small ass clip, You should be able to attack while on Bonk, and the Sandman is mediocre at best.

[Luminal]

Agreed with Sodium.

I found myself using the old load out (Scatter, Pistol, Bat) more instead of the new junk. Occasionally I will only use the Force-A-Gayture or Sandman, but the Bonk blows giant nuts.

I have the new bat equipped, but other than that, I dont like anything else.
