Team Fortress 2 Update Coming

A required update for Team Fortress 2 will be released later today. Probably in the next 30 minutes or so.

Maybe it's the delisting update? Should be fun to play around with that one .

[kuttlewug 28]

But will it really be released at around 8:30 or hours late?

Updates to Team Fortress 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Game Changes

Reworked the character loadout screens to support future features

Added the ability for players to permanently delete items from their inventory using the new Backpack menu. This does not reset achievements. Once an item has been deleted it can never be re-earned

Added the ability for players to reset their player stats using the Reset Stats button on the Stats menu. This does not reset achievements

Added a "player_teleported" game event that is sent when a player is teleported

Updated cp_junction_final to score per-capture instead of per-round. This fixes the map not working correctly with Tournament mode and the stopwatch

Scouts now drop the flag if they're carrying it when they start phasing

Fixes

Fixed instances where Steam connection problems would cause some unlocked items to be unusable

Fixed the custom crosshair menu not clearing itself when "None" is selected for non-English clients

Fixed warning about not being able to execute skill1.cfg when starting the dedicated server

I have a feeling valve might start offering download-able content. That is the only thing that would make sense.

probably in response to battlefield: heroes? lmao

Battlefield Heroes' weapon system is annoying. You basically HAVE to buy a new weapon because all of the default stuff sucks ass, and you only get that weapon for a limited amount of time. >:|

[Mana 3,867]

One of my servers is being spammed in console with missing scripts for

"crits against fire" and other fun stuff.

WOW in my TF2: Now near reality:

AzuiSleet: They added the delete option because you need to delete all your unlocks to play

AzuiSleet: Also, I found a flamethrower with +10 to hp

Edit:

Medigun charge is crit boost

Firerate bonus

Critboost on kill

Etc

I bet they're going the same way as many free games are. A few default weapons that are bog-standard, then a bunch of paid-for weapons that last thirty days before being delted.

Wonder if they're going to do an in-game money system as well as a pay with cash system... if not, I'm migrating to CombatArms...

Any reason I cant join lotus servers?

And when I try I get hl2.exe error.

Also the server info shows a lot of people with 0 points.

[Miyari 33]

Hey, I agree - TF2 DOES need more random crits.

[Is going JDM 0]

wait what the hell? You're going to have to pay for unlockable weapons now? That's fucking garbage.

RISE UP INTERNETZ SPAM GABE'S INBOX UNTIL HE REALIZES THAT HE IS BEING A GIGANTIC PRICK AND CRIES HIMSELF TO SLEEP.

Unless he doenst make it pay based, in that case send him e-cookies.

[FunkyFresh 68]

If it's pay for better weapons, I'm out. I'll find a new game before I deal with that bullshit. You'd have to constantly surge money into your character just to be on-par with everyone else.

Mana can you ask him wtf is the deal with the backpack and are we going to have to pay for new features?

If he doenst have that info. Tell him you will give him an e-cookie to try and find out.

[FunkyFresh 68]

That kind of information won't be released to the public until the next news announcement, blah blah.

We're probably gonna have to wait until they show what they have in-store for us.
