Black Waltz Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 The first details of the War update are upon us.It turns out that both Demo and Soldier will get 3 new weapons... but whichever class kills more of the other in the next week will also get a fourth weapon. For those of us who really don't care that much, Valve has noted that we'll have new maps this update, too. Details on the update will be released over the next week, including the new maps, achievements, weapons, and "surprises." Makes me wonder if surprises deals with the Engineer update... I will be supporting Soldier, who will you guys root for?
ParanoidDrone Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 For the first time ever, I'm beginning to wonder if I should get a reserve slot. 25/25 players on both servers. Wow.
mr_flea Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Hello, I've been a regular for a while, but I keep getting kicked by reserved slots; I was hoping I might have one to avoid being kicked. Today I joined RED with a friend (while it was completely empty), and by about 15 minutes later the server had filled and I was kicked by a reserved slot. On another note, because of the soldier/demoman update, playing spy is even more awesome than before.
atmuh Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 wait mrflea doesnt have a slot? hes been playing there forever also heh
Powerlord Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 On another note, because of the soldier/demoman update, playing spy is even more awesome than before. QFE Anyway, send me, Fireslash, or Bahamut a note about reserved slots. Also, voice chat died on both servers for some reason. P.S. Enabling alltalk on RED (#2) by default by popular demand.
ParanoidDrone Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 I noticed there was kind of a major problem on RED with regards to weapon switching. Roughly half the time, when I'd try to switch weapons (or disguise), it wouldn't register and put me back at the last weapon I used. This...is kind of a big deal, actually. I heard it was caused by Demoman overload? Which doesn't make much sense, but having so many stickies, grenades, and rockets flying around can be taking an undue toll on the server. (I'm not kidding, having a team of 16 Demoman bots lay 8 stickies each followed by grenade spam is used sometimes on custom maps to make sure they're not using too many entities, which would suggest to me that they have a non-zero cost for the server to handle.)
Kiyobi Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 On another note, because of the soldier/demoman update, playing spy is even more awesome than before. *w* But yeah, my stance on this update? lol no drama for me cuz i care about neither. Although if I was forced to play as either Soldier or Demoman, I'd go Soldier. I fail as a drunk scottish cyclops.
The Mutericator Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Thanks to this update, I just beat my best as Medic. 6 kills and what I estimate to be 5 or more Ubercharges in one life, it was awesome. Battlemedic for the fucking win.
Kiyobi Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 How's this map looking to you guys? http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/119087
SporkNinjaDraken Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Oh wow... my computer chose like the BEST time to die on me I have no good pc anymore joyous day ¬_¬ Being stuck on a 7 year old laptop which lags on youtube isn't fun guys. Especially when a good excuse to get better at soldier has come and reared it's head.
chivesontheweb Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 I'll try and get a little play time in today after school but I am busy. While I was looking at atmuh's screenshot I saw good ole' Dr. Horrible was on the server. He's a pretty mean Soldier from what I recall of him on other servers. Told me to move on from Pyro because the skill ceiling was way too low. That I should work on something like Demoman or Sniper instead. Unless this was a different Dr. Horrible, in which case nevermind.
A Random Tiger Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Well I probably won't be playing for a while. My replacement mouse broke. So I have two non-working mice. I was lucky as hell to find an ancient relic of a mouse, but there's no way I can play TF2 with this piece of shit. Doesn't even have a scroll wheel rofl.

Better than having an entirely unworking computer lol xD But still I feel your pain.

The demoman is destroying everyone's computers so you can't destroy him.
A Random Tiger Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 It's a conspiracy! The demoman is destroying everyone's computers so you can't destroy him. I'm playing for the Demo side. LANDEMOMAN CALRISSIAN Though I asked my mom for an early x-mas gift, being a new mouse, and I might be getting it tonight, which would be great
SporkNinjaDraken Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Hope you get the mouse. I'm taking my computer in for repairs tomorrow so hopefully I can add my craptastical skills onto the side of the Soldier... the Demoman doesn't need anymore weaponry lol
Black Waltz Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 after a day soldiers are winningI AM HAPPY yay /high five

A Random Tiger Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 You don't need a scroll wheel to play TF2! I used the scroll wheel for a while to switch weapons. But that statement was more to explain how old it is
bonzai! Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 I enjoy how Valve acknowledges that they released this update in the middle of exams for many college students, but thinks you should be participating in the war anyways. Dem basterds. I'll be back when exams are done, and hopefully with less lag!
