Steam have released updates for both Team Fortress 2 and Day of Defeat: Source. The updates will apply automatically when you next restart your Steam client.

Chief among the updates are these fixes:
  • Added flag to the gamerules entity so map authors can override the HUD type being used. Allows map authors to force CTF or CP HUD to be used if they mix CTF/CP entities in the map
  • Fixed players getting stuck in the "prepare to respawn..." countdown loop
  • Fixed server crash when trying to load a map that contains control points with duplicate index values
  • Changed AutoTeam to give new players to the attackers on attack/defend maps if the teams are even
And so on...

You can have a look at the full list of changes right here.

You can get healed by a dispenser while invisible!!??

Can you also get ammo to stay invisible?

EDIT: apparently so!

Yeah dude, that's how you stay invisible. If you find 2 x 200 ammo boxes, that are less than a cloaked run away from each other you can stay invisible indefinitly - unless someone steals the ammo, then you're going to have to come out of hiding and kill them.

They need to fix the bug where one stacked team pwns the other all the time. At least in Arena mode there are shuffles if this goes on for 5 rounds.

It sucks to be an engineer these days.

Both enemy and friendly spies will now make a bee line for all the metal lying around to stay cloaked indefinitely.

If that's not bad enough, any Demoman that's knows which end of the sticky bomb gun to shoot from can take down a level 3 sentry in seconds.
Engies paying attention to their sentries need something similar to a compression blast to knock stickies away. The pistol and shotgun are useless for defending the sentry.

Yeah from time to time as an engy I feel like that.

Then I go play another class and realised how equally f***ed up it is.

The engy pistol might seem pathetic if you just let off a couple shots, but if you go deathmatch style and unload entire clips on people in the distance you can take down snipers and soldiers fairly easily - since you can move around a lot better than them.
