Bit of a shame that they removed the ability to sandman bonk ubercharged players.

I guess its up to the few pyros who aren't being lame-o with backburner to stop ubers now. Unless you can block the medic and keep him out of range.

I suppose it will encourage defensive teams to, umm... ...play less defensively.

sandman was banned in alot of competitions, mainly because of the stunning ubered players, so it was a good thing IMO. Ubers should be very dificult to stop, they're mainly used to break through choke points, which is a good thing.

yes I found it.

It seems though you don't get a medal, just an email saying the soldier update is coming next week.

The kiddies were on it this morning and loved the changes. I might get a chance to play sometime over the weekend between secondary employment and domestic duties.

expect another update soon cos this one is a bit buggy - just jumped on pipeline and the game was stuck in limbo - the round wouldn't end.

Not surprised about it being buggy. Had to show my son how to find a king of the hill match, he loved it. Now to buy him a copy for his login

Team Fortress 2

Fixed "r_rootlod" being marked as a cheat, which prevented it from being changed and caused a significant performance loss for some GPUs

Changed "The Big Hurt" Scout achievement to be "Stun 2 Medics that are ready to deploy an UberCharge."

Fixed Announcer overtime bug on KOTH servers using mp_timelimit

Due to many requests, added server ConVar "tf_overtime_nag". When set to 1, it keeps the broken announcer behavior

Fixed tournament stopwatch not displaying the time in the HUD

Fixed a bug with cloak meter regen and drain rates

Fixed Spies not being able to go invis while reloading

Fixed pipebombs sticking to saw blades

Fixed weapons not being hidden properly during loser state anims

Fixed a case where radius damage didn't reduce damage to self

Fixes Demomen taking too much damage from their pipebombs

Fixed a case where items would never show up in the backpack, even though they were available to equip

Fixed a case where items weren't being validated properly in class loadout slots

Community requests

Removed centerprint texts for TF_FLAGTYPE_ATTACK_DEFEND CTF game mode

Changed TF_FLAGTYPE_ATTACK_DEFEND capture reward from 30 kills to 1 capture
