Team Fortress 2 - Heavy Update, New Maps, New Mode are all live now!

I got 2 hats in 24 hours! Ye Olde Bakers Boy for scout (meh) and the Drill Sargent hat for Soldier (sweet!)

also enough metal to craft a class specific hat (4 reclaimed + pyro token), I really want the Brain Slug, but Im holding out to see what happens with todays update because there might be a new cooler hat I want. If its a new crappy hat, my chances go down though!

The Gunslinger just sounds like too much fucking fun. For serious.

^_-;

I’m going to get that gunslinger! As I am now my sentries rarely survive so just drop one and go to focus on making lvl 3 teleporters and dispensers ASAP.

originally the gunslinger replaced the pistol but not the page updated and it now says replaces the wrench. Hmmm

All golden wrenches gone, updates and achievements are up!

At first I thought you would only be able to move lvl 2 sentries but by looking at the achievements it appears you can haul lvl 3 sentries as well…

New maps look like a shitload of Engi-happy fun! GET HYPE!

^_-;

Off to tr_walkway and offline training, olol.

gunslinger has 3 HIT SUPER COMBO

engie confirmed for EVO?!

Wonder if that 3rd punch is some FALCON PUNCH type shit.

^_-;

ok all the other servers i go to are currently full (or SUPER FULL in the case of those 25/24 servers)

i’m gonna try to join the srk server and see how the new stuff is

edit: seems the server is out of date :frowning:

With this Engineer update, I wanna get back on the Engineer train and solve practical problems. <3

Just got all the stuff, they’re pretty interesting, except for the Southern Hospitality. It’s basically a Shiv that doesn’t crit and increases fire damage done to you by 20%. Have to craft an Ambassador and scrap for it.

Magnetro! Get your server back up!!

Totally forgot…I’m at Vegas ATM.
Server is going updating.

Game is unplayable right now. I’ve tried multiple servers and it is always the same. Both teams are made of Engies that camp in opposite spots with Wrangler-ed turrets.

They fucked with the sandwich.

SON OVA BITCH.

also nerfed Tribalmen’s shiv. lame. Finally got everything for Engineer but haven’t had a chance to use the wrangler. been abusing the power glove but I don’t feel that good about being a combat engineer. once the next few days pass by I will give the wrangle a try.
