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

How do you unlock this for the PC version? I still can’t see it. Has it not gone live yet?

Also, anyone know any good servers where you can just farm achievements? I want to get the Bonk and baseball bat…

^_-;

It’s not out yet…Valve likes to tease.

Is TF2 better on PC or the 360?

I kinda want to get into it a bit.

the PC version lets you get the updates for free

so yeah its better by far

Yeah and its less laggy, can fit more people in a room, achievement servers, and has a way bigger community. So yeah PC all the way.

thanks for answering my question.
its only 10 bucks now too i cant turn that down. i think im gonna pick this up 2moro maybe.

Shit, I just realized the sniper updates started today and my video card just HAD to die on me yesterday. FUCK. Ironically, I have a feeling this has to do with the amount of TF2 I have been playing. 60+ hours in 2 weeks…

After reading about the Huntsman on the main site it sounds like that weapon from HL2 which pinned the Combine troops to the wall, showing off that good old source engine physics. Its probably going to be a couple of weeks until I get to try it out. :crybaby::crybaby::crybaby:

So, anyone know any good achievement servers?

^_-;

dont a bunch pop up for you in the server lists?

Theres a bunch of great achievement servers. Just go Find Server on Team Fortress 2, keep scrolling down and you should find a lot of servers, with names like “Pyro Achievements l HellsGamers.com” “Digibitch.com l Achievement Farm :D” “Game Renegades TF2 Scout Achievement”, etc.

Just go into one of those (try to find one thats a little populated, don’t be the only one there), and you should a bunch of bots (they don’t move), and just kill them in the fashion you should to get the achievement.

By the way, even if it says Heavy Achievement Server, you can still use the server for Pyro achievements.

I’ve been playing a lot of TF2 lately, especially with the Scout. The achievements are a huge let down, after awhile you come to realize that the original versions are all pretty much better. Time to farm dem Sniper achievements. My Steam ID is preptime, get at me.

imo.

To me the unlocks are entirely situational and I usually use them if I really want to play a class that my team already has a lot of. For instance, if we already have like 3-4 medics a kritzkrieg’d soldier will still be a great addition. Still, I agree with you.

It seems like the best unlocks are the ones that are just melee. Boxing gloves and ubersaw are great.

Day 2 updated.

New mode…Payload Race.
2 new Arena maps.

One step ahead of you hah.

Irennicus, Boxing Gloves are good fun, especially for melee with some friends (or just as a final showdown in Arena/Sudden Death). But actually useful? Not really since the shotgun’s pretty much better due to the Heavy’s slow speed. However other than that, I agree, the Ubersaw, Axtinguisher, and the Stun Bat (cheese!) are all better than the original.

And the Payload race seems epic, since Payload’s already my favorite format. Sawmill reminds me of Welcome to Ravenholm, while Nucleus also seems cool.

With Pyro, does anyone have the problem with the flames not hitting somebody when the particle effect is clearly touching them? I find it really annoying when I compression blast into a wall and take out my axtinguisher just to find that for some reason they didn’t catch on fire.

What appears to be the range on the flamethrower is very misleading.

Also, it could be a registry error, as this commonly happens with the flamethrower and the Spy’s backstab. They both fail to register on hit fairly often.

Yeah, sometimes when I spray a little fire and then compression blast them, you get hit with the fire in a range where I wouldn’t if I was going forward.

Yea even though they “fixed” the backstab it still has registering problems. I’ve never had problems with the pyro’s flamethrower when I’m a pyro. Pyro is the main reason why I don’t play scout anymore because I often get burned when I’m clearly out of range. Anyone have an explanation for that?

That explains a lot. The particle effects now being the real hit box seems kinda annoying at time though.
