Team Fortress 2 thread V2: The Gun Mettle update is LIVE

I knew it was going to be AWESOME…now it’s F2P.

Meet the Medic wasn’t as good as I had hoped. Didn’t really capture the class like the others did.

it’s up

No more info, no new game mode, nothing for engy or spy… seems like something is missing still for this to be the biggest update ever

Wow at the Quick Fix…more uber’d scouts.

ok the engy got nothing, but the spy got stuff on day 1

Free people can only receive trades not give them; meaning you can’t just farm endlessly. However if you ever spent any money on the game (buying it, in the store, etc) then BAM you’re already a premium account. Even a 99 cent key I assume.

Means you can idle infinite accounts and if you get a good hat drop, then just buy a key and trade it away

Anyone else’s Steam connection just exploded?

yea it’s fucked up

Here’s everything you need to know about the free to play conversion.

If you ever bought the game prior to the update, then you have a premium account, which is basically what it was before. If this is your first time getting it, then you’ll be on the free version of the game.

That’s not so bad…

57 new items.

Needs more Medic domination sounds…

To get the game to continue updating, I changed the download region to Japan. See if that works for you guys.

I’m not getting the update…shit.
Servers are getting fucking rocked right now.

For engies, this is Too Bad Thursday.

Engi is being removed next update. Poor engies…

^_-;

i think free accounts cannot get hats, only “standard” items. i guess that means weapons.

edit: don’t have the update yet myself but the steam forums are reporting the Detonator’s “Flare Jump” is terribly nerfed compared to the Beta version. its pretty much worthless and you’re better off sticking with the shotgun.

So I guess the Uber Update Party is not happening?

T_T

I still haven’t gotten my update yet…and what server would we go to?

I’ve just finished playing on one. Everything is up. Did you try changing the Download Region and restarting steam?
