Yes you read that title right, TF2 has a beta version out right now. http://fakkelbrigade.eu/archives/1059...troduction For those of you too lazy to click the link Valve have asked a bunch of teams from the top end of the EU and USA communities to help develop and balance the game further. There's a massive thread about this on the steam forums too http://forums.steampowered.com/forums...p?t=929739 I take no responsibility for health defects you may suffer from reading that thread however. |

It's great new;, it makes so much sense for Valve to test gameplay changes with people who actually play the game before implementing it that it's pretty amazing they haven't always done this I've read all of that steam forum thread (I'm so sad).. I still really don't understand why there appear to be so many people arguing for/against pub/comp play and being so generally unpleasant to one another. I mean clearly they all like playing the same video game, to the extent that they're reading and posting on a forum dedicated to it .. so to then call someone else a total loser because they play that exact same video game in a slightly different way seems to me the height of retardedness |

And that's the basic misunderstanding that causes all this crap, no one on the comp side says those classes suck or are useless, they are situational. Pyros spies and even engies have their place, but not all the time and not on all maps, but for some reason people on the steam forums don't seem to grasp that and think that just because no one opens with an engie on granary it somehow means no one plays engie in comp. |

Yeah, there are various rumours in that thread that they're altering the sandman quite a lot (allowing double jumping with it but changing it in some other way to compensate.. which sounds like it would have to be a total redesign to me). The heavy may be getting the ability to run a bit faster when he's holding his melee weapon (whether that's all melee weapons or a new one that specifically does this I don't know) the idea being that this will balance as it effectively adds to the time before he can have his minigun spun up (as he has the added time of switching to the minigun as well as the spinning up time) which makes it an interesting decision when to go faster and when to have your primary weapon more accessible. There was also a rumour of a fire resistant suit for the spy which he'd swap for the revolver/ambassador... that wouldn't really affect the spy's use in comp play at all but is still interesting. The engie was also mentioned as having something new (although this hasn't been elaborated on)... so yeah.. exciting times Edited by spaceboy on 02-08-2009 17:08 |

Possible new engie weapon: GREATLY increases building speed but cannot upgrade! I LOVE IT. Attacking engineer is so much fun. |

Yeah that does sound like a good idea.. anything that dissuades the current turtling engie playstyle.. which lets face it is no fun for anyone :< |

Seriously, I haven't built a single teleporter or sentry since the new update with random drops. This weapon would allow you to secretly build a lvl 1 sentry, which supports you in the battle, while you be all like CHARGE! |

Yeah man! You could be a useful backup to an attacking team; your team pushes up, you build a level 1 quickly to cover them and stop them getting pushed back... they push up again..you destroy and build. It's basically impossible to do this at the moment as the play moves about too quickly for you to get even a level 1 up in time before it's irrelevant. |
