I've noticed that its been harder to get crits with the backburner.

Much harder.  I get them about a quarter of the time that I used to.  I wouldn't mind if they hadn't nerfed it and took away the +50 health but now it's just unbalanced.

OBJECTION

i think they upped the crits tonight.

Yeah I noticed. Seems they just barely upped them enough to kill about 2 seconds.

Very nice about the 'Krieg and also good to see about the 'burner, hopefully it doesn't nerf the class too much but tbh I've been playing with the airblast mostly lately anyway...

The suicide thing is great news though. I'm looking at you benito!

Why? I play Soldier or Demoman 2 rounds out of 9 (RANDOM!) The suicide thing when I use the command "explode" (bound to "p" ^^) already did give kills.

Also, I still think the Backburner nerf is a bad thing.

I just wanna hear what the pyro haters complain about now. I hope it doesnt go back to crits.

Answer: I will complain about nothing. I never had a problem with crits and Valve has restored balance to the Force in TF2 so all is well.

-Added 3 Heavy unlockables
Natascha, The Sandvich, The Killing Gloves of Boxing

-Added Arena game mode
5 arenas: Lumberyard, Ravine, Well, Granary, Badlands

-Added cp_steel, a community map by Jamie "Fishbus" Manson

-Added server map timeleft to upper right of scoreboard

-Added new firing sounds to The Backburner

-Removed the Custom Tab in the serverbrowser, and added the Tags field to the base Internet Tab

-Increased The Kritzkrieg's uber-charge rate bonus from 10% to 25%

-Fixed players getting stuck in a bad animation state when class switching while spinning the minigun

-Fixed a loophole that allowed players to pickup weapons of other classes

-Fixed a bug that resulted in players earning more crit chance bonus in large, single damage events than they are supposed to


Most excited about removal of the custom tab, whoowhoo!!! Kritzkrieg is becoming an even more viable weapon, especially in nocrits servers. It's too bad about the Civ Heavy, but it's for the best.

[Scary Womanizing Pig Mask]

No more Civ Heavies makes me sad The Kritz speed boost is pretty awesome though as is Backwater Basin.

[KarthXLR]

Backwater basin is going to take some getting used to. I, personally, don't like it so far. Makes my offensive spy job so much harder.

Since the server won't get delisted now, can we put bday mode on?

So I take it that means it DOES fix all the delisting crap?

Meh, Civ Heavy is old news.

Humping Sniper is the wave of the future!

Actually, birthday mode hasn't delisted the server for at least a little while. I've played on servers with it on that I've found on the internet tab.

[Luinbariel]

If there's birthday mode on more often, I will be very happy all the time.

[Eschatos]

I think I'll start a birthday thread, so we know when to have the mod on.

Yup
[/quote]If you didn't earn it, don't complain. At least it's not as bad as the stats reset they did after the beta, that kinda sucked.
