Has anyone succeeded in charging someone with the pipebomb launcher and killing your target and yourself with the crit?
As far as I know, the crit bonus only applies to melee weapons.

I've been consistently getting crit grenades at the end of a long charge. And yeah I've scored a kill+suicide with one.

I'm assuming you mean criting with the grenade launcher as well, as you don't have a pipebomb launcher if your charging.

Just had a play around with the new bots that have been added. They don't seem too bad except for a few smaller things. Main thing is they won't use melee weapons and medics/engies seem very hesitant to actually attack anyone instead of just fleeing. The bots won't play as a spy, presumably as they haven't yet been coded to be able to use spy techniques yet. The bots will spy-check, but are a lot less paranoid than players.

For anyone wanting to have a play with them this is what you do.

  • Start a new server on whichever map you want to play.
  • If it is a koth map skip the next step.
  • type 'nav_generate' into the console, without quotes. This may take a while.
  • 'tf_bot_add X' into the console, without quotes, where x is how many bots you want to add.

Oh and for those who have been waiting for another sale before picking up TF2 it's currently 50% off.

EDit: Zai: Not having problems connecting but steam seems to be completely unable to connect to the item servers so no unlocks atm.

Crafting recipes known so far.

-----

METAL CREATION
Metal is used to fabricate new items

Smelt Primary Weapons
3 of Same Primary Weapons = 1 Scrap Metal

Smelt Secondary Weapons
3 of Same Secondary Weapons = 1 Scrap Metal

Smelt Melee Weapons
3 of Same Melee Weapons = 1 Scrap Metal

Smelt Class Weapons
1 Primary Weapon + 1 Secondary Weapon + 1 Melee Weapon (Or equivalent) from a single class = 1 Scrap Metal

METAL UPGRADES
Better Forms of Metal

Combine Scrap Metal
3 scrap metal = 1 reclaimed metal

Combine Reclaimed Metal
3 Reclaimed Metal = 1 Refined metal

TOKENS
Used in addition to metal to make class and slot specific items

Fabricate Slot Token
4 Weapons for one slot (Head, Misc, primary, secondary, melee) = One Slot Token for appropriate slot

Fabricate Class Token
4 Identical Weapons = 1 Class Token

HEADGEAR

Fabricate Class Headgear
4 Refined Metal + 1 Class Token = 1 Class Headgear

Fabricate Headgear
3 Refined Metal = 1 Random Headgear

Rebuild Headgear
2 Hats of any type (Haven't tried the Gibus) = 1 Random Hat


WEAPONS

Fabricate Class Weapons
1 Class Token + 1 Slot Token + 1 Scrap Metal = 1 Class Weapon (Ex: 1 Pyro Token + 1 Secondary Slot Token + 1 Scrap Metal = Flaregun)

Edited to add new recipies

Yep. The new maps look interesting as well as the new bots. The nerf to the sandman is disappointing making it practically useless. The spy getting the hat/wearables of his disguise should help out now against those who paid more attention. The medic targeting improvements should hopefully help out in a close group.

2106
Looks like the update has just started.

WAR is over! Heavy wins!

I have to agree we don't really need much in the way of stats. About the only thing I use the gametracker page for is to see what times people are coming on the server.

Free weekend is on again from this Thursday, so get all your non-TF2 owning friends to come try it out.

Second this. This is a game I have played more than any other.

As a warning however, the game's largest downfall is its often game ending glitches.

As a tip: DO NOT build Tourist locations. They are the source of the majority of the game's game ending glitches. I've had minions get stuck in them and if any of them can't get to the helepad because they are stuck, then you basically lose.

To clarify, that bug is only game breaking if it happens on island 1. Or you can use Ivan to blow up and kill the trapped minion.

I've never had problems with tourist locations, just make sure to plan them out so there is a clear path to all item hotspots.

2111
The scrolling was why I got into the habit of periodically deleting them as well. But I believe that it was fixed in a recent patch to only show one item, which has multiple copies, while equipping.

2112
So we get crafting in the next update.

And of course this happens the day after I cleared my inventory of duplicate weapons. Have to see if you can make anything from vast quantities of sandvith's and jarate.

2113
Yeah ;-) but to be fair they were much better than the normal randoms we get coming along to the server. Certainly enough to warrant checking them out.

2114
On annother note, can anyone hear me when I use the mic? I've always had trouble getting the levels on it to work properly.

I was able to hear you fine while we were playing so it looks like it's working.


Good games tonight after I got back from the pub. With a couple of excessively good random snipers for a while.(and yes I checked then out, they weren't aim-boting as some thought afaict, they were missing far to often for that)

Yeah, though oddly enough it picked up about twelve hours before the soldier slaughterWAR bagan.
