I can only presume they found a bug in the map or some plan changed, it seems a pretty blatant pull for the tuesday unveil.
 
aye indeed.

Why else would they hint at it? Amount of spy update too, just lol.


Alos, looking at the acievs:
Dodgers 1, Giants 0: Kill an enemy Heavy and take his Sandvich

OMG I hated the spys a lot previous to this, but now they are even worse.

Nothing is worse than a good spy on the enemy team, it makes being an engineer or sniper pure hell and I don't really mean in a fun way either as it just involves you dying frustratingly every few mins and then ending up being a pyro anyway.

pffft
 
Hooray for Spy fixes :p

I was looking forward to the Scout updates, but the Spy fixes are even better :D:D:D

Click to expand...

yeah, i just saw a youtube vid of the spy backstabs, now they're instant instead being buggy and giving facestabs

at least now if a spy gets you, it's your own fault for not turning around :)
 
*Groan* at spy fixes, a good spy was already hard enough to deal with, hate spies and if there is a good spy on the other team i almost always have to be pyro to deal with them effectively, am rubbish at being a spy personally so it wont benefit me at all :(
 
Ah so what server does everyone play on then? I normally join the PCGAMERUK guys or play on Hampshire Heavies but what we do with PCGF is idle in the group chatroom for pcgamer steam group and just join games that people play in via their status>join game option.

Perhaps a OCUK TF2 group could be created for this purpose too allowing us to idle in the group chat room and join as needed?
