TF2 Heavy Update

Same here, opened Steam this morning thinking it would be a good time to update ready for tonight but nothing yet :confused:
Try and play it, it should start updating when you do that. Mine said "100% Complete" until I tried playing it.
 
I never even realised mine had updated until I had a quick blast at being Heavy at 1am this morning. Got one achievement then went to bed. Steam had not indicated it had been updated.
 
Anyone noticed this on the update notes

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

Was playing Badwater last night and was confused why the heavy crits were coming thick and fast :confused: Great map btw, once everyone gets up to speed with all the routes its gonna be a little easier to defend (attack seems to steam roll too easily).

The firing sound of Natascha is awesome :)

Arena Mode is pretty good fun, played the full map rotation last night. The new maps are really good especially Lumberyard. Don't think I fully explored Ravine as it felt really small. The way the teams are mixed up and you occasionally have to sit out is great, although there's a bug where the Red team are sometimes frozen in the spawn.
 
did the update last night, opened TF2 to play around, and got a CTD HL2.exe error..

deleted local content, redownloaded TF2 entirely, tried again this morning.. CTD with a HL2.exe error :/

poo!
 
Think its spoiled the game for me a bit theres just so many heavys about now. CP maps are just silly now points are captured too fast :(

With the Kritzbriegs uber charge does it only give critical hits? As whenever i uber i get killed which never use to happen :p

TDM normally doesn't have the whole 'last man standing' thing going on.

It doesnt? :P What kind of team deathmatch have you played?

The Q3 TDM I played was the same as this... just an arena to fight until 1 team is dead and then it resets and starts again!

Ruins the game? Are you new to TF2? :P This happens everytime a class patch happens. It happened with Medics and it happened with Pyros and now HWs! Expect plenty of Snipers / Spies / Scouts / Engineers / Demos and Soldiers in the future :P
 
Played for about an hour last night and managed to get about 11 achivements and my Sandvich :D

Was so funny all the heavies around and all the medics taking advantage of the carnage. At one point I had 3 medics healing me when trying to assault an enemy base.

BTW does anyone know how many rounds you have to fire to get the Heavy Industry achievement ?

I played a lot of Q3, including TDM and the TDM mode didn't make use of last man standing. You're probably thinking of RA/CA/etc.

And of course a dozen heavies all strafing at anything, for any reason, doesn't affect this... :rolleyes:

Not particularly.. you just need to flank. Take 2fort.. Jump from the balcony into the water whilst cloaked, go through the tunnels, come out at the enemy entrance to the bridge, and you'll have 10 Heavies with their backs in front of you. Stabby stab stab, rinse, repeat.

Pfft :P who the hell played regular Q3 anything? :P Ra3 or OSP CTF!
 
actually, reading through the achievements they are really hard!

e.g
Show Trial: Kill an enemy with a taunt.
...HOW?

and

Rasputin: In a single life, get shot, burned, bludgeoned, and receive explosive damage.


:eek: lol

Heavy Industry: Fire $200,000 worth of minigun rounds in a single life.

so im guessing one round = $1?

Showtrial one is when you have the gloves, equip them and do a taunt and you start flinging punches around.

Firing the gun for 6 seconds gives you the last one.

Im really not sure about the acheivements myself, the sandvich is good but the gloves and natasha are a bit suspect. Ive noticed that in melee fights with other heavies if you have the gloves and they havn't more often than not you will lose, also natasha seems to be amazingly underpowered comapred to sacha.

I know its meant to be but you've absoloutely no chance against another heavy armed with sacha, even witha medic i got royally raped against a heavy with no medic. :eek:
