- Fixed exploit where the Medigun UberCharge wouldn't drain if you switched weapons <- fucking gay.
the rest is awesome though.
Agree'd, originally swapping weapons didn't save the uber and then a while later it did... now it's an exploit and been removed.... which is pretty homo, but I can live with it.
Great success on all the rest though! Esp. the removal of the gaps high in the map and snip greifing spots etc... TF2 is just getting more and more polished its great :D Now they just need to nerf the demoman a little... ;)
Only gay for Medics who don't know when to time their Ubers.
It's great to see their commitment to keeping this game balanced, they still have a passion for it despite (or may be due to) the long years it was vapourware. Fantastic they didn't just push it out the door and say "there, it's done, are you happy now". Unfortunately a rather rare stance nowadays, but that makes it more admirable when it does happen.

er fuckin no? it's got nothing to do with being a good medic or not.. actually the best medics used this to their advantage by getting 2 full offensive pushes out of the 1 uber. how about thinking before you type in the future?
Maybe you should ask Santa to bring you a clue for Christmas DeKrow :) Lord knows your lacking one.
I stand by what I said, but I also respect your right to disagree (though secretly I think you're a clueless cunt)
Merry Christmas to all :)
AHahah I love slashquit.
The main thing I want to know is.....
"Teams now score a point per captured control point, rather than per sub round"
Does this change anything on the GA ladder in regards to how these games are scored.
No shit mother fucker. What I am asking is does that mean the attacking team can win without caping all three maps?
