[iRunner]

[Xieneus]

[Ashtiel]

Wait... what?

[Psychopath]

Fixed the Pyro’s airblast not working correctly when facing downhill

Bout time groundstalling got patched. It's kind of annoying to be perma-vulnerable to the Reserve Shooter until you jump or leave the ground.

[SgtWoodsy]

+attack3, huh?

[Tako_Vengador]

yuuus

[Psychopath]

[QUOTE=SgtWoodsy;38912608]+attack3, huh?[/QUOTE]

Probably going to be most useful for people who like to bind things to their mouse buttons.

[HyperTails]

Attack3? Oh dear.

[Mio Akiyama]

[QUOTE=SgtWoodsy;38912608]+attack3, huh?[/QUOTE]

maybe it has something to do with the new engie shotgun

[Digivee]

someone got a screenie of the engie bot?

[Damoman]

- Added new checkout dialogs and taunt-activated effect to raise awareness for Community Map Stamps

Stamp rain?

[Marlamin]

[QUOTE=HyperTails;38912648]Attack3? Oh dear.[/QUOTE]

I smell a whole new range of exploits coming up. :v:

[Ermac20]

Sexcellent

[tso]

strange shop! woot!

[EmperorKabuto]

I wonder if the new stuff is craftable. I have a pile of hats but...I'm nervous.

[Sammun]

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;38912647]Probably going to be most useful for people who like to bind things to their mouse buttons.[/QUOTE]

but i already have it binded to the melee slot :v:

[cs_bunny]

And, I [i]still[/i] have the validating files bug.

Sure wish there was some permanent fix for this.

[Maruhai]

OH GOD ADULT SWIM ITEMS

[ned_ballad]

Now we wait for the schema to see those delicious reskins and restrictions

[bourgogne]

Yes steam, please crash whenever I try to click on you.

[EmperorKabuto]

[Komppu]

You shut your god damn mouth you butt.

[Pennywisе]

[QUOTE=leonthefox;38912716]but i already have it binded to the melee slot :v:[/QUOTE]I have it bound to the sentry blueprint for Engie, last disguise for Spy, and spin-around-like-a-'tard-while-shooting-flamethrower-and-cheering for Pyro.

This is... this is going to take a bit of getting used to.

[wickedplayer494]

We'll get details for everyone when they come in.
