Prepare for server hell for a couple of days

Oh so that's what the syringe milk does. [editline]22nd November 2013[/editline] Hey does anyone want to start a match up?

They changed the BFB? Hmm...

[QUOTE]Press ATTACK3 to activate when Energy meter is full (mouse3 by default)[/QUOTE] did they forget the medigun doesnt reload again edit: and the minigun to apparently, i'm pretty sure rage pushback doesn't effect the shotgun

[QUOTE=_charon;42941856]did they forget the medigun doesnt reload again edit: and the minigun to apparently, i'm pretty sure rage pushback doesn't effect the shotgun[/QUOTE] Yeah but what if someone uses Quick Fix and this? I think they were looking out for that scenario.

Amputator nerf. Neat. Sarcasm.

Baby Face's Blaster buff Hello new main Scout weapon

Amputator is now useful! So is the BFB! Crusader's Crossbow returned to its former glory! Liberty Launcher is now more of a sidegrade! I'm happy with this update!

Liberty Launcher Added 25% reduced self damage from rocket jumps why?

holy macaroni, liberty launcher and gunboats.

[QUOTE=TheGreatDave;42941910]Liberty Launcher Added 25% reduced self damage from rocket jumps why?[/QUOTE] Actually fits the set's theme of Airborne Combat. I think it's a good idea.

[QUOTE=TheGreatDave;42941910]Liberty Launcher Added 25% reduced self damage from rocket jumps why?[/QUOTE] Much needed synergy with the Market Gardner, and making it not quite as super boring.

So the eyelander eye is green forever now? Not team colored?

BFB buff yesss

[QUOTE=Outro-intro;42941920]So the eyelander eye is green forever now? Not team colored?[/QUOTE] and over the eyepatch, not my favourite change.. but I guess it was needed

Game crashes before reaching the main menu, sweet.

[QUOTE=Outro-intro;42941920]So the eyelander eye is green forever now? Not team colored?[/QUOTE] Retconned.

Eyelander effects probably changed to avoid killstreak modifiers from conflicting with it. I'm fine with that.

Wait...what about the killstreaks?

Golden Frying Pan. [img]http://media.steampowered.com/apps/440/icons/c_frying_pan_gold_large.1198945aaa4f8544f7f372d4dfb15228f0b6f9b5.png[/img] Lol.

[QUOTE=Grimhound;42941890]Amputator nerf. Neat. Sarcasm.[/QUOTE] since when is +3 health regen a nerf

Oh man the nice buffs. I WELCOME THEM WITH THE BIGGEST HUGS EVER!

Just to think people were bitching about Valve only focusing on MVM and cosmetics

[QUOTE=TheGreatDave;42941957]Game crashes before reaching the main menu, sweet.[/QUOTE] Uninstall any custom HUDs.

[QUOTE=DrCactus;42942028]since when is +3 health regen a nerf[/QUOTE] +3 health regen when ACTIVE, -20% damage. So the regen is useless unless you stand aside to use it, and it's equally as useless as a weapon. The only possible use I see for it is saving yourself from fire. It forces a Medic to withdraw from the field in order to take advantage of it.

[QUOTE=Grimhound;42942081]+3 health regen when ACTIVE, -20% damage. So the regen is useless, and it's equally as useless as a weapon. The only possible use I see for it is saving yourself from fire.[/QUOTE] Taunt while pushing the cart or capping a point with your team. Heal your team and heal yourself super fast.

Here's the item schema update: [url]https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamTracking/commit/10371416a121b14dcf05cbc1057efbd182354f34[/url]

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;42942097]From what I can see it appears that only the Pan has the turn-to-gold attribute and everything else is a reskin. I could be wrong though (I probably am).[/QUOTE] All the gold weapons turn corpses to gold on kill, not just the pan. There are also golden weapons besides the stock weapons.
