So much hate for the lasers, they don't even do more damage.
[QUOTE=Corporal Yippie;31255616]rocket launcher is cool, and adds a little more to the usual soldier play style (especially with the reserve shooter)
but i can't think of ANY reason to use the pistol[/QUOTE]
hard to dodge if you're in a closed area
[QUOTE=Bot02;31255414]It hasn't affected my playtime as Engie because I have teammates by me. Also, I haven't got any performance drops whatsoever. You may need a better computer.[/QUOTE]
This thing can run Portal 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Borderlands, and Resident Evil 5 better than it runs TF2. Besides, no one should ever have to invest in a new computer or parts simply to get continue getting acceptable performance out of a game they may have bought years ago.

Was it the one posted on SPUF? If so, yes. I haven't managed to try it out, but I have it installed. Thank you very much for the help.
Probably been said a lot, but as a engineer, I HATE the fucking sapping function on the bazooka. I was defending like a champ with my lvl 3 turret. Suddenly, pew pew pew, sentry insta-destroyed by bastard-soldiers..

no the emporium right here
since most of the soldiers who use the launcher are probably using the pistol (such as myself), you'd have to run in and hit it with your equalizer / other melee weapon, i don't see what the problem is here

Was your team having a tea-party in the Respawn room?
[QUOTE=MrParalegal;31256259]Was your team having a tea-party in the Respawn room?[/QUOTE]
I don't know what the hell they were doing, but we won anyway, since me and some other engies defended the last point like heroes.
I wonder when engineers will get some new toys..
[QUOTE=MrParalegal;31256259]Was your team having a tea-party in the Respawn room?[/QUOTE]
They don't need to. The problem here is that most teammates simply don't view sentries like the enemy do. For a team pushing to cap a control point and contend with a sentry, they're both kind of the same goal, so the offensive team will collaborate to deal with sentries just like they will with capping control points or pushing a PL cart. The sentry is an element of progress that must be overcome. For the sentry's allies however, most will not rally their attention to protect it like they will a control point.

Are you all ready to be disappointed?!
I am.
what time do they usually update?
[QUOTE=peaceful guy;31257101]what time do they usually update?[/QUOTE]
Usually around 5 PDT, so about an hour from now if they stick with the normal distribution of times.
Here we go with the countdowns again.
based on what we suppose to get a update?
[QUOTE=C4rnage;31257209]based on what we suppose to get a update?[/QUOTE]
1 rocket opened, 2 rockets unopened
I honestly do expect an update. Some facts:
1) Valve said they got a bunch of cool weapon concepts from weta. a bunch =/= 2, at least in MOST cases.
2) 2 rockets are unopened. One was opened.
3) We still have to find out what's up with the 2fort and barnblitz rockets
4) They didn't take the rockets out even though this was 'supposedly' the only part of the update.
5) They probably didn't release them all because assuming the polygons/particles are the same, it would fry the server and probably crash them.

who says they'll use all of their concepts?
and how does releasing them all at the same time as opposed to one day after eachother change that last point...?
I do not expect an update but I do hope for one.

The pistol had like 12,000 polygons I believe? And the particles for the RL was like 2000 or 4000, I forgot. We lag bad enough just from the rocket launcher, now imagine if they have 4 more laser weapons with equal or more polygons/particles, with everybody trying it out. I honestly think it'd fuck the server up a bit. Or at least lag tons of people to hell and back.
I am hoping they do use all of the concepts.
It might be that the fan on this laptop was recently cleaned but I havn't noticed any drop in preformance.
Well, I'm remaining optimistic. The one big giveaway,though, is that valve didn't remove the rockets. That hints at this not being the single day update some people think it is. They would of removed it already. After the uber update dropped, the removed the birds.

Only 34 minutes left!!
Is there any other proof of an update other than "There are 2 other rockets you guys?"

Nor have I.
[QUOTE=The Calzone;31257465]Is there any other proof of an update other than "There are 2 other rockets you guys?"[/QUOTE]
They're unopened, they weren't removed. I can't think of anything else, except the server being friend thing, but that's probably not true. It'll just lag people a lot.

I think the existence of the new Soldier animations implies a new gamemode (or something). I think we'll see some new content.
