This update will be cool, I can feel it tingling.
It'll be cool up to the point where you've spent all of your metal on hats.

After BF3 beta decided to run like shit for me, a TF2 update would be exactly what I'd need to lighten the mood.

Thursday, maybe, but tonight just seems a bit too sudden for anything larger than a bugfix patch.
oh hey, for those of you in America who want to pass some time before the update hits, Four Swords hits tomorrow for the DSi and 3DS, for free. So I know what I'll be doing :) Anyway, I can't believe it's almost been a year since the MannConomy update. Trading and the items from that update seem to have been in the game forever, yet something like the Scottish Resistance seems newer to me.

Also I look forward to the anniversary of the Australian Christmas update the most, just so I can make a thread on SPUF saying that the Loch n' Load has officially been broken for a year.
[QUOTE=Randdalf;32512633]They didn't make Mann Manor.[/QUOTE] Actually they designed the layout of Mann Manor and held a contest where community members would have to design the aesthetics and whatnot.

TF2 beta just updated for me. This is gettin' freaky, man! :tinfoil:
I thought it was a map they planned for the Engineer update but couldn't find the time to decorate it, so they scrapped it. Then they were approached for the contest and dusted off that map and held the contest to make it pretty. So it wasn't really wasted time. I think if it wasn't for the contest we never would have gotten that map, either that, or it wouldn't have been until the Uber Update.

I guess I'll be holding off on my idling for a small chance at new items.
185mb update that's big enough to hold a lot of goodies
[QUOTE=Vaught;32514936]izzit also beta update was probably some syncing update or something dumb[/QUOTE] Removed Pocket Soldier items Updated tf_polish.txt again for no reason Added a bunch of files for no reason Modified a few things that definitely have nothing to do with adding cheats for use in competitive matches
Fffff what's in this update man, the suspense is killing me [editline]27th September 2011[/editline] Wait what
it begins
185 meg beta update? [editline]28th September 2011[/editline] I don't even have it installed heheh
well, here's the Schema changes. Looks like some fixes for weapons with hilarious class select screen animations [url]http://git.optf2.com/schema-tracking/commit/?id=36a3887f3c4898be3aa9b68c49c5116cb5aa4f4c[/url] Also Backburner lost it's damage advantage
poor backburner.. :(
[quote]--- September 27, 2011 --- General: Updated the loadout preset system based on feedback Updated the flow of the class select screen Gameplay: Removed the +10% damage bonus from The Backburner[/quote] I call BS, those aren't changes that require a 200mb patch
Removed the +10% damage bonus from The Backburner Ah, finally.

Good, the Backburner now makes sense as an "ambush tool" Now it just needs a few minor tweaks so it won't be a crippled flamethrower. Most notably to the airblast cost. Hell, damage penalty + backcrits is more than enough to facilitate normal airblast costs since it'd be the "I AM GOING TO ROAST YOUR ASS INSTEAD OF YOUR FACE" weapon. The damage bonus was the entire reason that bad players still flock to it, it just screams "USE ME FOR SCORCING THEIR FACES" to them.
