[QUOTE=Widow Engie;43678752]It happens so often I'm not sure whether it's a bug or an intended feature that's broken.[/QUOTE] it should be an official thing taking care of a buster needs considerable effort especially when there are other robots to kill nobody ever asked the buster to do friendlyfire. go away valve.

So what I said then?

[QUOTE=Sager;43682972]Its not a bug at all, Its just the buster's gib that doesnt have any type of animation or body parts.[/QUOTE] Wrong. It is a bug, it's not supposed to drop gibs because it's supposed to explode. It doesn't always [t]http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/469794651249905829/4ED5607142819F6DB04A60A4AA0D3A95C445D20F/[/t]

energy kills on giants seem to bug 99% of the time and drop a ragdoll since 2city [thumb]http://www.sourceop.com/hell-met/TF2/giantdoll.jpg[/thumb] small heads and all

So robot shogun heavies will ignore everyone else to kill the medic if they spot him

[QUOTE=R.M.T.B.;43687275]So robot shogun heavies will ignore everyone else to kill the medic if they spot him[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Zannabluke;43687563]I presume that's a common trait for bots. Like, they'd ignore a disguised Spy until he backstabs someone.[/QUOTE]

it's like the AI knows how to play the game they were designed for!

[url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1520[/url] It's somewhat out of date - you'll probably need to fiddle with mod_texture.txt to get it to work.

Resistances are criminally underrated in MvM, they'll save your skin in so many occasions. Biggest example for me was pre-nerf Empire Escalation. On Wave 4 as Engi I balanced out between resists and sentry upgrades since I found myself dying tons. During my winning attempt I only died once and I was able to tend my buildings thanks to the resists. Only problem is when you're smacked by a crit rocket you tend to be sent flying into the skybox, so making your way back to the front can be annoying. Still, resists are awesome.

I wish I had friends who actually Manned Up. I'm stuck with pubs, and while I can deal with the idiocy (most of the time), I wish I could actually, y'know, play around with different classes and experiment with different weapons instead of the standard Engineer-Scout-Heavy-Demo-Soldier-Medic core shit gets boring

[QUOTE=The_Gardek;43691857]You can always join Boot Camp and play Sniper-Sniper-Sniper-Spy-Sniper-Tomislav Heavy[/QUOTE] correction I'd like to have fun while I play with non-core sets

Made a killicon for the medic shield. Looks kind of boring I think, not sure what else to add [img]http://puu.sh/6AIDq[/img]

[QUOTE=sergiuung;43694742]Made a killicon for the medic shield. Looks kind of boring I think, not sure what else to add [img]http://puu.sh/6AIDq[/img][/QUOTE] It looks fine like that. Kill-icons are supposed to be obvious as to what they are and simple/subtle, it does that fine.

could valve please fuck-off with all those sandman scouts? minor league, major league, hyper league, jumping, giant major league, giant armored, giant jumping stuns are shit. get it through your skull. give them a sun-stick with +300% damage instead

[QUOTE=sergiuung;43694742]Made a killicon for the medic shield. Looks kind of boring I think, not sure what else to add [img]http://puu.sh/6AIDq[/img][/QUOTE] Oh my, it's beautiful! I always thought that killicons should be more similar to what the weapons are, but then it would be... a square. So yeah, this is perfect.

Still unsure if I like how it turned out. I'd like to somehow use the horizontal space more efficiently [img]http://puu.sh/6BUEm.jpg[/img] Changed the electricity to stars. Think it's kind of unfitting though.

Older version was better

Hmm, in that case.. [img]http://puu.sh/6BVtw.jpg[/img] Made the electricity bigger.

If anything I would suggest to make an effect like the Pomson/CM5000/Bison laser effect from these improved killicons, with a short laser coming off from the shield to each side.

[QUOTE=sergiuung;43706138]Hmm, in that case.. [img]http://puu.sh/6BVtw.jpg[/img] Made the electricity bigger.[/QUOTE] it's fine as it is. although since mercs are always red in mvm you might aswell make the electricity red/orange.

[QUOTE=Punchy;43706691]it's fine as it is. although since mercs are always red in mvm you might aswell make the electricity red/orange.[/QUOTE] It's barely noticeable that way
