Thread: Update coming?

Next week?

There is something in the air. Minor? Major? I don't know.

There is an update coming, and we have been expecting a significant one, but I don't know if this is that one.

What makes you say that? I sure hope so, but I don't think I've heard any news on that front...

You just did.

From the HLDS mailing list:
"There is still some work going into the next update for Team Fortress 2. We
were hoping to have this out this week, but with the extra testing we need to
do, the update has been pushed back to early next week. This update will
include the timeout fix during map change.

Oh, but that's just about stability, right? It'll fix that thing where people DC between maps, which has been happening far more often lately.

I sense a bit more than that in it. That's why I started this thread.

To be totally honest I hope icky's sixth sense is right on this... Though they'll probably just release info about the map in chunks like they did with Heavy.

In the Escapist interview, they said they wanted to change how Engineers and Spies work, saying that turrets are too weak against skilled players and disguises not as effective anymore.

But that will probably take a while to get addressed.
