April 20, 2009 - Team Fortress 2 Update Released

Updates to Team Fortress 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Game Changes

Reworked the character loadout screens to support future features

Added the ability for players to permanently delete items from their inventory using the new Backpack menu. This does not reset achievements. Once an item has been deleted it can never be re-earned

Added the ability for players to reset their player stats using the Reset Stats button on the Stats menu. This does not reset achievements

Added a "player_teleported" game event that is sent when a player is teleported

Updated cp_junction_final to score per-capture instead of per-round. This fixes the map not working correctly with Tournament mode and the stopwatch

Scouts now drop the flag if they're carrying it when they start phasing

Fixes

Fixed instances where Steam connection problems would cause some unlocked items to be unusable

Fixed the custom crosshair menu not clearing itself when "None" is selected for non-English clients

Fixed warning about not being able to execute skill1.cfg when starting the dedicated server

The new inventory has 50 slots, and seeing how there would only be 27 unlocks in total with the old interface, something seems a bit odd. Potentially

but odd.

Edit: Upon further inspection, there is now a "head" slot and one for the spy's "invisibility watch"

Valve are up to something.

I want a reset achievements button that doesn't delete the unlocks.

The ability to reset individual achievements would be nice too.

Some cabinets or a new object like a bin full of gear that can be used for the first 5 or so seconds is needed in arena too. I hate spawning in arena and being stuck with unlocks that are unsuitable. Specifically the drink.

Apparently Valve are going to implement the unlocks differently in the future, and so if you delete them then you could get them back but for now DO NOT TOUCH THAT BUTTON

The stats reset button resets all stats. It does not un-award achievables but it will reset the ones that you have scored towards but haven't gotten yet.

I still wonder how any of these guys play TF2 and not notice that the classes follow the basic archtypes of MMORPG classes with adjustments for fps gameplay.

Besides, how can it become an MMO if the official recommended player count is............. 24.

Head slot?

I don't believe it. When they announced content for all classes, I joked to Peter that it would be new hats. We lol'd.

But it turns out...

So yeah. 50 slot backpack and the ability (and hence requirement) to delete weapons looks like the gamemode with random weapon drops is finally arriving. Looks like all the rumours were true.

Should be fun to find out what happens.

Some other stuff.

Was wondering about the head slot thingy. I don't know if I'd change them out though unless they came with benefits, I really like the look of each class as it is.

"Attrib_FistsHaveRadialBuff" "On Kill: +50 Health on nearby teammates\nOn Kill: +10% Crit Chance on nearby teammates"

...

Holy shit. Guess Fenris and I will be doing that stupid ninja-heavy shit on 2fort more often.

Yoda I really want thrown nades back in the game for certain classes. Just as long as they aren't as powerful as the ones that ended up being spammed like crazy in TFC. Heavies using clusterfuck nades was annoying.

Maybe have the solly with two nades, replacing shotgun. Dunno what kind of damage/damage spread/splash radius and such you'd give them though. Lob the two nades into an engy base/cluster of camping noobs then charge in with the rocket launcher and ASPLODED EVERYTHING.

Still, can't wait for what valve is doing next. I seem to like almost everything they add to this game. Except Egypt.
