Exactly as the rumour descrtibed of course.

The center control point will ensure there's no turtling .

No turtling means better scout but I wont be playing scout for a long time anyway until heavies get over the nastacha phase

It's going to be so different. Dispensers are going to be invaluable, teleporters can have a completely different use altogether (escape teleporters to a dispenser), and level 3 sentries are going to be almost non-existant.

And thats just Engy. Medics are going to be more rewarding (and a bigger target) than usual, the Kritzkrieg is going to be useful for a change, the Flare gun will also be a good tool for whittling down enemy health.

I'm actually getting quite excited for this. Mostly because I want to play on the green map . But also because I can't wait to see what they've done to the current 3 that they're crossing over.

The only thing i'm not sure about is critical hits. Usually i'm all for them, they can be very handy and i dont mind being killed by them. However when there's no respawn I think i'd prefer them to be disabled. I'm sure a lot of servers will disable them, because this gamemode in general seems a lot more 'serious'.

Edit: Ha. Reading the Steam forums thread and I just got to a bit where they mirror my thoughts on the crits exactly for this new gamemode.

I agree. Sudden Deaths are one of the best parts of TF2, and a gamemode that is just one big sudden death would be

You realise that after 60 seconds a control point appears in the middle and whoever gets it wins the game instantly?

Turtling will not work in this new gamemode, end of story. The only engies you'll get will be front line ones building dispensers to keep their team alive and setting up 'ambushing' level 1 sentries.

Yup . I think without that control point it just wouldn't work. It's be like SD where everyone crowds around the Sentry and waits for the other team to appear.

Not gonna happen in this mode .

The video is awesome, Although I was expecting a class vid instead.

I would have to agree with Miggle here, the Sandvich for an unlock sucks royally.

I'll take the versatility of a shotgun over the sandvich any day. Guess the only unlocks I'll actually use are the boxing gloves.

Sandvich is good if you're a solo heavy, but I have to agree with Fat_Swinub in all other instances.

Steam's being fucking overloaded right now. Took me forever to get onto the heavy update page.

Honestly, the Sandvich doesn't sound that horrible...certainly will be useful for Arenamode but I don't plan to play it that much.

Otherwise a medic does just fine.

Anyone else having trouble updating?

I can't even launch the tf2 updater...everytime I double click on tf2, it tells me my steam ticket has expired and that I should reenter my password to continue.

Kind of pissing me off...

I can't start the update either. I don't really care though. I'd rather get some epic backstab streaks while everybody else is heavy.
