I don't give a fuck, I have my soldier's hat. Public TF2, sorry to play the same old tune, has always been shit. Maybe some of you will be driven to play in proper matches now with controlled gameplay and lots of actual fun, instead of a bunch of mixed-random party-tricks mashed together in a 24-player virtual nightmare.

What does everyone else think of the double-Payload? Doesn't really work, does it? The middle stage is an absolute joke; it's a mess of pointless corridors, long ways around that seemingly lead to nowhere and aren't worth taking, and a middle-tunnel encounter that is nightmarish and spam-heaven. They could have developed the concept FAR better, in my honest opinion. See, this is what happens when an entire community of 14 year olds worship Steam and their all-so-mighty wit and sense of humour: they start to think they can do no wrong. Well, piss-jars, random WoW-style 'epic loot!' item drops, pointless helmets and decoration, noobified score-menus for no apparent reason at all, and the development of crappy arena/double-payload... this is undoubtedly their biggest fuck up yet. And I don't mean that in a post-update irrational whine-thread way either. Nothing long-lasting and good will come of this update. The Ambassador is the next Blutslaughter, yes, it's fucking incredibly overpowered. Changing the way the no-scoped Sniper rifle works for the sake of one achievement as well - was it really so hard to no-scope at close/medium ranges before without the aiming aid? For fuck's sake. One more update and TF2's skill curve will be on-par with CoD4: see, shoot, win, enjoy your pretty one-use gimmicks, quit, uninstall...

I blame Telecom New Zealand.

My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.

The Steam Forums are a big "lol".

For once I hope Valve regard them with some seriousness and consideration though... fuck, these changes need to be reverted.

I'll have to agree on the scoreboard. Using logos for classes instead of the actual text name....It's a pain Also, greyed out names instead of a big skull...why not both? I will say its nice to see the domination counts though.

Seems to be full of bugs. A favourite server of mine keeps insisting it's full, when I finally got in it turned out there were 12/24. Then I got disconnected, (I blame Telecom New Zealand,) and tried to join again - lo and behold it's magicaly full again.) This I'm prepared to put down to my capped internet but I seriously think that "earning" weapons you have already is a bug.

There needs to be some serious reworking. The Dead Ringer is just a huge annoyance with Spies equipped with it just hanging around waiting for someone to cough at them so they can use it.
