lol, "He punched all of my blood out! all of it!"

Valve is awesome. They are about the only game company that is in touch with current internet jokes, and they can pull of some funny jokes too :cool1:

I still can't believe the heavy actually says "OMNOMNOM" while eating. wonder if it will be like that in-game?

its exactly like that ingame, its awesome.
Natasha sounds ultra sexy and the instakill taunt has incredible range.

the instakill can kill from a distance? omg

EET IZ GUD DAY FOR DOKTOR!

It SAID no timelimit, but then it went and changed JUST before I reached 100k healing Oh well, as much as I dislike 24/7 that was ridiculously fun to play a medic with so many heavies around.

Natasha does sound awesome, as does the backburner.

ha, i know, i was having a field day with the kritzcrieg, far more effective with so many heavies

I'm gonna grind out Natascha just because of how she sounds. I don't care about any of the other unlocks, although the sandvich is quite funny too.

I love arena mode. I think it's taking people a bit to adjust and be more careful, but I had a lot of fun with it. I'm hoping Valve can add some more cvars that allow unbalanced teams and allow the server admin to specify the threshold where teams switch from 2 to 3. Right now we had 5-5 and 1 person had to sit. That's just silly... 5-6 would have been fine.

I don't think I'll use sasha, I can't see a huge advantage, and realisticly I cant forsee using anything other than the KGB....

but then, I don't play as heavy :laugh:

 

[drp]

is it me, or are there less heavies than there were medics and pyros to their unlocks?

 

[grazr]

Heavies have more significant weaknesses and i guess people have chosen to kill heavies more than get the achievements asap, probably because they are happy with their pyro and medic ones at present. There are an aweful lot of snipers, spies and pyro's.

the update has given heavies the attention they deserve, but alot of people dont really care THAT much anymore for unlocks, so they prefer to backstab those temping huge backs

badwater basin ... I don't know. It feels a little, ... unfinished. Sure the layout is amazing! but it seems like they went through a lot less effort in detailing the map. there are some rooms who just have NO detail ...

the arena I havent played more then a few games on, but I like what I see so far. Although it would be more fun if you could team up with your friends instead of getting randomly assigned. The maps for arena are small, and don't really allow much camping.

also the kritzkrieg got a buff, and now I actually see people using it! perhaps its becauseof all the heavies, but a kritz charges that much faster (went from 10% to 25% more then the normal medigun)

all in all, very nice update!

When your in arena mode and its heavy vs heavy that 25% makes a huge difference.

on dustbowl my team was:
3 medics, 1 pyro, 8 heavies

on arena matches there was only 1-2 heavies per team
