New taunt props all have idle animations, the only one I can see of being real use is crate of beer. the bag of coffee beans has a floating cup with it so.

Uhm, damage ramp up. Does this mean people using the explode stickies in mid air strategy will stop doing that?

just go to reddit.com/r/truetf2 and look at how mad all the demo mains are. Detonating stickies as soon as possible was the only thing that made demos viable in comp.

yesssssss

This is really only going to affect Wrangler users, right?

Also, isn't the c_model system the one used for non-stock weapons? Does that mean they got rid of the v_model + w_model system altogether? Meaning the viewmodels now all look like shit just like the unlockables' do?

classic = awful
base jumper = perfect
turnin targe = the best targe
