Competitive will be so intense now. If your medic drops uber, everyone has to rush to defend the medigun, while the other team assaults it. It'll be very interesting to see how this plays out.

Don't be silly, it'll be banned from comp. They'll just ban medics from using any mediguns.

There was some discussion on the HLDS mailing list, and someone mentioned that suiciding used the charge from the previous death, and this was intentional to stop misuse. Though it could easily be a bug.

Consider that a medic could get himself killed with no charge if he wished, just to cause the enemy to react, so his team could take advantage of the minor distraction. You could do it to trick an enemy medic in to dropping his own medigun in exchange for one that is depleted, or just so you could take the enemy's.

Or, sacrifice yourself with no charge. Then in all future encounters, suicide before you are killed so you leave an empty gun!

The thing is if you die with an uber, there's a particle effect for it. At least I'm pretty sure? So teams would know.

There is, and a sound effect. Kind of like a swish gush.

So happy they fixed it in the next update; I was having a lot of trouble with finding the right map for a contract through Quickplay.
