Defaults to on, except in Competitive matches

This means that in comp matches, you can't hear calls from dead teammates? So like if you damage the med a ton but died before you can get the final hit; you can't call how much damage you did and where they are? That doesn't sound too good.

While well intentioned, I fear this will widen the gap between organized and impromptu teams, as the former will likely be communicating using 3rd party software, circumventing this restriction

You can't see calls from dead enemies

But it says "regardless of team". So I would expect that to mean you can't see/hear calls from anyone dead, including teammates.

 

[Hyperion]

Nice! No question about do they listen. I just hope they would tell what they are working on currently

 

[CommodoreKong]

The grave talk change is a very positive one, especially now that they updated comp to use it. Now they just need to update the voice codec for the game to be the higher quality one that CSGO uses so the in game voice chat doesn't sound awful.

color correction

I have hope for this game again.

Phlogistinator

That explains why sometimes I just stand there holding M2 and nothing happens. Good thing it's fixed!

Unusual Cap

Anybody got an image? Nevermind, found it on reddit: http://imgur.com/a/45CWX

Other than that, I gues the OnTruceStart & OnTruceEnd can be quite helpful for making better halloween maps.

While that's really nice, I would have enjoyed an additional input for tf_gamerules like EnableTruce and DisableTruce.
That could be very useful, and right now you need to spawn a halloween boss and the right cvar for the truce to kick in.

From the October 12 update:

Added the ability for community Halloween maps to call a truce during a Monoculus or Merasmus fight

• Can be set via the game rules entity using the SetMapForcedTruceDuringBossFight input

From the October 12 update:

Yes, but those are only for those 2 bosses. I would like to be able to call a truce whenever I want for the skeleton king or even a custom boss

I played on gorge event today and i could see the difference now that color correction is workin' really well.
(so how long did it take valve to fix this?)

 

[Crowbar]

Long. I bet there were like a dozen emails sent to valve about that, and a thread by puxorb.

i even saw the subject on reddit sometimes.

 

[Mikroscopic]

The new I/O is interesting. I'd still like to see an OnKothClockEnd, though.

Phlog change probably affects MvM the most because with tanks it is beneficial to hold M1 and M2 both. Same goes to enemies too but usually you die before you actually start firing after taunt (and when you lose uber from taunting)
