Post For all you who suicide rather than burning to death...
One of the changes made in the latest update are going to screw you over :lol:

Quote:
Fixed team switches on Attack/Defense maps spamming the console

Fixed the Kritzkrieg not working on servers with crits turned off

Fixed some clipped localized strings in various in-game dialogs

Fixed several cases where files were synchronously loaded while the game was running

Fixed a shutdown crash in the material system

Cached rendering of item model panels to improve performance, in particular while weapon selection was visible

Added a gear symbol behind the health bar for Engineer buildings, in both target IDs and freeze panels

Players killing themselves will now give a kill credit to the last enemy who damaged them

Fixed grenades, rockets, and flamethrower being able to fire through grates at round starts

Fixed players being killed and creating ragdolls during team switches

Fixed various exploits and performance problems in CP_Badlands, CP_Well, and CP_Fastlane

... ... ... Oh, and for you 'Pyro is overpowered' whingers...

Removed health bonus from the Backburner


(Though admittedly I approve of this last one)

while its nice to have some extra health as pyro, i too have to agree that removing the health boost for the back burner is a very good idea.

I deinfiantly agree with it, giving him extra health made it so sollys had to hit 4 rockets at him which was wrong, pyros didnt have to do anything as they had so much health jsut hold down forwards and click, and if you remeber the backburners introduction, For pyros who like to ambush enemies catch them of guard from behind, n orun at people and now the original flamer will be used more i think rather than every noob and his dog spamming the backburner, hopefuly they wont be so many pyros around now as before it was quite silly, like playing againt a team of agent and eion amd patches where you die instantly every time

almost never use it since the air burst is awesome, but I highly appreciate that Valve listens to the (for once justified) complains... Looking forward to the pyro vs pyro battles, where the BB one tries desperately to get behind me while im juggling him in the air with the air blast :)

Bummer, I always felt vindicated when being burned from behind, turning round and slapping a nade in the face of the miscreant pyro, taking us both down. Somehow it felt like I won. :lol:

Shame :cry:

Great improvements again from Valve, as always they are really listening to the players, more than most other companies. (WAV)

Always felt a little guilty using the Backburner because of the health boost. But no more guilt anymore, I shall ambush away! {FT}

Also superb that those soldiers who are on fire from my burner, will now give me points when they blow themselves up. 8-)

Sounds like I won't be able to light up anyone through the grates now they finally fixed that one :cry:

Great stuff again Valve, keep up the brilliant work :D

sorry for going off-topic, but talking about brilliant work: In that interview posted by cris (i think, not sure), they said they would like to keep up the rythm of a class pack every 5 weeks or so... If you look back, that's soon!!! LOOOOADS of heavies to snipe!! :D

Hmm let's compare the 2 burners now...

BB > No extra health, Definite crits from behind (although sometimes they still don't seem to register)

Normal burner > No extra health, Crits normally (people seem to have forgotten how effective a normal burner can be when critting) and has a compressed air blaster...


I know which one I'll be swapping to....







(the normal one)
