The Force of Nature

The enemy knockback now only works in close range and behaves more like the Pyro's air blast
Enemies cannot be juggled by the FaN's effect
The self-knockback has also changed to respect the firer's view angle. Looking up while shooting will no longer propel the enemy upwards
Knockback is now scaled by damage done


The Sandman

A Scout will receive 1 point for stunning an enemy and 2 points for a long range stun
Stunned players now take 75% of all incoming damage instead of 50%

Fixed Heavy "civilian" exploit
Fixed a set of exploits using the DXSupport config files
Fixed r_screenfademinsize and r_screenfademaxsize exploits
Fixed sentries firing at a fully cloaked Spy if they're still the closest target


Community requests


Added a HUD element for hybrid CTF & CP maps

Supports 1 or 2 flags, and any number of CPs
Mapmakers need to place a "tf_logic_hybrid_ctf_cp" entity in their map to enable it


Added custom kill server log text "train" and "saw" for deaths caused by these environmental hazards

Format: "%s<%i><%s><%s>" committed suicide with "world" (customkill "%s") (attacker_position "%d %d %d")


Added new "medic_death" event for server logs

Format: "%s<%i><%s><%s>" triggered "medic_death" against "%s<%i><%s><%s>" (healing "%d") (ubercharge "%s")

healing is the amount the Medic healed in that life
ubercharge (1/0) is whether they died with a full charge




Added "func_respawnflag" trigger entity. It will remove & return the flag if a flag carrier touches it, or if the flag falls into it

[Sel]

in other news valve also broke the game again

[Ganon]

About time they altered the FAN and sandman

[ODX]

The Sandman now can't stun ubercharged enemies...OK that's good, but what the fuck, -25 health instead of no double jump?!

[Jelly]

Well, that means he can be oneshotted before he uses his trolling stick.

[Sel]

good

fuck sandman scouts

[Ganon]

that's what I do on trips to the fridge

i much perfer to lose 25.

[ultama121]

Yukon is a grate map.

[Needles]

Anyone else notice that when playing with the dead ringer cloak is only around 4-5 seconds now instead of 8 :maddowns:

[Bodzilla]

NO!!!1

juggling people was the best thing about the scout :'(

caught a sticky jumping heavy once, blew him up into the air then bonked him on the way down.
poor bastard never had a chance :(

i think i'll stick with the baseball bat though.

[Bodzilla]

whats all this crit boost shit about?

"Fixed being able to shoot pipebombs over the starting gates in the first round"
this is tremendous news.
:awesome:

[n00b1n8R]

Where'd you get the -25 health info from Sel?
The Valve Classless Update page lists it as -30. (http://www.teamfortress.com/classless/) :raise:

Also, I think I'll start to seriously look into the trollstick now that I can keep my prescious doublejump. And the pulling the hand up while cloaked thing has been pissing me off since they put it in so :iamafag:

I'd say I'm really happy with this update but they got rid of the civ-heavy again. :smith:

[OmegaDragon]

Ubercharged players can no longer be stunned






Yet they left the achievement to stun ubercharged enemies with the sandman in :realsmug:

[English Mobster]

Being able to stun ubercharged people was one of the reasons why I used the damn thing. Took out the uber Heavy so my team stood a chance when defending those CPs on Dustbowl.

Scout is an offense class.

[n00b1n8R]

Scout is an offense class versatile as fuck.
ftfy :eng101:

He's still possible, youtube that shit :D

[Syuusuke]

Still? haha,
also that crit boost only happens when your teammate captures the intelligence or you're the winning team at the end of the round.

Wouldn't kritskriegs do it too? (or is a critboost different from 100% crits?)

[Sel]

Where'd you get the -25 health info from Sel?


I just double checked the latest update page, it still says 25 here.

[n00b1n8R]

I just double checked the latest update page, it still says 25 here.
jeez valve, make up your mind. still says -30 on the Classless Update day 3 page.

[itszutak]

Yeah the effect shows up on Kritzs, ends of rounds, and when you cap the flag.

[p0lar_bear]

Yet they left the achievement to stun ubercharged enemies with the sandman in :realsmug:

They altered it so stunning a Medic with a ready charge nets you the achievement.

What's next? Ubers get immunity to all forms of knockback?

fakeedit: Also, today's update:

Bullet spread algorithm changed to fire a bullet right down the crosshair under these circumstances: The first bullet of a spread weapon (except for rapid fire spread weapons like the minigun)
The first bullet of a non-spread weapon if it's been >1.25 seconds since firing

TF2 is now CSS. Enjoy. (Yes I know this only applies to the pistol and one pellet of the shotgun.)

Yes please.

(Yes I know this only applies to the pistol and one pellet of the shotgun.)
Where does it say that exactly?

[Botolf]

Can't wait to shoot Snipers in the nuts with my little Engie pistol. I'm going to be so annoying :iamafag:

[Daishi]

The Sandman now can't stun ubercharged enemies...OK that's good, but what the fuck, -25 health instead of no double jump?!

IMO, exactly the opposite is good. The sandman should be able to stun ubered d00ds, and the -25 instead of no dbl jump makes me very happy. The whole point of the scout is to avoid fire by moving rapidly.

[p0lar_bear]

Yes please.

Where does it say that exactly?

Any semi-auto weapon with spread that fires bullets. This includes the pistol, revolver, and shotgun/scattergun/FaN, and excludes the minigun, syringe guns, flamethrowers, grenade launchers, smg, sniper rifle, and huntsman.

Seems weird to give the revolver a 100% accurate shot when that's one of the specific advantages of the Ambassador. >_>

[Sel]

anyone using the ambassador is gay anyway
