ok this update is nothing but tf2 just set in WWII. if i wanted to play tf2 i could, but i dont. I dont appreciate steam ruining my game. the freeze/kill cam is rather stupid especially on a map like avalanche.
whoever said that weasel guy got lots of kills even with the kill cam, i bet he would get a lot more without it. rather you have skill or not, kill cam will kill you more times than without it. the best way to kill an enemy is to kill him without him knowing where you are. sorry for all you guys out there who enjoy tf2, but im feeling that steam will have to take this update back to the drawing board.
any other thoughts?

Never played TF2, so I can't really echo the sentiment. This is where the kill cam came from I assume? In any event, I like the look of the new patch, from an asthetic point of view for sure...though I can see you grievences with the actual system behind it. I haven't had much problem with sniping [aside from doing it on maps I don't know well..], but I do see your point of view on it.
It's been my experience though I can't speak for Valve or Steam, that bad game patches are rarely rolled back [Thank you very much SOE for ruining SWG..]. I can agree that I would like, if nothing else, to see a server mod come out that might disable it? It seems a lot of people are relatively unhappy with it, and well, that's no good for anyone.
Me? I had a valid galaxies account until Age of Conan came out...and for those of you who don't get what I'm saying...
Games getting borked, doesn't bug me really, as long as I can still have fun...and the people who play make it fun. If they're not happy playing as a result of the new changes and want to leave? Well, that's bad for fun.
It also just occured to me, hence the edit, the reason why I might not view things quite as negatively. I played DoD way back when, before steam, and before it'd even been purchased by Valve. I stopped [cursed MMOs ate my soul], and came back very recently. A lot has changed in various maps and the like, and the Cam does provide me with a bit of knowledge I might not otherwise have without first bashing my head into the wall and getting sniped a handful of times.
This didn't really cross my mind until just a minute ago..and thinking about it? It balances the playing field a bit, but that doesn't mean I support it in this respect. I think having a natural edge from being a more experienced player and knowing where and how to position yourself as a Machine Gunner or sniper, or any class really, is something you learn.
Now, the other factor that I thought about that I
do support? It'll make it really easy to spot people using map exploits and so on. Can't very well use an exploit to shoot anyone from, if someone's going to know as soon as you do it, right?
Then again, I have no idea what the new map expolits are and am really just fishing for positives here.
Play on, Play happy.
