Woot, update! Thanks for the news spidEY!

 

[Hotdog Bill]

would rather have a soldier update but good deal anyways

 

[PepperRabbit]

rather small update, i like the "Fixed thrown sandvich traveling through players before being activated", and "Fixed friendly-fire/spectator exploit using projectiles"

 

[? Frisky Dingo ?]

Glad they fixed this:
Fixed friendly-fire/spectator exploit using projectiles, and do we have this on our servers?? Added server ConVar "tf_teamtalk" to allow alive/dead teammates to talk with each other during a match (default is 0)

 

[Sabion]

Glad they fixed the spectator glitch...

 

[!Woodstock!]

+quickswitch FTW!

I love it. Since I usually play GravelPit and change out my medic guns when switching sides.

Teamtalk would be useful for competitions.

 

[Miiikey]

"Fixed disguised spies not getting ammo from enemy dispensers"

As an engi, I could have done without this one. But I suppose it's only fair since I can use my wrench to beat ammo out of enemy spies.

I'm glad that Valve is always rolling out fixes for things.

Thanks for the info, Spidey!

• Fixed friendly-fire/spectator exploit using projectiles

I would be interested to see if this has also removed the very rare instance of teamkilling someone with your sentry rockets when the sentry is destroyed after the rockets are fired. It must be tested... FOR SCIENCE!

 

[Drip]

Pretty cool indeed. Thanks Spidey.

Don't expect a class update until L4D 2 comes out

I dont play engy a whole lot, but I have had this happen at least three times to me. Its kind of funny, but also annoying.

Also yes I wouldnt expect a class update until at least a few weeks after L4D2 comes out. They will put most of their effort into patching any major issues that arise with L4D2 first.

 

[BoTl1ke]

Some of the servers not updated yet.

 

[kotahlicious]

another minor update.
i guess its good but give us something new.

 

[CheeseW01f]

Thx for the heads-up.

 

[Rovert]

finally my sandvich giving away will be rewarded! I am very generious!
