Time for a new event. There can be only one!

Now looking over it, I'm not 100 percent sure what the major changes are supposed to be, the mode doesn't seem that interesting, I'll load it up with bots and look to see if there are any other changes besides it setting a class limit :/

EDIT: One of the major problems I see with having an event about this is that there can only be 18 players, I see how it could be fun, but you see my point? In other news we could do this manually changing the class limits for there to be 2 of some classes instead and have a 32 player version, I would think 2 scouts, 2 demomen, 2 medics, and 2... soldiers or something, to make it so its 16v16

 

[Sabion]

No idea what that means...

 

[Beta]

No idea what that means...

Highlander mode means each team is limited to 9 people each. Then, there can be only one of each class on the team (1 scout, 1 medic, etc)

 

[Thereven]

Yup, multiple teams of 9 each. One team goes down, another rotates in.

 

[Sabion]

Ah...I see...Seems like an interesting idea...

 

[Toasteddude]

I saw Highlander mode and I thought a battle of demos with swords only in a field. Then I saw what it really is and now

 

[Kevimaster]

yeah, it just adds class limits, not that interesting lol

 

[kotahlicious]

[TheHulk]

Blah...lame

 

[Lance]

Figures. I reformat, then exactly a week later they add Steam Cloud to my games. Valve time rears its ugly head again... this time entirely by chance.

Better known as the "Respawn Rule."

 

[? Frisky Dingo ?]

such a lame update.

 

[spidEY]

I like the Steam Cloud support that came with this update.

 

[Believer]

I like the Steam Cloud support that came with this update.

IMO that's the only worthwhile part of the update.

BTW - Does anyone else see the glaring resemblance?

- Duncan MacCloud vs. Steam Cloud
- Highlander mode vs. Highlander TV series

Just saying..

Odd resemblance. I'm gonna go eat bacon on this.

Yeah... 9x2 = 16...

They also added some new bugs. Now whenever there's a crit on the screen, it causes a second of lag on my computer. Even when I fire them.

Crit rockets, nades, arrows, sandman ball, jarate. Any of those with the visual effect makes me lag now, hooray!

Stupid kritzkreig makes me lag constantly.



Dear Valve,

Hire new testers, please.
