- the only way to gain health from the sandvich is by eating it. - nerfed Sadvich is sad sadvich


- Added somethign special for someone special:

Introducing the "Something Special For Someone Special". It's ring-shaped, it's gift-wrapped, it's basically useless, and it's really expensive ($100!). In short, it's the most accurate simulation of an actual Valentine's Day gift ever made available to the public.

Here's how it works:

First, it's not tradable, only giftable. When it shows up in your special someone's backpack, they can click on it to open a menu that will let them accept your proposal. Once the proposal's been accepted, a message will be broadcast to the entire TF community that will include your name, your special someone's name, and whatever you decided to call the ring. Then presto, the gift turns into two matching diamond bands you can wear in the rain while you smooch up a storm, you crazy kids.

About time they short-circuited that end-run around having to stop and eat the darn thing.

[Kazoo]

Although I don't play Heavy much, I'm saddened by this change to the Sandvich.
How are my patient Heavies supposed to help me?

Also, that's one expensive ring! :O

 

[Additional Pylons]

i feel that that ring item is rather stupid. if you want to give someone a ring, do it IRL. I do not agree with the heavy sandvich no longer granting health to heavy if dropped and picked up. its alright if it can still heal your pocket medic through this method though. it can still heal teammates right? RIGHT?!?!

I'm sure it can still heal teammates but I think its more so its not just instant health gain without downfall

 

[Shiznoe]

I love the ring idea but $100!

 

[Sequel Sentry]

Valve is so advanced they had this update done two years ago!

 

[Wilson!!]

Im sure they will get plenty of people to buy the rings at the start, but I bet they will either lower the ring prices or get rid of them after today or something. I would rather buy a virtual ring, not for $100, but that rather than a ring IRL.

 

[Ludicrous]

I Knew it!!!!!!

 

[Ayako]

Some of the proposals were really funny.

Too bad about the sandvich. Definitely came in handy as a last-second health pack.

really hope not. else, these rings will be worth $500 afterward :scared:

 

[Fullmetal]

oh god

 

[Believer]

Wow, I was too busy enjoying Valentine's Day with my wife (who I proposed to irl, with a real life ring worth >$100) to play on the update day. If the ring were a little more practical in price, I might actually do this again.

Also, the whole heavy sandwich thing: is it so that if you're a heavy and you drop it you can't eat it, or have they disabled the drop itself? I'm confused.

 

[Ezekiel]

Wow... I really hope sandvich can still be thrown for teammates....that's the main reason I even use it.

 

[Ludicrous]

So basically If i am Heavy and i throw it and pick it up it gives me ammo, ohh boy. If I throw it and a teammate gets it they get health. The only way for the heavy to get health is to actually stop and eat it (not throw it on the ground and run over it)
