Mine isn't even updating.

When I try launching it, it tells me the servers are too busy.

The Spy-tele using update is awesome though.

New content aside: the updates and fixes they have introduced sounds pretty good. 2 new ways to extinguish flames too, no more W+M1 pyros!

Not so much as the standard of playstyle that they represent... any changes that make them less /rageworthy gets my thumbs up.

Well whether you do or do not play in pubs, I highly doubt we'll see a decline in M1+W Pyros.

Adding some depth to a class like Pyro won't encourage the zombie idiots from changing their play style. You'd have to do something like remove after-burn damage to do that.
..But it is awesome for the smarter Pyros.

You have to run quests for in-game NPC's and grind on Dustbowl/Goldrush to get enough gold to buy them.

Jeez didn't you get the memo?

Sounds like new weapons randomly drop.

Played it the spy buff is quite good. Even though I don't think they needed it. It's cool that you can now see who you are disguised as. However it no longer says no disguising as a pyro etc. Which I kind of don't like. The knife changes position when you are in backstab range. All in all very cool at the moment I can't be bothered playing with all the stupidness going on.

The first battle I was in, I protected the cart, died, then respawned with the Razorback. Haven't used it yet since everything is broken but strange anyway

Once people realize that unlocks aren't tied to achievements, the class balance goes back to normal

Got Cloak and Dagger. It drains lots faster I think... Or maybe just placebo. Need to test more.

Epic lame tbh - you can't stealth before getting hit, which is basically saying LOOK AT ME I HAVE THE DEAD RINGER!

Played a while after update.

Got a soldier's helmet almost instantly... guess it recognises my awesomeness with that class .

The random unlock thing is completely useless, I also got the spy-watch and 2x Scout shotguns during an hour's worth of play. Why? What's the point in this new distribution system? Seems completely without merit and purpose. It felt more like a lucky lottery, or dare I say it, World of Warcraft than an FPS game in that pub-server just then. "Look guys he dropped phat loot! I rolled the lucky dropchance %!" etc.

The new map and double-Payload doesn't really work as well as I thought it would. Extremely spammy, feels very cramped and small. The best parts of goldrush and badwater were the fact that they were open maps with lots of room to jump around in and snipe at long-distances. This new double-payload not only has twice the amount of action, but seemingly half the space. Loads of pointless claustrophobic corridors as well. Not particularly blown away on that one.
