Ur doin it rong.


You do realise that the class balancing system in combat featured in modern MMOs has drawn at least some inspiration in terms of balance from TF2's predecessors, TFC and QTF?

TeamFortress is the grandfather of all class based gameplay in computer games afaik.

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.
..Hats are out? How do you get them?

Also, how'd you get the weapons/unlocks, and how obvious is it when someone drops something?
Alsox2, are there random stats?
Alsox3: to get (for example) Jarate, do you have to kill a Sniper who has it, or can it drop from anyone regardless of them having it or not?
Alsox4: Can people jack your dropped "loot", or can only you grab it?

The game won't start for me - its "currently unavailable", even though people are obviously playing it and I have already downloaded the update. I really dislike the crosshair with the sniper rifle, because it requries absolutely no skill to line up no scope shots. It also makes lining up scope shots ridiculously easy, too, since you know where to start aiming before you scope. Overall, I'm less than pleased with the update. The new systems for getting unlocks is moronic, as well, especially since it insists on giving you ones you have already received. I think Valve could do better than its has been doing with these recent updates.

Played a bit, and so far my vote is gimmicky

Getting the unlocks is freaking weird, I've earned myself 3 nataschas, 1 razorback, 2 sandmans and a FaN. I much rather the old fashion of earning the weapons. Achievements are meh, the picture doesnt show up when you earn them, and now the sniper rifle has a fucking cross hair both while scoped and unscoped. Drives me insane cause i cant see my laser sight as well, and attempts to select "no crossshair" yield nothing. Biggest issue is the teams of 6 snipers 6 spies and 3 or 4 other randoms. At one point, out of 14 players on my team, 9 were snipers -_- Also other minor tick is that they've erased my maximum scores had a 38 point record as an engy, and its transformed itself into 24.

Wait the sniper has a no-scope crosshair now?


I was just getting into the class too.

I've always played with a crosshair so it's always been there for me (Even changes colour constantly so it won't blend with the background ). Granted though sniper is my second least played kit so i haven't really noticed that much of a problem with it.

So what, you only get the unlocks by random drops?

Dammit, I've tried no-scoping with a crosshair before, it cramps my style. The good news is that judging by the slow rate of download, (now 47% over two hous from my last post,) Valve will have made the obligatory "update fix update" by then.

They go in your suitcase thingy like everything else and you have to delete them.

the fuck?  wow.  fucking ridiculous.  there used to be none for everyone.  then there was the selectable one that i kept off.  you just get more satisfaction from no-scopes if you don't have the crosshairs on.  now you ALWAYS have them?!  i'm never playing sniper.  good thing it's like my least played class.

I agree to this too, getting random weapon when playing and no way of knowing what weapon you get is not really fun for who just want the new stuff. Sure its fun for beginners because they have zero new weapon or maybe not.

This unlock system is a disgrace. I despise it, is there any way to cheat and get them all?
