valve don't ever get anything right - how long will it take you dumbies to figure this out?

do you really think the competitive community petitioned valve for stupid-ass '100% crit upon capture' mechanics, or pointless and biased medals? valve are full of their own arrogant bullshit and steer the game according to their own blind sense of direction; no one elses'.

The CTF thing is actually a cvar that can be set to any number at all (default is 10 obviously), including 0. So if server owners don't want it, they don't have it.

How is that a 'new thing'?

So many of these fucking idiots have never played TFC or any earlier version of the series, clearly.

What? What's that got to do with anything?. Where has anybody said 'this feature for the Scout is unlike anything in a Team Fortress game ever'.

Stop making pissy comments when there is no reason for them.

edit: New trick for the Spy to use

People making YouTube videos showcasing a 'New Feature' are people that are just shit. It doesn't take a 'forum discovery' to figure that the changes made to the FaN tweak and boost the Scout's ability to double/triple jump. It's like making a video after the tweaking of Soldier rocket-boost changes saying "New Soldier Rocket-Jump Feature!" just because it gives you 2 metres more take-off. Yawn. People that spend their time discussing and watching this shit just boggle the mind.

Update.

August 17, 2009 - Team Fortress 2/Day of Defeat: Source Update Released

Updates to Team Fortress 2 and Day of Defeat: Source have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Day of Defeat: Source


Fixed an engine crash


Team Fortress 2

Updated PL_Hoodoo. Changes from community mapmaker Tim Johnson:

"Added a balcony at 2-1 that I've rotated and cleaned up so it's a much better point, it attracts less sentry spam but is still holdable. 2-2 has a bit more breathing room and the one way route between BLU/RED spawn in stage 3 has gone and in its place some stairs up to the second level accessible from BLU's side."

Added "tf_ctf_bonus_time" ConVar to set the CritBoost bonus time for capturing the intelligence (0 to disable it)

Added "tf_arena_first_blood" ConVar to toggle the first blood feature in Arena mode (0 to disable it)

Added missing snowpuff particles for DX8 players

Fixed rocket jumping

Fixed sticky bomb attachment to props. They will now only ignore the saws in sawmill

Fixed Scouts going into reference pose in double jumps

Fixed the Ubersaw not displaying team colors

Fixed Spies disguised as RED Scouts not cloaking properly

Removed two more text messages for TF_FLAGTYPE_ATTACK_DEFEND CTF game mode

?

yeah was borked. I was just trying it a bit ago, it's like the crouch wasn't being registered in the jump, instead you flew like a rock.

That update causes the game to crash on startup in DX8 mode, which is unfortunate because I have to run it in that mode to get a playable framerate.

We still have this:

Does this mean we no longer get hilarious deathcam shots of scouts in midair with their legs flailing about in awkward positions?

I don't think so. Since the Classless Updates, Scouts often went into 'civilian' mode during a double jump.

Have you actually seen what it does? It's nothing like a slight boost to the double or triple jump, and it's certainly an unintended side effect of the new knockback physics. It launches you straight upwards almost as high as a rocket jump, and can completely change how you move through levels as the Scout.

So yes it is worth making a video over.
