Team Fortress 2 Sniper Update Info, Pyro Megaton

Fully updated, but when I load the game it says Steam is offline, so I can't do anything since all the servers are still old. Boo
 
Classes have icons on the scoreboard now, and you can kill people with the knife taunt x)
 
Not sure if old news but...

I'm gathering from the comments that people have cheated their way into using all of the weapons instantly per usual? Nice. :P
No, they're not obtained with achievements at all.

Oh snap! I'm going to see if I can open these.

My Steam friend list isn't loading...anyone else having the same problem?
The Steam servers are being hammered, they just went up for me and now I can access my unlocks also.

And if the Medic Pack had retroactive then it was the only one as none of the others have been like that.

Also scoreboard seems to have medals (?)
 
Yeah, this is way too unstable right now, and I've got other games I can be playing. It's been a long time since I played TF2, but waiting a few days for things to die down and get fixed seems good.

It seems it won't be through achievements because it doesn't look like Sniper and Spy have 'milestone' achievements.
They were useless anyway.

Can anybody explain how the unlockables work?
 
READ THE PATCH NOTES

Medals have to do with how many dominations you have, and now everyone can see if you have a ton of dominations and even help you out I guess.

Yes, you can now find random weapon pick ups, and it doesn't matter what the class. There's a little message on the bottom right of the screen that let's everyone know you picked it up. I saw a Spy find a Jarate and FAN.

I like the little symbols, although with 9 classes it's faster for me to hit ',' and get a class layout that way, but the fact that the symbol disappears when they're dead let's you get a feeling of dread when you can quickly see only 3 of your 12 are still left alive to guard your cart.

This not just for Pyros, but other classes: FRIENDLY PYROS CAN PUT OUT YOUR FIRE SO STAND THE HELL STILL.

Servers that don't let me use the Flare gun piss me off in this Sniper filled world.

There are no milestones for unlocks. I just quickly scanned through my Sniper Achievement list and there are no milestones to speak of.

Pipeline has three stages, and since there has to be a winner (well, I suppose time could run out) you'll always advance to the next stage no matter what. Stage A is simple, Stage B has massive flanks, Stage C has no start up time, and ramps that will instantly push your cart backwards if no one is currently pushing it. Or maybe just push it back slower. Not enough time to pay attention, even in death.

I'm Proven on steam, joined the GAF group ages ago, but haven't bothered posting in the thread till now. I have so many threads that I'm subscribed to...

Also, the patch notes say that the first shot of the Ambassador can headshot. Haven't seen it happen yet but watch the hell out.
 
Cheeto's server is up and CAN connect to the Steam servers.

The enemy at the gate achievement is glitched, I just got it, quite a bit after the round had started, for killing an enemy near our gate.

So no more achievement farming?
 
Wow.

Sawmill is just gorgeous. And I love the saws :lol

I played pipeline a little bit. It is certainly interesting. But by far the most interesting thing is that there is a sign on one of the walls that says: Men At Work with the silhouette of a Pyro's helmet.

Clearly Valve is trying to throw us off the trail.

Wow, if you disguise and then do a taunt with your knife out, you can kill people and they won't even know you're attacking. :lol



EDIT: You can get a health from a dispenser while stealth-destroying it at the same time!
