Check it out guys, new steam update went out today!

December 11, 2008 - Team Fortress 2 Update Released

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

Team Fortress 2


The Engineer's teleporters can now be upgraded to level three. It will recharge faster the higher level it is

The Engineer's dispensers can now be upgraded to level three. It will give out metal and heal faster as it is upgraded

Spies will be able to recharge their cloaking ability by picking up ammo off of the ground or from health cabinets

Some changes to the second part of the first stage of Goldrush to give the attackers more of an advantage

Any weapons that fire bullets (shotguns, sniper's machine gun, heavy's minigun, etc.) can now break apart the Demoman's stickybombs

The icon on the HUD for a person calling for Medic will now give more information to the medic (if the target is low on health, on fire, etc.)

Added an achievement tracker that will allow people to choose specific achievements that they are trying to get

There is now a custom icon for death messages when the player was killed from a critical hit

Added a new particle effect for when a player enters the water

Added smoke to the feet of a rocket jumping soldier

Players will now have some particles swirling around them so other players can see when they are overhealed

i thought i was gonna be most excited about the spy cloak recharge, but as a medic i would have to say this HUD development sounds potentially quite handy. cant play now though. maybe later!

Oh shit, now Commie will be unstoppable. Good thing i'm so good with a pyro.

Ahh Spy updates. Thank you Valve

Erm as i learned through much bitching by other spys. Seems medics now cant overheal spys or the glow shows even through cloaking. I suspect this will be changed but isnt for now. One thing i dont know about this is if a enemy medic heals a disguised cloak will that spy glow their team color or his/her own?

Another sweet thing about the update, relating to spies is that you can infinitely cloak when you are disguised as a enemy, cloaked and sitting on their level 3 dispenser. This is very useful as you can sit and wait for the perfect time to stab, sap n run.

Heres a pic of 2 retard engies dancing around, with no idea that I'm there and about to kill them both. Which I did about 5 seconds after this screenshot.

lol. thats hilarious driver. you should have taken a demo of it!

i just had another update today. i dont know what it is as it only shows the info from this one but it must be some fix. it was pretty small. about 3 min dl on 90k/sec for me.

A spy tried that one on me, apparently he didnt know that the dispenser´s healing aura creates a silouete around an invisible spy...poor guy got wrenched
