Major TF2 Update released.

[crazydog]

 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

Of  course they have to do it when I'm home for a month and only have my laptop.......

I will update the server tomorrow morning.

I should be able to play a lot the next 30 days (albeit I'll have bad graphics) due to Winter Break....I'd like to see how the new changes affect gameplay.

What's really cool is the teleports can be upgraded from either end, so you can have an engie across the map upgrading your teleporter for you without having to run back to spawn.

This maka me happy.

If you're wondering what the achievement on HUD thing looks like, here it is:



You have to reconnect to a server for it to show up once enabling. Looks like it'll be helpful on achievement maps more than on regular ones.

I wish it would show how many of each you had instead of just a bar.

The level 3 telle is AWESOME! Recharges in about 2 seconds! Oh, and the spies getting cloak back from ammo packs is retarded!
