Team Fortress 2: Gun Mettle
 
Dammit, they spelt metal wrong.
Team Fortress 2 has recently been given a major update. The major part of this update are the balancing of weapons. Some of your favourite weapons might suck now! Woohoo. You may also find that some weapons are now more practical than other weapons now, such as that rake thing the Pyro has.

Some changes include:
-The Powerjack only gives 25 health as opposed to 75
-The Panic Attack isn't as bad anymore
-The Bazaar Bargain doesn't lose "heads" on misses
-Major Dead Ringer revamp
-Brass Beast has added damage resistance when spun up
... And more! Lots more.

As an added bonus, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's skin system has been implemented into Team Fortress 2, which means you can finally paint your favourite stock weapons for whatever reason. Oh, they also get weathered. Your lovely-looking skins can get ugly. You can check your weapon skins out, similar to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. You can finally see more than just the left-side of your rocket launcher!

If you have $8 lying around, you can receive contracts. They're little objectives you can complete to earn points. I believe you can get a weapon skin if you complete enough of them. Contracts range from getting backstabs as the Spy, or killing a airborne enemy with the Soldier.

A few new features have been added to Team Fortress 2 as well. You can now pick up fallen weapons and use them! You can only pick up weapons that belong to your class, so you can't be a rocket-jumping Scout (unfortunately). You can no longer pick up weapons to gain ammo/metal, but killed players now drop medium-sized ammo crates 100% of the time to compensate.

Three new maps have been added, including the mythical Snowplow! Woohoo!

Also, the competitive scene is coming.

Tf2 is pretty much all i play and it was nice to see this update.

This update made vac complete ass while the jag came out okay. Nothing else really effects me though considering ubercharges don't transfer with mediguns.

20% damage resistance when spun up.
The slow-on-hit target thing now has falloff.
-25% damage.
30% faster spin up.

Those are the new stats.

the csgo update

Obviously the worst update imo

I bought the Kazotsky Kick taunt. Worth it.

How is it the worst update? All the f2p ask for updates, they get them, they hate them. It's a lose , lose situation. Cs:go is owned by valve, lord gaben can do what he wants. On the updates side. My baby loch 'n load is de-buffed and I'm crying , that's all I wanted to say. :)

People say the game is ruined but if they thought for half a second they would realize *cosmetics have 0 effect on gameplay*

I like playing some TF2 and I gotta say this update was the best one I have seen in years as far as balance changes go. Babyface blaster getting nerfed was a long time coming, as were all the engineer nerfs. Vaccinator finally getting the passive crit immunity fixed was way overdue, the other changes to it were strange and unnecessary though. I'm not a huge fan of the Black Box nerf but it's not a big deal. Melee demoman is a blast to play now as well. The pee gun getting buffed was kind of weird but whatever, it's still a pee gun.

It's amazing

I record a lot of demos just playing around on the Valve servers, that was one of my favorite ones. His knees going together is what really sells it I think, and the fact that you can only imagine what his face looks like.

I don't think you understand just how horrible vac is now.

-66% overheal rate
-66% uber charge rate on over-healed allies
No longer builds at the same rate regardless of heal targets
Healing based on matched damage was reduced to 10%


The only upsides are that it no longer consumes entire bars that aren't in 25% increments and you can apply shells to other people. Vac is utter trash now and the only thing it had going for it was crit immunity.
