Recently found out Team Fortress 2 just got an update. And the update affects Engineers, Spies and other map to game related stuff. Here’s the list of changes: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 guess for the Engis and Spies they’ll most likley welcome this update. Which means other classes need to be more aware of the spy!
A quick clan update is we’re getting a new roster of players and we’re looking at scrims this weekend - both Saturday and Sunday. Booyah!
