what is the black one? I don't recall a weapon exploding heads.

~~Headshot on a Demoman?~~ I actually have no idea, didn't even see that one.

If the laser sentry makes its victims bounce around the map upon shot, it's okay

I heard it was the first headshot icon for the Ambassador

Aww, I was just coming here to post this. :ohdear:

I don't see the purpose though, sentry bullets are already instant to hit when they're fired. Unless it's a trip wire or something, which'd be so blatantly obvious it'd be useless compared to an actual sentry for defense.

lasers are cool

Probably a more damaging/sets people on fire/faster firing level 1 sentry for the PDQ.
or something

Laser could very well be a longer-range sentry with a slightly longer warmup time.

tried turning on -funnygibs to see if it would fix stuff but it doesn't work for some reason

time to reinstall

I got another KGB :V That's my fourth or so since the drop system got updated again!

Also, do you people play on a specific server or something?

finally got me a backburner
it only took a few months

I can actually ambush people as pyro in arena again!

EDIT: it still isn't good enough to take over the original flamethrower, though. Only for arena.

Mounting Jaggis · « **Reply #103 on:** May 29, 2010, 01:38:13 AM »

Wow, some DH Soldiers have ridiculously bad aim. I just saw one who couldn't hit a level 1 sentry... 5 feet in front of him. His medic even had to hit uber so he doesn't die.

communist unity (comm-unity) · « **Reply #104 on:** May 29, 2010, 01:49:54 AM »

The DH is something you absolutely have to use custom crosshairs with. It's not too hard to hit stuff so I don't know how people can be so bad with it.

Tapsa · « **Reply #105 on:** May 29, 2010, 03:50:26 PM »

DH kills more stuff with the blast damage than head-on explosions.

Which is sad, because it really shouldn't work that way.

I don't even get why people use the DH. Rockets kill anything in 2 hits up close anyway, even with the mini-crit airshot on the DH considered, and at long range the DH's falloff is so severe that it does less damage than rocket splash damage. And on that note, the RL actually does splash damage.

Only use I've found for the direct hit is giving me something to reflect that the soldier will definitely not dodge. BV

Helion · « **Reply #107 on:** May 30, 2010, 11:38:01 AM »

People in competitive play have, with no exception I've seen so far, gone back to all standard unlocks, except for the Equalizer, the Bonk and the Kritzkrieg. Unlocks really need some changes, not seeing them around at all in this game type makes me sad.

Esoterica · « **Reply #108 on:** May 30, 2010, 04:14:48 PM »

Not quite true, unlocks are generally too specific to use normally though. I've seen the FaN, Jarate, Huntsman, Ubersaw, Backburner, Flare Gun, Axtinguisher, Sword'n'Board (not post-nerf), Sandvich, KGB, Ambassador, Buff Banner, and DR used by top-tier teams at some point.

Helion · « **Reply #109 on:** May 30, 2010, 04:28:53 PM »

Yes, I wasn't quite clear with that. All medic unlocks are used, especially Blutsauger and Ubersaw, they're so ingrained in the concept of playing nobody even notices anymore. Pretty much like the Axtinguisher is. Jarate you'll only ever see if situation calls for a sniper, but they usually stick to headshotting. Buff banner never seen, direct hit is being snobbed, the FaN is extremely situational and few scouts sacrifice the chance to hit 6 times. This, at least, in div 5-6 and 4, somewhat.

communist unity (comm-unity) · « **Reply #110 on:** May 30, 2010, 04:30:38 PM »

I'm pretty sure you'd see the buff banner/jarate/sandvich used more in top tier teams. Buff banner is pretty much a mini-kritz to your team. It can make a difference. Sandvich seems better than the shotgun now that the heavy has a faster spin-up time on his minigun.

Actually, I think the spin-up time on the minigun more or less equals the time it takes to switch out your shotgun now. :V

I said DR, not DH. :V

Anyway, I haven't seen a Blutsauger since the "-2 HP/sec" effect was added. That means 40 needles/minute to keep up with syringe gun's passive regen. And FaN I wasn't specific on, but I've only seen it in places where Pyros are used for airblasting (Gravelpit C, Badlands, etc).

You could get a prepaid card or something.

Iryan · « **Reply #116 on:** May 30, 2010, 07:37:24 PM »

Hmmm, maybe the Laser!Sentry is a Sentry with a sniper scope that has a higher firing delay, slow firing shots and only a small field of coverage but in exchange gets powerful shots with a high range that can headshot you if you stand still in it's view. That would also explain the new headshot symbol.

God I'm dreading the engy update. Chances are people will start playing him even more than they do now, even in arena, meaning that playing Scout will become a pain for some time...

Maybe it would be like Tribes 2's sniper rifle, where even a fully charged headshot isn't enough for a kill. :V

GMOFucker: Makin' GMOs To Fuck 'Em · « **Reply #119 on:** May 31, 2010, 06:12:30 AM »

Maybe it's not even going to be used and Valve just put it there to mess with us because they knew we'd find it :V
