    But really now I hate that map and I hope it corrupts to the point of unplayability on every server ever. It doesn't help that most of the time the "Cancel" button for the loading box is purely decorative.

    Almost like you need a fresh, new map to be releaseed

    It makes perfect sense. What's the problem? Critgun increases the amount of crits, ubersaw speeds up the charging of ubers/crit ubers.

    No the fact that waiting would make it better

    The longer it takes to put out the update the longer I can play without increased ubers/crits.

    Actually I've hated that map since the outset.

    The funny part is that bitches like tryanus used to mock me for it, and now they're all coming around to my way of thinking

    Because it's a badly designed map, not just an overplayed one

    Demobowl can get awful annoying, particularly the last stage of it. Hurray, spamming corridors with stickies, that's always fun. I do like busting into the BLU starting area as a pyro while defending though. Especially with uber.

    I like dustbowl except for the last stage. That part of the map it appears some college student threw it together very quickly. Horrible layout that is really not typical of what Valve does.

    Healing at 150% doesn't give any healing points, unless for some reason they add to your stats and not the scoreboard.

    So, I think its stupid to not agree.

    What? Its been my experience that when someone says "the week of <date here>" it means the week starting from that date. So starting today and between now and next Sunday.

    Welcome to the TF2 thread son

    The hyperbole aisle is right behind the whine counter

    Make sure you have a "GOD DAMN CRITS" form filled out in order to get served.

    And I genuinely think the last point of Dustbowl is a rare example of rotten design in a Valve map. So thar.

    Somebody just posted a thread on the Steam forums about how they got 10,000,000 healed in 3 hours. It's been deleted, but here it is:
    I played on this server: Capture the Server - Teddy Ruxpins Random Chaos Mario Kart 24/7.

    IP: 72.233.81.10:27018

    The server has like unlimited ammo, 50 health per second, theres no limit on how many sentries you can have, and every hit is a critical. Any who, medics are like invincible on the server, the only thing that can kill you is if you fall too high or if you get backstabbed by a spy. Since there is no health limit on the server you can just heal people as long as you want and it still counts, and since weapons shoot a lot faster on this server, your medigun will heal a lot faster. Sometimes you can heal for around 3000 per second. If you really wanted to you could just sit in spawn and heal people but I found it to be faster if you just stick with a soldier or heavy. This morning before I started, the amount I had healed was 600,000, and now I have all 10,000,000 points.

    PROOF:

    http://img379.imageshack.us/my.php?image=proof3fe3.png

    Note that if you go OVER 1 million in one sitting, the counter on the scoreboard will reset back to 0, but don't worry because it still counts.

    It's pretty obvious that this achievement will be massively farmed within days to the point that it has no meaning. Valve can't ban people for doing this, because it would mean banning everybody that plays on servers with silly settings.
