    So apparently there's a +quickswitch command that allows you to change the loadout of your current weapon. (Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a way to change your inviso-watch for the Spy, which sucks because that's the item I change the most.)

    I need to read the patch notes more often.

    Use 5 for the spy's watches.

    Baroque Samson is so pissed at me for dominating his ass all night with Huntsman.

    It was glorious even though I was having terrible audio problems.

    Has anyone else been getting bad audio glitches since the last update?

    Like the volumn of people's voices jumping wildly from very quiet to ear damaging loud?

    Or random sound effects like shotguns and rockets occasionally giving out big bursts of ear drum bursting noise

    Does anyone else every here the "click click" noise the rocket launcher makes after firing it? It's pretty impossible to hear while playing with other people but load up a map by yourself and listen for it. I swear it's there. And the really weird thing is when you have headphones on it sounds like it's coming from way behind you in actual space and not in game.

    I kept thinking that someone was knocking on my door or that someone outside was hammering on something untill I realized it was coming from the rocket launcher.

    Hey Wex,

    Thanks for the post. It was me asking for the backstory whilst we were effing around on arena.

    and when the hell are the servers full? i can't spare the 1.5 hrs to play l4d2, and would just love to jump in and kill some mans for 20 minutes at a shot....

    Thanks again

    In an effort to not just simply C&P every post I do in the SE thread, I'll just say there's some awesome shots of tonight in there and you guys should check em out.

    Also, I think it was -Joe- who was asking about the Backstory to this game that I love so very very much.
    Like I said, it originated in many different sites unlike say, the Portal backstory, but if you start with this page from the TF2 Wiki, you should be able to find pretty much everything.

    Again, thanks. It still seems like there is more to the TF2 universe than L4d. Which is really, really sad. Considering the budget differences in the properties.

    Stolen from the SA TF2 thread (who lifted it from kotaku, who apparently lifted it from the steam forums):
    The server binary contains a new function:
    ShouldPlaySpecialAudio(CTFPlayer *)

    The contents of this function seems to be:
    bool ShouldPlaySpecialAudio(CTFPlayer *pPlayer){ bool result; if ( pPlayer && (CTFPlayer::IsPlayerClass(pPlayer, 3) || CTFPlayer::IsPlayerClass(pPlayer, 4)) ) result = engrandom->GetRandomInt(1, 100) <= 10; else result = 0; return result;}

    For those that can't read C: If you're a soldier or demoman, you have a random 10% chance to hear the special sounds.

    So it must be a Solder and Demoman update!
    After extensive testing, I have concluded the following:

    * The alt sounds can only be heard by soldier or demoman
    * The mission begins alt sounds only happen when there are both a soldier and demoman on the same team
    * The success alt sounds only happen if both a soldier and demoman are capturing a point together.

    Speculate away!

    They are both maggot classes so I guess it is a natural friendship.

    Two classes that haven't had an update yet and custom orders placed at Mann Co? Sounds like it's time for WANTON SPECULATION

    Also the soldier and demoman BFF pictures are the best part of that comic. GRAVEL!

    It could always be a three class pack. Sniper vs. Spy started off as one class.

    The tone of the comic suggests to me they're going to give each class hard counters for the other class. That's a great way to piss off friends.

    oh my god

    I thought that there would be unlocks for both, and then there would be some kind of meta-competition. Like whatever class gets the most kills in the first month gets something like the medal or something
