    More payload maps is win.

    Love that mode. It's TFC VIP except the VIP is smarter than the average tfc player.

    That cart elevator looks like an absolute blast.

    Damn, four new maps.
    The Sandvich now uses a cooldown timer, instead of the health pack recharge mechanic.
    o The Gunboats now reduce self-damage by 60% (was 75%)
    o The Tribalman's Shiv bleed duration reduced to 6 second (was 8), and its damage penalty increased to 50% (was 35%).

    So, like I said, the Shiv got super-nerfed; the Gunboats got a small nerf.. and the sadvich got nerfed too I guess.

    EDIT: I meant sandvich, but considering what happened, I think sadvich is fitting.

    Sandvich got nerfed? My understanding of the patch notes was that since they mentioned the "health pack recharge mechanic" you can throw them on a timer like Jarate (being unable to consume one in the meantime) and get them back without a) being at max health and b) going over a medkit.

    1 rocket to jump, 2 rockets to fire down at the enemy, equaliser, smack smack, rocket jump away.

    Buff banner and shotty are probably much better but I like playing this way just fine.
