    I think I'll actually farm the heavy achievements because I think farming them is going to be hilariously fun times, especially while spamming voice commands. I am looking forward to 6+ heavies on a team.

    Sniping isn't that bad while lagged, since it doesn't affect your hit detection that much. The only real drawback is that you'll lose a lot of sniper duels.

    Server's are not updated yet, that's why

    Glad they put back in the falloff damage. I should die less now to pyros five meters away

    I feel dirty for playing pyro and ruining every ones game :| Also the fall of dmg wasnt put back to its origional status meaning pyros don't need to be in your face to hurt anymore. Which is totaly fare in my opinion as before it was a little shity. I didn't notice much difrence last night though the only time I found the no fall of usefull was chasing medics around but now I guess its back to shot guning them.

    Also on the backstab not registering I'm quite sure the backburner has a similar problem with not geting your crits despite being behind your target. I dont know if theres been a reason given for it yet but it might be like the rogue vanish bug in WoW for those who played in that theres a bit of lag between you and the host and one machine says one thing and the other something else so sometimes you'r over ruled (I dont know about computers so excuse me if thats a load of boloks.)

    Also has any one noticed when playing pyro theres something wrong with the hit box and the flame thrower. I've had it happen quite a few times. I know im aiming directly at X person but nothing happens. Sometimes its due to me being right in their face and my guns in them and others its well....I dont know it looks fine but their taking no damage.

    Yeah I can't wait for this updated.

    On one side, I love playing heavy.

    On the other, I love playing sniper.

    I'll go sniper for a week straight, then heavy when it all dies down.

    I'm kind of surprised they're doing heavy next. It's a fairly popular class, and it seems that some of the other classes could use a bit more help/tweaking. Maybe I'm just not good with those other classes.

    Sniper was my first choice of class and I put twelve or so straight hours into it before realising this little tidbit.

    So I started playing medic because that's all I thought my ping could do and just got used to it.

    Engy also works well in high-ping situations because sentries run from the server.

    if you dick around in the spawn it makes the heavy stand up straight with his arms at his sides and float around slowly. if you punch the arms just fly up straight and back down. it really has to be experienced to enjoy properly.

    i thought it was funny as hell. especially when you punch pyros to death on dustbowl.

    it gives you no benefits, it makes you way slower, crouching you don't even move......it is actually really horrible besides it being hilarious to see....and as a heavy yourself you don't actually see anything different except you're moving at a snail's pace

    As you can see, the heavy really isn't all that popular. The people that do play heavy, however, are really good at it apparently. Based on a combination of those stats, you would expect spy or scout to get an update before the heavy, but I guess not.

    Or maybe a sentry or dispenser. The dispenser would be perfect for backstabbing people.

    Inanimate objects would be rather comical. Feign Death would be pretty enjoyable again.

    However, I think we'll see Engineer and Spy coming around last for updates, due to having more than 3 weapons/utilities.

    Also, I was here. Again.

    Ever since the pyro glut, I've been trying to find a new main. I'm kinda okay with the demo and the scout (trying out heavy, but with the new update, may have to switch again) but I really wish there was a better medium range gun out there as a main weapon.

    And the downside would be the spy actually losing ammo/health.

    You don't boast on the forums about killing Flippy. That's inelegant.

    Instead you bat him to death and then type HI FLIPPY! in the chat. That's how these things work.

    I'm surprised it's that low. Although those stats are only for the last week. I wonder how it is if you count the whole month, 3 months, 1 year, etc. I didn't even know about that stat page though, and it's really cool.
