Team Fortress 2 PC Update Fixes Bugs

While the wait for class-specific achievements, unlockable weapons and the new Goldrush map continues, developer Valve has released an update for the PC version of Team Fortress 2 that resolves a number of glitches.

Changes to the colorful class-based multiplayer shooter include a tweak to the critical modifier for explosive weapons, which had caused the chances of a critical hit to be higher than intended, and the resolution of a bug that allowed Demomen to shoot grenades at point-blank range without taking damage. For the full details, scope out the patch notes.

As with all other titles distributed via Valve's Steam platform, the patch will be automatically downloaded and applied after users restart Steam.

I still love me some Team Fortress 2. My friends and I play anywhere from 2 to 6 (on weekends) hours a day.

TF2 is plummeting in players. This game is in a HUGE freefall.

http://www.onlinegamingzeitgeist.com/graphs/games_10_players.png

Over the last seven days, it is now less popular than the original Call of Duty, DOD:S and Quake 3 Arena.

Valve really dropped the ball on the map texture variety, depth, and lackof gameplay modes in maps. People just got sick of the game.

I know it didn't really affect much realistically but I almost find it humorous that one of the few changes in this patch happens to nerf the demoman.

We'll be doing some work to educate players on the new Custom servers tab, using both PR and user interface changes. Now that the Internet/Custom servers system is in place, we'd like server admin to work within it. We'll be delisting servers with custom rule sets that deliberately work around the system.

Great, valve are like Apple now.

Just stick everything on one tab and add the tag filtering to that. Servers that get dumped onto the custom tab are never full, and no amount of 'education' will fix that.

It's sort of crazy to hear people talking about nerfing classes as if this were WOW.

No more demoman point blank anymore? Oh well...never really did that anyways because I didn't know I wouldn't take damage. One thing I'm glad about though is that they can't nerf my favorite class, the pyro, since he sucks at pretty much anything but point blank, and even then can get torn down without much problem. Hands down the weakest class already with its 3 foot range with the flamethrower.

However, if you can play that class well(like myself), you'll start to hear people bitching about how the pyro needs to be nerfed, when really they just need to learn how to play their classes better and learn how to utilize class-dependant tactics, as well as developing a trigger happy finger.

That grenade damage thing relates to the primary launcher I think, you wouldn't take any damage at all if you shot a grenade at someone at point blank range. So no "penalty", they just fixed a bug.
