can't believe they made the dead ringer de-cloak QUIETER! wtf. the damn thing was already OP in the right hands, now even poopy players can use it because it will be harder to hear the them de-cloak....

deff turning on "hear a sound whenever you hit an enemy"...useful!

[stewlounse]

put on the headphones and turn up the volume! best way to hear anything and everything and in what location.

I am thinking that fixed shotgun spread will be nice.. If I am reading that right.

[Homfry]

can't believe they haven't fixed the SR yet. I want to give it an honest shot soo bad, but I can't with that instant explosion problem

if (SR == "sniper rifle"){
System.out.println("what instant explosion?? lol");
}
else{
System.out.println("wtf is SR?? lol");
}


***i've been looking at code all week, my head is all screwy and it's hard to think in normal sentences right now :(

There was a post on the forums about it where he tested it with the scout's scatter gun. Ends up not doing much what-so-ever, with a few tests ending up the exact same, and one instance where the average was lower than with spread.

As for the dead ringer change?

I like it.

SR= Scottish Resistance

[Homfry]

if (USER.classification == "nub"){
System.out.println("SR, Scottish Resistance :)");
}
else{
System.out.println("SR");
}
this.isgay = true;

[Brains]

if (USER.classification == "nub"){
System.out.println("SR, Scottish Resistance :)");
}
else{
System.out.println("SR");
}
this.isgay = true;

USER Brains = new USER();
Brains.setClassification("nub");
boolean isgay = getDef("SR",Brains);

System.out.println(isgay);

---> console <----
SR, Scottish Resistance :)
true

FAIL!

here's info on that gun spread cvar

and here is a vid showcasing valve's AWESOME "play a noise when you hit someone"...
I thought it would be a good thing to hear it....but dAMMMm valve wtf

EDIT: sorry forgot to include the video

Thanks Brains.. That sucks there isn't that any difference really but I probably will use it since I hate randomness in any game I play.

Yea I was hoping it would be a lot more like Quake 3... oh well

You cannot stop the dead ringer spys! I disguised as a Valve employee and put that change into the notes and then I got caught by one of their developers and he shot at me, but I used my new dead ringer. I decloaked, but since I sneaked in those changes, he couldn't hear me and I back stabbed him. It was a good day. :)

[Devant]

i've noticed an influx in DR spys. I've actually gone pyro a few times i've been so annoyed....and then I got backstabbed again

[Ramanag]

Psht, let's hear it for the revolver totin, DR using spies who did that shit back BEFORE it was cool. (I know cookies does it too, and I think infiniti does. Not sure who else.) In Da HOUSE! Also, I imagine I'm in the minority here, but playing pyro/heavy and just listening to the din of carnival dings brings me such utter chlidlike euphoria that I often giggle excessively when playing heavy (though I was already pretty close to doing that. He has the best lines.) also, it's a very helpful auditory cue that your sentry is in combat, if you're an engy, and its not getting shot and you're not near it. Granted, not a common situation, but not entirely unheard of.

[Bonemasher]

Im used to the DR update now, its really not a huge nerf, it just stops you from surviving failstabs, because if your successful usually you get the ringer charged agian.

[Ramanag]

I think the only thing it really prevents is the asshattery that I know I pulled off on the first goldrush. You can run around that map infinitely just picking up the three 200 metal boxes in the first half of the map. Fallen weapons before only restored about half of the ringer before, and now they're down to 40%, if I recall correctly. Honestly, I think the quieter thing more than makes up for it.

[Infiniti]

I went 44 kills in KotH Viaduct without a single death before i left the server as a DR spy.


I recorded it though, yay! Unfortunately fraps = "LOL I C U HAV 7 GIGS OF HD SPACE LET ME USE THAT FOR 2 MIN VID LOLOLOL"

[Brains]

here's a nice video from tf2tactics showing the DR before and after the update.

[Ramanag]

You don't need attic support on 2fort. Also, it's a good day to spy. And much thanks to Brains for finding these videos.

[Infiniti]

*pokes his signature*

Recorded it too, just to lazy to mess with making it shorter in time.

[Philosoraptor]

Give me that, i want to watch.

[Jasin]

I agree, dead ringer changes didn't do much once I got the hang of it.

you were playing against djinn. your kill count is no longer valid. obviously djinn kept just running backwards into you all match long. thus also being the sole reason why djinn's team lost

[sgt_deacon]

I'm pretty sure I hated you through that entire map.

[Jasin]

I wasn't after you, you just happened to be at the place I always ran to under fire :)
