ארכיון הקטגוריה TF2

הפתעה צפויה בעדכון קרוב

קבצי סאונד שצורפו לעדכון של הלילה מדברים על "חברויות" והAnnouncer מספרת על אכזבתה מבגידה זו.

את הקבצים ניתן לשמוע ביוטיוב:

ניתן לפרש את זה במספר דרכים, יש שחושבים שמדובר במצב משחק חדש, לאחרים זה נשמע כמו דרך טיפול במצב המוכר של שני שחקנים שעושים גריפינג לכולם בשרת ארנה על ידי כך שהם לא הורגים זה את זה (מספר שחקנים כבר קיבלו באן לתמיד ממוסד עקב פעולה זו בדיוק).

אני מאוד אשמח אם האפשרות השנייה היא הנכונה, ושVALVe ימנעו את המצב הזה מלכתחילה.

[עדכון: yellowblood מדווח בפורום ששמע את אחד הסאונדים הנ"ל בdustbowl]

Final new TF2 medic weapons information from VALVe

VALVe had a party, and we were not invited. Luckily, shacknews bring the news:

The Blutsaugher
For players that earn one third of the 36 new medic achievements, they will be given a new syringe gun. Called "The Blutsaugher," this new weapon no longer has the ability to score critical hits against an opponent. Instead it will draw health from enemies each time a syringe hits. Especially useful as a weapon to retreat away from the fight while staying alive.

The Critzcrieg
Once a medic has earned two thirds of the achievements, they will be granted "The Critzcrieg." This new medigun uses its ubercharge not for invulnerability, but to give its recipient 100% chance to fire critical ordinance. Medics and the player they are charging need to be careful though, because as much fun as it is to fire critical rockets as fast as you can, the other team will see what you're up to and try to put a quick stop to your plan.

The Ubersaw
For the determined medic that has earned all 36 of the new achievements, they will find themselves the proud owner of "The Ubersaw," which will take damage done in melee attacks and convert it directly to ubercharge. Four hits with this new weapon will fully charge whatever medigun the medic has equpped.

Another new TF2 interview

This one, that came today, is more recent than the one I posted this morning, and more updated.

Most interesting:

  • Goldrush will use a "cinematic physics" system
  • The current version of the unlockable medi-gun gives you 100% uber instead of invulnerability
  • The goldrush cart will also act as a dispenser to help the attackers
