Team Fortress 2 Updated

[Sniper1432]

Another huge TF2 update has been released today. This update has its usual bug fixes and tweaks, but also drastically changes the loadouts of some classes, adds the ability to filter servers by meta tags, and added tournament mode. Check it out:

Added "Custom" tab to the server browser
# Servers can now specify metatags describing the custom rules they've adopted
# Players can use tag filtering to find servers running the custom rules they want to play
# Added options for servers who want to become custom games: Disable critical hits (tf_weapon_criticals), eliminate respawn times (mp_disable_respawn_times), and raise maxplayers above 24

Initial release of Tournament mode (mp_tournament)
# UI for handling team naming, ready mode, and win results
# Disables team player limits, autobalancing, and intermission

Class balancing
# Reduced Soldier's maximum rocket reserve ammo from 36 to 16
# Reduced Demoman's maximum sticky bomb reserve ammo from 30 to 16
# Reduced Demoman's maximum grenade launcher reserve ammo from 40 to 24

So true. Soldiers already have weapons with really high damage, they don't need that much ammo nor getting crits the whole f'in time.

in a way it fixes the pyro situation as well, the Pyro should beat teh soldier in most close quarters fighting but the soldier can just fire at his feet and receive minimal damage while killing the pyro

now it sort of fits in more with the pyro ethic of ambushing cos the soldiers limited ammo can make him really vulnerable
