Re: Team Fortress 2 Update Released

I'm surprised they haven't nerfed any of the new unlocks yet. Direct Hit is a bit overpowered against sentries and the Equalizer is just insane in the right hands.

Re: Team Fortress 2 Update Released

Still the equalizer is not that hard because the soldier with it can't be healed. Demoman with shield and swords seems to be way more overpowered.

Re: Team Fortress 2 Update Released

I didn't mind going from the original concept of TF2 to what it is now.The beta was fine.

But unbalancing the game right after release and then constantly adding stuff to please the people who were pissed off with the changes and by that pissing of the disadvantaged just to please them afterwards and so on...

...really a chame where Valve went with that.

Will there ever be a final TF2 from what I can decide if I like the game and want to play it or not ?

And where the hell is Episode 3 ?
