119th Update for Team Fortress 2

[Shawn Zipay]

Valve has just released their 119th update for Team Fortress 2. Why is this number so special? I've no idea, but it's generated a bit of fanfare on the TF2 Blog.

- Added new items to commemorate our 119th (or so) update.
- Fixed several issues with the Source SDK
- Scout's "Retire the Runner" achievement updated to be
-- "Kill a Scout while they are under the effect of Crit-a-Cola."
- Added a 20% damage bonus to The Backburner
- Fixed the Flare Gun's afterburn duration being lowered by the Flamethrower's duration reduction
- Fixed the teleporter exit using the wrong particle effect
- Fixed HUD damage indicators not appearing
- Fixed Teleporters not reverting to level 1 when their other side is destroyed
- Fixed receiving damage not causing view-kicks on players
- Fixed Engineers & Spies being able to circumvent build restrictions
- Fixed Server Browser not saving filter settings properly
- Fixed a client crash in the targetID on clients running custom HUDs

Valve is also proud to announce that limited edition statues of the player classes will be made available soon.

To coincide with today's update, we are pleased to announce that our friends at The IP Factory will be releasing a limited edition collector's statue of the Heavy, which is the first in their 12 inch Team Fortress 2 line of collectible statues. The Heavy will come in both BLU and RED team versions and numbers are strictly limited.

The IP Factory will begin accepting Heavy statue pre-orders on Monday 3rd May 9.00am.

To grab a sneak peak of the Heavy statue in all of his glory visit their website at www.gamingheads.com.

Also of note is the fact that Valve is giving away medals to veterans of TF2, which can be seen above.

Been playing since beta but got the Weekend Warrior medal which is awarded for people who've started playing a year after the game's release. It seems there's a ton of people getting the wrong medals.

Great, Team Fortress gets 119 updates while Counter-Strike has had all of 1 in the past few months. Am I one of the view people that doesn't play TF2 or LFD2 and therefore doesn't have the most favorable view of Valve right now because they haven't touched anything Half-Life or Counter-Strike in over two years?

I think it's nice that Valve actually has its users' interests as its first priority. But it just seems like nothing ever seems to work right with it. Lolz.
This update already has nerds exploiting the new engie bug. And the "badges", well they don't actually exist yet.
