big tf2 update

[l3eeron]

I love the new medic hat/helmet. The crossbow is interesting too. I'm not sure I can live without my ubersaw much longer though. The extra +1 regen is nice, but not a big improvement over standard syringe gun (my default). I likely get more ubers from the saw than most medics so the experiment will likely soon end. I definitely think the new medic helmet looks best with the procedure mask than without it.

I went back to the ubersaw. Nothing beats the ubersaw. Period. The benefits if the +1 regen are negligible.

The crossbow is kinda useless.... needs mini crits on headshot.

The new Medic helmet is awesome.

Wait, I could have sworn it said it didn't crit on headshots.

it doesn't. I was just remarking on the satisfaction of shooting an enemy sniper in the head (the random crits were just icing on top of the cake)

The 75hp/sec over 3 secs (~200) heal for the saw taunt is impressive... but... so many downsides:
1. doesn't heal the medic
2. free backstab/headshot
3. free attacks from any other class
4. doesn't charge your uber

you do get assist on anyone in the aura though =)

Yeah, I crit-killed a sniper with mine earlier today, very cathartic. Finally starting to get the hang of aiming it.
Also nice for healing allies at distance IF you can hit them (I've managed a few times only).

The one thing I miss is the blutsager's ability to spray at people who are closing on you, but then I just play aggressive medic alot.

Current verdict: situational, but nice on occasion. Really wish it had more damage, a faster reload, or some other method for closing the dmg gap with the syringe gun/blutsager. Also: I want a taunt.

I recently got this new Engineer Wrench via the Xmas Box. The JAG. 30% Build speed, -25% damage. I'd say it was worth th $2.49 spent to open it. =P

I don't know for sure, but I think the Ulapool Caber might have something to do with this award I got yesterday


Then again, maybe i'm just nuts, since i've massed almost 200 kills with the grenade-on-a-stick in just two days.

Actualy no. I have to agree with zork that the Ulapool Caber is a great way to clear a point.

This medic crossbow...might actually get me to play medic.

[TheCarpe]

Yeah, I'm quite interested to try out the Crossbow. If it handles like the Huntsman, it'll probably become my new main.

They seem to handle in a similar fashion, but then I'm only starting to get the hang of the crossbow and I've yet to hit someone in the head with huntsman.

I seem to get more kills with the medic crossbow than I do with needles (not that I use those much anyway, definitely prefer the saw for killing). The long range healing is nice too.

I think you would. For the purposes of simply getting a kill, the crossbow is probably better. On the other hand, for saving your life when you get ambushed by a pyro, the needlegun (or better yet, blutsauger) would probably serve you better.
