Plas is going to kill us all. I wonder if the shotgun unlock works with the mini-sentries...

Also, a total of three new maps.

The Gunslinger is going to make for an awesome MeleeMania. It's one thing to have random crits. It's another to have none at all. It's a whole different ballgame when you know one is coming. :twisted:

If I had to guess, I'd say this is Valve Time in action :P Nevermind, there it goes


Also, three Payload-related maps in one update? There's going to be a lot of stuff blowing up

Well, I can't connect to the Steam servers to launch the game, and I have 35 more achievements in my list, so I'd say it just dropped and the download servers are being hammered.

So this may already have been addressed, but if you wrangle a sentry....does it still have a maximum firing distance or is it like sasha/natasha and is just nearly useless at long ranges?

Thanks for posting that Steveio. Good to see they also made the Shiv a little more powerful.

EDIT- Sorry guys, misread the bullet about the Shiv.

"Added The Southern Hospitality"

I guess that's the mysterious community made, spiky looking wrench we still know nothing about!
