Still haven't got around to trying the beta, might be about late doors tonight; doublemix?

We've been trying to get a double mix going but none of us have managed to get hold of somebody with access to a private beta server.

[Hzza]

We have a dedi, could we not get one up on that?

Saaaaaaaaaaam... <3 XOXOXOX

An Important Note:

With this update we'll be trying our first big gameplay experiment.

As we mentioned at the beta’s launch, one of our goals for it is to try some gameplay experiments, and gather real-world data. We’d like to do this because we want learn more about our current design, and challenge some of the assumptions we’ve made over the years about what makes combat in TF2 fun. In this update we’re going to double player health. In particular, we hope this will teach us a bit about our weapon balancing, and the way it changes as combat takes longer to resolve.

It's important to stress that this is an experiment, and as such, there's a good chance that these changes may not make it to live.


Gameplay:

    * Player health increased 100%
    * Damage against buildings (sentries, etc) reduced 50%


General:

    * Synced with changes from the official releases

OH SHI---! :O

Btw, Scouts a much more forgiving class than it used to be. And don't expect to play Pyro as they munch through half their ammo to kill Scouts now.

[Chaos]

There should be some sort of ammo compensation to match the health increase.. In our 6v6 matches I usually run out of ammo just after a good mid fight. Don't wanna run out half way through.. if we do, we run for ammo, while we're at it, we get health and the whole thing starts again!

[CruelCow]

So it takes 6 stickies to kill a sentry now? D:

[Officer Dibble]

14 if it's being wrangled and not being repaired.

[Chaos]

do medics heal twices as fast too?

[CruelCow]

Nope, takes forever to heal people now

Also, overheal is only 25% now.

And the best part about sentries? Since they take half damage instead of having double health, effectively engi repairs with double speed D:

[Hzza]

Do not want.

[Chaos]

I'd consider that the worst thing about sentries...

[Brahms]

Don't know why people play the beta. Do you get a hat?

[CruelCow]

To see the future of TF2!

[Leftism]

Cus being Scout with double health is amazingly fun.

To see the future of TF2!

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever.
