This may have been asked already elsewhere but as long as we are talking about sabotaged SGs I have another question. Can the engineer destroy the sentry (detonate) while it is hostile?

The mapdesign, classes, weapons all look brilliant. The feeling i got however from watching the video was that it is probably a bit too fast paced, which make it seem more like unreal tournament/quake3 than tfc.
Great work though, cant wait for the release. Oh and also; cant there be some english accents added? Especially for the spy or something. |

Regarding the snipers, I think they should not be able to tag other snipers. This would really hurt sniper vs. sniper battles. Plus, there's going to be whores who will camp out all day watching guys pop up behind walls and trying to pop them in the face as soon as they move into sight. They'll never be caught off guard by other snipers if they see them coming from behind a wall.
In the current state of the game, do snipers have the ability to tag every class? |

Yes, though we will be giving mappers the ability to disable them for map types that won't suit tracers (Sniper vs Sniper, etc)
Tracers expire, they're removed when the tracered player dies, and they're not visible outside a certain distance, so we haven't seen any significant balance issues (so far) during playtesting. |

Fantastic update guys, I really enjoyed it.
I'd like to comment on everything really but i'd rather not get tldr... So here are the things I particularly wanted to highlight: FF_dm looks sweet, I love the makeover mulch_dm has gotten. It's a simple map but many players spend countless hours on it, either dming or practicing different skills. I hope it retains a spectator area. The spy effects have been done really well. The cloak is implemented intelligently, the gas and traq visual effects also look satisfyingly disorienting. Voice acting is solid and the infection calls are funny as hell. The scout calling for help then sliding lifeless across the ground was hilarious. I didn't like the call for armor but that's nitpicking. The autocannon sound isn't quite right, I think it's too slow and lacking a bit of oomph. I'm not really sure tbh, lacks a bit of ferocity that you associate with the ac. (I know it's being changed) The HW model needs to be a little larger I feel. Not bigger really but a little fatter perhaps. Not to the extent of the TF2 caricature but the lovable fatty he is in tfc (old models). I realize the hw is one of the last models to be done so hopefully some changes can be implemented if not by release then in a later update. Oh a final observation - the headshot and ensuing gibs looked f*cking awesome. |

So if everyone sees the tagged person, might be better to reduce (a lot) the ammount of time it appears. Because from what the video showed, the sniper dies and the guy is still tagged (the HW, on that case).
Or reduce the time only for the other people, while to the sniper it remains a more. Like 5s to others, just to show for a moment where the guy is, and 20s to the sniper? Will be MUCH easier to defend if you know where your enemy is all the time (even if the sniper who tagged them dies), until they die. Well, we'll see about that when the game gets released, but right now I think that it's overpowered. Bhop cap on TFC = 170% |

rofl, watch how the engie dongslaps his sg, BAHAHAH PRICE-TAGLESS!!!!!!!
but yeah, amazing...i love the demo's pipe arch and the increased movement skills...greatly fantastical job. oh and the map/timeleft in the top right corner (which i think is supposed to be in that trapezoid in the middle cause it blocks kill info) is really useful as well . gg devs |

WHAT I LIKED:
- You guys used my idea to have the Spy drop a fake corpse and cloak! - Double-jumping. - Faster napalm rockets. - Tranq effect. - Gas effect. - Calls. WHAT I DID NOT LIKE: - Jumping animation on the HWGuy. - How the HWGuy holds the AC... he's lifting it and has it tucked under his arm, by the looks of it, but with its size that just seems ridiculous. It seems like it should be at his hip or lower. - AC sounds. - The gibs. Is there a gibcount variable? More blood? Seeing a couple random gibs spawn reminds me of Turok: Rage Wars, where everyone just popped into four blood-colored chunks. - This is more a problem I've had with HL2 and every game in it, but the weapons feel like they're way the fuck too close to the view. FOV? - The player models don't look right against the maps... the maps are all highly detailed, but the player skins seem bright and stick out really badly. Is something waiting on the skins, or is this just how it is and I'll have to spend five minutes getting over it?

sweeet i'm excited!!
theres tons of good stuff to say so i'm gonna throw out my only complaint: not too fond of the HW guy. Looks like Gunjack from Tekken or something. I think his outfit should have more separate-looking pieces if you know what i mean? a little more contrast or something? also i dont get the whole sniper wallhack thing... but i'll figure that out |

Read the FAQ for an explanation of the Sniper Tracer (wall hack).
The answer is on the last post I made. |
