And that's why the devs are bumping the cap up from 108%?

No, that's not why.

Anyway the point is Merv's statement is totally BS and tu needs to learn how to read (i.e. 108% feels way faster than 62% less than TFC)

okay so maybe the bhop has slowed down, but base speeds are still waaay faster. i dont know the exact figures for the base speeds offhand so i can't back that up.

The Xbox 360 version's network code is apparently so far along that PC and Xbox 360s were actually playing together online during a LAN session. Whether or not this function will be supported when the Orange and Black Boxes release around September remains to be seen, but Valve is ready either way.

The PS3 version is being done by EA over in the UK. Chances are the PS3 version will only play other PS3s. There's zero chance of them talking to 360s.

What are the player server limits?

Robin Walker: For PC we're still thinking about 24, but we're still messing with it. The Xbox is definitely going to be 16

Heh.

The class move speeds are currently slightly over the TFC values. It isn't major.

Right but there are huge differences in gameplay if you increase the base speed vs increasing the bhop cap...

I understand that with skimming and heightened base speeds FF may seem as fast etc. but seriously 108% bhop cap makes me cry.

The 108% cap was one of the values being tested. It is still under constant review during the beta testing and being modified and tested on a semi-regular basis until the "sweet spot" is reached. Ultimately, it will end up to be on release a value that meets the concensus of the dev team as to what they feel is the optimum balance for gameplay.

Hell, the value gets changed every week or two, 108 was certainly not set in stone

It's 115% right now, but something you need to consider is that's not THE cap. You can exceed it, and it'll bring you back down when you do, nice and steady. 115 feels pretty fast, just short of TFC I'd say.

Im okay at all classes but i think im above average with solly and im TRYING to be a better scout but i cant bhop =(.
Concing is good except when im not in the mood i miss em all.
Like Pyro D on dustbowl running into the attackers area and flaming everything ahahaha.
Medic D! =P whats better than a dude with decent speed and a super shotty plus 4 nades?
Spy is fun to pwn that sniper that u really hate.
Scout crowbar kills are awesome.

I think all classes are fun to play in their own way.
