Team Fortress 2 Update (Ambassador Improvement)

[Hectic Glenn]

The second major update to the recent class pack additional content has been released. Some interesting changes in this one...

• The Ambassador now does full critical hits on headshots, instead of mini crits
• The Dead Ringer now fully drains the cloak meter, even if the Spy leaves cloak early
• Fixed Spy disguise menu not being visible in HUD minimal mode
• Server log improvements: Added "player_extinguish" event for servers to log when a Pyro extinguishes flame with the airburst
• Fixed kill descriptions for Force-A-Nature & Sandman, so server logs can distinguish them
• Identified feign deaths in the events sent to server logs
• Fixed server crash related to the Jarate

The update should be applied automatically. Let us know, is the ambassador a better alternative now?

[Diesel_Power]

You mane an equal alternative?

Unlocks aren't suppose to be better!

Hence why no one uses the bonesaw or original syringe gun anymore.

That's a drag about the Dead Ringer - I'll still use it, but it's definitely not as useful. I guess that's a fair trade, since it otherwise equals an 'extra life'. Also, I didn't know the airburst from the Pyro's compression blast would put flames out? Does that work on all players, or just team mates? For example, if you set someone on fire and go to blast them off a ledge, will it extinguish them too? I just got the Ambassador a couple of days ago - I'll try it tonight.

Can I have one? I'll give you my Bonk energy drink that I just got today.

[Jintor]

Well, this certainly spells good news for the Ambassador.

[lefty]

There's already people on the steam forums complaining the ambassador is overpowered again.

[Plissken]

Expect to see a lot of Dead Ringer/Ambassador Spies. Seems the two go together well to create a Deathmatch-focused Spy. Tried it on an arena map and it worked. I don't think its overpowered, but I did aggravate some snipers with a couple of lucky head shots. Seeing as it was one shot out of seven, I don't think its enough to make an unskilled played dominate or a veteran player unstoppable.

They didn't implement the damn trading system yet? Seriously?

[Wanted Bob]

Yeah, I'm really holding out till the trading system is out, so I can trade the stuff i dont need for new unlocks.

[Qonfused]

Or, you know, we can scrap this stupid system already.

[Polaris]

Nice, but I would like to exchange my bloody nazi medic übersaws for that dundee hat.

[MultiVaC]

I really can't wait for the trading system. I already know somebody who will trade me a Cloak and Dagger for one of my Blutsaugers. I have way too many worthless things.

[kazsymonds]

Meh, **** team fortress, i'll play l4d till they fix this.
