Other Games TF2 Update, Rest in peices many great loadouts ;(

So, a new TF2 update was out, and it came in with new skins, new contracts, and new maps. All which are great and whatnot, but I want to stress a bit more on what really counts - Buffs & Debuffs.

My opinion on the update:

I personally love and hate this update. I hate it because it ruined 3 of the community's favorite playstyles. But, I love it because those playstyles were overpowered and most people had trouble dealing with a decent demoknight or just a cancer-causing aircritting pyro. One thing I really do hope though is that the .5 second delay on a sentry after sapping won't discourage players to play engie, or to encourage them to use the gunslinger, the cancer currently killing hardcore engineering.

So, what are your opinions on the update? Reply down below :)

Phlog buff? I think Gaben smoked too much money when he released the update
also, wtf is holster time

 

I think when you sheathe it

 

They buffed the Phlogistinator.

 

That's drawup time. Holster time is switching from one weapon to another.
Say I switched from the Claidmeah Mor to the Loose Cannon. The Loose Cannon would take a longer time to deploy because of the Claidmeah Mor's now increased holster time.

The worst part is, I think I unboxed a strange Ullapool Caber at the wrong time ;-;
But, it's still a good update.

 

who plays tf2 plz

 

More people than who play KitPvp lol

 

I do (did)

 

well obviously kitpvp is a small server and tf2 is quiet well known in the steam gaming department

 

Hmm, this update seems interesting :o I want to see what it's like now :)
When I try it out, I'll edit this post and say my opinion on it.
