Looks like the update has just started.

[Charmander]

Yup.

Looks like they're tonin' back the Sandman, too. Only stuns on a max-range ball. Otherwise you just run like a girly, it seems.

ALSO CAMERABEARD AND HAT AT THE SAME TIME

BEST UPDATE EVER

Okay, had a quick look at the crafting:

You're gonna need lots of duplicates.

Like, three to make scrap metal, three of those to make refined metal, and three of THOSE to make a nonspecific hat.

[Mr.Person]

So 27 items to make a hat? That sounds about right.

[Metalax]

Yep. The new maps look interesting as well as the new bots. The nerf to the sandman is disappointing making it practically useless. The spy getting the hat/wearables of his disguise should help out now against those who paid more attention. The medic targeting improvements should hopefully help out in a close group.

[Gaulgath]

Very interesting stuff here. Crafting was... unexpected. But appreciated, since I still have not gotten a single hat (other than halo).

[Tradanbattlan]

GWAAAAAAAAH
SOLDIER WON
I- I... I don't know what to say.
Well, besides...

WHAT KIND OF LASSIES DECIDED TO BACK THAT YANK IN THE FIRST PLACE?

[ToonyMan]

Hahaha.

This wasn't even a contest.

Gun boots for the win.  So sweet.

What's the difference between class headgear and headgear?

[Xotes]

Creating a class headgear allows you to create a hat for the class YOU want.

Creating regular headgear just gives you a random hat.

[Luke_Prowler]

Wait wait, the soldier gets a bosspole now? awesome.

[KaelGotDwarves]

Figures... i got rid of all my 4th weapon copies -.-

And now there's two pages for items instead of one.

Thanks valve!

[PTTG??]

Anyone else have some fail when trying to start after the update?

[Zai]

So what do the Gunboats replace? Secondary I assume? Regardless, I'm rather disappointed at first sight to be honest. Makes me wonder what the Demo's 4th would have been. I would have preferred Another major gameplay change like the Eyelander and Chargin Targe to an enhancement for something already in the game. The pole was a nice addition though. Great for a team charge.

Did the Razorback at least get a boost to make it half as useful as the Targe?

[Tradanbattlan]

Soldier is now a Dwarf.
He gets angrier when he gets hurt, has a pickaxe he uses to mine enemies and blows himself up as a taunt.
