Game Update for January 27th, 2010

by ZombieSkittles on January 28, 2010

A new update for the game came out today, and has some fixes to some funny bugs. The best of which, is the bug that allowed snipers to shoot through the gates at the start of maps, as you can see below.

The bug resulted from another fix allowing snipers to shoot through teammates, because it was often annoying when a teammate runs in front and ruins a shot. I never got to do this, but I wish I had. Also in the update:

  • The Main Menu, which has displayed the Soldier/Demo picture since the update, now cycles between different themes.
  • Some new class-universal hats have been added. With names like “Noble Amassment of Hats”, they’re bound to be worth at least a chuckle.
  • Stickybombs can’t be destroyed until they’ve stuck to something.

It’s a decent sized update, and you can view the rest of the fixes and additions here.

Edit: There has been a follow up update attached to this, in which a crash is fixed, and the new hats are changed so when crafting a class-specific hat, they don’t have a chance of coming up. This is due to the usual complaining on the Steam Forums, however it seems everyone finds something to whine about. You can view the addition changes here.

I’m not one to comment on it (I haven’t played it back in the day so I wouldn’t know much about it) but there will probably be a few decent remakes if people were more open minded about the idea.
