here is the new "Meet the" video, lol

I've heard some mixed reviews for this update. I appreciate the bug fixes+kritz rate, but overall the Heavy Update really blows.
I still haven't done any farming, but medic has been an absolute blast with 75% heavies around. I kritz at least 3 times per life, although I really find it annoying kritzing something as stupid as the Natasha gun. The sandwich also seems really stupid in place of the shotgun. KGB is neat, though.

Steel is ace, Backwater basin blows, and arena mode is Counter-strike.

I like the update.

Kirz, who uses that anyway ?

Backwater basin is great, very demanding for the blue team.
I haven't played steel yet

Arena mode , meh... played a few times, its like sudden death with smaller maps

With all these heavy whores, it's a great time to be a spy on Goldrush. All the heavies tend to cluster around the cart like a herd of buffalo begging to be slaughtered.

I got 6 backstabs in 5 seconds today...lovely.

Maybe i just dont understand the achievements.....

The sandvich is diff. from previous achievements as at is not a weapon. It is the first unlockable for the heavy, and basically you scroll to it and use it like anything else. Instead of firing anything, the heavy will sit vulnerable for four seconds and eat the aforementioned sandvich, restoring 120 health.

It's cool cause if your playing defensive, and you have no medic, you don't need to leave your post to go find health. But your vulnerable for four seconds, and he's pretty loud when he's eating it so enemies will try to kill you.

That was an actual gameplay feature
