conductorI wonder if the enemy med drops if you can pick up their medigun that has uber on it

i'd assume it only swaps out that loadout slot on the player, not a 1:1 swap of everything. will be sick though to see meds run kritz then run and grab the other meds uber after the kritz works. could also see shit like the vac being run to mid and then swapped out for the medigun

Stagflatline"Weapons dropped by killed players can no longer be picked up for ammo. Killed players will now also drop a medium ammo box. Players that can normally equip the dropped weapon (proper class) can look at the weapon and press the 'action key' to exchange it with what they have equipped. The player's equipped weapon will be dropped on the exchange."

ILY
Wait so does the weapon pickup change only apply in that gamemode, because that seems kinda dumb for regular modes.

This isn't a gamemode, they're skins like CSGO skins. You equip them like normal weapons.

The challenges are like operations in CS where you have to do certain things on certain maps or modes. It's not a seperate gamemode

DougSTOPERRRlet's just totally change the dynamics of an ancient game!CSS and later CSGO changed lots of CS dynamics and the game has never been bigger.

Wait to see the results, it's great to see they are still keeping the game alive, and by those patchnotes they are doing it thinking about the matchmaking.

I wouldn't say cs:go's mechanics are better than 1.6's
Maybe better than source's but even then that's all preference and i prefer source over GO
The reason GO grew to be so big is cause it's new, skins, valve funded tournaments, skins, and ESEA practically killing 1.6 and source in favor of GO so that all the pros had to move over.

I think the weapon pick-up thing was designed so players who don't have a certain unlock can pick it up and try it out for as long as they stay alive and get to play around with it. However, imagine what this means for competitive: You could go Kritzkrieg, kill the enemy medic before their team gets über as you're supposed to do with Kritz and then take the enemy medic's Medigun so you're back on regular über. I don't think that's a great prospect; part of the downside of going Kritz is that you need to walk back to spawn or accept that you're stuck with it for the rest of the round or until you die.

Also, not being able to shoot weapons to move them around seems kind of stupid. It's removing something unique from the game which was kind of cool and useful.

We shouldn't be worried about "PLAYOFF/LAN" implications regarding this update (for the most part). The only weapons that are really going to be touched are the Black Box (a nerf, a straight up nerf) and the Escape Plan ( a baby buff), and these changes may only sway people away from using the Black Box and really do nothing of substance for the Escape Plan.

The only actual one that we're going to have to wait and see about is the idea of picking up a weapon after killing someone for a "free reload". That situation will maybe happen 1 out of 100 bombs because 1. Chances are the soldiers are shooting you as you bomb thus using their ammo as well and 2. IT IS INCREDIBLY unlikely for you in a bomb to both kill the soldier and on his weapon without it being moved or you just not landing the same area.

Edit 1: OOOO, that idea raised about the Kritz to Medigun exchange on kill sounds extremely interesting.
Edit 2: Honestly if the update came out late this week or early next week it would be a good enough window in between the regular season and beginning of playoffs. You know, except for the fact that half of invite has like 2 or 3 games to play from random skips.
Edit 3: Turns out panic attack refers to that shit shotgun and not just a witty title referring to sped up things

Also imagine a team running kritz vs uber, meanwhile you wipe their team with uber and your medic picks the enemy medic kritz right after the fight for a clean kritz advantage push.

While I think the mechanic is interesting I don't know if I like it in tf2. It's gonna be clutter all over the ground with ammo boxes and you cant bounce weapon into you as a soldier for example which is kinda bad :/ What happens if you airshot kill someone, do these packs just drop from the sky? (fragmovies are gonna look like shit if they do) or do they just randomly appear in the ground below where the person was killed?

So many questions left answered, I guess Im just gonna pray they don't fuck me over with more demo and viewmodel bugs so I can actually keep recording stuff.

i hope the weapon has nothing loaded if you pick it up, also i hope the ammo pack spawns on the ground if the player died in the air.

Everything aside from this "pick up dropped weapons hooray" part is really good! I just don't know why they CS:GO'd that mechanic. It was great and normal and fine and afaik most people didn't want it to change.
