Valve- Fixed a security issue related to the replay system (thanks to Nathaniel Theis and Zemnmez for this report)
- Fixed the Taunt: Burstchester using a Sniper pain sound for the Soldier
- Fixed the countdown timer not always drawing on pd_watergate
- Fixed seeing the team leader's dispenser health while spectating on pd_watergate

I wouldn't worry about matchmaking having to do with MvM stuff. My guess is Valve just copy pasted the outline for the MvM lobby part of the HUD to use it as the foundation for the matchmaking lobby. They probably forgot to remove MvM references.

for sure. they used a p-value for the xpos of that stats underline

they had no intention of people looking at this, its just a bunch of placeholder stuff, the rank is what's kind of interesting

First off, it was me, and you better not ever fucking forget that, least of all confuse me with god damn enigma of all people. And you're remembering incorrectly. No limits was only our speculation; at the Valve meeting (which was in April, 6 months ago as of writing) they hadn't made a final decision.

I'm getting 'hl2 os x quit unexpectedly' after this update, I tried re installing steam and tf2 but both didn't work.

As much as I genuinely don't mind Highlander I really hope they don't add it into mm. They have a great opportunity to create a single defining competitive gamemode, and it looks like there will be division right from the beginning.

Imma be honest. I fucking hate change. So I hope mm tanks so I can play the same old leagues with the same old rules and watch tf2 wither away and die slowly over the years. I'm not even being sarcastic

Did they confirm how they were going to do rankings? Is it like a solid rank with hidden mmr brackets like csgo or just a flat out number like dota 2?

It looks like there will be ranks like in csgo, because it says %ranktitle% so it will be name of the rank, not the number.

I wonder what kind of system they will use to rank people. As the work with TF2playerrankings has shown in the past, it's really not easy at all to ascertain how well say a pyro or engineer is doing so I reckon they'll just stick with a straight win/loss ELO system but that could make it really difficult to progress on anything that doesn't have a lot of fragging power or an impact on the game e.g. medic, pyro, engineer (on anything but payload) etc.
