Feb 28th TF2 Update

Sorry I am a little late on this one, I am at work.

Added "Custom" tab to the server browser
- Servers can now specify metatags describing the custom rules they've
adopted
- Players can use tag filtering to find servers running the custom rules
they want to play
- Added options for servers who want to become custom games: Disable
critical hits (tf_weapon_criticals), eliminate respawn times
(mp_disable_respawn_times), and raise maxplayers above 24

Initial release of Tournament mode (mp_tournament)
- UI for handling team naming, ready mode, and win results
- Disables team player limits, autobalancing, and intermission

Class balancing
- Reduced Soldier's maximum rocket reserve ammo from 36 to 16
- Reduced Demoman's maximum sticky bomb reserve ammo from 30 to 16
- Reduced Demoman's maximum grenade launcher reserve ammo from 40 to 24

- Added protection against voice command spamming. Dramatic reduction in
teleporters needed
- Fixed mp_timelimit ending the map during the middle of a round on maps
like Dustbowl and GravelPit
- Fixed "lastdisguise" command not remembering if you were disguised as
your own team
- Added "Toggle Disguise Team" binding in Options->Keyboard to toggle
the disguise team for the Spy's PDA
- Changed PDA menus to accept keys bound to "slot1", "slot2", etc., and
"slot10" cancels
- Fixed Spectator targetID not using team colors
- Changed team autobalance code to not balance the teams when the active
round timer shows less than 60 seconds
- Fixed "-maxplayers" on the command line not correctly setting the
maxplayers value for the server
- Fixed Badlands never having Sudden Death triggered
- Fixed Engineer being able to detonate buildings that are being sapped
- Changed Engineer buildings to detonate when a player disconnects
instead of blinking out
- Fixed potential client crash for players being healed by a Medic or
dispenser
- Made several improvements to server-side stat reporting (not related
to individual player stats)

what 36 to 16?!?!?? thats outrage, i only have to reload 4 time then i have to grab new weapons. Why do valve wants to torture so bad?!?!?!?!?

16 rockets.  That sucks.  A lot.

Seriously, what the hell is this. You can barely do anything with 16 rockets.

Apparently its a mistake. Demoman gets 16 grenades.

Oh wow, poor Demoman. Was this change even necessary though?

WTFBBQQQQQQ
Reduced Demoman's maximum sticky bomb reserve ammo from 30 to 16!@!$@!$!%$!@!

Thats so fucked up! I can only launch down 2 volleys of stickies! I'm uber pissed bout this one.

Just finished playing a few matches as a Soldier tonight with the new update. I wasn't really happy with the reduction in reserved rockets, but I found that I was more specific of the targets I chose to shoot at rather than just firing away in a general direction. This change has forced me to anticipate an enemies' movement if I want to make the most of my reserves.

I wonder if this update to Soldiers and Demos is more about reduction of spam than it is balance.

It cuts down on spamming, ladies, pick your shots and take weapons from those you kill.  You still can kill half the classes in the game with 1 hit no crit.  You have 20 rockets/grenades and 24 stickies (remember you start with fully loaded weapons) if you can't kill someone with that much ammo (and thus take their weapon) you're doing it wrong.

Ya, I don't like the reduction in rockets because I would rather not have to continue to look at my ammunition level every 5 seconds when I'm shooting rockets.  When there's 3 or 4 guys rushing in front of me, I could use 16 rockets in a matter of 30-40 seconds. I don't know what valve is thinking in that we have to worry about our ammunition so much.  Who cares if we have rockets. As soon as we run out of ammunition while in the middle of a battle, we're pretty much dead as a soldier.

Sometimes I like when a game is constantly updated a lot, but in this case, I think valve should stop updating TF2.  It's only making it harder for players.
