“Fixed stickies being destructible before they’re stuck to something”

What does this mean exactly?

/me goes to test

Results- presumably you can’t shotgun a sticky still in the air.

m0re hud requires a reinstall, hope old demos work…I have several I wanted to watch and some some kills as medic I might have recorded :(.

If this breaks demos – I will cry

Lame hats.

Yay sticky fix.

Partial sticky fix.

Partial sticky fix.

how do you mean? didn’t they fix the bouncing due to the splash damage?

The demoman stickies bug it wasnt really a bug, it was something that make Demoman less Overpowered than it was. It was part of the gameplay, when Valve try to change or add something to the gameplay, generaly is useless and disturbing (demoman’s shell and sword for example).

The other, well, from the view of point of a gamer this update its so irrelative like the tf2 fan boy’s threads of the tf2 steam forum.

Here in Argentina we dont play cp_gorge, so…and about de hats, they are more cool-less than the camera spam beard for example, and i dont know how much fps will take the f***ing model of the three hats all in one.

i fucking love valve for fixing sniper and demoman bug. I was raging everytime scout was killing my stickie while they were flying and then killing me :D
