Just played a few waves on the new MVM map bigrock as spy. From what I saw, robo engies have to manually place their sentry gun first for it to appear. The teleporter however, will appear even when the engineer is dead. There is a huge blue light it emits right above it so you can find its location though. Without the engineer the sentry sets up level 1 style but turns into level 3 when it is completed. The engineer doesn't have the ability to discern spies in normal difficulty at least so he's pretty easy to kill. Since the sapper acts consumable however, make sure you sap the sentry first as sapping either the engineer or his buildings will not spread around.

The map itself is really large and the first point is contained enough an extremely good team could probably hold before the robots even exit the tunnel into the second. Some of the robots glitch if they take the upper route before the bomb disposal and get stuck into the wall though

After wasting a couple of tokens to get the new scardy Engie weapon (

I am weak.

Well, at least I have a slick new winter hat for the soldier to go with my Festive Rocket launcher.

Aw man, the Reindoonicorn is a Pyroland item.

Now where's my Pyroland secondary for Pyro? Or my strange Scorch Shot? Since Baby Face's Blaster got a strange variant, that must mean the other Pyromania items aren't far off.

Just joined a Valve server and people are mentioning Secret Saxtons dropping for them on kills.

EDIT: Gifts drop from corpses, not on every kill but frequently enough that a shitload of gifts are going around. I don't know how it works, I picked one up and nothing seemed to happen, but it seems to WORK like a Secret Saxton in that someone gets a gift from another player and it levels the Spirit of Giving.

Just wanna correct myself here--the presents are for the 2011 Gift Grab achievement that does not matter at all for anyone who played last year. Players who didn't play last year and get a free Secret Saxton got one this year. So that's where the presents are coming from. My mistake!

I think I've done pretty well today. Strange festive grenade launcher and an unusual vintage merriwether with bubbling. Really didn't expect a winter crate to give me an unusual.

Opened some crates, got the goggle hat for the Soldier and the winter coat for the Medic. I wanted that Medic coat, so that's one thing to cross off my wishlist already! Now to trade for the Heavy mullet and the big old scarf...

Wow, MVM_Bigrock is a huge map, it might actually make the teleport to spawn flask a viable option for a few classes just to get to the hole quicker if a scoutbot gets through.

How do you cycle resistances on the Vaccinator?

# ? Dec 21, 2012 01:21

Desperate Character: Apr 13, 2009

It seems that robo-engineers have the same spawn mechanic as spies in which they spawn at certain locations on the map. We had one spawn literally right behind us at the first point in that area with the small health pack and ammo. This new map is definitely a spy-haven and I would say it would be better to use two spies than one and a scout for it. With all the money you get in normal you can have a fully upgraded sapper at start-up and a maxed-out pistol in the final wave.

I saw that they added an attack3 command to the patch notes. I wonder if they'll actually make use of it in the near future beyond just the medic's new medigun. Just thinking about any new weapons in the future with multiple functions is awesome; maybe a new stickybomb launcher or something.

Lots of good items this year. Good update.

Why does valve always rename items? Copyright law?

And Mannco Online cap? For making a purchase using your phone or something?

Old botkillers are now "Mk. 1" botkillers - guessing all new botkillers are going to have those sweet engie heads on them:

Does...this mean that "Mk.1"'s no longer drop? Hmm.

And how does a strange sandvich work? Eaten? Dropped? Healed teammates?
If valve can make a strange sandvich happen, I reckon strange gunboats would count "kills while explosive jumping".

New engie gun is... kinda underwhelming. It was fun to stand just out of range of the rockets flying at my sentry as I repaired it, though. It doesn't remove sappers.
