TF2 Beta

Hey so you think there'd be a chance at setting up a TF2 beta server? I have a feeling I'm going to be playing that one more often than regular TF2. At least until they roll out one of those new Natascha variants into the regular game.

There is one now up at 208.115.128.10:27045
It hadn't seen too much activity so far, but if a bunch of people join at once... maybe we can get a beta game or two going.

Is it worth joining the beta?

All the Natascha variants have the slowdown fall off. Each one, even the one that's just called "Natascha" has it's own set of new nerfs.

Yeah, I tried out the Natasha in the Beta. They have 3 versions. All have slow down fall off based on distance. The first one was similar to the normal the standard Natasha, except it's got a +30% rev up time before it's usable. Not painfully bad if you plan your Pre-fire revving right. Version 2 is -40% damage, instead of the normal Natasha's -25% damage, and Version 3 is -25% damage as normal, same spin up speed, -75 HP to the heavy. That's 25% of your HP.
I honestly thought the -75 HP version was a horrible idea so I just stuck with the main Natasha and didn't have much issue with it. And the fall off speed isn't bad from what I could tell.

Imo the first variant (the one with the "old" Spin-up time) is the best one,since the other variants are imo a bit exagerate.
I still to give a decisive test to 5gorge or to see what's the main influence for the new "ramp room" door in Granary,but time to time

Everyone I talks to prefer the modified rev time. So it looks like Valve is going with that version.
I also suspect Valve wanted more data regarding the full Saharan spy set and it's balance (in terms of advantages/disadvantages) which is probably why the full set is included. Sneaky of them, isn't it?

Some interesting news. Turns out two FA furs were invited to beta-test Portal 2 in their offices this weekend. So they went...
...and with some feedback, also got a chance to view a preview of "Meet the Medic."
Before you go crazy, here's the URL from one of the furs: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1935729/ There's no spoilers, it's still in development, but just the news that it's being MADE.
Excuse me, I'm going to go nuts...
