Hop on the Montana Fragfest TF2 Server and try out the update ASAP!

I haven’t had a chance to play it yet, because my bastard of an internet service provider Bresnan tripped on it’s own feet last night. Let us know what you think about the update in the comments!

With that new game type comes 3 new maps: Viaduct, Nucleus, and Sawmill. Both Nucleus and Sawmill are reinvisionings of existing maps, but Viaduct looks fun as hell as it takes place during a snow storm!

Check out Day 1 and report back your thoughts.

Manic Monday

Work is hard. We all hate it, so wind down on the first day of the week by electronically killing people. It is every Monday starting at 9pm MST. Let us help you help yourself.

Beer Fortress 2

We like beer here at Montana Fragfest, that is why every Thursday at 8pm MST we created an excuse to drink beer and play video games. Tell your girlfriend to buzz off, TF2 is your mistress that night.

Seriously? A jar of piss?

Here at Montana Fragfest I’ve been known to have a “potty mouth” and “say things that are inappropriate” but that is a tone and a style that I set for myself. The recent update has had Valve really dive into a style and tone for TF2 that has never been there before. This game has always had cartoony violence, silly characters, and odd weapons but “Jarate” (a jar of urine that you throw) is below them. Jokes in the “Meet The Spy” video such a spy getting it on with the scout’s mom and “now he’s here to f*ck US” just don’t fit the attitude that has been established in this game thus far. Even the scene where the blue spy’s head gets blown off seems out of place.

Grow Up

One reason I’ve always loved Team Fortress 2 is the subtle humor. The team was always very clever about doing things, and these recent oddities just seem like a lazy 12 year old’s attempt at humor. I ask the Team Fortress group to tone it down. Get back to being clever! It’s what made me like you so much in the first place.

The Dead Ringer Spy Watch

The have brought back the feign death ability from Team Fortress Classic with the Dead Ringer Spy watch. What this watch does is feign death when you are hit with a body shot, leaving a fake dead body on the ground and cloaking you for 8 seconds.

While it’s great to see the feign death ability come back, I just don’t see a large amount of practicailty of it.

The Cloak and Dagger Spy Watch

Not really clear if this is an unlockable or just a replacement of the regular spy watch, but it allows the a cloaked spy to stop and recharge their cloak. As long as they stand still their cloak will recharge.

This will make quite the change for spys, allowing them to basically remain permanatly cloaked throuhout an enemies’ base.

I think it’s useful, but not useful enough to give up a gun or melee weapon. What are your guys’ thoughts?

Should be exciting, although the fallout from the scout update has barely susbsided and I still don’t have that damn Sandman.
