This will definitely make it tougher for demos to spam their fucking stickies. Gotta think now before they lay the damn things. Soldiers too won't be able to go on the rampages they used to. I'm down for this. Safety + Peace

Engineers will get some love out of this. Already tonight I was hearing more calls for dispensers and many "out of ammo" comments. I haven't trolled the boards yet to see the theories behind Valve's move. I know that they do extensive metrics on where/how/who kills another person on each map. I'm also wondering if the new "Goldrush" game type may factor in. It'll be interesting to see but I think the community will adjust adapt on this. The soldiers and demos in our little gang don't spam too much anyway.

I think everyone forgot too quick that kills drop ammo, simply grab their weapons, this isn't much of a big deal if you remember to pick up their weapons for ammo.  ahhhh_crap wrote:no, splinter has ethics and whut has emotions

I WANT MY 40 ROCKETS BACK
Especially on 2fort, when you could just spam the other base with rockets and rack up the kills....

See, I get good with one class and someone comes along to piss on my parade. I hate you all. You should be more like Cantrip.  Twitchy: "I pulled a Cantrip . . ." GivePeaceAChance: "If the Tempest had nipples, I'd pinch that shit." Xylicon: "I'm about to deliver my [Richard] in your face for posting that stupid shit. " WDF?: "He keeps reaming me... night after night... I'm rather sore." GivePeaceAChance: "OMG MY NIPS ARE HARD" llenta: "cantrip, you fail!!!" Filliam H. Muffman: "i'm on top of dick"

Any change that gets people to try new classes and strategies is OK with me. The change will make the game more interesting and challenging. The default choice for people now seems to be soldier ordemo. It will also get people in these classes to put more thought into the game and combine stealth and deceit with firepower.
