Interview with Robin Walker

http://communityfortress.com/tf2/news/exclusive-interview-with-valves-robin-walker.php

Points of interest

New Demo system

Quote:

We've got another new Attack/Defense map that's aimed at shorter, fixed time limit so that competitive teams can play a full round of it within the same timeframe that they play a 5 point CP match currently

Quote:

And we're got new 5 point CP & CTF maps in the works that we know will work for everyone.

Quote:

We've got a map where we're trying out areas that modify themselves based on the number of players in the game, in the hopes that both public & competitive players can use it.

Quote:

We already have a couple of large updates in the works that aren't tied to a specific class, so we'll see what you think of those.

Quote:

At the very least, future packs will allow you to use achievements to get the new items, but we might move to a mode where we just give them to you.

Quote:

I think we'll probably add better tools for them to control exactly what players can & can't use within matches.

Unfortunately, lag cannot be fixed, except with everyone getting better internet connections. And even then, there would still be some lag.

not talking about lag, talking bout crouchbug, hitboxes, and a new engine, even though i dont know waht a new engine would do im sure itd help xD

CSS may get updated to a more recent iteration of the Source engine at some point, but definitely won't get a new engine, that would be a new game.

The crouchbug, if it's where you rapidly crouch and uncrouch to be able to see while not being seen is caused by lag.

Anyway, CSS doesn't get many updates because it's only really old competitive players that play it still, so the benefits for Valve are low and they would complain about updates anyway.

I think the maps on CS:S should be updated with the area boxes for the items. Like in CS Compound where the chimney thing is, if you try shoot people you can see in many areas around the chimney it thinks you are hitting the wall, even though your not.

But the hitbox thing is annoying. Specially with Pyro backburners.

zblock has fixed crouch bugging on css as a side note

.

This update looks good though, I'm glad Valve are listening to competitive players over what they want to see in the game.

I just love all the hype and characterism behind TF2. Stuff like this just makes it more than a game. I wonder if this Soldier really is Valve?
