The problem is that they add more bugs than they fix, I don't think they test updates at all. It sad since TF2 was so polished in beta and then there has been a lot of half bad changes and a bunch of bugs. Some examples:
Since the recent engi update: *Flame/backburn attack animation never stops unless you switch weapon so it looks like you are running around with a big vibrator. Very annoying and I don't understand how these problems can get in the game, shipped and then not even fixed. Same for the other pyro bug below. *Teleporters looks like they are still working when the exit is destroyed. *The killcam sound is often missing and the game does not go quiet while showing it anymore. Since big pyro update: *Pyro animation never starts at the class selection screen. He is just standing there. How could you guys not have seen this for so long? *All primary weapon unlocks (even in heavy and medic update) got really ugly models. No, I'm not talking about the design. I play the game at the highest settings and mat_picmip -3 and the game is BEAUTIFUL, except for the bb, kk and slowgun (in that order) that look HORRIBLE. While this is probably not technically a bug I consider it as one because it drags the game down. Since big heavy update: *Sandvich taunts do not play unless you spam voice commands while the animation plays. *When you are killed in the final cart explosion an (random?) enemy will often get an assist or kill on you (I don't know which) and you see a killcam up in the air that shows… nothing at all. Since somewhere on the road: *A real showstopper; fake crits. I get more fake crits than I get real crits. I think it only happen with hitscan weapons and it happens all the time for heavy's and I mean all the time. It looks and sounds just like crits, but there is no "critical hit" text above the enemies. It is so bad I actually get happily surprised when playing heavy and people actually die when I crit. It only applies to random crits, kk it not affected. *And another really bad problem: Ambient sounds play when it should not. Often happens when you die or spawn for the first time. Playing Well while listening to the BLIP BLIP BLIP from the computers above the flag/final point at full volume everywhere on the map will drive anyone mad. Only fix is to rejoin or use snd_restart, but how many players know that? Besides it has bad side effects, like removing the sounds completely or making them play at other places where they should not be. *And a third one: Problems caused by lag. Mostly invisible players and cart indication goes away. Actually, the cart indicator ALWAYS goes away, you are very lucky if you can play a whole game of goldrush without losing it because every time there is a new round there is a high risk it will disappear. Only workaround is to rejoin or start recording a demo (!) because it apparently sync the game again or something, something that TF2 should be doing by itself anyway. To name a few...
