R.I.P. sandvich [9/19/08-2/14/12]


But in all seriousness, wtf is valve doing here???

[Vivi Hill]

Even though I do highlander heavy, I can see where they're coming from with this. I barely ever eat my sandvich, just plop it down and pick it up. It basically gives me a little more health. It's not what they intended, so it makes sense they're nerfing it.

I presume it can still be used to heal teammates, though. If not then that's something I'm disappointed about. I liked being able to help my medic out with a sandvich.

Now I need a real sandvich instead of the steak.

Exactly, I pretty much use the sandvich exclusively to heal medics. Idk what I will do if we can't still do that. I don't really mind if they just get rid of the ability to heal yourself. It sucks, but I could live with that I guess.

I think the beta version could still heal teammates; it would be odd if they removed that without testing.

^this

They updated in game trade to be more like steams? terrible?

New items are disappoint.

That's always good news......wait, there are still people who ACTUALLY play beta??!!?1!!!?? lolz

[FlamingOwlOfDeath]

All I can say is that if sandvich can't heal medics...FML.

But in all honesty, we did know this day was coming. I just wish they could have waited a while longer before nerfing it.

[Jettrax]

Wow this is bullshit. I always drop it to restore teammates health and my own, now i may have to equip the shotgun or something.

[Rologton]

Honestly the way it worked before effectively gave the Heavy 450 HP. This was kind of necessary. Now if he wants to heal himself he has to be vulnerable and out of action. It still heals teammates, though (or else what would be the point of dropping it in the first place) so it's still a really good and team oriented unlock.

I can deal with that, but why not test it first? Maybe they didn't want the feedback like this from the beta players.

It's been in beta for a while. They changed it along with the Tomislav changes.

Exactly. I've seen frag videos of pro heavies that just surf of a soldier's rocket into their sandvich they throw right below them and spin up and mow them down. Making it so it only heals teammates OR forces you to taunt is a great idea. Plus I actually enjoy the ability to repick up the sandvich, if the team's medic is down I try to camp hp packs and heal teammates watching chokepoints.

[Wakka]

yeah guys, it still heals teammates, don't hurt yourselves

[Vivi Hill]

Actually it should be interesting to have the Sandvich as an ammokit. Sometimes I run out of ammo and it might be useful. I guess it's 100 boolet like any other dropped item?

[TheMcGib]

It's sad and interesting at the same time. Does anybody know how much ammo it restores?

[mrpikmin2]

If I understand correctly it just fills your sandwich meter back up.

[Ph33r]

Fucking Bullshit! Cry baby Heavy haters ruin everything! This is the worse day of my life! I hope everyone is happy!

[Cash]

Yeah, it doesn't dispense ammo. It just refills the sandvich meter :/

[Vivi Hill]

Meh, it's been all right. In highlander I generally just give sandvich to FlamingoWoolOfDeath.

I enjoy this update, when i pyro (which is always) its a pain to kill heavy with an axtinguisher when the sandvich just extinguishes him

how is it possible a sandwich can douse fire

[THATGUYWHOEATS]

how is it possible a sandwich can douse fire

You rub it all over yourself, this absorbs the fire and leads to a delicious toasty sandvich.

[TheMcGib]

toasty! toasty!

When you get an amount of health in an instant besides a medic's healing, it will extinguish the fire.
IE. Pills, Health Kits, Health Boxes, Sandvich , Steak

[Bullet Whiz]

That is all I did with the sandvich now I guess I'm stuck with a normal non family business shotgun.

When i go on a literal 12+ killing spree, i tend to forget to control my ammo usage.

All this was was a ton of people going, "OH WAHHH. This heavy was almost dead and i would have killed him if he hadn't thrown his sandvich on the ground to heal himself! I feel like making other players suffer because I am incapable of retreating and grabbing a medkit!"
