Well it looks like the next TF2 update is coming soon. There been a couple things that have been revealed which is some some new announcer's lines:
http://kotaku.com/5421317/next-team-fortress-2-update-to-get-friendly

And a comic:
http://www.teamfortress.com/war/administrator/

Friendship...Hm well after the comic, I wonder if this update is going to be both a Solider and Demoman update? Oh and Valve said there not going to be a new gamemode for this update.

I'm assuming that those 'custom orders' in the comic will be the soldier and demo updates. We'll see, though.

I believe friendly fire was in the game originally but was removed because it was too insane.

Everytime there is a change people start whining. I haven't seen one that I didn't like personally but I'm easy going.

Yeah, Engineers are still a large part of CP maps. The only time spies even threaten an engineer and his sentry is if there are no good pyros around.

Demo will most likely be nerfed. Valve has been looking for a way to nerf 'winbombs' (they call them that) without diminishing their ability to take out sentries.

Soldiers will hopefully get something unique that will make the class enjoyable to play because it is by far the dullest class to play, imo.

LIES, complete lies... Engies are still very very usefull. If an engie can get a pyro guarding his sentry and stuff with him they are very powerful.

Dont underestimate the power of the engie :P

As a mainly spy player, I can say with great confidence that engineers are weak. A good spy with the right timing can kill an engie and all his toys before anyone even sees him. Though a pyro spamming is certainly a good deterrent, unless he STAYS there for the whole game, a spy with Cloak & Dagger can just wait him out till the pyro leaves.

I donno, I see tons of engies at the top of the scoreboard when im playing tf2 bud. I think your right if they are an average or bad engie, but if you have a great or good engie and a friend helping him out, they are one of the most effective classes.

Its definatly harder since hte spy update, but if you work at it you can still be a very effective Engie these days.

As mostly a Medic and Engie I get killed mostly by Scout, Spy and Demoman, and the first week or two after the spy update It was hard, but I ended up making adjustments to the new spy stuff and am still very effective with engie when I need to be. not many spies sneak up behind me anymore because after I get my sentry up I just use melee non stop when people besides my pyro come near my stuff. And if they are invisible, im still using melee all around my stuff to repair and then tons of the time randomly near my stuff incase of spies.

TF2 is a very balanced game imo, if something is going wrong for you, then you need to adapt to the situation at hand and figure it out.

I honestly find spies get me more when im medic then when im engie.

Cloak and Dagger creates a passive spy. While you're waiting for that pyro to leave, you could have been playing medic and had an uber. Yes, a good spy > good engineer, but good spies are so very rare. Besides, the decent pyro > best spy. The pyro doesn't have to stay there "the whole game" if there's and a decent engineer can keep sappers off their sentries and avoid dying long enough for a friendly to come and kill the spy.

I played spy long before the update and I loathe the Cloak and Dagger. It doesn't say so, but it's capacity is much smaller than the original. You spend nearly 3x as long getting across the map as a spy with Dead Ringer or Original Watch both of which can pick up ammo and continue on. Not to mention they spend way to long waiting for an 'ideal' moment. I think if there was a graph, CnD would have fewer kills and fewer destructions per match compared to both the original watch and the dead ringer. The Dead Ringer is good (and slightly overpowered when used as a distracting maneuver), but it's annoying to have a 2nd spy running around letting everyone know that they need to check for spies.

Have you ever played on a server that had friendly fire? I don't know about you, but I can't stand it.

I'm guessing the emphasis on friendship is just a way of saying that the new soldier weapons will be anti-demomen, and vice-versa.

How so? The game is still balanced, and we've only had more maps, gametypes and improvements since then.
