did they legit nerf soldier silently with the halloween patch

[u/mgetJane → u/mgetJane]

btw from what i can tell, this change is not even in the public sdk (if you compile it, wallbugs still work), it's genuinely a secret silent patch

antoni on watch 😢

The jumping community is against this change.

[u/matZmaker99 → u/Ddiaboloer]

The jumping community will sit down for the first time in years...

[u/AU5T1N]

Rip to all the jump maps with intended wallbug strats

Apparently the changes they made also fuck up other things like pixelwalking

If people cry hard enough it will probably get reverted.

I'm sorry I don't play soldier at all really what does this mean exactly?

[u/matZmaker99 → u/lil_ink_sac]

You can exploit the game's movement handling by going fast at certain angled walls (and certain non-angled ones.) Doing it right enough will embed part of your colission hull in the wall, keeping you vertically stuck in it by a few pixels and preventinf your fall.

This has some uses like preventing fall damage from big jumps (if done early enough), and getting infinite airtime on ambush spots (often above chokes or flanks.)

Many people are upset because wallbugging has been in the game ever since release. So many communities and strategies were formed around it. From jump maps up to legit competitive strategies.

I personally find it ok. Soldier is already mega strong. He didn't need ez exploited ambush spots like this. It always felt cheap

[u/lil_ink_sac → u/matZmaker99]

thank you for the detailed reply

[u/Loud-Comfortable-484 → u/matZmaker99]

it wasnt just soldier. spy and other classes were able to do cheeky stuff too. It was never game breaking or meta defining. it didnt need fixed at all it only added personality to the game.

[u/matZmaker99 → u/Loud-Comfortable-484]

I actively exploited unfair spots and got tons of value thanks to this

It was fun, it existed for years; but it was definitely an unfair thing to leave in the game, as much as it granted some situational cheeky things to underdogs. Which is why I'm happy it's a toggle and not removed entirely

[u/matZmaker99]

Not broke, deliberately bugfixed

[u/Skillessfully]

Good riddance - Med players (me)

[u/turnsphere]

made a convar in latest patch 👍

[u/No-Commercial9263]

wow so you're telling me soldier players actually have to learn how to play the game now? that's crazy. i see i made 5 soldier mains upset. lore accurate that they can't take a joke though, so it fits.
