Valve- Removed ctf_turbine from the Competitive maps list
- Updated Mann vs. Machine to use the new ping information system already in use for Casual and Competitive matchmaking
- In particular, parties with members from differing regions should now have a better queue experience
Correction from the Scream Fortress VIII release notes:
- Added a taunt Unusualifier
- A new tool that will Unusualify a specific taunt with a random Unusual effect when the tool is applied to the taunt
Rumor has it:
- There's plenty of reports that say that votekicks are fixed - kick responsibly!
- There was also a few more item schema changes, as well as a healthy dose of the low-level stuff
- Size is ~5 MB

ping information system?
edit: so in theory bad region matching shouldn't occur

Thank you for listening Valve. I played a couple Turbine games yesterday and they were pretty unfun. Thanks for taking into account the feedback the competitive community (and a lot of less competitive matchmaking players!) gave you.
On a related note, I've been playing more matchmaking recently. It's in a much better state compared to release. There's been a lot of time for players to rank up from fresh meat, so games are more even and a bit higher skill than they used to be, once you rank up. I recommend other players to try it out- queue with a friend or two, but not more than 3 or 4 people max. There's a lot that could improve, but it's pretty fun!

Havent tried it yet in mm, but any opinions of the people that got to play badwater?
On another note, besides re-adding back badlands and granary, a map rotation should work if the map pool isn't horrible and limits itself to 5cp koth and some A/D. For example for the next map rotation they could replace
Swiftwater for Gravel-pit (I mean it worked years ago so it could be interesting to see it in mm)
Vanguard for ¿Steel? (to test the waters a bit and if it sucks change back)
Foundry for Freight (not sure how this one could work)
This would work even better if you were able to select a map, or at least a minimum given amount. That way the least played maps get out of the rotation for some other fresh ones

I've gotten it once and it was much better than Swiftwater. The one game I got wasn't tons of fun, I'll have to play more to get a better opinion of it

Not at all.
Also, this is a client-side cvar, also accessible in the advanced options.

not a fan of the fact that swiftwater and badwater are in the map pool but i can live with it. if they add granary and badlands back then i'll be pretty happy. once they add more 5cp maps im sure after awhile they'll figure out how much longer a pl map is compared to 5cp so they'll (hopefully) compensate for this by changing it first to 2 wins to first to 4/5 wins.

I dont think they will add bad/granary back as they know people like them and they are good maps, i would expect them to test other 5cp maps like Freight or Yukon.
