This thread describes the changes that are known about so far. Some guy near the end claims that the Engineer has gotten a jetpack…seems weird (and something that would be more suited to the Pyro if you ask me).
Jetpack? Does the Engineer really need that kind of mobility? Sounds like something the Heavy could use (although those increased-mobility gloves mentioned in that thread already cover that for him). Engy has more of a need for defense against demos, really.
Yeah, turned out that guy was talking bollocks, lol
What the engie really needs is something to do besides whacking his stuff all day. That new wrench that reduces build time sounds like it’ll help offensive engineering somewhat.
Goddamn, nice. Hopefully the Sandman and Demoman’s grenades get a well-deserved nerf.
Although the folks on that forum thread pooh-poohing the update because it’s for competitive players are idiots.
Well, Valve just announced a new update. Perhaps this is when the balance changes will be rolled out?
(Also new hats? When I still haven’t unlocked a single one myself? Srsly Valve?)

Update’s out!
Sandman can no longer stun ubered players and gives the Scout less health. 😀
