And I love snipers that just stand still and fire their gun. It's a pyro's paradise.
And a spy's too.

Looks like they nerfed the Pyro a bit too.

Well it's nice to see a sniper actually doing something for once.

Yup Me and my $5 laptop mouse will out-snipe any little rich kid with his 500000000000-dpi Raze Superkilldeathrazermonster mouse.

Any of you guys playing later? Once I'm done with this essay I might play some.

No. Pyro is better than ever. So many reflect kills now it isn't even funny.

I'm about to head on now. If anyone wants to play, the link to my Steam ID is below.

I'm also up for a game if anybody else is.

Equip FaN, Gibus, and Bronze Medal, suddenly everyone hates me...

I have silver. I bought it something like 355 days after release.

I dunno why I has silver... I mean I started playing only a few days after release...

I orginally had the 360 version of the Orange Box, but decided to upgrade over a year ago. Was just a couple months off a Silver, but oh well, just a chunk of pixels. Weird to see people overreact to some items. But the same thing happened to the Halos and Soldier Medals.

Yay I got a gold. Been playing since Oct 19, 2007.

:ahhh:

Robot Arm?!

Oct 17th 2007, so gold for me to.



Cool. Too bad I have not played in 5+ weeks due to my pinched nerve. (Short of creating my own local server to equip my gold medals. )

I love the engie class. I can't wait

It's time to break out the ol' wrench. Also how do you know if you got a medal?

Join a game then die. (Creating a local sever works to, and is how I got mine. Rocket jump for the win. )

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!

This is for all the level 1 sentries we lost. TURTLE FEST!!!!!!!!!!! :turtle:

Edit
This is rave worthy. http://ussrave.ytmnd.com/

Oh my god it looks like he is welding his hand!!!!11111!!!1111 Robots? Other shenanigans like the spy's cloak all of a sudden developing a "mysterious bug" that causes him to decloak.

Edit3
Oh my god I have my own crazy theory. In the video we see tons of mechanical parts, robots, and we see what appears to be the engie welding and hammering his hand. He even inspects it afterwords. Then there is the flamethrower, there is a minigun barrel thing around too from the heavy.

I have had this crazy idea he is getting some sort of arm unlock. When you kill someone you pick up their weapon and integrate a part of it into your "mechanical hand". So if you kill a pyro and walk over his flame thrower you get a mini one built into your hand. Now is this of any real benefit? I don't know. Time will tell.

Crazy talk.


Pneumatic glove or Power glove.

I'm really curious what they put in for the engineer and how it balances with what they already have.

As a side note I now have a primeval medal .

Does anyone know what the * is referring to on this post of the TF2 blog?

http://www.teamfortress.com/119/

(It says "We couldn't have done it without you*!" and I was looking for some sort of witty comment on the webpage but couldn't find the asterisks they were referring to)

Taking your idea and running with it:
Instead of an arm unlock, the engie swaps his pistol slot for different upgrade styles for the sentry. Let me elaborate.
At level 3, the sentry is pretty darn powerful, but generic. This update could add a level 3+ sentry that integrates one of three things (each found from a drop) to it: A natascha mini-gun upgrade to the barrels (slows movement speed 50%), a "direct-hit" upgrade to the rockets (making them move more quickly and do more damage, but decrease the blast radius), or add on a mini-flamethrower sticking out of the sentry's butt, igniting potential spies, but also hurting the engie if he stands in it's way. Each upgrade would get it's own "item drop" part that would either fit in the secondary slot or the misc. slot, and would take an additional 100 metal to upgrade the level 3 sentry. The items should also be craftable, but instead of an engineer class token (that would just be silly) the weapon that is being copied would be required with the scrap metal and slot token. (I.E. for the natasha barrel upgrade part, you would need to smelt a scrap metal, secondary slot token, and one "Natascha")

If this is what they do, I so freaking called it. If it isn't, Valve if you're reading this please take my idea into consideration. I love you guys and will wait until 2050 before beginning to complain about Half-Life 2 episode 3's release date.

Gold here. I was a naughty boy and opened the OB 2 hours before Christmas Day, according to the date.
