Thank you D

Dude. Awesome. I hope there's a secondary weapon that makes you move faster.

Like some rollerskates :D

I doubt that. In the TF2 blog they specifically mentioned that they didn't want to change the role of any class by giving them something that would approach the role of another. In other words no fast heavies, no high hp Scouts and no Spies with explosives.

Awesome? :D

There's an achievement for eating sandwiches.

Tf2 4tw.

So basically the gloves are like the ubersaw with the slower swing speed.

Looks good so far.

Wat. The K.G.B. give you 100% crit rate for 5 seconds after scoring a kill with them. The Ubersaw charges 25% of your ubercharge. I don't see the similarities.

Only similar in the fact their disadvantage is the slower swing speed.

They both have different positive effects.

Valve time in 12hours! Can't wait to see what the new Minigun will be.

"Badwater Basin
A new payload map."

Really need different threads for this stuff?

Anyway, I'm tempted to go back and play some more TF2 after a few months of not playing it. Hmm...

The new minigun has quite a cool effect, worth checking out.

Wow, arena mode is going to rock. Most people I was talking to online thought it would suck, but I am seriously psyched.

man, I gotta get this game.

Pretty lackluster update so far. The sandwiches better rock.

Nastasha is pretty cool looking

Not going to have much point. You're expending more ammo to kill someone more slowly. If the slow is any less than 25% the only purpose it will have is giving Snipers easy headshots.

I can't wait for this update. The Heavy is my favorite class by far, and I really want achievements for it bad.

Your point is invalid.

The purpose of it is to stop scouts from escaping as they so often do. On the flip side, it will make you less powerful against other heavies. So enemies like scouts and pyros that usually have a decent chance of escaping might not be able to"

Kind of disappointing.

I don't think I'll be cheating on Sasha anytime soon.

$100 says I play TF2 at least 3 times more than you do. I know when it would be useful to slow down your enemies. When a Pyro is in your face you're going to want that extra 25% damage or you will die. When an enemy Medic is healing your target you're not going to be able to kill it even at medium range.  Scouts will be the only easy target with Natascha. And don't forget you'll be using more ammo and it will take 25% longer to kill everyone.

Basically any time your enemies are not running it's going to be useless, but I'll wait to see how slow it makes them before weighing up the cons."

Point out the part where I was a dick please. I was simply using a gambling analogy to make a point.

Maybe you could read it again and realize that I was never worked up, nor am I ever worked up over this website.

Oh also the moment you use the word 'fuck' is when everyone see's you're the one who needs to chill.

It depends really. I treat people how they treat me.

"It depends really. I treat people how they treat me."

It's cool. I didn't mean to start anything.

This is good news for me anyway, i play a Heavy for a clan. About time HWG got his own means of healing. ( I'm referring to the sandwiches ).
As for the new gun, i think its pretty neat. I don't really have a say on it until i try it out though.

Arena Mode sounds cool as well.

Has the sandwiches thing been confirmed yet? If anyone knows anything, any idea on what spot it will take in the inventory? I can't imagine the Heavy being more viable on its own with a healing item over a shotgun, as Sasha takes to long to warm up. It sounds like delaying the inevitable."

My Sandvich speculation:

After killing an enemy Scout the Heavy has 5 seconds to perform a taunt, causing him to eat a Sandvich restoring 100 HP.

I guess the only place it could take would be the shotgun?
Or perhaps it gets its own slot."

lawl at the sandvich vid.

I take it that's our new " meet the..." video. If so, kinda disappointed we didn't get to see medic, spy or pyro. Regardless the sandvitch was hilarious.

I really don't know what to think of it replacing the shotgun. On one hand I'm rarely a heavy when i don't have a medic buddy so health isn't an issue. On the other I barley use the shotgun as the heavy either.

Put teleporter here.

So now that the update is out and we've at a play with the weapons what are peoples though?

I currently have Sasha, sandvich and boxing gloves equipped. The new mini gun definitely feels underpowered and it doesn't seem to slow players down enough to warrant the damage decrease.

I really like playing arena though. It gives me an opporunity to really put the pyros flare gun to use.
