TF2 Heavy Update on Tuesday

OOh it looks like the Heavy is going to have a large advantage in melee maps. Continuous crits ftw!

Rasputin? Awesome.

The KGB looks epic lulz.
 
Very interesting that Valve would put names on the images in order to hint at the method of acquiring the achievement.

Does that make any sense? I'm not sure if it does now.
 
I kinda wish Valve would stop using the "Slower melee lol" as they're disadvantage for the melee alternative
 
Why does a upgrade always NEED a disadvantage?

I thought it was a ****in' upgrade!? NOT A ****ING "LOL ANOTHER CHOICE OF WEAPON YOU MIGHT POSSIBLE WANT BUT THIS..."
 
Because it's a side-weapon, fool.

In fact, it is exactly what you said - it's another choice of weapon. Not an upgrade.
 
Also, TF2 was (and it's arguable that it's not so much anymore but personally I'd say it's not too bad) extremely well-balanced. Giving achievement weapons without any downsides would take this finely-tuned balance, rape it with barbed wire and throw it off a ship.
 
I reckon that the new weapons for each class are part of a re-balancing effort of Valve's. As player experience grew certain classes and strategies become less viable. Giving appropriate and balanced new weapons is a way of allowing the classes to fulfilling roughly the same roles - just using different methods.

It's an alternative weapon, not an upgrade. If they were upgrades it would be both unbalanced until all classes are done and we wouldn't need to choose between the original weapons. You are incorrect in your view that these are upgrades at all.
 
Love the Rasputin achievement. Everyone who hasn't already read about his death, read now.
 
I did a report on Rasputin. That guy was ****ing insane. What is the achievement about?
 
Taking damage from multiple sources I believe, much like the medic achievement for healing somone doing it.
 
If this is considering getting past the filter, please edit Mr. Mod looking at this.

OLHAY UCKFAY!
 
It's a lot harder to read piglatin then hear it. I also think it's more along the lines of EYHOL UCKFAY! Atleast if you're trying to say HOLY FUCK
 
That was sort of a disappointing update. But then again, the first update was also a single map. I'd rather have meaty updates like yesterday, with more than one piece of new information.
 
Badwater Basin looks awesome!
 
That looks great! Can't wait until... ****, exams.

God-freaking-damnit.
 
I've got a pretty good idea of what that 'Permanent Revolution' acheivement is supposed to be...
 
I was thinking it would be to go through an entire round with your gun spinning or something like that, but the picture description says "kill while spun up" so it'll probably be something like... kill while spun up.
 
^ Yeah it sounds like one of thoes basic learning-to-play achievements.
 
New payload map looks nice. Probably gonna be sniper heaven like goldrush though. My poor heavy head :( :p
 
It is a strange feeling for me to be so excited about a game update.

I am enjoying it though. I will play team fortress until the day i die.
 
/me waits several more hours until the next part of the update is revealed...

:dozey:

EDIT: :O Look, The heavy update is exactly 2 months after the Pyro update...
Coincidence...I think not :|
 
It's been two months?
Wow... that went fast D:
 
Wow, that was fast. Summer flew by.

What time are the updates usually posted at?
 
Around about 8:30pm GMT.
 
Notice behind the heavy wielding natascha is a grassy landscape with bunkers, ... at least it looks that way!
 
Hmm.. Natascha looks awesome. I like this gun.
