why do I have a feeling the Heavy is going to get something similar to the Pyro's update here...

I doubt it. It'll probably be stop a rocket with a punch.

I was thinking that you cause a soldier to kill himself by blocking his rocket.

That would actually be quite cool.

Soooo. I hear the shotgun unlock is going to be a sandwich.error11

begs the question of what it would actually do, ie would it blind people, cause them to slip, etc.

Heavy Update = Fresh Meat for spys. Can't wait for all those easy backstabs, maybe I'll try to break my current record. Of coarse, I guess if they see someone running around disguised as a pyro... they will probably shoot regardless. Darn... I hate updates.Swiftstrike5

That is true, however something else this means is that if a spy is running around backstabbing everyone, I, and other team-minded players like me, will switch from Medic (still havent gotten all my achievements and there will be heavies all over the place) to the Pyro. Then you will have to worry about a fully decked out Pyro with a backburner and an axtinguisher burning you up.

Updated for Thursday. New map called Badwater Basin. It's a Payload map focusing on more open spaces and less chokepoints. Unlike Gold Rush, where the track is split into three separate stages, Badwater Basin uses a single large stage with several checkpoints.

Spies are much more effective. Snipers still have to charge up, but a spy can just run down a line of heavies, no problem.

Um, dude...don't you know what a headshot is?

Um... Headshots don't 1 hit heavies unless it's fully charged. Spy can kill more heavies then a sniper in less time b/c he has to charge. 1v1, yeah the sniper is more effective, but if there's a large group of heavies, the spy is more effective.

I wish they would just releash all the weapons for all of the classes..Im curious, I want to know what they'll will give the Spy and Sniper.Jamiemydearx3

Engineer is even more of a mystery for me.

I can imagine a ton of things for the engineer. For instance, a sentry robot that you control remotely! Or a sentry gun that's more powerful but one that you have to 'get inside' and control yourself (like a stationary machine gun).

I wonder if they will bring about the Feign Death from TFC for Spies?

A self controlled machine gun would be amazing but I doubt it would ever happen.

I agree. All of the current new weapons are just the old weapons with stat modifiers. A portable sentry would be ace (as well as an ammogun to replace the shotgun), but they would significantly change the way the engineer plays - and that's not in line with any of the existing upgrades.

Still, it would make the engineer more viable as an offensive cIass. They can be pretty damn boring when you're attacking.

Minigun that slows... sounds interesting. Reduced damage doesn't seem like it would do much except make the heavy less likely to kill someone at a range (but that's already low). Swiftstrike5

I primarily play heavy, and I always duo with a medic friend. Although we obviously set out to kill as many people as possible and generally cause as much carnage as we can, we see our role as being the guys who take down sentries. That's what we do. A 25% damage cut has me cringing. Once I'm right up to the SG, a 25% cut will be meaningless, but even with the medic charging first, getting close to a sentry and having time to destroy it can be tough, especially when there's more than one. it all adds up, and that 25% less damage will make SG uber runs less efficient.

The quality of the Natascha just on paper seems quite clear, but for me personally, the Natascha is rarely going to be too useful.

oh, that's clever.

Konspicuous Konsumption:Eat 100 sandviches.

Is the "sandvich" the item replacing the shotgun, or is this simply a joke (and a reference to the "meet the scout" video)???

I assumed we would probably be getting a new taunt that has the heavy eating a sandwich. I don't really see a sandwich being a shotgun replacement.

Still, I suppose it's possible...

:lol: Wow, I can be stupid at times. I never even considered that eating a "sandvich" could be a taunt. Seems like a pointless achievement if that's the case.

That's why I thought it might be a new weapon because it would be too easy if it was taunt.

Or it could make you temporarily stronger but you would move slower.

Show Trial:Kill an enemy with a taunt.

I wonder what the new taunt is or is it an old taunt that now does damage.mracoon

But how would it work? Would he fire a bullet from his fingers or would you just have to stand close to him.

Probably the ladder, where you physically have to be touching the other character.

Those achievements really look like a pain in the a$$ to me.wackys

most of them seem easy enough as long as you have a medic, though the one titled Party Loyalty seems to be impossible to get.

Todays new info should be up by now. I wonder what the delay is.mracoon

Everybody guessed what it is so now they have to change it.

Yeah, its getting later in the work day over in Seattle. Not sure why they haven't posted it yet.

They just updated the page, it now says: 5. COMING MONDAY-ISH

Erk! I hope we don't have to wait much longer.

:lol: The site's been updated. "Coming Monday-ish." I literally laughed out loud at that.

EDIT - Damn it, man, you beat me by seconds!

Good to know I'm not the only person sitting around reloading the page every few seconds!

Valve is just ridiculous. Even when they set a timetable to release news updates, they get delayed,
