Team Fortress 2 - The Official Discussion Thread

I just spent about an hour on a random pub server running the harvest event map and got both masks. I also had quite a bit of fun in the process, although I'm glad that it only took me an hour to get the masks, as the map does get a bit stale after awhile.
 
Okay, I'm not sure if anyone would be interested or how many people are watching this page anymore (it's so cumbersome navigating to IR now) but there's been a teaser update released today.

http://www.teamfortress.com/war/administrator/

It's a mini-comic about a friendship between the Blue Solider and the Red Demoman. It states that at the end, nothing ends a friendship like a competition...

...Which means we could very well be looking at the Demoman AND Solider update!
 
i was kinda surprised to see that the soldier/spy update was way back in may. seems like it was alot more recent.
still, gotta hand it to valve for drawing me back in every time i start to lose interest in tf2. now just give us a release date for episode 3 ;(

Episode 3 can wait - I still have Hl1, Opposing Force, Blue Shift, HL2, Episode 1 and Episode 2 to deal with. Hopefully Episode 3 will come out right after I've finished negotiating with those. Also they need a sequal to Portal - while the game was brilliant, it was perhaps a tad short :(
 
THE WAR UPDATE
The Demoman and solider are getting their own, standard update and 3 weapons, and an added bonus has been thrown in! A special 4th weapon will be rewarded to whoever kills more Demoman as a Solider or more Soliders as a Demoman. I'm giddy just thinking about what we'll get (and I'm excited since this is the first class update I've been playing the game for).

Oh, and new taunt kills. Can't wait for that!

It will come out after Black Mesa has been released, I'm betting.

man dont bring up black mesa, i was looking forward to finally playing it this year :(

on a side note FUCK demomen step it up. i've parted a good 49 soldiers from their various giblets and been killed by soldiers anywhere between 30 and 40, so i'd say things are going fairly well on my end. considering i haven't played since the halloween update, anyway. this is pretty close though!

i'm sure the majority of people who play tf2 seriously are rooting for soldier, but i'm convinced my 2fort sticky spamming brothers can pull it out. let's do this.

I am a loser.
 
Got this game recently and it's really fun. Anyone on here need someone to add and play with? I'd Like to build up my friend roster as this game is new to me and playing with people I don't know gets boring after a while. My steam ID is GangsterPikachu. Please add me if you want

I'd like to see demo's winning, but I don't see it happening. Soldiers pulled ahead be another hundred thousand kills in the last update :(

Nevermind what I said about the bar, I had an achievement behind it.

Actually, yeah, I like the suggestions, except for the mobility one. Just seems stupid.

How is Demo not winning I don't know. It has to be the number of people that play the classes, because Demo is a lot, lot easier to use in pubs. Sticky traps and people walking into your stickies say hello?
 
I'm not sure exactly what to make of these first two weapons... The Demoman is my most played class and I like these weapons and don't like them at the same time. The eyelander seems pretty cool, although I'm not sure if I'll enjoy the health deduction. The Charge and Barge seems like they've made the demo a completely different class. now he seems like a bulkier scout with a grenade launcher. Whether that's bad or not, I don't know. I like the fact the demo's more mobile now and doesn't have to burn up a third of his health to get somewhere, but I'll miss my sticky traps.

Hey, but If I can cut a class in half with a sword taunt kill I'll be happy.
 
Oh man, I gotta say that I'm not entirely sold on this. I like the sword but the shield seems way to class changing like tyke said. Guess we'll have to wait and see

Wonder what the Soldier is getting. There were pics on the Steam forums of a sketch on one of the blackboards of a new rocket launcher that looked like the one from HL2: EP1 where it was lazer guided.... maybe....

Projectiles that travel in a straight line say hello.

Funny thing is, most people in pubs can't aim those "straight-line" projectiles. Either they shoot it directly at you or their aim is way off.

Its a lot easier to put stickies around a door or backpedal and put stickies in front of you. Most pubbers fall for the latter one.

Sword is WTF
