Team Fortress 2 - The Official Discussion Thread

Nobody said they didn't play to have fun D:
Also, Sniper update better have that damn jar of piss. Actually, I dont care either way.

Haha, I'm just hoping they update the 360 version. It seems like Valve is taking forever with it. First we don't have to pay, now we do, now the Orange Box doesn't have enough memory! I love TF2 and it's a shame that they didn't make it a seperate game from the Orange Box, then they could probably update it.

Anyone else play it for the 360?

Not here, but on the Steampowered forums nearly daily you have people saying, "No, I don't play competitively; I play to have FUN." As if the two were mutually exclusive.

 

[Mr Escalator]

Yeah, that's one of the main things I dislike about the steam forums. That and the scout section only talking about the damn sandman. Still.

What are your guys take on the possibility of the jar of piss actually being an unlockable?

 

[Sir_Lu]

I've been playing more recently since the scout updates. Still very bad though, but hopefully I'll be good enough to be able to play some PUGs.

Sandman is stupid regardless.

It would be awesome if the jar of piss was an unlockable for sniper (considering I play sniper a lot), but what would it do....

 

[matty]

Allow for your charges to fill quicker (2x sounds fair) or something. It would last like 10-15 secs or something. Maybe coffee sounds like a better option than pissing in a jar lol
The draw back would be that its like eating a sandwich or Bonk! drink in that it takes time away from battle and there would be a cool down. It'd be nice for the beginning of rounds though say on Gravelpit where most competitive teams split their demo and sniper from the rest of the team

If you read the box at the bottom of the poster, it looks like a conc grenade in terms of effect.

Sandman more like free-kill bat.


It made me stop wanting to play scout. ;-;

And now it's fairly useless (and banned in competitive play), so no harm done there.

Sniper Update will soon be upon us.

[matty]

omg how baller. killing people with a bow and arrow rofl

 

[Sunday]

Yay it's another sandman.

bleh.

EDIT:

The Huntsman doesn't have any stun-like capability. Killing an enemy who's standing in front of a wall will result in their ragdoll being pinned to the wall.

Sorry for the confusion, we're just having a bit too much fun pinning our co-worker's bodies to the walls in compromising positions.

Robin.

Oh thank god.

 

[Mr Escalator]

I can't believe you thought it was stun like. I personally thought it was clear about the whole pin thing.

Anyway, I hope this is the first unlockable. I would much rather grind by using my Bow-and-arrow than work for it by having dumb sniper fights with the rifle. This is assuming the new way to get items isnt implemented for the update.

Amazing.

 

[SgtWoodsy]

A pleasant surprise - both HG/SS and TF2 information on the same day.

While I can see the positives of this, I'm probably going to stick with the Sniper Rifle, depending on how they weigh up next to each other.

 

[matty]

Ok Gladiatorial Payload is probably one of the best ideas Valve has had in a long time lol. i am SO pumped for this patch

The shield is take it or leave it though.... I wanted a fucking boomerang

 

[Mr Escalator]

The shield seems kind of worthless TBH. It makes you slower, and all the spy has to do is switch weapons and shoot you a couple of times. I dunno, we'll see!

for anyone that hasn't seen it

 

[makiri]

Haha under clearance items there's a "Crab Walking Kit"

 

[Sunday]

I can't believe you thought it was stun like. I personally thought it was clear about the whole pin thing.

Before valve made the blog post all we had was "You will shoot them and they will stick to walls and they will die". Note how it is phrased so that the later is a consequence of the first? (you shoot things, and hence they stick to walls. You are stuck to a wall, hence you die) That made it look pretty much like a second sandman imo.

In any case, gotta love Valve for pulling that kind of stunt on us. Looking forward to the dual update! (even if the release date is now 2 days later >.>)

 

[SgtWoodsy]

A birthday present for chaos, perhaps.

I'm a fan of the Cloak and Dagger. Anything that rewards patience as a Spy is fine by me.

MEET THE SPY VIDEO HAS BEEN "LEAKED"

This is the one I saw, but it seems the videos are being deleted a bunch, so just search youtube for Meet The Spy.

Spoilers
vvv
​

Edit: Okay, pause at 1:58 and the sniper is wearing a new hat. Similarly, the Heavy's hat is show in a couple instances.

http://www.sourceop.com/hell-met/football.jpg

That's a screen cap of it. Also, when the soldier grabs the gun, the sniper rifle looks a little weird. Make what you want of that. During the sniper theme there are several cool things. When he turns to the spy, you see a weird outline of the figure he was sniping at (1:50 exactly). Same scene you can see several jars of piss. Also, when he grabs the kukri, the box it was resting on was labeled as having the Razorback in it.

This really seems like an intentional weekend release. Sneaky Valve.

 

[makiri]

Looks like that doctor..

...

..Got a taste of his own medicine

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

 

[Firestorm]

Amazing, amazing video. I want a throwable sapper :(

Also, that is awesome zerowing.
