I agree with the engineer getting shortchanged in terms of new weapons…
I really like the new soldier weapon. The charge is kind of unimpressive but I really like having a 5 clip rocket launcher.
I thought this was a found exploit of the new rocket launcher.

But still, I feel it has strong troll potential.
Now this is looking to be something quite fun…

Those are pretty annoying but it is nice having a few of them so that I can keep track of how many kills they all have.
Someone was giving a strange weapon for like an uber weapon so I snagged myself a strange grenade launcher, strange sticky launcher and strange shotgun.
IMO, strange weapons are pretty damn stupid. I have absolutely no interest in owning one of them. The “rank” means dog shit to me. But Valve knows that the typical [S]sucker[/S] TF2er will shell the dough to have one, so I can’t really complain much about them being around if they are bringing in money.
At least they fixed the fillrate problem with the mangler. The thing would have been worse troll potential in that video if they left the fps dropping to 2 for everyone else, even ONE shot was a killer to performance.
wow that’s a good trade
It would be better if the strange weapon rank up notification things went away after a few seconds instead of having to hit k to remove it.
Oh, and did anyone else notice how drops and stuff aren’t shown in the chat anymore? That’s pretty annoying IMO.
Has anyone ever seen actual players using the Mantreads effectively? Shit, I tried using them the other day and realized the risks are too great for the little reward. Stomping fools is a cool addition but if you miss you’re basically screwed. And you will miss a lot. Why didn’t they decrease fall damage instead so that these damn things could actually be a good alternative to the Gunboats? I hope it gets a buff in the future.
well with today’s update, the meet the medic music is now one of the main menu music tracks
its awesome
So very slowly, I’ve been leveling up in this game. It’s so much better now that I know the flow of the game and can actually aim (sort of) and kill people more consistently now. I go on the newb friendly servers and do really well.
I wish I had a scout hat though, I’m getting tired of the Ghastly Gibbus, Proof of Purchase and Ellis’ Hat. Is the only way of getting hats by crafting them? If so, 3 refined metals is a lot of work.
Oh my God, a TF2 thread.
I love this game to death and it’s probably the only game I’m actually very, very, very, very good at.
Only classes I’m good at is like, solly and spy, but man. When I go to town, I go to town.
I’m really just starting to get into replays, so right now, this is the only one I got up. (trying to upload another with a good rack of kills soon.)

Thinking about it now, I didn’t even have to cloak.
My friends team needed a filler for a scrim and I didn’t want to play because I haven’t played in weeks. Feels bad, mang.
ok checking the steam forums, i just found out that valve just dropped a bunch of new promo items which isn’t really a surprise until you notice that the theme may be related to quake-con which i think is starting up tomorrow
not sure how to get these but i bet info will appear soon:
- “The Tamrielic Relic” for Heavy - Viking Helmet from SKYRIM
- “The Anger” for Sniper - Hood from BRINK
- “Pip-Boy” for Engie - PDA from FALLOUT (not sure if its for New Vegas’ latest DLC or what)
- “The Wingstick” for Engie - item from RAGE
and here’s the big one
- “THE ORIGINAL” for Soldier - RL from QUAKE 1 :eek:
Oh freaking wow…I can’t wait for that RL.
Seriously! Hype train has begun.
I hope it’s one shot but with redic damage.
quick update
apparently the new promos are being given out according to a news post at the official TF2 site
- “The Tamrielic Relic” - pre-order SKYRIM on steam
- “The Anger” - own BRINK on steam
- “Pip-Boy” - own FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS on steam (reports are that DLCs are not required, just the game itself)
- “The Wingstick” - pre-order RAGE on steam
- “THE ORIGINAL” - own Quake 4 on steam (Quake 4?! Really? Not Quake 1?o_O)
also they say “Don’t forget to come back tomorrow for more great deals and special offers.”
edit: steam forums say the items will be craftable eventually. so i guess that’s cool.
The Quake Rocket Launcher is the same for the original RL, except for the fact that it shoots from the center of the screen. According to the wiki.
I wouldn’t buy Quake 4 again for it though, considering the fact that no one play it and I could get so much more out of Quake Live.
:edit:
No Rocket Launcher for those who bought the retail version of Quake 4 Q_Q
Why would you use the original then? I don’t know why anyone would take it when you won’t be able to shoot out of the side with cover.
