Team Fortress 2 thread V2: The Gun Mettle update is LIVE

So Pyro’s identity will remain a mystery :frowning:
Can’t say I wasn’t entertained though. I see that Source Filmmaker is finally going to be released as well.

I honestly hope they keep the Pyro’s gender a mystery…

So, the Pyro is a dude that did too many acids?

p.s. I always just assumed the pyro was a dude, every other character is.

Was kind of short, but I am still satisfied.

[details=Spoiler]I had a feeling they would be going for horror movie style. lol the main site is getting overloaded

And of course, the final tease from Valve in the song lyrics. “Do you believe in magic, in a young girl’s heart?”[/details]

I hope its identity remains a mystery too.

So is this not all of Day 3? Are we getting more weapons/items? Because the gauge isn’t lit up, and there’s probably going to be a secret page link at the bottom between the can and the banana.

Adult Swim promo revealed:

Expect to see TF2 ads on TV :slight_smile:

There’s so many hints to Pyro being a girl.

“I fear no man. But that thing, it scares me”

and right when it cuts to the happy pyro

“Do you believe in magic, In a young girls heart?”

i’ve been so out of the loop when it comes to tf2

i gotta get back to it

I’ve been saying that for so long - but UMvC3 has got my gaming time in a chokehold.

Wow, I can’t believe Meet the Medic was one year ago. Time sure does fly. Can’t wait to see the hilarity that these weapons will bring. That’s the beauty of TF2.

Day 3 acid trip edition!

Update should commence any minute now.

this is indeed a disturbing universe o_O

some have said the update is live right now, but as with all big updates, steam will take its time as the servers get overloaded with everyone returning to tf2

I say shit like that too. Then I play with people from here (people that are really good), get wrecked, and decided I dont want to play anymore.

p.s. My shit is updating right now. Says it will be done in 13 minutes.

edit - I didnt notice any hints about the pyro being a chick. I did notice the Scout called the Pyro “him” though.

Balance changes:

GRU got nerfed? Dang. The point of the self-damage was to build Uber so they could be better pockets. We’ll see how this turns out.

Wonder if the Equalizer split will make the comp community throw a fit. I kind of saw it coming, though.

Quick-Fix change doesn’t make sense. Does this mean if I’m healing a Soldier/Demo and they rocket/stickyjump, I grapple with them? It’s something that’s been suggested in SPUF for a while.

I feel the Pyro should’ve gotten mroe actual weapons, but then again, all Flamer damage got a universal buff.

Can’t wait to play later!

Oh wow, look at all those weapon updates. Sneaky valve. RIP equalizer :frowning:

So basically…choose either powerup (Equalizer), or speedup (The Escape Plan).
Interesting to see how this plays out.

I still remember the +70% spin up time Tomislav had. RIP

I remember when the Minigun had the Brass Beast speed penalties. Rest in Discord

I don’t like the new GRU. Most of it’s just getting used to it, but I want to help Medics build Uber. And I want to build Uber when I’m healing a Heavy on the way to mid.

I expect a hotfix tomorrow, because when thrown, the Sandvich turns into a medium medpack. Kind of funny. (EDIT: Nope this didn’t happen)

Quick-Fix jumping is exactly what it sounds like (tether to your buddy and jump with them when they RJ/SJ), though it feels a bit bugged at the moment, like I sometimes don’t mirror their momentum. It’s really fun on Arena, though, and I may start using it more there.

Whimsyshire Goggles also start hurting my eyes after a while. Pitched-up Demoman laughter always makes me smile, though.

Doomsday is really fun. Haven’t played the other map yet.

The new goggles is some trippy shit

The new sniper weapons remind me of the original No One Lives Forever. Alot.

To anyone who doesn’t have a scorch shot, I have an extra. It can be difficult to get update weapons straight away. No TF2 team, I do not normally carry 3 direct hits in the off chance that I may need them to craft a new Soldier RL :annoy:

So that’s what was behind the mask! :eek:
