Yay an equalizer nerf as well. Any news on what the new weapons do?

Next on the agenda: Strongbad mask and Strongbad's KGBs for buying his games.

A wrestler's mask would look *fantastic* on the Heavy, IMO.

On a related note, word from Valve why the Engineer can't use the pistol. (Hint: It's technical.)

Not until after the Engineer update. Each class has arm models that hold the various weapons and are animated for the various weapon poses. As we've done each update, we've changed the classes to have their arms separate from their weapon models so they can have various replaceable view models. This requires some amount of re-animation work.

We've done that work for every class except the Engineer. His changes will be in the Engy pack. Once the Engineer update is out, he'll be able to use weapon replacements and we'll change the item data on Max's gun to work with him as well.
