Fire retardent suit

[gamemaster1996]

I was looking through the textures when i found this:

Not sure if anyone else saw it.

 

[Dr. Spud]

Isn't that a TF2 beta item?

 

[Cornish Gamehen]

It was an unlockable suit that was intended to be released for the spy, but obviously because it would make him almost undetectable, they didn't release it.

 

[The Political Gamer]

Struck the gOLD mother-load right there.

 

[Penguin]

It keeps the spy so cOLD that he can't ever burn.

 

[grazr]

It takes a bOLD spy to wear one of these.

 

[Penguin]

Yeah because it replaces the revolver. A spy without a revolver is a dead spy.

 

[jpr]

OLD

edit: a

 

[Cornish Gamehen]

Alright, I get the point. I've been tOLD.

Edit: Boooooo.

It's a beta weapon, you're wrong anyway. We've known about this for months.

 

[The Gentlemanne]

the suit is on its 5th beta right now...don't know if it has been totally scrapped

 

[Tinker]

Stupid idea, like the Razorback. Specific anti-class counters seem so silly.

yet we see tons of people use the Razorback.

The razorback is redundant because it only works once (in addition to the embassador nullifying any need to backstab a zoomed in sniper). Presumably, this suit is always in effect, as a moderately avid spy player i can see this being an unlock i would seriously consider if the enemy team had a lot of pyro's and i was using the deadringer.

A pyro can ruin your day easily as spy, it can take several minutes to infultrate a base undetected, only for a spammy pyro to waste that time. The sniper doesn't really venture far from his own spawn doors. The pro's and con's are hardly the same.

The sapper.

 

[A Boojum Snark]

it can take several minutes to infultrate a base undetected

To be perfectly honest, several minutes is an eternity in TF2. If one can't quickly slip in and there is trouble doing so, then playing another class would be more useful.

I think the suit is a dumb idea because pyros are supposed to be the anti-spy.

 

[MangyCarface]

At this point in the metagame anything is counterspy

 

[Dr. ROCKZO]

Is it cBELATED in here or is i-

Who the hell would give their Revolver up for this anyway? I get half my kills from it, if not more, why hide from a Pyro when you can kill him with range? Stick to "Sprinting Gloves" Valve. The Heavy needs love.

 

[grazr]

There's killing pyro's then there's doing your class's job.

 

[Tinker]

I realize now I should've said "this is retardent".
