The Über Update, Day Three

[LeSwordfish]

Cool, the engineer's been given too much crap already. They should stop making shitty engineer weapons and get back to swords for the demoman.

 

[HellJumper]

Is anyone else kind of irked that the new detonator looks very much the same to the flaregun at medium distance? I was hoping for a more distinguishable model >.>

/bias

Oh well-- Perhaps they have fixed the annoying "Weeeeeiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrr" noise when you fire it.

There is no guarantee we're going to be getting Raid/Specialty in this update.

I remember for the longest time we swore Pipeline was going to be in the scout update, but it wasn't ready at the time

I really hope Valve is trolling. Unless they really do release a new game mode or new buildables or something else massive, I don't see how they can back up their claim that this is the biggest, most ambitious update so far. Some new weapons, simple and straight forward (albeit cool) weapons for most of the classes, and Meet the Medic is hardly game-changing.

Also, I assume there are missing stats for the Detonator, otherwise it's literally just a reskinned Flaregun with an Alt-Fire function, i.e. a complete upgrade. I can't tell if it's changed from the Beta one or not.

I don't want to be one of those people who whine about free updates. I'm stoked that Valve is actually releasing some new weapons that aren't gimmicky, ugly, community-made junkpiles I'll never use. It's just that, not only is this the first real update to the game since I got a computer that actually can run TF2 properly (Replay Update doesn't count to me), but Medic is my favorite class and Valve hyped the hell out of it with all the doves and the Saxxys and calling it the "Uber Update".

Uber means Super, damnit, don't just chuck us some new shotguns and boots.

Well, they have a sense of humor about it...

<- most played classes : engineer, pyro.

Valve designed all the weapons. The community weapons were only modelled by the community, but everything else about them is Valve-produced.

tomorrow the ARG starts within meet the medic

I know, but everyone calls them "community" weapons because most of the ideas - as far as I can tell - for their gameplay roles and stats came from TF2 forums as well as the models coming from the contribution site.

What I mean is that I'm glad they're coming out with some nice, solid-looking weapons that don't (for the most part) have any of the gimmicky, overly complicated attributes I see in 99% of unlock ideas that pop up on SPUF.

Also, I apologize if I sounded like I was knocking the creative TF2 fan community. Obviously, I'm on this site, so it's not like I think only Valve should be making new content. It's just that, I mean... come on, the Fists of Steel? Really?

I should hope so. The average SPUF suggestion in terms of weapon stats lies between the stock weapon and the Valve Rocket Launcher. People don't seem to realise that "awesome" for one person usually means "rage quit" for everyone else.

I'm sure a rocket launcher rail-gun hybrid that does 300% more damage, has 200% firing speed would be fun, for "you". But it would not be fun for anyone else on the receiving end.

Of course even Valve make mistakes. The Equaliser and Short Stop to name but a few.

 

[Karnage]

yeah I tend to verbally abuse anyone using the Shortstop

 

[gamemaster1996]

It is a very good pack, although i think the Pyro deserved more

Also I still have no idea why i read these updates the day after.

Edit: Which timezone is atleast 16 hours later?

 

[DaBeatzProject]

I find these best unlocks they given us so far, what is so wrong with them?

 

[Trotim]

why is a scout pistol with -60% clip size, +15% damage a bad idea
your homework for today

 

[Wilson]
