Iron knuckles would probably be a trade off in health. like it'll do fuckloads of damage, but you'll loose health or something like that :D

cool. we need some decent fuckign heavys :(

[Pooky]

I'm an awesome fucking heavy already :\

Seems like every time I start getting into a class they come out with a fucking achievement pack for it and ruin it cause then everyone's playing it.

Besides, Scout is least played, he should be next.

[Bodzilla]

scouts the least played because the only maps he has a deffinent advantage in is gravel pit.
:/

[MNC]

I don't get it though, why do we need voiceclips? Neither medic or pyro had new voiceclips (Well, medic got the unused drinking beer taunt picz coming up) but this many? Pyro was discovered in some txt file in the GCF.

100% fake, I'm sure, but one would love to imagine...

...and another "would love to imagine" picture.

[MNC]

Yeah, I saw the Spy one before. Too bad most is just a copypasta of the pyro update, but the user created images are awesome.

[Pooky]

tbh, that sounds like exactly how I would want the Spy update to be <_<

[dg]

So it's official.... (http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=1670)

[MNC]

About to read it, but why do they taunt me with the cartoony muzzle flash :gonk:

[n00b1n8R]

Go away, nobody wants to read your ad's, especially when their about things already confirmed to be false (page 1 of this fucking thread). :|

[Bodzilla]

^Ratio!

[Sel]

Awesome.

I recently got TF2, and I have to say it has to be one of the most awesome games Ive played in a while.

[n00b1n8R]

Steam details plox.

[Terin]

1. 35 Heavy-based achievements

3. A new gametype and FIVE MAPS for that gametype
4. A wide-open payload map.

7. AND MAYBE MUCH MUCH MOAR

It. Is. :awesome:. (http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=1738)

[Botolf]

Valvegasm!

[n00b1n8R]

Fuck I'm on band tour next week. :saddowns:

[Bodzilla]

Fuck I'm on band tour next week. :saddowns:
OWND!

[Botolf]

Punching gloves confirmed! :O

[Terin]

Every kill you get with them, you get 5 seconds worth of crits with any weapon. You can continue to kill with them to get more crit-time. Downside? They swing slower.

Also, the names and icons of the 35 were posted, as well.

Here they are (http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/kgb.htm)

[Sel]

Punching gloves confirmed! :O

I still want this to be ported to TF2 as an unlockable. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aJjMOy-Ops)

[Terin]

Next up, Valve's large payload map, Badwater Basin.

http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/badwater.htm

This image is clearly taken ingame.

[Bodzilla]

I'd like something that suits scouts a bit better. however. this looks like a very defensive map :/

[Bastinka]

I Lol'd at the blue spy behind the sentry.

[Pooky]

So wait, how is the Heavy supposed to fire his guns with the gloves on? Or are they going to do something lame like have the gloves magically appear on him when you press 3?

[Sever]

Well, think about it - doesn't every other weapon magically appear when you switch to it... ?

[n00b1n8R]

I think it would either function like an uber charge (that instantly drains) which can then be added to. Seems about as useful as the kritskrieg though. >_>

[n00b1n8R]

Natascha

http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/images/04_natascha.jpg
http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/natascha.htm

Poor Sasha. :(

[Pooky]

I can tell they really put a lot of effort into that... darken the drum and add an ammo belt. gg Valve <_<

[n00b1n8R]

Just looked at the achievement descriptions ;o

http://www.steampowered.com/tf2/heavy/images/AchievementIcons/tf_heavy_kill_taunt.pngShow Trial: Kill an enemy with a taunt.
Why can't the medic have one of these. :(


http://www.steampowered.com/tf2/heavy/images/AchievementIcons/tf_heavy_survive_crocket.pngCrock Block: Survive a direct hit from a critical rocket.
Can an overhealed heavy take a crit rocket or will he have to be ubered?


http://www.steampowered.com/tf2/heavy/images/AchievementIcons/tf_heavy_fire_lots.pngHeavy Industry: Fire $200,000 worth of minigun rounds in a single life.
:lol:


http://www.steampowered.com/tf2/heavy/images/AchievementIcons/tf_heavy_eat_sandwiches.pngKonspicuous Konsumption: Eat 100 sandviches.
lolwut :v:

[thehoodedsmack]

I'm guessing sandwhich eating is a new taunt? And doesn't it cost $200,000 to fire his weapon... for 12 seconds?

[Terin]

Do you really think the minigun in game fires 10000 rounds per minute? You have to fire either 300 or 1000 minigun ammo in a single life. Don't ask me how I got that, I've been explaining it too much.


I can tell they really put a lot of effort into that... darken the drum and add an ammo belt. gg Valve <_<Well... what else would it be? A cartoony minigun is a cartoony minigun.

[Botolf]

I lol'd at the Rasputin achievement.


I can tell they really put a lot of effort into that... darken the drum and add an ammo belt. gg Valve <_<
Gabe: Ok guys, delay the patch, Pooky wants some pegs 'n shit on the new gun.

[Bodzilla]

terin, the achievement is clearly connected to the meet the heavy video. itll just be like 12 seconds of continuous Firing. and thats actually a long time when you think about it.

[Terin]

According to that logic, you'd actually get it in six seconds. Would Valve really make an achievement that easy? My reasoning for 300/1000 bullets is that he says it fires "$200 custom-tooled cartridges". So, you get 300 minigun bullets, because each minigun ammo fires 4 bullets, or 1000, if Valve considers 1 ammo 1 cartridge.

[Pooky]

Ok guys, delay the patch, Pooky wants some pegs 'n shit on the new gun.

Right, and there's no reason they could have put as much effort into it as the flare gun or ubersaw?

It's a minor fucking edit, and an ugly one at that.

[Bodzilla]

well i just dont think theres much you could really do with it Pooky. i mean like what else could they replace it with while still keeping the theme of a big heavy fucking machine gun that doesnt do splash damage :/

[BobtheGreatII]

2 spinning barrels? :v:

[n00b1n8R]

http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/9636/1214884194311mx4.jpg

Something like that? :downs:

[Bodzilla]

but thats a cannon.

remember the heavy doesnt have splash damage, or else he'd be like a slower but stronger soldier/demo man.

[n00b1n8R]

Yes it's a cannon, but it's an example of what they could have done. There's plenty of scope for big machine guns in the tf2 art style if they'd bothered to pull their fingers out of their collective asses.

[Botolf]

Right, and there's no reason they could have put as much effort into it as the flare gun or ubersaw?

It's a minor fucking edit, and an ugly one at that.
Thanks for the negative rep on my joke thar.

With all due respect, lighten up :v:

[Terin]

GRAPHICAL EDITS ARE SRS BUSINESS.

Anyways, new update! The new gametype is the "Arena" mode. It's like Counter-Strike, where you have to kill the other team. It works with small groups of people, something that the other gametypes lack, and has some specially tailored maps. There's a control point in the middle that will unlock after 60 seconds and can be captured, but just like the hostages and bombs in CS, it's only if the other team isn't fully attacking you.

Two new maps were made just for Arena, Timberland, an alpine environment that sticks with the TF2 theme.
http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/images/05_lumberyard_2.jpg
And Ravine, a desert map with emphasis on four choke points.
http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/images/05_ravine_2.jpg
Well, Granary, and Badlands will also be tailored to the new gametype.

And tomorrow, a new video, the last unlockable, and obviously, THE UPDATE WHOO.

[Pooky]

Thanks for the negative rep on my joke thar.

With all due respect, lighten up :v:

With all due respect, your joke was unfunny and stupid.

As for the update, something like this could be interesting, but I have the feeling 1 hit crit kills combined with no respawns are going to make it just irritating for me.


well i just dont think theres much you could really do with it Pooky. i mean like what else could they replace it with while still keeping the theme of a big heavy fucking machine gun that doesnt do splash damage :/

http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/3687/quake3pa8.png

There's plenty of ways you can do a machine gun... and remember it doesn't necessarily have to fit in flawlessly with the original art style. The Blutsauger, Ubersaw and Axtinguisher don't do that at all.

[thehoodedsmack]

A gametype devoted solely to killing the other guys? Sweet. Takes a bit of the strategy out of things, but at least you don't need servers with at least 8 guys in it.

[Botolf]

I approve of TF2halla!


With all due respect, your joke was unfunny and stupid.
Forget flaming idiots and morons, let's all save our negative rep for jokes we don't like! :XD:

Retaliation rep is cruise control for cool :downs:

I'll remember your -1 with great sorrow, I've learned my lesson :(

[Limited]

Wow, cant believe I havent played this game since before the medic update + achievements.

Xbox has really taken over my gaming =\

[Terin]

Finally - Meet the Sandvich (http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/sandvich.htm)

The sandvich will replace the shotgun. For being vunerable for 4 seconds, you heal 120 health. Great if you're defending, or without a medic. I'd use the shotgun with a medic, though, so I could be mobile. Also, the video is hilarious. WATCH IT.

The update will be out within the hour, if Valve will stick to their word.

[thehoodedsmack]

That is hilarious.

[Pooky]

Sandvich idea itself is funny... video was pretty lame :\

[Botolf]

I lol'd at the Sandvich video.

But you're an unapologetic killjoy, mister.

:saddowns:

[CabooseJr]

The Update is now out!
I already got the 3 new weapons.

[Terin]

Way to farm, farmer.

Nah, just kidding. I refuse to play heavy unless there are only two on my team. I don't want to add to the retarded mass...

[CabooseJr]

Meh, I only got em quickly because I will most likely use the new weapons to my advantage. I can't wait to see the new alpine terrain environments Valve plans to use in their new maps, I was getting sick of the dessert environment.

[Pooky]

I was pleasantly surprised that for once my pessimistic predictions were wrong, and I loved the arena mode. Even despite the odd FUCKING crit rocket death.

I also <3 Sandvich and the KGB... not so sure about the new minigun though. The sounds are nice, but it's still ugly and I haven't gotten much unique use out of it yet.

[Bodzilla]

Whats the deal with this sandwhich.

also the scout it a natural born Comedian.

[Pooky]

Whats the deal with this sandwhich.

It goes in your shotgun slot, you take it out and press primary fire or taunt and it takes about 3 seconds to heal a lot of health.

[CabooseJr]

On Friday, they are gonna have a Free TF2 weekend. I most likely won't play because I am working on editing the particles for TF2.

[Pooky]

I've decided on the new minigun... just like the backburner and ubersaw before it, it's extremely fucking annoying if you're a light class. I don't know what valve has against light classes, but each update seems to have been focused on nerfing light classes in relation to heavy ones. At least it's not quite as overpowered as the backburner or blutsauger were. (unless you're a scout >___<)
