Lots of cool stuff for those that play TF2.

[Clipse]

The Backburner sounds pretty sweet. and fuck yes @ CTF_Turbine getting chosen for the Map Pack thingy.

[Myst]

i can't believe how much playtime they're squeezing out of me. this game fucking owns.

p.s. meet the sniper was great too.

Looks like the shotgun taunt does damage.. Must test that out later today to see if thats true.

Wow, going to be playing TF2 all day tomorrow on my day off, lol...

I wanna be able to use the flare gun and back burner at the same time, but I think you can only pick one achievement item at a time. Though medic's weapons were all reaplacements to the needle gun, so it could be possible. Can't wait for the update. Turbine on Frrrrrrunkis will be nice.

I'm predicting mass stalemates, worse than there already is, while everyone is on pyro. It's going to suck for spys and engies are going to have constant spy check. Better have an army of uber demos to take out those sg's.

hm? you can have all the HQ medic weapons at the same time

yeah the taunt you do with your shotgun out: the pyro mymics Ken/Ryu and makes a small fire ball, but it doesnt travel anywhere. I guess it can do damage.

what the fuck are you even talking about?

the three medic weapons were (in order) blutzslauger, kritzkrieg, and uber saw. you get each after every 12 achievements, and via the gear swap menu can pick one of the two options for every slot.

blutzslauger/needlegun

kritzkrieg/medigun

bonesaw/ubersaw

my set up is blutz, medigun, ubersaw.

the only issue with this game imo is that you cant swap out one weapon for it's alternate on the fly.

I have orange box and these changes intrigue me...but I've never done TF2. I presume it doesn't do any sort of matchmaking or anything to take me gently on my first time?

the game's honestly so easy to play it doesn't need anything like that

[Norellicus]

Hehe ok. I'm no stranger to FPS, just know they each have their quirks, and this one has all the class differences too. I'll give it a whirl tonight methinks :D

I do believe Valve is offering a free weekend of TF2 for anyone that wants to try it.

I'm so incredibly excited for this update. I know right off the bat I'm going to swap my shotty and ax for their replacements, but I'm not too sure if I'll be using the Backburner over my beefed up flamethrower. That compressed air blast sounds like it'll be a game changer.

I can only imagine what the other class updates are going to look like. So far they've beefed the hell out of medic and pyro. This game just keeps getting better and better :D

[Ramor]

can't fucking wait for the heavy update, but i'm especially excited for a new axe...i love axing people :D perhaps my favorite way to kill someone

[Daimen-G]

Compressed airing a crit rocket back at a soldier is going to fucking kick so much god damned ass.

And being a 225 HP Pyro is going to fucking kick so much god damned ass.

And lighting a sniper on fire from across the map with a flaregun is going to fucking kick so much god damned ass.

...And axtingushing a heavy in the face is going to fucking kick so much god damned ass.

This update rules.

Edit: You only have to unlock 25 of the 35 achievements to get it all.

fuckin LOL

[Thulius]

Excited for the update, but I am NOT looking forward to the following week or two where every team on every server is going to have a bunch of pyros. It won't be nearly as bad as an overabundance of medics, but yikes.
