TF2 Xmas Update Discussion

CodeCat's Photo CodeCat 13 Dec 2009

It seems that the announcer's name is Helen. Which is interesting, because the voice actress is called Ellen McLain.

Nice. 8|

Hmmm... I wonder what dose with the new Craft system? Is kind of fusion or something special?

Can't wait end of week. :duh:

Looks like it could be something along the lines of the Fallout 3 system. They'd just better include item swapping else people are going to start getting ANGRY quickly.

Btw, this is why you keep EVERYTHING: Backpacky!

What's the bet flaregun + bow + backburner (or similar combo) = fire arrows consistently?

I'm still wondering if it's an Engineer update as well.

I'm tempted to think it is - if it is, doesn't that make for all nine classes sorted out? Would be Valve's idea of a good Xmas present. Plus, with the two most explosive classes getting updates, surely the Engie will need to be updated in order to give him a little edge over those classes that are best at destroying his buildings?

I reckon it'll all just be done and dusted off here, once and for all (all but anyways)

I'm liking the sound of the Eyelander and the Chargin Targe. Although it seems a bit silly, having almost medieval style combat in a game with rocket launchers and flamethrowers. But I guess TF2 was always quite silly :P

Of coures, Demoman's real name is Mr.Tavish Degroot. :P
Or Degroot Tavish.

The stakes are getting higher. It'll be a wonder what the Eyelander and Chargin' Targe will be like in actual combat, but then again, Ion has a point about TF2 being a bit silly. Now we just need to see what the Soldier was given.

Oh that was risky, it's going to be a complete sod to get the demoman to hand over the Sticky Bomb launcher, it's just too valuable a weapon. This melee set had better be a good set, else the demo is going to get owned - I'd have probably suggested that the primary weapon be traded for the shield...

Unless the shield actually blocks bullets and stuff. :P

The Chargin' Targe, Slot 2 Secondary Weapon
Pros:
Charge attack on alt-fire.
A melee attack (melee, not specifically sword) from a mid range charge will guarantee a mini-crit.
A melee attack (melee, not specifically sword) from a long range charge will guarantee a full crit.
+50% fire damage resistance.
+65% explosive damage resistance.
Cons:
Replaces Sticky Launcher


Also, I wonder what that Sco- Res- thingy is ? D:

Destiny's Photo Destiny 15 Dec 2009

No I'm not saying fire/explosive/damage resistance, I'm meaning the shield blocks bullets entirely and you suffer zero damage. :P

What I'm disappointed about is that it's not really demo-ish anymore. Now he's not demoman anymore, they turned him into medievalman.

Numbers's Photo Numbers 15 Dec 2009

I personally enjoy these new weapons as they applied something new and fresh and ultimately unexpected. He is still the demo man. Wait for the next weapon unlock I'm 75% positive it's explosive related and 25% certain it's booze

What I'm disappointed about is that the sword and shield would have been a perfect match for the solly's Viking Helmet :P
