[quote=TF2 Team]One of the things we've been up to lately is working on new weapons for an upcoming update. And when we iterate on new weapons internally, we tend to make a lot of them. It helps ensure that the weapons we finally ship are as fun and additive to the overall gameplay experience as possible.
But it also means we're usually left with a lot of bad weapons that, for one reason or another, are better left unshipped. So while we keep busy with the latest update, we thought you might get a kick out of some of our absolute worst weapon ideas from past ones.[/quote]
I saw the word weapons, that is all I needed, I can now die a happy man.
Could this be the EoTL update or the moon base one ? Now that's the question.
WELL FUCK ME SIDEWAYS DID THEY JUST CONFIRM WEAPONS
[QUOTE=sethcaron;45008650]Could this be the EoTL update or the moon base one ? Now that's the question.[/QUOTE]
Nah,doubt it,it might be that is not for moonbase update either but who knows.
[quote=TF2 blog]Wait, this isn't a terrible idea at all. Okay, forget that last one.[/quote]
Ooh, that seems interesting.
The B.A.S.E. Jumper confirmed new weapon? I like this.

Congrats Sexy Robot and Square.
Aw yiss.
Sounds like that parachute is going to be a thing. They didn't really say much about it but I imagine it to just lower your gravity to the half or something when you "fall" down so you can strafe through the air. I hope it will also cap your movement speed when it opens, otherwise it could lead to people flying around faster than a full charged BFB scout..
Also the fact that they know the term "facestab" and that they tried to design a weapon working like that must mean that they know there's a pretty common and even more annoying bug in their game for ages now. It kind of irritates me that they didn't mention the slightest hint if they're working on that bug or not but described a "very bad" weapon design which is the same. Or did they say something about this in earlier posts?
hype
Also, I think it'll be fun to counter parachutes with direct hits. Or trying to hit them with the sandman. :v:
The Facestab Knife, also known as the default knife
HYPE TRAIN HAS GONE OFF THE RAILS
[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;45008747]It's nice to see they've reused that Engineer Trailer map, with all the props in it too![/QUOTE]Whoever does the SFM paintover shots for the TF2 blog is something of a master at recycling.
See: The Oculus Rift pic that used the Pyro's reference pose [I]without it looking weird[/I].
This was a really good blog post, holy shit. The writing was just like some of the stuff we would get years ago. Semi-sarcastic and lighthearted without resorting to all-caps and humor that basically screams "please make the thing we said in all caps a meme."
Very excited
[quote=TEAM FORTRESS 2][B]The Facestab Knife[/B]
Sometimes we're pretty confident right off the bat that an idea is terrible. But if we can quickly make a testable version, sometimes we'll playtest it anyway just to make sure. Even a terrible weapon can turn into something interesting with a little iteration.
The Facestab Knife was not one of those. While brainstorming ideas for the Manno-Technology update, one of our resident Spy players asked the question "What if there was a knife that was almost useless from the back but could backstab from the front?" The video below provides the perfect answer to what would (and did) happen.

Amazing
HYPE TRAIN HAS NOW REACHED LUDICROUS SPEED.
[del]Oh I just noticed they say that it's the "Manno-Technology update" in that section.
Interesting, guess it isn't EoTL then, but it could very well be the moon map update[/del]

Pretty sure that's just the update that had the Deus Ex items in it.

-snip late-
So the parachute is confirmed as a new weapon

[QUOTE=Capt. Tin;45009054]The Manno-Technology Update was the Deus Ex update.

Wonder what it would have been from Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I think it might have been Jensen's armblade, although that just one-hits everything as long you have batteries somehow from every direction.
Come to think of it, that is the idea behind said weapon. Maybe it had the downside of eating your cloak up. Which would still be not fun to fight against or use.
Also, we finally get news about weapons. The End of the Line? More like The End of the Drought!
That blogpost image with demoman and pyro is horrendous. Looks last minute, probably was. -but I could not be more happier about how things are turning out, this upcoming update has me full hype.
that rushed paintover :v:
Imagining a dead soldier falling from the sky in a parachute.
That first sentence made me sigh so happily :v:
I can't wait to see what they produce in weapons soon now!
