I wanted to make a representation of what I wanted to see in the Heavy's second update, and I gave it a shot by making some mock-ups in GMod and utilizing my [sp]extremely limited[/sp] GIMP skills. I'm really not very proud of how it turned out (It looks terrible :P) but I figured it would be a waste to leave the files rotting on my hard drive. So, here you go.
[b]Disclaimer:[/b] I'm not taking credit for these ideas, they're either already confirmed or based on ideas I've seen. These are just what I want.

Needs more work.
Only the GRU's picture was decent.
Too small.
Not enough detail.
Keep it up though, there's good stuff in there.
Yeah, it wasn't so much about the fake itself as much as it was the weapon concepts. I just didn't want to post "LOL GUYS CHECK OUT MY IDEARS THEY ARE SO GUD" without any effort.
Really good work but the screen shots are a big too wide imo
For the weapons, I like the armors knockback removal and increased toughness, but I feel it doesn't have a negative, because as a heavy I rarely pull out my shotgun, and I only use my sandvich if there's a lack of medics.

Really? Because I pretty much depend on my sandvich. Medics tend to hate me for some reason.
[b]Edited:[/b] Do you think it could work if it made flames more damaging?
I like the basic ideas, but they definitely need some balancing.
The Bofors seems kind of overpowered. Instant explosions, from any distance, that are larger than the Soldier's? He'd utterly dominate medium and long range combat at that point, and combined with the Iron Kurtain he wouldn't really need to worry about hurting himself if something gets in close.
Either that, or reduced damage would make it useless for anything but pelting Scouts and annoying Snipers.
I think it basically comes down to hitscan explosions being a bad idea.
(For the GRU, the 50% reduction is very bad. It's enough to just have the health dropoff.)
the iron curtain needs a bit of a nerf like 10% more fire damage.

The shots would theoretically do about 40 damage per hit, firing at about one shot every .9 seconds. It's also not completely accurate, but much more accurate than the miniguns.

Hivemind
Meh. Miniguns only. Other two are fine.
well shit never mind

Yeah, that's why we were all so let down by Natascha. This was leaked shortly after the pyro update, iirc.

Make it so you can't jump as high. This would make sense as you can't be knocked back.
the original heavy unlock was ridiculously overpowered, [url]http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Ludmila[/url]
[QUOTE=zeebiedeebie;19291513](For the GRU, the 50% reduction is very bad. It's enough to just have the health dropoff.)[/QUOTE]
It's 50% punch reduction, which is fair.
[QUOTE=Mamok Zalku;19291691]Make it so you can't jump as high. This would make sense as you can't be knocked back.[/QUOTE]
That could work. It would also change heavy tactics a bit, as the jump-spin wouldn't work as well.

Actually, I think the portable Bofors was somebody making an unlock idea and just being bored enough to draw/model it.
Why does the heavy have ipods on his chest?
[QUOTE=NanoSquid;19291718]That could work. It would also change heavy tactics a bit, as the jump-spin wouldn't work as well.[/QUOTE]
Exactly my point, thanks.
Also the "Gloves Of Running Urgently" should have more than a 25% increase. 25% is like what? The speed of a soldier? That really won't work as all the other classes are now immensely more fast then him then before. The Soldier and the Demo-man recently got something that increases there speed ten-fold, so for the heavy he'd need to go way faster than 25%more.

Oh. I thought for sure it was leaked concept art. :geno:

I have a rocket launcher so it's kinda repetitive. Does not fit the heavy.

The demoman has grenade launchers. Soldier therefore is repetitive.
It's different from the RLs in that it's hit-scan. It's the heavy's same "Room Clearing" role, except for more outdoors situations, and at range. He can't take on multiple enemies near him anymore, but he can do it more effectively, say, from the top of the badlands spires.
Stand a good distance from door
Fire into enclosed space
Rack up kills.

Nice way to clear up Badlands 1/5
