Soldier/Demo High Five - Games

Not sure if late or not but, I was poking around the model viewer and found that both the soldier and the demo have taunt unique to the two of them, its a little high five taunt. It doesn't appear to be finished yet though. I don't remember seeing it in there earlier, and I haven't seen anything about it. Since its shared exclusively between the two classes, along with the pain train, perhaps valve is adding a little taunt for them. Or perhaps they're pals again after the war. Far too lazy to actually post a clip of it, but its not hard to find and is labeled "taunt_hifiveSuccess"

Been there since the War Update. No one knows what it's for.

oh its this thread again

I'm almost sure this isn't a leftover from the WAR Update, as it was added in a later patch, same with the Hat Over Heart sounds or however they were named. We can only wait until Engie Update, maybe it will shed some light on that.

I think it was added at the same time as this [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vBUldzYI9E[/media]

That first bottle taunt rocks.

slowpoke is me

[QUOTE=Flip pl;22239733]No, this was included in the WAR Update, just scrapped from final use.[/QUOTE] Just like the High Five taunt was

[QUOTE=iLife_Aftermath;22239790]Just like the High Five taunt was[/QUOTE] I don't think so. Besides that would make no sense. High five is a sign of friendship, and Robin stated in one of the interviews that they planned the war right from the beginning of making the update.

[QUOTE=Flip pl;22239907]Besides that would make no sense.

If the Demo and Soldier kills had tied - or, more likely, came within a small amount of each other - they would've both won and gotten the item.

I'd like to see more "dual" taunts, actually. And have them actually be in the game. -As an Engineer a spamming spy comes in and saps all your stuff. A homewrecker Pyro comes in, kills the spy, and helps you remove all the sappers. Pyro and Engie high five. Also, Medic and Heavy high five is self explanatory.

Sounds like this would be a counter taunt, ex. you high five a rocket, it gets shot back. Just an idea.

I'd like to see taunts that have a non-lethal effect on a single class, and when that single class is around.. for example... let's make this a FAN taunt (example), when the scout uses it near a heavy.. it initiates a fight similar to that in meet the scout... or the spy fight with the sniper, (wait the spy then kills him... ok)

[QUOTE=LOL PWND;22254854]What if someone intercepts the fight?[/QUOTE] I think that's why they didn't add those. If you make them invulnerable by doing it, then you can just spam it repeatedly to lock that player. If you don't, the taunt is going to be some considerable time where both of you are completely vulnerable. You could flank around a Heavy as a Scout, wait until he pushes, then taunt lock him and fuck over the rush. Even if you die, the Heavy's gun isn't spinning, he's probably a little stunned at the sudden stop and 3rd person, and now your entire team is pelting him full of rockets, grenades, arrows, needles and bullets.

I think it would make a nice Pain Train taunt. Then they could high five each other.

[QUOTE=not ryan;22255635]I think it would make a nice Pain Train taunt. Then they could high five each other.[/QUOTE] They should add a "HIGHFIVE!... Aw"-esque taunt for when there's no nearby person taunting.
