The real stats for the Tomislav: +70% faster spinup +Silent spinup -25% slower firing speed [highlight]+900% more tears on SPUF[/highlight] [img]http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/_img/chars/char_22523.jpg[/img] [url=http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1939604]It has already begun.[/url]

Will these be achievement items? Those items look sexy, but due to my luck I won't get them until months later.

NOOOOOO. I won't be on my computer for the next 3 days. No surprises for me :saddowns: [editline]21st June 2011[/editline] I would NEVER expect an update like this. This is AMAZING

Such as earlier, there were stats proving that that newer minigun was simply better than all previous ones. Though the other weapons aren't that bad.

I'm hoping for blueprints.

Sure it does more damage in a straight up shootout, but what if you're being cornered by a guy who pops in and out of cover? Spinup doesn't do jack shit in that situation. No doubt it's going to get nerfed, but only because people only look at numbers and pretend that's all there is to the game.

You can't with the other miniguns.

Looking at the artwork, I wonder what made them go "Fuck it, let's have players crate models that won't be coherent with all our work on the artstyle" and let this happen? I mean it's great don't get me wrong, but surely some of the guys who worked on the artstyle must have been really pissed off to see some of the community that made it into the game?

All the hats do fit in with either the Characters personalities or the TF2 setting though.

The point is that in all situations where the minigun is involved and is dealing damage to something, the tomislav will do better.

I lol'd at Tomislav...(cause its like old balkan name, not russian)...nevertheless, its funny...this is gonna be great update!

[QUOTE=SgtWoodsy;30603672]You can at least get a few shots off before he pops back into cover, maybe even kill him. You can't with the other miniguns.[/QUOTE] Any sane heavy would keep his minigun revved up if his target ducked behind cover, and the spinup time for the minigun is already low enough that it's pretty damn hard to bumrush a heavy that hasn't revved up his minigun. I don't even play heavy. I just think all this preemptive bitching about stats is pretty sad.

Holy shit I'm full of excitement right now.

Horray! Valve is back on track!

[QUOTE=V12US;30603751]I don't even play heavy. I just think all this preemptive bitching about stats is pretty sad.[/QUOTE]In comparison, I play Heavy quite a bit, and all of this "bitching about stats" is quite warranted. If it turns out the Tomislav has a downside like "requires reloading", then sure, you'd be right and it would be Valve's fault for not being more clear. As it stands, the Tomislav is very overpowered compared to the other three miniguns.

[QUOTE=Wormy;30603766]This new minigun looks interesting. Im gonna try to get it.[/QUOTE] I agree. People say it's uncreative? Personally I think a silent minigun is quite a step away from the others. I like.

Play and receive items for crafting, or don't play and hope for a new weapon drop when the update's released? :ohdear:

Sweet. Shame that I'll be going away for a couple of days on Thursday.

Holy crap on a stick. I'm really [i]really[/i] tempted to get a day off from work this friday... :D

I'm still a bit disappointed though. The old weapons had unique stats. The step from the sniper rifle to the Huntsman was huge, and so was the case for items like the sandvich, or the Bonk!. Now it's just the same weapons, witha slightly different model and +x% damage, -y% firing speed. Except for the minigun there's nothing really new.

I wish all the weapons were sidegrades, like the Tomislav, not downgrades or upgrades (like the shotgun)

Oh man, I've been waiting for this for a LONG time.

[QUOTE=CommanderPT;30603884]Sweet. Shame that I'll be going away for a couple of days on Thursday.[/QUOTE] I will be going away for 15 days :crying:

How it comes that I got this week off.. Heck yeah!

I wonder what's in it for the scout
