[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;31244219]Those are very quick seconds. Very quick seconds in which you will not even scratch the sentry because you do pretty much no building damage.
What I'd like is a Tesla Gun for the Engineer. Replaces the shotgun, does a short range burst of electricity that slows down enemies, and stuns enemies for a moment if they are, say, below 20% health. Give it only one or two shots before it must reload but let it hit multiple enemies in the burst. But it would be a very short burst, and about as much damage as a normal shotgun blast at best. That actually really fits the Engineer's style. Keeps him as a support class, but gives him more versatility.[/QUOTE]
Movement being affected is a no-no.
the uber update didn't have a single new animation or particle effect.
Those 2 weapons have both. Valve is at least trying now.

I wonder what the mutton chops look like with the vikings helmet.
Might be late but I did some testing, and the cow mangler does reload slower. They really ought to put that in the stats, also the charge shot time is enough to fire 3 rockets, wich would deal more total damage than the charge shot.
[QUOTE=mastermaul;31240785]They are.
I was turtling as engie on 2fort (imagine that) and I swear every minute this one pyro comes through and spychecks the place where I have my sentry, and he stopped an uber'd demoman with his katana out just by constantly airblasting him back (which was hilarious, because the demo couldn't switch his weapon). Later in the game he homewrecker'd a sapper off my sentry.
Pyros are ultrabros.[/QUOTE]What was his name? I think I might know him.
[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;31244295]What was his name? I think I might know him.[/QUOTE]
I can't remember it was just some random 2fort server.
Really the light shining in the darkness for the Mangler is it has five shots instead of the stock four, the charge shot is nice for Sentry removal if you have competent teammates.
I think they're probably going to nerf it though to be honest, either a longer reload time or down to four shots. Maybe both. Because right now it's not the sidegrade the rest of the rocket launchers are.
I don't care what they do to the fucking stats I just want them to make it less resource intensive, I haven't played since the update but all this shit i'm hearing about FPS drops scares me.

Menu fits.
Putting aside all the balance issues and Soldier hogging everything, the "disintegration death" animations you can randomly get now are fairly amusing.

Scout's neck
Well I still have hope for more stuff to come, the soldier update background had the 2fort rocket... so 2 more to go? Rainbows.
They all look like they're getting their jazz hands on though.
I don't get it.
The Soldier had no reason whatsoever to get laser weapons.
Instead of giving the engineer them, they went and [i]created[/i] a reason for the Soldier. Rockets at the map, a comic...
Really, Valve? I'm pretty disappointed with that choice. You put down a lot of effort just to make sure the Soldier got the weapons, even though they don't fit him a second.
Does the comic refer to space marines as in, 40k space marines?
(I know many people mentioned this before, but I just wanted to put in my two cents)
@anyone who says that the new weapons fuck up the art style
What the fuck are you saying? These weapons just scream retro sci-fi. In fact, the first thing they reminded me of was Fallout, which literally [i]is[/i] 1950's Sci-Fi. These are some of the most fitting weapons I've ever seen in the game.

No. That's stupid.
I'm pretty sure they just mean a marine. In space.
The weapons are based on actual models of weapons you can buy. From a website.
Just so you know.

If I ever become rich and own a mansion, I'm going to hang two of those blunderbusses above my fireplace with the mounted head of a model alien inbetween.
Goddamn, the Black Box/Battalions Backup prices just soared dramatically. I can't get the Black Box as I only have a scrap, and they're asking at least a reclaimed now :suicide:

Oh boy how did we not get that.

Err, no? Just the in-game thing, but redeemed through a voucher.
There are no observable downsides to the new rocket launcher other than reduced ability to take out buildings, what are Valve thinking.
