Major Update Speculation Thread V4: Tonight's the Night For QR Codes - Games

Welp, it's 00:03 GMT and yet nothing happened. Should we wait until it's midnight in Valve's HQ location (Bellevue)?

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;36475119]Wouldn't that just promote W+M1 play?[/QUOTE] Which is why I want an air-blast-central flamethrower.

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;36475119]Wouldn't that just promote W+M1 play?[/QUOTE] Yea, but what if it were to deal less damage to the target.

[QUOTE=Creeper120;36475146]Yea, but what if it were to deal less damage to the target.[/QUOTE] Yea, but what if it were to not exist.

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;36475155]Yea, but what if it were to not exist.[/QUOTE] Then it doesn't get made.

i swear to god if the grordbort scout primary is another two-shot gun... :suicide:

[QUOTE=Creeper120;36475146]Yea, but what if it were to deal less damage to the target.[/QUOTE] It would still be too "simple" to be good with the weapon. Basically, people get mad when they get killed by someone using a weapon which doesn't require them to stand on their head and fire looking through a mirror. The more difficult to use the better to some people. I personally don't care as long as the weapon is balanced. I do however think airblast needs a specialized flamethrower. EDIT: What if rather than a short-range continuous stream of fire, we had a flamethrower that shot bursts/clouds of flame mid-range? Say, 20 or 25 ammo of 200 per shot, and the blasts can go through enemies? They only deal consistent damage as they fly through the enemies, after that just after burn. The trouble would be making it different enough from the flare gun. I think being larger and piercing, along with being visually different might do it.

maybe they'll give scout nailgun back even though they kind of gave it to medic...

I'd like to see a new crutch weapon for the engineer or medic, actually. You know, something useful for new players, but effectively becomes useless once you get a handle on the game. Like the razorback. When I see new players trying those classes, it seems like they have a bit harder of a time than would be fun. It might get discouraging. Maybe. I'd been playing for a long time, it's hard to remember.

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;36475240]Can you get out of here you ridiculously hateful negative nancy[/QUOTE] Just getting a little bit annoyed at that Creeper guy posting terrible things. My name isn't even Nancy, either. :c

[QUOTE=Creeper120;36475111]I'm hoping for a new weapon that has bigger flames and goes farther.[/QUOTE] I'm just brainstorming here: What if when you press and hold M1, it reduces mobility like the Heavy's minigun? It would be kind of like the Brass Beast for the Pyro. Would that be fun to use?

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;36475259]I see you angry about stuff with no constructive criticism 90% of the time.[/QUOTE] I don't even post that often and I don't really remember angry posting that much.

[QUOTE=Inigo Montoya;36475265]I'm just brainstorming here: What if when you press M1, it reduces mobility while active like the Heavy's minigun? It would be kind of like the Brass Beast for the Pyro. Would that be fun to use?[/QUOTE] Yes.

[QUOTE=Mr_Awesome;36475268]I don't even post that often and I don't really remember angry posting that much.[/QUOTE] You started some big fuss over reddit several pages ago Edit: unnecessary fuss.

"Only YOU can prevent flamewars" Anyway, any bets on exactly how many weapons we'll get overall? I suppose we could count all the ones from similar previous events and average them.....

[QUOTE=igotopinions;36475250]You know, something useful for new players, but effectively becomes useless once you get a handle on the game. Like the razorback.[/QUOTE] I still use Razorback after nearly 900 hours of playing. :v:
