Probably already said, but isn't it more likely it will be a mechanical dog? I'd see it as chained, and it could cover a circular area around the area it was placed in.
I guess this seems pretty cool, if it is real.
But then 2 days later some furry will put a giant vagina or a dick or something on it.
yea the dogs as the new sentry guns definitely will make engineer's gameplay alot more interesting and fun (not being sarcastic)
maybe make the engineer control the dogs in 3rd person view like scout in bonk effect but you can't see yourself (the engineer) at this point
I think this would be pretty fun. I rarely ever play serious games anymore because of how many updates valve made. I think this is a good way for them to add more fun to the game. I could even imagine them adding unlock weapons and hats for the dogs too, that'd be cool. Anyway, as it seems the original page that has the actual pictures of the dogs seems to be fake, yet the post valve made on the official blog seems that valve basically told the creator of the fake page that they are actually considering making this a true update and make an actual 10th class.
[QUOTE=dark soul;17441514]If this were to come true I would quit playing tf2.
I'm sure Valve isn't dumb enough to implement something like this. There would be so many implications if this were to be added.[/QUOTE]
yes heaven forbid Valve actually CHANGES the game!!!
(I'm quite sure people said that weapons/hats/halos would make them quite before this)
Plus it's Valve. They're CONSTANTLY fixing shit and balance is added even more every update.

Lol.
Also it'll be hard as fuck to aim at it, since it's head won't stick out, so snipers will have another annoyance to deal with.
Valve is pulling a Jarate on us
Ugh. Yes its a joke, but so was jarate. fuuuu-
dear valve if you ever ever add a fucking dog in tf2 I quit forever, I will create a boycott group
age group that wants guard dog: 13-16
age group that doesnt want guard dog: 18+
age group that should be playing an M rated game 17+ (In the US)
so more than half of the community that wants guard dog, shouldnt even be playing tf2
When you open my boxes you see the truth that guard dog sucks, the more the boxes, the more guard dog sucks
This seems like a fitting addition.
As long as it has 75 health.
Looks O.K. There is a chance that this could win or this could fail.
doggles for the hat unlock.

Please be a joke, I doubt anyone wants more squeakers in tf2, things like this attract them like moths to a light bulb.
I would be willing to just pass this off as a joke if it was not for that fact that Jarate started out like this.
This would be pretty sweet as a gamemode, though.
Dogs? In my intelligence room? It's more likely than you think.
You guys are barking up the wrong tree.

True? Maybe, but there is no supporting fact.
Although it has a 17+ rating, you have to think about what age group they are marketing this game towards. 13-16 year olds.
A restriction doesn't stop the restricted from a product, take cigarettes in the 1950's and R-rated movies today for example.
I think Valve knows what they are doing, and if their target audience is pleased, the product is perfect.

Notice that the RED sniper's got a BLU icon? Plus the screenshot quality looks like crap, I'm pretty sure this is some sort of hoax.
0_o. What is this?

The texts look wrong, the edges are sharp as hell, Bad image quality, ugly white-to-black gradiant.
P. obiv.
Plus Valve doesn't put text into the image and yea, one of their photos link to that picture.

Remember when people who actually sent a letter to the address posted on the FaN's update page got a response?
Well, i hope whoever made the guard dog update has the kindness to post whatever he gets in the mail.

I hope that this does [b]NOT[/b] go the way of Jarate. The idea is stupid and overpowered, and would be difficult to overbalance.
[list]It's proportions/size/etc. are radically different than other classes. Snipers will have to watch much lower to be able to get headshots on the Guard Dog, which is bad because you're going to have to watch normal head level, crouch level, and now the ground, in order to protect yourself or support your allies.
[*]How the fuck are you supposed to backstab the Dog? It's not got the same type of back as a human, you're basically trying to stab a crouching class' head.
[*]You're talking about a class that, so far, seems to be only the best of a few classes and a few special abilities.
[list]He's probably going to be faster than a Medic, but not as fast as a Scout. That'd be fine for a new class, but:
[*]It sounds like he has damage comparable to other DPS-type classes. Add this together with the above point and it's unbalanced already, even if you do drop his health way down.
[*]The Guard Dog also has two very unique abilities, one of which is useful and easily griefable, the other of which is ridiculously overpowered. I'm alright with the grabbing and transferring health and ammo about, although there should be some limitations. Only grabbing one item at a time would be the first, obvious one. A recharge timer would be good, or a slowdown during transferring. Items should also have a respawn time in the range of intel. If it's not picked up within that time limit, it respawns in the standard location.
[*]What the fuck is with the tracking ability? It's overpowered in the extreme. It may be only as accurate as tracking the intel, but now you're able to do it on any single player at just about any time. This is going to make spying that much more difficult, because all of a sudden, now you have to watch for yet another type of pyro, basically. And it not being removed on a class change? Even more bullshit.[/list]
[*]I wouldn't normally have a problem with furries/bestiality, but this idea is just too much in either of those regards.[/list]
All in all, a stupid, overpowered class idea that I hope Valve is not seriously considering without such major revamping that it's not the same thing in the least.
