no, modern cityscapes away from the dusty climes of badlands shouldn't exist in the TF2 universe.

Unless, you know, the spy could just bum-rush you and backstab you, fire damage be damned.
I had that sort of thing happen to me earlier today.

Not if they're using the spy-cicle!
Which is what makes heavy amazing now.
A spy-cicle spy won't be able to stab you unless he drops down and crouch-stabs as he falls.

why not?
It's not at all away from the spy theme. Actually it's [i]closer[/i] to the spy theme.

Do you mean modern as in after 1960s? I'm no historian, but the map looks fine to me. Its hard to say what the map will end up being like judging from the small dark picture on the triad pack page and the puzzle picture, but what is in those picture doesn't scream post 1960s.
As for being a cityscape I'm fine with that as well. I see it as an opportunity for a greater exploration of the espionage themes within TF2.

is it still gorgeous for someone like me on dx8 and all details/decals turned off via cfg? :rainbows:
I really want the new map to have clues for an upcoming update, like the last 3 maps did, and as testinglol suggested (although didn't confirm)
The new Minigun should release a ring of fire for 6 ammo or so on alt fire, but be unable to spin without firing. Balanced!
[QUOTE=Eriorguez;37097299]The new Minigun should release a ring of fire for 6 ammo or so on alt fire, but be unable to spin without firing. Balanced![/QUOTE]
Then you can just tap primary fire to keep yourself spun up with no ammo cost and without requiring the ring of fire ammo consumption.
Ludmilla had this problem as well back in 2008. There were reasons why it was replaced by Natascha. The power it had when paired with a Medic was not the only issue.

I must say these are fairly disturbing.

Did you just call ChemicalAlia's female class mods disgusting? You're disgusting. Disgustingly rude that is.
Additionally I'm sure the vast majority of TF2 players use the stock hud, including myself.

While it fits TF2 as far as a timeframe is concerned, my main fear is that it is going to be a bit distracting for players.
TF2 battlefields were placed in desolate locations such that player attention remains within the boundaries of the map. Excluding easter eggs, areas beyond the fences are plain and boring so that players don't feel an interest in what is out there. In addition, the enclosed areas aren't as decorated as a city is, as such, they are easily navigated by the self explanatory arrows and signs, with not enough detail to distract from gameplay but just enough detail to make them aesthetically pleasing. An urban landscape is typically not boring beyond map boundaries and certainly has a lot of attention-drawing details, I'm unsure on how I feel on that being in an official tf2 map, but I trust 3dnj's ability to pull that kind of thing off if it is possible.

The only mods I can see in there that're ugly or disgusting are the female Pyro and the black wristbands, all of Alia's work is extremely well made, although the Heavy could do with a remake at some point.
What's wrong with the stock HUD, anyway?
