Umm, guys, I have a question - Are the classes going to be fixed for every single MvM game or will we be able to choose them? Were there any sound manifests for Spy, Sniper and Pyro?
Well there are both Spy and Pyro in A Fate Worse Than Chess.
[QUOTE=JurajIsNotPirat;37227247]Well there are both Spy and Pyro in A Fate Worse Than Chess.[/QUOTE] So was Sniper.
I want the trailer music.
I can't imagine them not allowing pyro and sniper. Spy might be a little inadequate, but they'll probably let you play as him.

[QUOTE=Schmoes;37227265]So was Sniper.[/QUOTE] Yeah I just don't know the equivalent of 'both' for three people so I left him out.
[QUOTE=Razi The Red;37227291]I thought Spies might be able to sap the bots.[/QUOTE] Considering it doesn't take him a second to throw down a sapper, and the fact that he doesn't need to drop his disguise to do so, this might be a bit too strong.

[QUOTE=Pocket Medic;37227308]Considering it doesn't take him a second to throw down a sapper, and the fact that he doesn't need to drop his disguise to do so, this might be a bit too strong.[/QUOTE] Maybe for the bots they need to be backstabbed to open up a compartment in the back, THEN they can get sapped?
[QUOTE=Kegan;37227329]Maybe for the bots they need to be backstabbed to open up a compartment in the back, THEN they can get sapped?[/QUOTE] With the sheer number of bots that are implied to be attacking at once, that'd make the spy horrible.
If they don't let us play as those, I can see why. Sniper might not be really efficient with the sniper rifle - it's pretty slow for such a horde. Unless Spy will be able to disguise as a robot (which is unlikely, but who knows) and sapper would do something against robots he wouldn't be of much use. It'd be hard for him to backstab a robot (electrocution?) or use the revolver against them - it's too weak. Pyro could be efficient, but we're not sure if the fire works well against the Tobors' metal (it doesn't look any different though) - but then again he can take out a sentry gun with it...
I wonder if the bots will have less health than your average enemy? Because I imagine cutting through everything that isn't a boss with my minigun like a moderately sharp knife through somewhat resiliant butter, but if every robot has the same amount of health as the class they represent, then holy shit this is gonna get clusterfucky real fast. [sp]Not that that wouldn't be fun, though.[/sp]
bots will probably move in squads/groups. its more likely spies will get special weapons for mvm exclusively.
[QUOTE=BoxinShrimp;37227339]With the sheer number of bots that are implied to be attacking at once, that'd make the spy horrible.[/QUOTE] Well what if the bots have a slight delay in reacting to the spy when he undisguises? Or maybe the spy can buy perks that allow him to stay disguised for a few extra seconds after backstabbing?
[QUOTE=Metaru;37227356]bots will probably move in squads/groups. its more likely spies will get special weapons for mvm exclusively.[/QUOTE] Just had a brain blast. The upgrade system. It'll add attributes to weapons and whatnot that are exclusive to MvM. This way, you can have, say, a Sapper that lets out an EMP without making a whole new item that takes up a backpack slot while being restricted to one and only one game mode.
Sniper actually seems more useful then spy considering he has the SMG or jarate.
I've just woken up and you can easily imagine my reaction. Since the OP isn't updated, I'll ask you guys: have any secret pages been discovered yet?
But what if the spy uses the Red tape recorder to sap the bots?

So do you guys the think the upgrade system will only last the game (buy an upgrade, lose it after the round ends) or keep the stats forever?
[QUOTE=Whyt546;37227608]So do you guys the think the upgrade system will only last the game (buy an upgrade, lose it after the round ends) or keep the stats forever?[/QUOTE] Lose after the round ends. It would ruin the purpose of the mode if you start immediately with overpowered guns.
