I'm still bothered about them giving the [B]demo[/B] a shotgun... I mean, they've got some other things wrong on purpose in the past, and generally it was hinting at new gameplay mechanics.
I don't know if I want this to be the case... Hitscan sounds out of place in terms of demo weapons. Nah, I don't think they'd do that.
But again this is from the guy who managed to make the demo a melee class, so who knows what to expect?
Also here's my map for those who are confused.

Death Pit isnt labeled because you guys got it.

Makes sense since she is working at Valve on an "unannounced project".[/QUOTE]
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I swear i've read somewhere she's going to be writing Borderlands 2.

It's for filming purposes?
I swear to god
drop the Demoman shotgun theory
it was for the video
they did it so it looked cool
[b]DEMOMAN IS NOT GETTING A SHOTGUN[/B]
spy never got a launchable sapper.
Engineer is not going to be dual weilding guns.
In Meet the Engineer, Engineer used 3 sentries. IT WAS TO LOOK COOL.

I don't think they're giving him a shotgun.

>Demoman

Ohohooohoohoo, that slaps me on the knee.
Demo has a lot of melee-oriented weapons, sure, but he's far from a Melee class.

and then shotgun is given to demo with frag rounds and you're proven wrong

At least we finally get a break from the Demoknight weapons, even if we get a shotgun.

He has the most melee weapons of any class, which is more than several classes combined. He has only one new gl and one new sl. It's strongly implied Valve wants him melee, I think.

In that case, I want my SMG Scout! :v:

I would love that. I would love to eat my own words.
I just wouldn't get too optimstic for it.

Most of his melee's are either reskins or community contributed (or both.... *cough* Scottish Handshake *cough*) and melee weapons are the easiest to make since they don't require new animations

I can kind of confirm that, she and some of the other Valve writers were all eating lunch outside and chatting a few days ago. I heard them discussing TF2 and writing techniques.
I really hope the music actually PLAYS in the game mode.

Demoman is my favorite example of how the game has shifted from what it was 2007 to what it was now
He used to be a black scottish cyclops demolitions
and then the fucking war update added swords
so now everything modders do is either
A.) PIRATES
B.) Medieval weapons
and so that's all that gets added, fucking pirate hats or melee weapons

Shotgun for Demoman would just end up being another Liberty Launcher. Gimp yourself by taking away your far more powerful Sticky Launcher in exchange for it being hitscan and you not having to aim with projectiles.

nooooooo. it wouldn't a crutch weapon.
i do agree about the gimping though, you got me there.
What I [I]really[/I] want is a shotgun for the Medic.
unless maybe everyone starts out with shotguns and then later you buy your weapons?

I think it's probably that balancing replacements for the GL and SL is damn near impossible, so they don't try.
[QUOTE=Ignoritus;37238783]Shotgun for Demoman would just end up being another Liberty Launcher. Gimp yourself by taking away your far more powerful Sticky Launcher in exchange for it being hitscan and you not having to aim with projectiles.[/QUOTE]
Or it could replace the grenade launcher.

Unf. Dream job!
I have a feeling Death Pit will have Alamo references in it. Possibly seen somewhere in the map.
Rate me clocks if you must.
I noticed some birdy poop on the crate next to the open one, which is filled with... I guess hay? I imagine today or tomorrow they will [I]officially[/I] reveal the Archimedes plush and in game item. Hopefully this time it won't by Pyroland only.
Let's just post loadouts from Randomizer.
Ninja'd. I guess.

He has seven different, non-reskin melee weapons, two shields and a pair of boots (plus reskin.) One grenade launcher, one sticky launcher.
Compared to say Sniper, or Spy, which have only 4. But Spy probably doesn't count anyway, because he IS a melee class.
