[QUOTE=Oizen;43485041]I'll never understand why they gave the strongest primary, the strongest secondary, and the best melee to a single class.[/QUOTE] i want to see this minigun, medigun and knife class
[QUOTE=cpubasic13;43479651]It is going to be a crate full of keys, Bill's, Earbuds, and Steam Wallet money. Or an exceedingly rare item![/QUOTE] Fishcake
[QUOTE=Cyanidious;43484422]-snip-[/QUOTE] pretty much every single non building related thing you listed applies to other classes as well. and if we're comparing "brain dead" players, a braindead demo or soldier would probably be as bad as a brain dead engie because if they really are brain dead as you describe them, they wouldn't be able to hit anything bar from a point blank blast (which would also damage them) and they probably wouldn't understand how to explosive jump at all. Also, I think you guys are forgetting the gunslinger exists
[QUOTE=Wolf532;43478800]lmao you call that a nerf It's still insanely overpowered and fucking stupid. I don't want new weapons if Valve thinks that shit is balanced. I want the old short circuit back. The one that required, you know, SKILL to use correctly.[/QUOTE] wait, short circuit is imba now? What was imba about it?

Patch just kicked in few hours ago. January 10, 2014 Patch [quote]Added Mann Co. Strongbox Series #81 to the drop list Fixed crashing problems on pl_upward and arena_watchtower, as well as some custom maps. Strange Wranglers now track wrangled kills properly.[/quote]
late confirmed
[QUOTE=Oizen;43484474]Which is exactly why Soldier and Demo are the go to Pub class. Sticky spam weilds insane results in pubs, and rocket launchers take no aim at all. Shoot at the floor2win[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/stvNm93.png[/IMG]
Mann Co. Strongbox Series #81 more hats, even steel hats? jeeey
[QUOTE=Snowshoe;43494547][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/stvNm93.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] To be honest, I despise Soldiers and Demomen. And then I realised I usually main light classes, so no bloody wonder.
generally if you are a spy main you are going to hate a more heavier class that can shut you down very quickly (soldier, pyro, demo, etc.)
As a spy I only really despise puff'n'sting pyros. I don't even mind the W+M1 ones. Puff'n'sting is more annoying than W+M1. Soldiers and demoman got splash damage, but they are easily fooled.

Soldiers and demoman got splash damage, but they are easily fooled.[/QUOTE] If you keep dying to puff & sting it means you need to work on your positioning and awareness of what the enemy's likely to be doing. So long as you keep a distance of a few metres from pyros you should be fine - stab your target and backpedal + revolver to death. Or go for the Pyro first, of course
[QUOTE=Snowshoe;43494547][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/stvNm93.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] I dont know what this proves. Im tired of using the term "braindead pub", but it also means the dead ringer curbstomps them. People on pub servers are so unaware of shit its pathetic. I never really have issues with them, they're just annoying. I should really start playing actual servers. If only I knew of any

[quote]It's because vanilla Demoman is braindead retarded. It's also because when you get good at Demoman, you become the most overpowered thing on planet earth if you know what your doing, especially if you know how to juggle with pipebombs and/or stickies.[/quote] I hope you all realize I was talking about the Demoman's playstyle and was nowhere agreeing with Oizen. Let me word this better so that people do not get confused. Demoman's playstyle can be braindead retarded or very strategic. He probably also has one of the highest skill caps in the game (besides demoknights). I play Spy, Demoman, and Pyro as my top three, but I am nowhere suggesting that Demoman is overpowered. Besides Hell-met making a joke, you could also argue about what the best primary weapon is.
Seeing people cry about the short circuit has made me reinstall TF2. I am going to have a lot of fun with this.
[QUOTE=mabi;43480372]Also the strange festive wrangler still doesn't count anything so...[/QUOTE] Oh for fuc- I was looking forward to actually using the S.F.Wrangler after I uncrated it and was hopeful that they had actually fixed it, but [I]no[/I]. They've probably broken something else now.

[QUOTE=Bapaul;43484359]Wonder when valve is going to add the christmas cosmetics to the store[/QUOTE] On summer. They did the same last year. Correct me if i'm wrong
Maybe the new crate will contain the ability to paint weapons [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/IMG]
[QUOTE=Zadrave;43515720]Maybe the new crate will contain the ability to paint weapons [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure that only a couple of weapons even have the ability to be painted set up.
[QUOTE=Zadrave;43515720]Maybe the new crate will contain the ability to paint weapons [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] No. Just no.
[QUOTE=Zadrave;43515720]Maybe the new crate will contain the ability to paint weapons [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Yeah it's pretty clear Valve has been hinting at the ability to paint weapons. I'm guessing we'll see it in the upcoming big update. If it does happen I hope weapons have weapon specific paints and Valve only does a few colors so we don't have things like hot pink weapons.
[QUOTE=Ghostly2334;43479270]"- Fixed an exploit in Mann vs. Machine related to purchasing upgrades " No more having $4000 to spend on first wave! :v: EDIT: [B]Seems this one wasn't fixed. [/B][/QUOTE] How do you get $4000 on the first wave?
[QUOTE=Zadrave;43515720]Maybe the new crate will contain the ability to paint weapons [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] If they are really going to do that, I hope they'll act like weapon sheens since those don't work in dx8 which I really apreaciate. [editline]13th January 2014[/editline] Or like gold weapons which look so dark and brown-ish that you can't really see a big difference
for valve to make all weapons paintable they would have to go back and create new paint masks and edit the original textures for the weapons so the paint worked correctly (not covering the entire texture and not washed out) they would also have to create normal maps for any weapon that used a phong mask in the basemap alpha channel. a lot more work than batch VMT editing like they did with sheens, which you could do pretty quickly. i don't see it happening.
also any weapon made paintable would lose Crit Glow, which would means weapons like the Rocket Launcher wouldn't be able to be paintable, as Crit Glow is incredibly important on it. Unless they figured out a way to do crit glow without conflicting, but that's additional work for them.
Paintable weapons have been something valve has given consideration for a long ass time. They threw out the idea of making the neon annihilator paintable during it's dev/finished stages Iv'e got a vid here of it in pink. hah [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yc-f21L2EI[/media]
this would be awesome.
