As much as I'd like it to be true, they already have to cram a lot of things into tonights blog post. New Engineer loadout is pushing it.
[QUOTE=Snake31;18993061]They surprised the hell out of us with the spy update, why wouldn't they do it again?[/QUOTE] Because that's the fhacking purpose of the spy. Is an Engie sneaky? No.
[QUOTE=!xHDMicrobe;18996613]Because that's the fhacking purpose of the spy. Is an Engie sneaky? No.[/QUOTE] They will introduce sneaky sentries, nah... I don't think they would have time to tell the rest of the soldier and demo weapons more achievements and then engi update? Seems like impossible to me.
3 way update would be so badass.
[QUOTE=SantanaDVX;18992998]The weapons released so far haven't been aimed specifically at engineer. It's been a sword and a weak rocket launcher. Right now, I'd be more afraid of the default weapons.[/QUOTE] You're an idiot, it fires 80% faster and does 25% more damage, it's not weak at all. It's basically made to kill sentries.
Engineer is obviously making the new weapons.
I think they're going to release soldier and demo, then after a day or two they could release engineer stuff and put a kill counter for engineers vs soldiers AND demos. You just can't update two explosive classes without an engineer update, especially with the Direct Hit.

It's made for soldiers with aim, and pissing off snipers. EDIT: Oh yeah, and minicrits on airborne targets, forgot that bit.

They simply couldn't fit all the content up to Thursday, and releasing it just a couple days after makes no logical sense, it'd be more likely to be a surprise, all at once, or a separate update, which is the only possible option at this point.

The engineer will probably be the one stopping the conflict between the soldier and the demoman. And then somehow the soldier will manage to piss off the demoman anyway and they will go to war. /predicted story [editline]07:14PM[/editline] But yeah. Engineer update u giaz.
I dearly hope that there is no complete engie update, just a buff. But then again, maybe the Halloween update was just a stall for a 3-way update. My head hurts from all the speculation.
