[QUOTE=FlameCow;23294088]I hope one class gets an assault rifle, TF2 has been needing one for a while, IMO.[/QUOTE] It wouldn't really go with any class I can think of. Assault rifles are well rounded: less than a rifle, more than a pistol in terms of power; cartridges for ammo, fairly decent amount in each one; and a fairly rapid fire. Lighter weight than a minigun, not as damaging. So the heavy wouldn't fulfill his tank purpose. Could be used for the soldier, but it wouldn't seem to fit, given the type of weapons he uses. Possibly replacement for the snipers smg? But really, I just don't see it happening.

Firing range could be limited for a trade off. (Distance shot, you get what I mean, right?)
A WWII style assault rifle would suit the Soldier perfectly, what are you talking about?
Theme =/= gameplay.
We were strictly talking about the theme/aesthetics though. Give me a good reason why giving the Soldier a rapid fire weapon is such a horrible idea anyway.
[QUOTE=FlameCow;23294088]I hope one class gets an assault rifle, TF2 has been needing one for a while, IMO.[/QUOTE] There's a soldier pack with an AK47 with some grenade launcher. It doesn't look so bad. [editline]08:06AM[/editline] The question is: why would I take it over my trusty shotgun or bugle that gives me minicrits?
[QUOTE=Blargtastic;23295321]We were strictly talking about the theme/aesthetics though. Give me a good reason why giving the Soldier a rapid fire weapon is such a horrible idea anyway.[/QUOTE] Only if it's secondary but I doubt it's needed.
I really wish the guy who did the Mad Max pack made a scoped revolver.
I want the demos beta dynamite.

[QUOTE=Phil5991;23297141]We're europeans, it's midnight in the US.[/QUOTE] I suppose they will tell us the winners while there's midnight in Europe.
What time is it in europe atm? It's 3:18 AM US central standard time
[QUOTE=Sir Tristan;23297543]What time is it in europe atm? It's 3:18 AM US central standard time[/QUOTE] 10:28 AM here in France.
And 1:00 PM in Russia. Goddamn time zones.
[QUOTE=CrazyBaconLegs;23293229]Once the polycount pack releases, this is probably all going down the shitter.[/QUOTE] Yeah, same problem here... [url]http://tf2items.com/id/zanpa[/url] (Page 2)
I think people are going to be disappointed when the Polycount pack isn't released tomorrow.
Well, personally i don't care when it's released. I only care about WHAT is released. Son, if only you could know HOW FUCKING MUCH i will be DISAPPOINT if there won't be a suburbian scout.
Stupid time zones. Now I'll have to wait another day.
I really want the Arabian Sniper, if only for the bad ass headwrap. Would be cool if they did everything as normal, but released hats from every pack.
I hope this one will win for the Heavy : [B][url]http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=73076[/url][/B]
Yeah, with a custom taunt where he says "ALMOST AS GOOD AS PAPA"
[QUOTE=Kowalski;23298481]I hope this one will win for the Heavy : [B][url]http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=73076[/url][/B][/QUOTE] My favorite too.
Why is everyone in love with the tankbuster pack? It looks very well made, but awfully boring and way too sharply textured for TF2.
[QUOTE=Anonymuzz;23298628]Why is everyone in love with the tankbuster pack? It looks very well made, but awfully boring and way too sharply textured for TF2.[/QUOTE] Agreed. Looks like it's made for a sci-fi game or something, not TF2. With different textures perhaps it can work.
I do like the sentry replacement some guy made, and the legacy spy pack is sweet. Didn't check out any other classes items but i'm sure their just as good.
[QUOTE=Blargtastic;23294896]A WWII style assault rifle would suit the Soldier perfectly, what are you talking about?[/QUOTE] I'd rather have a rifle like the Arbiter in this contest than a rapid-firing weapon, actually. It would be awesome, and rifles are more of a soldier weapon than a rocket launcher or a shotgun IMO.

I know this type of weapon is higly controversial, but why can't Soldier get an assault rifle as a secondary weapon? Just give it a decent tradeoff. Hell, Engineer's Wrangler is basically 50 times better than the pistol, why can't Soldier get a secondary assault rifle? [img]http://s53.radikal.ru/i140/1006/15/3f4463209754.jpg[/img]
I would love to have that Ak-47
