Final Major Update Speculation V37 - This is the last MUS thread. Speculate in General Chat. - Games

I feel like the heavy is mediocre on his own, but backed by a medic can be really tough to kill for anyone who's not a demoman or sniper. Is that really such a bad position to be in though?

If you're a Heavy on your own, you to have play as passive and cautious as humanly possible if you want to do well. In the meantime, you're not going to be contributing a whole lot to your team.

[QUOTE=jnkns;52348497][url]http://bazaar.tf/thread/7745[/url] Second post; not sure if it's still in effect but I'm not going to try it out[/QUOTE] while that's mostly true, keep in mind he was like 15 at that time

What if heavy also had the soldier backpacks?

[QUOTE=Cupkek;52349979]What if heavy also had the soldier backpacks?[/QUOTE] I wouldn't be surprised if one of the heavy weapons that comes with his update is some sort backpack/support item that's a minigun replacement and supports the fat scout playstyle.

She could have recorded the lines prior to the start of the strike.

I think I've heard tale of Dennis Bateman being on strike before, and I know Robin Atkin Downes is unionized somewhere.

Anyone could be the contractor instead of Pauling. Hell, I'd just as soon have Captain Dickhead from Sleepycabin be the contractor. "YOU HAVE COM-PLETE-ED THIS VE-RY SPE-CI-FIC TASK I HAVE BE-QUEATHED UP-ON YOU. NOW I MUST GO WATCH FUN-NY VI-DE-OS OF SKUNKS CRASH-ING JET SKIS IN-TO AN OR-PHAN-AGE FOR PET ROCKS."

[QUOTE=BarJarHinks;52350687]Saxton Hale as contractor, just imagine "HELLO CHUMPS, CEO OF MANN CO. HERE! IF I DIDN'T ALREADY, I'VE GOT A JOB FOR YOU LOSERS!"[/QUOTE] Honestly saxton hale as the new contractor would be a very refreshing thing. I'd kill for this.

Simmons uses for Cave Johnson and J Jonah Jamieson but Australian and maybe a little deeper/more forceful than those voices.

[QUOTE=Slurg;52350822]Ghost of Tom Jones as a contractor[/QUOTE] ghost of adam west as a contractor

what if gilbert gottfried was the contractor :thinking:

What about poppy Joe as a contractor..... Oh wait I forgot, he's dead.... And is a monkey

i still remember that they used to release item updates, seems strange to never do it again

If you wanna buff No-medic-Heavy you gotta nerf Medic-Heavy, giving Heavy Banners would be by far the most gamebreaking and stalemate creating change ever made to the game. I still believe they should just leave Heavy as he is, and create a sub-class set of weapons that makes the Heavy effective without a medic, but doesnt heavily benefit from having one.

At least revert the L&W nerf, rework his irrelevant miniguns, and buff the Dalokohs Bar. That's all I can ask for, at the very least.

So I did a little bit of research on the TF2 voice actors to see who may or may not be in the upcoming update/SFM due to the strike: Gary Schwartz (Heavy, Demo) - Serves on the counsel of the Seattle branch of the SAG-AFTRA according to his [URL="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0777229/bio"]IMDB bio[/URL] Grant Goodeve (Engie) - Can't find anything about him being in the SAG-AFTRA Nathan Vetterlein (Scout) - Can't find anything about him being in the SAG-AFTRA, he already said on his Twitch stream that he recorded new voice lines for the SFM Robin Atkin Downes (Medic) - He appears to be in the SAG-AFTRA [URL="http://www.lacasting.com/resume/resumeprint.asp?rs=1&crypt=diagnimephhohdjjcljpdiklhjmbjangjjbgokmgcllpaggi"]based on this casting site[/URL]. Dennis Bateman (Spy, Pyro) - He appears to be in the [URL="http://cni.castingnetworks.com/talent/profile/129813?rs=1&crypt=dicgliaifpggfglfgbdhdidjckabedcnfafdlpcmbijpfegf"]SAG-AFTRA based on this casting site[/URL] Rick May (Solider) - Unknown, you can't really find much on this guy online. John Patrick Lowrie (Sniper) - He's co president of the Seattle SAG-AFTRA according to his [URL="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-patrick-lowrie-b851025/"]LinkedIn profile[/URL] Ellen McLain (Administrator) - Not sure, but probably is since her husband is the co president.
