Nice! Gonna have to start playing TF2 again

Jakl · Feb 17, 2009

lol The Sandman

You hit the ball with the bat and you are able to stun the enemies... and the longer the distance , the longer it stuns...

IMBA!?!?!

CDdude55 · Feb 17, 2009

Its going to be awesome.

DaJMasta · Feb 17, 2009

Can't wait till all the classes have their unlockables. A quality game.

I can't wait, I've just started playing TF2 again and I forgot just how much fun it is! Been practicing a lot with the scout too to prepare for the update.

Go Valve! :rockout:

EDIT: Does anyone know why there's 6 days here, which would indicate 6 updates... Surely there's only gonna be 3 to replace his current weapons.

Yes, each day will unveil a new weapon(for the Scout) or map.

They did the same with the heavy http://steamgames.com/tf2/heavy/

J-Man · Feb 18, 2009

I'm glad they've focused on the Scout this time. It's definitely the least played class. I'll check out Scout when it's officially out but The Sandman would piss me off.

ktr · Feb 18, 2009

TF2 = the game that keeps on giving...

It's still crazy that there is still 5 more classes to go, another 15 unlockables!

MilkyWay · Feb 18, 2009

ktr = ultimate TF2 fan

need to check this out i joined up when they did that TF2 for £10 deal

a111087 · Feb 18, 2009

on early videos, you can see different weapons (like dynamite for Demomen) and then after release I saw the video where a guy was saying that they decided to remove a lot of weapons because of consoles
so, think about it. it's like WOW, where they keep large community by stretching content

Nah, I am no ultimate fan. Lately I have been playin bf1942 more than tf2 :rolleyes:

Whilhelm · Feb 18, 2009

Another reason why Valve remains the best developer around :rockout:

AphexDreamer · Feb 18, 2009

I have a feeling they are going to add a screen effect like when the boomer vomits on you in L4D and you can't see anything. I think there going to give a weapon that does something like that. Maybe like a tranquilizer gun that makes the enemies vision blurry so you can run up behind them and kill them. I called it!

ShadowFold · Feb 18, 2009

The scattergun is gonna be replaced by a rubber ball shotgun. It will slow people down and bounce around while not doing a lot of damage.

I think Valve is gonna bring the nail gun back...it was seen with the scout on trailer#2 of TF2.

You have a link of the trailer?

I didn't see that scout weapon, but I did notice for the first time the Dynamite the Demo throughs and the Hypodermic needle the medic has which they obviously didn't bring back so then maybe they won't the others as well.

Yup, that it trailer#2... :pimp:

csendesmark · Feb 18, 2009

My favorite game ^^

CDdude55 · Feb 18, 2009

Well, the Medic already has a nail gun really. Unless the nail gun pins people to walls for a certain amount of time or something.

Cant wait for the 30 scouts per map when the update is out.

(always happens)
