[TF2] Heavy update

[Ronin Storm]

Looks like the Heavy is next up for an update, available from 19th August (source: Eurogamer).

There's also a website from Valve to give a few more details.

...Valve calls this "the largest" update made to the game since launch...

This worries me!

 

[Nanor]

This worries me!

How come?

 

[BiG D]

Yeah, why?

And also, you don't ever play anyway! Even if they were calling it "the shittiest update yet!" you wouldn't really have cause for concern.

Who touched SASHA?


HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY.
It's an update for me. MEEEEE I tell you.

 

[BiG D]

I have a feeling it will be a good time to play medic

 

[Iron_fist]

so bob is going to help me get the big pharma medic achievement then

 

[Traxata]

I will crush little man

 

[Wol]

I see bob... i see the heavy hehe.

Although if only i was a bit balder..... win!

 

[DeZmond]

This makes me happy because everyone will now be going heavy to get the acheivements, allowing me to burn them as a pyro which is my natural favourite class

Bacon anyone?

 

[Iron_fist]

oooh shiny!

[waterproofbob]

Not that impressed so far. Looking at the achivements nothing that bad in there. Also I have not too much of problem killing ppl at the mo anyway so not all that interested in a heavy gun that slows ppl down. Useful against the odd scout but not that impressed I must admit.

Come on rocket launching heavy gun.

 

[BiG D]

Actually, I think Natascha is a rather brilliant counter to the heavy's speed disadvantage.

 

[Nanor]

Arena mode, you say?

 

[elDiablo]

Arena mode, you say?

Nope, CS mode, I say.

 

[Nanor]

Nope, CS mode, I say.

Howso?

 

[Wol]

Howso?

I dunno, but id refer back to D's comment on the previous page

Meet the sandvich. hehe. omnomnomnom.

 

[Nanor]

It has been released!

 

[Ronin Storm]

I'm patching the Purple server now.

I've gotta say, I'm quite impressed with this update. The new gametype is actually quite nice, and while the heavy population has increased, it's not to the point where everyone chooses heavy.
