Engie OP

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

Got the regenning cloak watch from finally getting enough Spy achievements. Has made playing that class FAR MORE enjoyable for me with all the shit that Valve added with class updates.

Being able to slowly sneak around and pick and choose targets is so satisfying.

The last class update was 3 and a half years ago.

You shouldn't be bothering about "picking' targets. When you play enough spy, you already know who you're going to kill, you already know all of the places to recharge cloak and where to uncloak, and what you're going to do after stabbing somebody. There's still plenty of luck and stupid deaths, but they matter less when you aren't stopping to crouch in a corner and recharge cloak. If you're having fun, sure. But there are better options.

new weapons including a ghostbusters medic device and what looks to be the most annoying rocket lawnchair yet

and a new movie

 

[The Artful Dodger]

Are these items all MvM exclusively.

Some of them must be cause they'd be crazy broken in pubs. (Not that that ever stops Valve from putting them in)

 

[fallengorn]

Don't think they're new items (maybe the Medic are?) but sounds like the Rocket upgrade is just something to sink money into.

New update actually makes me want to play again.

 

[Liha]

I look forward, the movie is quite good.

No MvM servers with the new maps yet. And the ones that do have it are passworded/full.

 

[KarmaCow]

I wonder if this will actually make medics more viable in MvM. A shield is okay but I don't know if I'd take it over just straight up dps that can hide behind a wall.

 

[The Artful Dodger]

I was just in it. There were some available.

The hunt is on...

 

[little miss gogo]

too bad that I think gold is totally hideous. :'(

 

[DJ Crimson]

Zeke is about to get his freak on.

 

[SteveWinwood]

its not gold

 

[jgminto]

so can you actually use the gold weapons in regular tf2?

 

[Shadow Hog]

so can you actually use the gold weapons in regular tf2?

Can't imagine why not. They're just the regular stock weapons, only shinier.

Spoiler

Also the pan turns people into gold statues upon a kill, a la the Golden Wrench

 

[ZekeThePlumber]

Man, this new Baby Face Blaster update... DO NOT LIKE. It's essentially a scattergun with 2 less clip size that lets you run at almost twice normal speed. Oh and you only lose some boost when you double jump. In the hands of any scout that can actually aim, this is ridiculous.

 

[SteveWinwood]

they're not gold

 

[The Artful Dodger]

its not gold

they're not gold

...What are you trying to say? STOP SPEAKING IN RIDDLES.

 

[jgminto]

That amputator change sounds pretty cool. Now it's not just a better bonesaw.

Also I think the gold ambassador looks the best.

 

[little miss gogo]

its not gold

idc what it is, NERD, still fugly

 

[The Artful Dodger]

Baby Face Blaster is so much fun now.

 

[Proven]

Dammit Steve, taking my job...

Also, Medic best class in all modes confirmed.

 

[CountAntonius]

I need me a baby face blaster.

 

[Collete]

The hunt is on...

I still want that gold wrench since I don't have a strange festive wrench anyways.
And that pan...I'm coming to pan you, Fatty.

 

[little miss gogo]

and I was convinced scouts couldn't possibly be more annoying. wow way to prove me wrong valve thx.

 

[fallengorn]

Dorking around for over an hour, I still don't know I'm having trouble connecting only during Mann Up. Barf.

 

[Woobie]

gg to those who played in the gaf 6s game
was fun

 

[The Artful Dodger]

I love the baby faced blaster now.

 

[Cloudius12]

gg to those who played in the gaf 6s game
was fun

And I missed it. God damn.

Hopefully you guys are doing it again soon.

 

[The Artful Dodger]

gg to those who played in the gaf 6s game

I'm super rusty with scoot, I can't aim that well.

Also now that I was playing with baby-faced blaster, I keep forgetting to jump lol

 

[jgminto]

So is the the diamondback the only really useless weapon now?

 

[Collete]

gg to those who played in the gaf 6s game
was fun

Yeah it was good and a good challenge, and first time of me and talking and playing for real. Was confusing.

 

[Sianos]

gg to those who played in the gaf 6s game
was fun

Yeah, I had a lot of fun. We should pug together more often!

I went Black Box roamer and picked up thirteen medpicks off of Collete. :3

 

[ExMachina]

GAF 6v6 pug?! Awww, and I missed it... hope this becomes a regular thing because I'd love to play.

 

[little miss gogo]

is that something to really pride yourself on

 

[Blizzard]

6v6 is too competitive for me. =( Even in the casual games I can't keep up with you people.

 

[CountAntonius]

GAF 6v6 pug?! Awww, and I missed it... hope this becomes a regular thing because I'd love to play.

Same. Count me in.

 

[little miss gogo]

first time angering a heavy to the point he switched teams just to kill me. not getting pocketed really upsets some people. this game is hilarious.

 

[The Artful Dodger]

It was fun, I'd like to do the 6s again and get the hang of things.

 

[The Artful Dodger]

It begins...

 

[Sianos]

is that something to really pride yourself on

She was being protected by Woobie and Zeke, so yeah.

Plus, bombing in with the Black Box is 33% more difficult so I should feel 133% better about myself!

 

[little miss gogo]

[The Artful Dodger]

Lol, the blaster is not broken. It's amazing.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

It wasn't broken the first time and they still changed it. Though it took them what, 6 months to change the Pomson when that was totally broken?
