    Well, he makes the guns, so it does make sense. I mean, they made a model for the Scout's mom and it's not like she'll be in the game.

    ...or will she?

    Assuming Saxton becomes a new class, what would he have?
    His melee is clearly his bare fists, but what other weapons would he have? Most of the set up for him implies that he doesn't even need weapons.

    He has a knife on him in the comics (gorilla one) and wields a big musket in one picture.

    edit: has a spear in the shark comic

    Primary = Right Gun
    Secondary = Left Gun
    Melee = Both guns

    I imagine Saxton wouldn't be a class, but a game mode. The teams have to control a point and the team that captures it has one random player play as Hale for X duration.

    where's that video of that server with the plugin where it's an entire team vs one player, but the one is like super fast and near indestructable

    Don't care at all about crafting unless you can make hats or other weapons other than the class ones. I'll be getting the achievements anyway. Even if you can make hats it'll probably take fifty weapons each or some crap.

    I wonder if the "With this rocket launcher, transfer his fame to you!!!" line is a hint about the soldier unlock? Lifesteal would be awfully boring though.

    No No, you just punch in a secret code like Mortal Kombat.
    up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, a, b, select, start = saxton hale

    Point of Order: That's the Konami code. The Mortal Kombat codes were Down, Up, Left, Left, A, Right, Down (DULLARD) and A, B, A, C, A, B, B for the blood code.

    I like this crafting better than a trade system. It dulls the blow of getting a shitty item that you and everyone else already has.

    There's a small learning curve on the demo and I think a lot of people are tying to play him on pubs that normally don't and failing. (just my thoughts)

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've given up more kills as a Demo than I've gotten. Between that and the losing numbers, I quit bothering to care about the war really.

    Given the news article, and the comic, and that quote, I am calling one of the soldier unlocks as the ability to rocket jump teammates.

    IE shoot them and they pop into the air.

    e:
    Also does the crafting mean we are getting stats finally on the guns? Or just that we are getting yet another way to get all the guns we already all have?

    It's probably just an additional way to get guns & hats, and maybe a few new things.

    Would shut people up saying "They've been doing nothing while working on L4D2!" Mind you, the folks saying that are in a moronic minority.

    We all know it's going to have engineers because obviously his picture being shown means he is the War's secret weapon.

    Engineers get counters for how much they contribute to each side, BAM, we have mercenaries for either side. Monday or Tuesday calling it.

    IN other news, I tried demo and can't do it. I have respect for those who play it without spamming but I've become so used to Soldier that the projectile change is too drastic. Fun class and both have their uses, but not my thing.

    However, I don't think one is harder than the other. Just different.

    Not like we don't have precedence for it. Though the spy coming out of nowhere was fairly in character, so that might be a strike against the engineer getting his at the same time.

    I wonder how long it'll be before all the blueprints are discovered and how often they'll be adding new ones.

    Also, it appears a shotgun is being made. Will we be able to craft regular weapons with special properties or is Valve just screwing with us as they do once in a while?

    you beat me to this slogan by like 6 hours because I wasn't at hoooome

    ffffffff

    also this is FANTASTIC and I am SO happy that guy a couple pages back who said they wouldn't update on the weekend was wrong.

    That guy in the article or wherever I heard this was right, Gabe apparently told him "What we are working on IS big."
