    The only good thing I see here is the enforcer. And that's mainly because it will encourage people to move away from the op as shit silent set bonus.

    The enforcer will out damage a shotgun now right? With much better range. Woo balance.

    I like the concept of the Tomislav because SURPRISE! HEAVY AMBUSH! And at the very least, I'll be giving the Family Business a try because shotgun with more ammo sounds good to me, even with less damage.

    It gets better: an enforcer crit will oneshot a 125hp class. So much raging will ensue.

    What Mafia? Are you suggesting there might be any elicit operations going on here?
    'Cause it doesn't look like there are.

    GOT IT???

    Edit: I'm hoping for a new Scout Scattergun that with faster reload time (possibly with slower firing rate and a bit less damage to compensate), because I can never use the stock one; it feels too clumsy for me, and I always keep getting caught while short on ammo. The FaN jives well with my "hit and run" Scout tactics, so a nice happy medium that isn't the Shortstop (because I like the Pistol) would be great.

    The flower is probably a new PDA unlock. I'm guessing it gives you something for dropping it on enemy corpses, maybe a buff or improved cloak.

    Also the Enforcer will help people to realize that the revolver has always been an amazing gun.

    Why would it be? For the guns they give us exactly what will be shown in game, but the flower has nothing. It's a cosmetic item.

    Or it's just a misc slot item that puts a rose on the spy's lapel.

    Depends on if it has a silly reload animation or not. Spy is the only class where I have to turn auto-reload off because it's so damn annoying.


    Also, barnblitz looks like a really uninspired map. I guess it's hard to tell from just one screenshot, but it looks like it's gonna be one of those swiss cheese maps where all the fighting areas are really cramped, and there's a million halls to get lost in.

    Although that doesn't mean they can't add another promo item or something on Friday too.

    So, for the new minigun, is just the spin-up-before-you-can-fire time silent, or is it silent all the time if you're not shooting? And does 20% slowing firing speed just turn out to be 20% less damage?

    Apparently it takes the minigun 3.5 seconds to outdamage the Tomislav if they start revving at the same time. Have fun, pyros.

    The cigar looks really bad. Hopefully Valve actually animate his mouth to hold it.

    I doubt they are adding it. The mouth model is way too wonky to try to do that. They have the hat in the picture, but not the cigar, so I'll bet they picked everything up from that pack but it.

    So, if this game went F2P, what's to stop you setting up multiple steam accounts and idling for items on a bunch of different accounts, then trading to your main?

    They'd have to scrap drops so all new weapons would be paid for items. Or you'd have to pay to recieve drops.

    Makes me think it is unlikely.

    Yeah I really hope they don't make it F2P. It seems like a pretty bad idea. Plus I don't think there is enough incentive to even pay for anything anyway. Unless they added something drastic.

    TF2 can be F2P without any downside with the following change: free accounts can't trade items. In fact, the free players this weekend have that exact restriction.

    Let's be honest here, Valve has pretty much made the majority of the money they'll make from game purchases already. They have an in-game store for future profits, and if you don't want to pay: the drop system.

    Welcome to being old, where a majority of your time is spent regretting all the time you wasted as a kid (which, incidentally, perpetuates the cycle).

    So I guess the moral is if you want to do something, just go out and do it.
