    You should definitely take all that with a bucketful of salt, there is no reason to believe that they're going to implement it, leaving unused code in a build isn't exactly unheard of.

    What I think is far more interesting is the sound files, with both new Heavy and Sniper files, it may be that Valve are considering doing 2 classes per update.

    I think random drops would be kind of cool. And if you picked something up you could equip it in the weapon selection menu.

    I think it would be kind of fun as long as none of the weapons got any major boosts.

    I like the idea of taunting an enemy heavy who I kill even though he's got a medic healing him. That always feels so good. It's like a quick draw gunfight in the Wild West: whoever shoots first wins.

    Unless crits are involved but let's not talk about that.

    So, riddle me this- Does the medic get new shouts for his weapons? I can't recall ever hearing like "OH I LOVE THIS NEW SAW" or anything like that. But I also don't pay much attention when I am trying to hide behind a fatty.

    If the medic did NOT get these calls I would be more inclined to believe the heavy and sniper voice update was in line with something we have not seen yet.

    I'm almost certain there weren't any new voice shouts.

    This time, on Theory Fortress 2, I think they're going to introduce bots, and they're gonna put everyone on the same team against these bots, and they'll have to kill millions of these bots for "weapon experience", and as you collect pigeon feathers and bear skins you'll be able to sell them for bolts and buy gear for your character. There will also be dragons that will require guilds of players, but you can't PvP unless you get the rare drops from it. People will also start farming bolts.

    That's an awesome idea. Now make all the bots zombies who can't use guns, but drop them.

    Everybody is wondering why pyros don't spy check

    1. Only pyros on defense spy check

    2. Only really bored pyros spy check

    3. Now that the pyro is an evil gnashing maw satiated only by death wrought from the corruption of its hellborne saliva, there is absoulety no reason for them to be any farther from where can be seen their grim reflection in the eyes of their succulent prey.

    1 and 2 are rubbish but 3 has a grain of truth to it.

    Fact of the matter is, the vast majority of PA pyros randomly flame people they pass close to, and that's all I ask. It also does my heart good to see a pyro spin on his heel and flame-maim a spy once he sees that backstab icon in the top left, as opposed to most pubbers who happily go on their way as the spy continues to rake in snipers and various other classes standing stock still for no good reason.

    In related news, other snipers? That backstab icon means you're next. Unscope and get your kukri out, maggots.

    I know I'm bad at doing this. I get in tunnel vision and all I can see is the red/blue dot, and my enemies foreheads. Then I'm all surprised when I get stabbed in the back...

    I'm awful at spychecking as a sniper, it seems.

    Happens to the best of us. Except theantipop, who has the unerring ability to spin around and slice my face off right out of the blue...

    But in pubs, you get moments where three snipers can be positioned a good distance away from each other along the entire back wall of point B on Gravelpit, and one spy can go from one to the other with quick and easy backstabbin'. If I didn't know better, I'd have assumed they were co-operating with said spy in order to record a video or something...

    speaking of co-operating, sometimes I warn flippy about spies, even when he's not on my team. it's funny seeing him freak out. one day i'll catch him off guard and while he looks i'll shovel him in the face!

    I'm especially bad about listening to what is going on around me, or even pretending to be interested. Some spies realize this quickly, and even yell out spy before backstabbing me.

    Ridiculous.

    Also, if somebody is capping a point, I stop at nothing to get them dead. Even the pyro standing in front of me trying to burn me first.

    I think it's fake. The unlockable weapons usually fit the originals a bit so that they don't have to change how the models hands are holding the weapon. The back handle on that isn't at the right angle for the heavy to hold it. Then again, that is just concept art and the shape might be changed in the final version.

    Speaking of Toxic, Demon I will have your montage done by the end of the week... work was crazy for a while. Be ready for it.

    Edit: on the bofors, it does look like it's only about 5-6 rounds at a time (if it's real) so that could be interesting.

    It really isn't that far off, shifting the handle up and angle it forward it would fit fine and like you say, it's concept art, that is ofc providing it's real.

    If it was real, we would have heard it from Valve. When was the last time somebody leaked concept art from Valve? :P

    I never see the icon, which is why I try to stay within earshot of another friendly sniper when possible (like on Gold Rush). And usually try to keep him between the main spy entry point and myself. Hopefully I'll hear him die first.

    On a side note, I love pub spies. They're soooo subtle. I think I had all three spies on the opposing team dominated the other day as a sniper.

    Ok guess I was wrong then, I've heard all the voice files already, so whats in the game and what is still un-associated is mixed up for me. The scout ones aren't new files though, they were just correcting the associations for the file to play.
