Team Fortress 2 Presents...

Don't play Spy with the halo on, as it shows up when he's cloaked or disguised.

Currently, anyway. I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.

"hey why does this guy have a halo on his head?"

"OH DON'T WORRY THAT MEANS HE'S A GOOD SPORT AND TOTALLY WON'T BACKSTAB US"

meh. The Heavy's gonna look funny as hell with that thing :>

[Alpha Six]

spy always has cloaking problems with every new update

[Alpha Six]

yo doods i'm not sure if you've been paying attention but the travis update just got a huge overhaul, including bad girl's bat, more sound files, an improved model, a new energy drink and a couple other new shit

Uh, what?

[Alpha Six]

OMG.

Jake posted a link to something like that on some free webservice server and I was like "if this was real I would so play it"


fdsfsgffdgdfgggggggg DOES IT ACTUALLY EXIST AAAAAAAAAAAA

[Raytheon]

no a community user made it.

apparently valve were really impressed and shit and he got an email saying that it was good.

[Alpha Six]

i know it was a fanmade update but


that would be f. sweet if valve actually decided to do something with it.

[Raytheon]

THIS IS WHAT HIS EMAIL ACTUALLY SAID

"WE CAME UP W/ THIS IDEA BEFORE YOU, NOW WE HAVE IT AND YOU GET NO CREDIT K "

[Rosencrantz]

oh man please PLEASE let this happen

I was hoping that tenthclass would be the Civilian (finally) but I like this tons more :>

Too bad for the pup.

If we all hype this up alot it'll probably happen. Valve really listens to their audience, maybe if we yell JUUUUST loud enough... :v

hahaha, my favorite part of the letter is " [/] YOUR APPLICATION IS PENDING. [ ] I'M COMING FOR YOU, YOU SON OF A BITCH." XD

Off MFGG TF2 thread:

Too bad for the pup.

well, a few things:

1) a bunch of people on the Steam forum supposedly proved that this e-mail was false or something
(I don't have all the facts, and I think everyone may be wrong)
2) if enough people pester Valve for it, Valve might actually include it anyway

[Nystre]

oh yeah sure pestering valve works


that's why after the game being out for almost 2 years they've nerfed the demoman












oh wait

Well, the dog, as described in the fake update, is somewhat broken. In order to balance it out a bit better, I'd probably change the following things:

1) Make it go somewhat slower than a Scout.
2) Give it lower health than a Scout. Maybe around 80-100 or something.
3) Make the dog a bit bigger. They could do this through feature exaggeration, kinda how all the people are already rather disproportionate.

Also, while Valve may listen to their fans somewhat often, they still might reject the dog for various reasons. They might already have plans for a different 10th class (though I don't think so). Also, Guard Dog would change up the gameplay. Unlike the other classes, where class rushes are often rather ineffective, Guard Dog rushes would probably win almost every time, as the class has a strong melee, a fast, pushing primary weapon, and a useful way to bring HP and ammo to the other dogs. It'd be like playing against a well-balanced team, except they're all the same class!
