Possible looks into new updates for TF2 Created 16 years ago2008-08-21 18:28:47 UTC by CactusJack

I was just watching the video on steam called Team Fortress 2 Trailer( the HD video) and got a glimpse into some pretty big changes. The scout had the snipers smg and the spy had what looked like a silenced pistol. Also it showed the Demoman with a few sticks of TNT, this had been rumoured for a while. If you haven't seen it, its a pretty quick download through steam. Just go to the TF2 buy page and in videos, its under Sandvich

That's just the old TF2 trailer. Most of its content ended up being cut.

The very first trailer shows a lot of things.

Here's my predictions as to what is gonna happen just based on trailers / videos:

• Spy will get a tranquilizer
• Sniper will get a better SMG (obviously)
• Scout will get his nail gun (or whatever that thing was called in TFC)
• Demoman will get his TNT bundle as a detpack (probably)
• The Hunted will be redone and it will pwn everyone and everything (fact)

- Sniper will get a better SMG (obviously)

Oh dear god yes.

- The Hunted will be redone and it will pwn everyone and everything (fact)

OH DEAR GOD YES!

it's been "almost" confirmed that demoman will not get a detpack. there was an interview where that was asked and the response was "probably not".

But that's still 'probably' That's like what... 1% maybe?

Ok, the TNT maybe won't be a detpack, but I don't see how it couldn't replace one of the grenade launchers. It does the same job, just faster.

The Snipers update is what I'm really hanging out for, the Medic, Pyro and Heavy are (or were) among my least played classes, and will probably return that way once all the updates are out.

I'd like to see the Sniper get an en-bloc clip for his rifle, so he could fire off 3-5 shots more rapidly than standard, and having to reload after ejecting the entire clip. For extra balance they could not remove crits or something, I dunno.

With the sniper I could also see a rifle that has no scope charge up time.

You could pop in and out. A reasonable drawback might be that you have to wait out a comparitively long reload time between every shot off of a single fire clip.

That'd be reasonable I think.
