So everyone is super duper awesomely excited about the new weapon. What will it be? Is it like the AC-130 gunship in MW2? Or like the AWP in CS:S? Maybe it's the BFG from Quake?!

Place your best guess in this thread. The person who nails it*, exactly, wins:

The Grand Prize of 100,000 casino points​
.

If you're wrong, don't fret! There's a smaller prize too. Here's the lowdown:

1. The contest starts, immediately, with the posting of this thread.
2. The contest ends, immediately, when Valve reveals the new weapon via the official Steam group. The timestamp of the posting determines the official end time. Only posts made before the timestamp of the Valve post are official entries.
3. To make an official entry, you must put the word ENTRY as the first word in your post's subject line.

e.g. Entry: Pyro Will Win!

4. Only one official entry per person. If there are duplicate entries, only the first (earliest) chronological entry is official.
5. Only eGO members (all ranks) are eligible.
6. No members of Leadership are eligible.
7. In your (official entry) post, you must state:

- Who (which class) will win the weapon.

- Describe the weapon.

- Whether the weapon is aesthetic or "real". (For "looks" or whether it can be equipped to cause damage to an enemy).
- If aesthetic: How it will be worn.
- If real: What weapon will it replace? If any.

- Whether it will be a melee or ranged weapon.

- If ranged, you must identify the primary and secondary (if any) methods of attack.
- If melee, you must describe the weapon and how it will be used.

- If the new weapon will use new or existing ammunition. And if so, what is it?

- A BONUS question exists to break ties. You should state what will be the WINNING team's total number of kills WITHOUT going over. (Think Price is Right).

The winning entry MUST have the correct answers and correct description (so as to be unambiguous) on the nature of the weapon.

If no one is 100% accurate, then I will give out a prize of 25,000 casino points to the person who accurately guesses:

- Class
- Melee/Ranged
- Aesthetic or Real
- Ammunition: Existing or New

If there are multiple winners, the person who guesses the BONUS question to the closest 1000 kills wins (WITHOUT going over the total). If there are people tied at this point, all members tying win.

I will be the sole judge and deciding person on whether you win or not.
So deal.
