Alright guys, am I the only one who thinks they're way off the mark with the Cow Mangler 5000 and the Righteous Bison? Team Fortress 2 has always had the perfect retro/espionage/noir/60's vibe to it. And what to they do? Add lasers. What the hell? Is it just me, or do these new weapons not fit the universe at all? Barring some minor exceptions, these new Soldier guns stick out of place far more than any other weapon in the game IMO.
 
I liked tf2 up until the heavy update, then .... it all went downhill.... i wish you could select an option to play tf2 before all this (explicitive) was added to it and it became free....
 
I only have a few complaints about TF2 -- all of the scout primaries except scattergun, demo knight, and the new soldier weapons.

Unfortunately these are often game breakers for me.

5 threads about this update...

It might be pretty bad but just deal with it. People complained when CSS had that hugeee update back then, some quit, but in the end, it was still pretty okay. This is a weapon, not a big deal IMO. I play soldier a lot and I completely REFUSE to use this lame weapon.
 
So many threads like this in tf2 section. I do think it's op, but you really can't do anything about it.
 
They might be futuristic and all but they can't beat my katana.

Pew pew lazorz do no good without a head.
 
The only thing I hate about the new soldier stuff is the fact that a BUNCH of people are going Soldier when I play and they're just shooting their lasers around.

Do you know how hard it is to Snipe when there are about 7 lasers shooting down a hallway? Pretty damn hard.
 
The only time I really had a problem with them is when they first came out and everyone want soldier. That has now died down considerably and they've already been nerfed.

Indeed. I'm seeing less and less of them. Just the occasional solider on the ments to launch a charge at a sniper. But easily avoidable.
 
Meanwhile poor homewrecker needs to borrow some of axringuisher's OP ness :(

At this point it really needs a buff. They've proven twice now with the Amputator and the Solemn Vow that they don't care about making straight upgrades from the default melee weapons. Yet the Homewrecker is still a downgrade from the regular Fire Axe. The Maul looks so great, I want a reason to equip it.

its only useful for breaking buildings...yet chances are ur not gonna get that close to a sentry without an uber...and if u do...chances are your flame thrower will do more damage to the whole area rather than concentrate it to one item cus flame thrower will kill engie, sentry and anything around it

Exactly, I wish Valve would spend more time making some of the older weapons worth using rather than releasing new ones I'll never use.
 
I remember the first day on 2 fort, 9 out of the 12 people were soldiers and everyone used it.
Doesn't really matter to me, i can still kill a soldier with ease
 
Sadly all these changes have just completely RUNIED this once great game.... I tried to stick it out but tbh I cant take it anymore, time to switch divisions, and clock out of TF2. BC2, here I come!
To bad there couldn't be a server with just vanilla weapons...
