What you think about the new unlockables for the Heavy Weapon?

[kdub wB]

Well, I think most of us was anxious today waiting for the heavy update. When I finally finished, it was just non-stop fun. I give Arena Mode 10 out of 10, but what do you guys think about the unlockables for the heavy? I personally like the sanvich. Whats your thoughts? (Oh Yeah its way much easier to get the achievements if you get a group of friends in one server to help out)

all the weapons are cool

Love the sandwich, love clutch sandwich eating to keep from burning to death.

I was not on for too long, and I did not go after the heavy stuff. (I'm gonna wait until the flood subsides.)

I did however go to Lumberyard for Arena. It was quite a trip. All those pretty, non-desert textures..... *cough* anyway, gameplay wise it is awesome if you are only on for a short spell. its hop in hop out fun. Though Engineer is just about useless on Lumberyard besides perhaps a hidden dispenser. Sentries have no hope.

I like em all.

However, I find Natasha to be too situational for my tastes.

Zopy's Lineup:

Primary: Sasha
Secondary: Sandvich
Melee: KGB

KGB are now my favorite weapon, I lovelovelove them. Especially when I get into a heavy fight on my team, minutes of non-stop Heavy vs. Heavy action!

I haven't played any arena maps yet, and I doubt I will. I just don't like the 1 life/round game play modes (Counter-Strike). However I have unlocked Sandvich and Natascha, and I'm enjoying them both.

The hilarity of getting shot at while eating a sandwich, and the pleasant purr of a spinning minigun barrel cannot be beat... Okay, maybe you don't notice the slowdown from Natascha's victims and you need a retreating weapon when you run out of ammo, and the almost guaranteed meme of "Heavy can't enjoy his sandvich/sammich", but all in all I like this update so far.

Perhaps I'll play some maps other than Dustbowl now?

EDIT: Also me and a few members are trying to determine if eating sandvich puts out fires. So far the results are inconclusive due to medics and having to retreat to eat.

I'll let you know in about 3 months when I get my first achievements. I avoided Heavy like the plague tonight.

 

[ubersauce]

Weapons are good, but I'll be pretty much avoiding TF2 until the flood subsides a bit :/
It's not fun playing with 8 heavies on each team...

 

[Koltor]

I'm a fan of all of the new weapons, but now that I have them, I'm taking a bit of a break from the class until things calm down a little bit.

 

[EnViOuS{A|R}]

I have not yet got the chance to play with any of them, but i hope to soon...

 

[PhIxX]

Not a fan of Natasha at all - benefit of slowing doesn't seem to even being to counter the power of Sasha. If it made people fire slower too - then that would be something.

Haven't played arena or the other payload map yet - but the new Steel is nice.

 

[Dammerung]

Good

I feel that the update for the heavy is excellent =] The boxing gloves are the deadliest, and the sandvich is the best hahaha, kind of makes the heavy not have to completely rely on the medic. =] Natascha is okay, but i still prefer to use Sasha, she is stronger and tends to get the kill in a Natascha vs. Sasha battle.

 

[J_landry]

This is all I could think of when I saw the KGB in-game

MORE FUN THAN, A PILLOW FIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!

 

[koolaid]

the kgb are so huge will like the kgb and the sandvich not sure about natasha or sasha might cheat on them behind their back lol

 

[Koltor]

This is all I could think of when I saw the KGB in-game

Hahaha, that is awesome and very true.

It does not. However it heals faster than the fire burns.

I've saved myself from certain death on several occasions.

I loved the update. I have already unlocked all 3 weapons and I love all o them.

Sure Natasha isnt as good as it might have been but it has such an awesome sound. I use sandwich, i love it and its so funny, i never used shotty anyway I liked KGB but i think that they are WAY oversized.

now about the maps:
Well, not much to say about steel, it practicaly didnt change.
I liked Badwater, its pretty fun.
About Arena: thank god it didnt turn out to be CS:S convertion... I loved all maps,especialy lumberyard an ravin, but when server started crashing on badlands and we had to play it over and over and over and over and over again for many hours, i was realy pissed off

I especialy like how they encouraged people to use krietzkrieg now that he charges up not 10, but 25% faster. And I like the new Backburner sound.

Basicaly, the update was great. I liked almost everything

Natascha has saved my life a number of times, for example when a pyro comes running to you shooting, Natascha can slow him down and kill him. Natascha is not meant to be a full frontal assault weapon like Sasha is, shes meant to slow the retreating enemies so your team can pick them off or let Natascha finish them off if they are really low on health. I usually use Natascha when im defending and Sasha when im attacking

The sandvich is very ideal for the lone heavy. It's best for defending rather than attacking since you can take a couple bites between waves of enemies. I use it pretty much all time since I rarely use my shotgun because it feels like the minigun got more accurate.

I love the K.G.B. but sometimes I switch to the normal fists for the aimable short/medium instant kill taunt which I had fun with. There was this one time when I playing on cp_blackmesa_v2t1 and I was on the cat walk above point "A" and I saw a heavy waiting for the med kit to spawn on the crate, so I jump off the cat walk on to the crate above the heavy, then POW! It is very funny when I get a kill that way and also some people must seem to think that it doesn't kill anything so they just come to you while your about to say POW and then their rag doll is like blown back 5 meters, which happened to me on point "A" on cp_Blackmesa.

So far I like them, I feel like a 350Lbs. Russian with new toys.
