Oh and vote for scout if you really wanna...i geuss

Voted for Medic, Scout has already too much attention and stuff, medic could finally have something better than the useless Uber Update garbage.

>>11449
Yeah, this. I don't play Medic much but Scout and Soldier have too much shit already, especially compared to Medic and Engineer.

I voted for Medic because he needs a new pack, but my God, that lazer-scattergun. I want that gun. I really want them to both get it, but I know it won't happen. At least not now. Valve is probably gonna give everyone a space-pack, so it's matter of waiting a few months.

Also, is that the bison? I was hoping for some rapid-fire lazer gun that stuns, not the same single-shot projectile weapon they gave every merc who got a space pack.

more useless gimmick weapons, just what we needed

>>11452
yeah man.

FUCK content of any kind

god why do they even add items 2 the game

>>11452

If they add useful weapons, the comp scene bans them. If they add fun weapons, the comp scene bitches that they are useless. Can't win

jetpack for scout

ultimate trolling

>>11449
Robin's favorite class is Soldier, so that's why he gets most stuff in game

>>11476
I bet that the jetpack will be a misc.
Can't wait to see peoples reaction when its confirmed

Maybe the jetpack will be functional, but have serious downsides.

Or it'll be more of a triple-jump and not actual flying.

The Scout weapon basically looks like a FaN reskin, the last thing I want is Scout newbies running around with it. Downvoted it, upvoted the medic set.

Okay, want I want out of the Scout set is
Hat- that hat he's wearing
Primary- Gun+Jetpack. Functions like Soda Popper, except dealing damage fills a bar which allows you to glide. Height limit to glide.
Melee- Those gloves. 60% less damage than standard bat, 50% faster, on kill restores 25 hp.

Would you guys vote for this?

>>11561
That's actually pretty cool. I'd vote for it if I hadn't already voted for Medic's.

>>11448
I want to like this setup. As a Scout fan, I want it so bad. Especially if the jetpack actually gives you an airboost or some other practical function.
But as a veteran medic, I just can't deny the longing for more medic setup variation.

DICKS EVERYWHERE

DICKS EVERYWHERE

At least the names are pretty cool. If the mercy killer is going to stop Blutsauger battlemedics it has all my love

  Just came across this excellent live action/CGI video based on Dr Grordbort.

Out of curiousity, what constitutes a Battle Medic? Sometimes there's nobody to pocket on my team, everyone else's halfway across the map (or a Scout), and I get cornered by an enemy Pyro, then informed I'm not allowed to pull out the needlegun at all or defend myself and why aren't I working on an Uber.

I'm usually a passive Medic, but I have times when everyone runs off from me.

>>11589
I've heard three terms for three types of Medic.

The first one is 'Passive Medic;' A Medic who just runs around and heals people. Gets plenty of assists, but isn't good at saving himself when in danger.

The next two I've seen interchanged, but I've mostly heard them used like so:

Combat Medic: A Medic who heals his team as much as possible, but isn't afriad to take out his gun against a vunurable sentry in Doublecross or someplace. (We've all taken out a lvl.3 sentry as Medic. It's pathetically easy.) He'll use his needles when they are more use to him than a team mate. A really good combat Medic will use the crossbow and heal/kill from across the map.

Battle Medic: This is what everyone despises. He's the Medic that will charge out with the Blutsauger with the thought in his head that it's as powerful as a scattergun. He'll seldom get kills and rarely heal his team.
There are good battle Medics though. I've been a good battle Medic before, and there is nothing more rewarding than seeing; 'RED Medic is a fucking monster' in the chat. The key to being a good battle Medic is to equip the head and Blutsauger, then play in the most seldom traveled parts of the map. Lead your targets, and run backwards. They'll fall to your aids-filled needles in a heartbeat.

The last and best type of Medic, which is more of a branch off the battle Medic type, is the chain ubering Medic. These two will fuck shit up, even for a team consisting mostly of Pyros. A chain uber is really hard to pull off, and even the best Medics will find it hard. But it reaps rewards and dominations, it is worth the effort.

Ah, gotcha. Whether I Combat Medic or Passive Medic depends on who's on my team- but unfortunately there's the odd server where defending yourself at all is frowned upon. Maybe I should just not go Medic at all there unless there's someone to back me up.

>>11622
Yeah, that's a good strategy. Unless you've observed the Heavy or Soldier on your team to be really good, Medic is a waste of time. Demos and Pyros are occasionally good partners, but unless the Pyro can airblast, she's a waste of your medigun's time. Also, never pocket a Demoknight and expect a sucessful uber. It just doesn't happen in public servers.

Why am I saying this, you probably know this already.
