I like the sniper rifle, and the soldier set looks interesting, but the scout's weapons are horrid. Fifty percent fire vulnerability? Coupled with slower firing speed? Plus, the scattergun is absolutely terrible. A scout's job is to be mobile and jump around - there is no reason to penalize the scout for playing his class properly.

On top of that, the new SMG is sub par at best. Slower firing speed, and less ammunition? Snipers rarely get kills with the normal SMG.

Also looks like a new map, downtown 2fort

but oh my god all of it is awesome stuff

Valve sometimes nerfs weapons when people don't like it. Don't worreh.


Aaahhh I can't wait :c

That rocket launcher. :3
And the sniper rifle is cool too.

As for the new flaregun, meh, i still like the degreaser+reserve shooter+axtinguisher set more. :)

I think in one of the updates guns were announced but the stats were completely different upon release.
Or am I crazy.

Sniper got the best stuff imo.

I'm going to try it out, but if I don't like it, going back to flare gun...

RL looks so OP lol

Things I think will get buffs:
(maybe) scout pistol
scout scattergun
SMG

Things I think will get nerfs:
Sniper rifle

you shouldn't be near fire as a scout anyway. pick off the pyros with the pistol.
OR THE NEW SCATTERGUN

I doubt the rifle will get a nerf. It rewards snipers who like their headshots. Personally, I enjoy the all-around usefulness of the stock rifle, and as tempting as it may be to swap to the new one I think I'll stay vanilla. Bodyshots are simply too important. I might give it a run, though.
