Medic is THE best. not only does he have an awesome bonesaw taunt, he can KICK PEOPLES ASSES! Not to mention, he eats toast. Healthy, right? My actual favorite class is Scout right now, cuz i just go BONK and then I use the sandman taunt and a heavy flys! Hah, cry some more.

I actually had a field day during the medic update as a pyro. I ran into a group of 5 medics healing each other and toasted them all. Easy fun! XD I also had fun as a heavy then too with all the extra healing. It might depend on the server.

Everyone keeps predicting that spies and snipers are going to have a field day when this patch comes out, but I’m not so sure. Sure, 1 spy/sniper has an advantage against 1 heavy, but I don’t know that it scales well. Spies still need to get behind heavies to backstab them, which is going to be problematic with all those bullets flying and all those giant hitboxes blocking narrow passages. Snipers still need to charge up and aim precisely to kill heavies, and that’s going to be hard if multiple heavies are attacking the sniper (unless he has really long range). Not to mention: smarter players will take advantage of their team’s imbalance and try to counter the counter-classes (i.e., pyros and spies to kill enemy spies and snipers, respectively). Maybe heavies will be the exception, but we didn’t really see any classes dominate with either the pyro or medic updates.

Ps.- Wormbrain, thanks for that.

Bad day to be a scout or medic, great news for spies and snipers….

What’s that, my two most-played classes? How delightful!

I still don’t have the Blutsauger yet.

I think the Pyro cracking open the watermelon is an extremely vague reference to King Leonidas telling his Spartans that tonight they shall dine in Hell or something like that.

@Baejung92 – Watermelons just rock. Almost as much as toast.

He thought it’d be nice to eat some watermelons with friends on a hot summer day.

So… why is the Pyro cracking open a watermelon?

The worst part of this is that I JUST figured out why heavy is fun, and it wasn’t my least played class after yesterday. Just in time to have it be taken over by pretty much every retard wanting to farm the achievements… D:

Oh well, spy and sniper practice time, I guess.

Bad day for every single medic. Though playing spy should be an awesome time : )

As an avid medic player, I’m not looking forward to this.
