Heavy Update:
Removed all guns, foods, and fists from the heavy. He now moves 200% faster.

This update is to encourage heavies to use their sheer girth to push enemies off of high points in order to kill them with cumulative fall damage.

Fast heavy with no weapons but fatty push? HELL YEAH. VALVE MAKE IT SO.

Spies Cloak has been replaced with a partial-cloaking device, and the knife now does crits on a backstab, instead of instant kills.

The revolver does double damage, but fires 50% slower, and is half as accurate. The sapper is now thrown instead of placed, and does not damage the sentry and buildings, but simply disables them for five seconds.

The changes allow the spy to make tactical choices more efficiently, the cloak no longer completely protects you, and you must use it while the enemy is distracted, the sapper and revolver buffs now allow the spy to use both items in tandem to take down buildings, the new knife mechanic was added due to players complaining the knife was overpowered compared to other melee weapons, and forces spies to ensure that their target is truly distracted before going in for the kill.

The disguise kit was buffed to allow 10% damage reduction, at the cost of only allowing disguises in the Demo, Soldier, Spy, Pyro and scout varieties, they are also only seen to wield their respective melee weapons. This forces spies to think more appropriately to the situation, and stops them from being to use their disguises to fool players too easily, while the damage reduction causes them to be more survivable from spychecking.

That sapper change actually doesn't sound too bad(though the rest does). More like how it's used in Meet The Spy.

Scouts now have a walking speed of zero. However, they have unlimited jump capabilities(triple jump, quadruple jump, and so on).

... actually that would be quite fun.

[Jakkarra]

That would be useless, they couldnt leave spawn.

Heavy Update:
Removed all guns, foods, and fists from the heavy. He now moves 200% faster.

This update is to encourage heavies to use their sheer girth to push enemies off of high points in order to kill them with cumulative fall damage.

Also announcing the new item: Heavy drawn carriage. Equippable to the heavies main weapon slot, it allows him to use his newfound speed and girth to transport teammates. One of any other class can ride the carriage, which the heavy pulls with his mighty teeth.

This is to balance out recent changes which removed all other items from the heavy, and encourages using heavies as beast of burden, which is a core facet of heavy tactics we feel have been neglected up till now.

In the future look for the heavy dispenser pack back-pack: Make those lazy heavies carry your stuff for you!

[Siquo]

The backpack, once empty, can also hold a medic.

HeavyMedic is MasterBlaster!

Another new change. Heavy is now able to equip Dentures (Level 5 Teeth) to his melee slot, which will allow him a melee attack at the cost of forcing him to drop his carriage. He can only get a new carriage by reclaiming the one he dropped or grabbing one from the cabinet or garage at the spawn. This is to balance the heavy's lack of melee, which he happens to be ideally suited for with his new speed.

You know what, we just decided to return the heavy to normal, and make an entirely new class to mess around with.

Scratch that, we decided to rebrand the game as heavy fortress 2. All classes are now heavies.

[Dr. Johbson]

I am heavy weapons spy. And this, isn't my weapon.

Heavy Heavy Weapons Guy has a minigun that shoots flaming crockets.

[dragnar]

Heavy Engineer has a level one sentry with Sasha and Natasha mounted on it. And he builds by yelling at it, calling it a tiny weakling.

[Sensei]

lol, I smell a mod.

And there was a thread that actually suggested making backstabs crit.

[Pandarsenic]

Heavy Sniper is exactly what we have in TF2 now, only the minigun has a tightened cone and 50% crit rate.

Heavy doctor wears chef hat and wields buckets of BBQ chicken.
