Yeah, that rifle doesn't look like a bolt-action, does it? I guess the Sniper no longer has to do his "reload" (actually just ejecting a shell) unzoomed, and instead you just have an equal delay between shots. That's actually really great-sounding.

I dunno if your crosshairs move up after firing in TF2, because you leave zoom immediately.

[The Scout]

...Cozy Camper might actually be good for that gun. Like, I'll piss myself when I see a sniper.

[mr. macduggan]

The thing is, all of these weapons are OK from the PERSPECTIVE of a pyro. Scouts more vulnerable to pyro? OK. Soldiers spamming inaccurate rockets that you can reflect 3 at a time? OK. Snipers that don't leave their scope? OK.

[Matz05]

hmm... true.

Scouts that are fire-vulnerable, stay on the ground more, and slow down after they jump over you.

Snipers that have less panic-close-combat ability and stay in scope more (also means more tasty toasty spies).

Soldiers who shotgun rockets instead of sniping with them.

All very pro-pyro.

EDIT: Oh, and the scout weapon is less of a point-blank face tearer-offer!

[The Scout]

....That shotgun better work on damage, and not just a "hit". I want to run up to a heavy, blast him in the back and run away, not snipe people then run up for easy kills.

You'd better be using the scattergun for that, then.

[Enzo]

Omigosh I just realized. The scattergun isn't a present for the scout, it's a present for the spy.

Suddenly my slow-scout disguise is 100% more viable!

They're all for other classes. Also, why is the soldier painted? Is his weapon model not completely done, or maybe his tin can grenades.

[Spinal_Taper]

I'm thinking that the Pyro is going to get a bunch of weps tommorow. No way that during the MtP update they'll only give him one wep.

I think that Valve is just being fancy and showing off some concept art. He seems to be rendered perfectly fine at the top of the page.

[Vherid]

I eagerly await the new sniper items. The sniper rifle might give me a reason to use something other then the machinima, and the SMG could possibly be an interesting way to let snipers be more aggressive, it also looks like it could just be complete ass though.

[Descan]

You use the huntsman, get someone low on health, finish them off with the SMG, mow down everyone.

SMG crits are powerful, man.

I feel bad. One of my friends traded me a few items to get me on my feet, but now I cant play anymore. Apparently one of the items (Big Steel Jaw of Summer Fun!) is pretty rare and there's no way for me to give him it back until I purchase TF2 :C

[Duke 2.0]

If the Pyro doesn't get a flood of new toys tomorrow, Valve, I will be disappoint.

Medic didn't really get his weapons on his Meet The video until the last day, right? Don't get ahead of yourself, we gots time for some cool stuff.

It's only about a dollar or so for the cheapest thing in the store, and that'll take the limits off.

Or "splurge" on a key that might net you a neat Strange, which is basically the normal gun with a kill-counter stuck on. Or you could get a hat.
