I guess by the title, you should of figured out even by then that I'm one of the many Rabid TF2 players lining up on the internet. Now, I've been scanning the internets and began to think after reading the many interests involving the heavy weapons guy when the next big update comes out. People had many predictions online on what could possibly be this big, slow, bundle of massive pain when the achievements are released for him.

1: Minigun is changing? Minigun has evolved to.... The Vulcan. The heavy weapons guy is even slower with this one, however.. he now has more range on it as well as more ammo, and even more damage. Its good for clearing out those beginning areas where you guy snipers and demomen are pegging at you from a distance, and capable of helping the HWG taking turrents out... for once. A good engineer will always survive a HWG/Uber. And since the devs wanna make him more reliable without a medic, even more HP to make up for his slowdown. The Chain Gun was another option - Deals less damage, but has less spread and even more ammo per clip as well.

2: Shotgun is changing? Shotgun has evolved to... I honestly don't know what will replace the HWG's shotgun. I'm thinking something with a bit more distance of course.. but what will give the HWG distance but keep with his hard hitting, large hit point pool. The Pyro got the flare gun.. which fits him well, it sets people on fire. But what could work? A mortar cannon maybe? But that'll make him to much like a demoman. - The major thing people want is something along the lines of a RIOT SHIELD - Replace the weapon with a shield that reduces damage from the front. Just making him a walking tank. DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN - Eh.. name speaks for itself.

3: Fists is changing? Fists has evolved to... I've seen three major interests in upgrades for this one - The simple brass knuckles. Knockback, more damage. Simple. The next possibility is also the Riot Shield - Since he can still punch with his free hand, and it leaves him open to attacks from the front when he does. And lastly is the Boxing Gloves. Large Knockback, faster attacks.

Anyways.. these are just my predictions. Doesn't really matter anyways, I play sniper.. and with the lack of medics again, and everyone.. and I mean EVERYONE going to play Heavy when the patch comes out.. I'm gonna have me some fun headshotting!
