I don't play Soilder much either (Medic, Engineer or Heavy for me), but this sounds genuinely awesome. Looks like I better start playing him some more.
From what I've read the new weapons seem to be OP. Lots of complaints on valve forums even from people using it themselves.
@Gr3g0ry
They'll probably balance them out in a mini-update later this week and then really fine tune them over the following weeks. At least that's what they do with just about everything else.
I'm really not sure where I stand on this. I like that there is now real variety in weapon choices but part of me is also worried that this direction could really take them overboard. Probably just worrying too much.

They're best known for making ridiculously cool props for movies you've probably seen like Lord of the Rings and District 9.
Cool update Valve, its not like the Black Box wasn't already the OP weapon for soldiers. Now they get shit that's more broken than the original Ambassador?
Welp, looks like I'm going to be avoiding TF2 for at least the next few weeks. I generally don't enjoy the game when there's one class that can clearly destroy the others without any issue, or renders other classes completely useless. I'm sure Valve, being Valve, will tweak these in the future until they're fair and usable again.
This update makes the game ridiculously difficult to run now. Just came back from a server that went down a few times due to all of the lasers.
Apparently, the models for the larger lasers have a higher polycount than the Pyro's model has. And there's tons of them being fired every which way.

I played like 2 hours today and got tired of those laser weapons, I am not the best TF2 player around, but those weapons really did spoil the fun :(
They need to do something with scout. Like a little damage or health would be nice. Scout is my favorite class but pyros and enigneer fuck me up.
After seeing the new weapons in action, I've noticed that when you disintegrate on kill, it looks a lot like how baddies in the Half-Life series would disintegrate from that ball-of-light weapon.
I rarely speculate about the next Half-Life episode, but maybe this is hinting at something...

@ Rokee:
I'm pretty sure Engineers are gonna be getting some serious love from the lads over at Polycount before long.

Come on Valve, Soldiers and Demos are already kicking my Sentry ass. Oh well, time to Pyro them out.
By the way Destructoid, that fucking ad for the fucking gum hijacks the webpage that it appears on and makes all fucking links go to their fucking facebook page. Yes you need to make money, but come fucking on!
When I first saw these laserbeams and explosions I thought it was either the server or something like an effect for a fully leveled Strange weapon. I didn't even consider that Valve would put a weapon this stupid in the game.
"Last one alive lock the door!"
Though, disabling buildings seems too be stock rocket launcher job. Plus they should've specified max polygon count for all the models for these WETA guys. It just seems like from some other story than the game (which it is).

RESEARCH!
WETA is a special effects and prop company based in New Zealand. Remember every awesome thing that you wanted from Lord of the Rings? They made that. One of their artists makes a line of collector steampunk raygun props that he sells online at WETA's online store (at a a pretty large premium, serious folks only). Hence, that designer designed a few guns for use in TF2, because why not.
I've always wanted to buy something from WETA's online store, but damn, they ask a lot. Seems worth the investment though.

first time in a long time ive been dissapointed by a tf2 update. The weapons are hideous. But moreso, the effects of the m firign clutter thescreen with pure ultrabright overpowered bullshit, ruining the style. I know hats already did that, but thats too much. Im sure it wont be too difficult to see a few screens of those weapons obscuring everything on screen.
Also, any forced minicrit from that alien sidearm is a beast. It has particle damage, like that of the pyro, and merely grazing anyone while he is under jarate or while youre buff bannered will insta kill anything but a heavy. Something slipped from the game designers and the art directors here. Something's not right.
