I hate my Cow Mangler now. A charged blast can't even kill an engy on a direct hit. All it's good for is to disable a sentry, then run forward and melee it to death. If it doesn't mow you down.
Primary fire, is really good though. It does about the same dmg as the rocket launcher, despite the -10% dmg. It's 5 shots and unlimited ammo make it better overall. But sentries....

It's ridiculous that they nerfed the Mangler but they still haven't nerfed the (hilariously OP in arena) Persian Persuader or the lolforcer, which I get a ridiculous amount of kills just cloaking up, moving behind the enemy team and shooting them with it.

EDIT: Well, shit.

Don't forget the undocumented effect of the cow mangler... THE POLYCOUNTS! THEY LAAAAAAG!

Oh, that video stuff is cool. Valve producing a horror game, maybe?

From what I've heard, people are banning the cow mangler because it crashes their server. Could be likely, although the main reason is that people think it's overpowered. A good engi can take care of a mangler soldier easily.

Wow, I cannot believe I did not notice that http://www.teamfortress.com/meetthedirector/?p=10 this page had previews of Meet The Medic in the background. I am so thick sometimes.

[Siquo]

Uhhh, yeah. Don't worry about it, but don't let it happen again!

In other news, I am annoying scoot, but sentries are even more annoying.

I approve.

Hey so the Medieval update.
The Beginning
The Latest Page

Check it out.

I'm almost certain that many of these files will be added to the game by Valve, complete with some tactical variation. Frankly I think they should usually be worse than the normal equivalent, perhaps with some unique abilities.

Take the Soldier's cannon. I could certainly see it lobbing a big, slow projectile with an arc and maybe have only limited damage but significant knockback if it hits directly. That sounds like a big cannonball.

Then there's the sniper with a new scoped crossbow, which sounds interesting. I guess it'd make an interesting merge of the sniper rifle and the bow. Less arc, more reload time. More range, less maneuverability.

The Medic's non-surgical scissors might do bleeding... but that's overplayed. The mug could be used to splash allies with booze, extinguishing them, although that makes little sense.

The Ribs might be interesting too. The Sandwich perfectly compliments the Minigun+medigun alliance, but is (while nice) not quite as useful in medieval. I'd say that anything that improves his ability to melee fight against the champions of medieval mode would be very good. Something to counter swords in general?

[mr. macduggan]

Yeah, if they do get added, I hope that they add a payload map for midevial, and also make the new weapons horribly UP, but able to be used in the mostly-melee midevial mode.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Heh. Medieval Update. Some of this stuff looks cool, but most of it I probably won't use. Perhaps all of it.

[PTTG??]

I'm looking forward to seeing a cannon-soldier fighting a laser-soldier.

[micelus]

erm, may i ask what is the point of downloading the models? is it supposed to replace my weapons?

Yes. It changes what the weapons look like.

[micelus]

so these aren't actually a preview of new weapons but just a source of new meshes?

You do realise that's what Valve always does, right? They take models off the community and makes them into weapons and hats etc?
