Sibby has shown me that Sniper is OP once he get's some upgrades in MvM. And Star has shown me that even a Demoknight can kick ass in MvM. So really anyone can be awesome in MvM, as long as you all work as a TEAM, and have one Engie... You always need an engie in MvM.

Scout, is,

aweseum.

if used right you can get more money per kill then if a heavy was on his own, and it very easy to get ALL THE MONEY get the bonus easy.

scout can't win a battle on his own, but he makes it much easer for whole team to win the war.

And then the gamemode comes by and it turns out that the Sniper can turn his sniper into a rail gun.
Seriously, One well placed shot in a hallway and you have tons of new scrap.

Sniper is a useless class played only by babies. And women. And women who are also babies. Thin-wristed cowards. They're always hanging back getting kills but never doing anything to help achieve the objective. Every Sniper on your team is a handicap. Even the best of them barely assist their team.

actually, a good sniper is better to have on your team than a good soldier. anyone that steps in his line of sight is instantly killed, thus making uber build-up and sentry upgrading much easier. there's a reason he's in the "support" category in the class selection screen...

Man everybody here is talking about the Scout!

But what about the others!?

Also would any of you like to slap that female Medic's ass, In a sexual way!?

Scout actually has to play for the team now, as it provides the team with money more easy. especially under bonk influence.
Also, a horde of engies, with maxed dispensers, max sentry rate of fire and widowmaker *could* be op.

AND: Damage boosters like sniper's jarate actualy BENEFIT THE TEAM!

spy seems like it will be most useful from what i have heard, sapping robots just seems like ridiculous, interesting to see what the red tape recorder does to them to if it is available. a hacking skill for the engineer wouldn't be unreasonable and could be great to. can't wait to get home and play.
Adahn

Given that the material so far doesn't show a spy equivalent on the machine side and the scenario is defensive in nature, the balance of power is definitely going to be in favor of the Heavy.

D@V!D - Don't forget, that's just what all Scouts get out of the box, since we don't know the full extent of what each class can upgrade and how, yet.

I think Scout can be good for very aggressive forward defense, as long as there are some stout lines he can rely on should he fall.

Probably a minor downside, but all those bottles and upgraded weapons will occupy valuable slots in the inventory.

Scout didn't completely get the shit end of the stick, he is healed every time he kills something and he gets a whole lot of passive bonuses.

Gotta say I happy to see you doing comics on the current TF2 update. You missed a couple over the last few months and it's good to see.
Scoot

Gotta say I disagree with Jo. Extra money for upgrades for faster upgrades is great AND if we can switch classes mid game then we can easily earn some fast cash as scout then switch to a fully upgraded other class when we no longer need cash.

Just saying, know it's not an official game mode, but rather a mod. Sniper can crazy useful in VS Saxton Hale and Freak Fortress mode if you know what your doing.

Not worried about balance, Valve knows what its doing.
Through canteen bonuses and some extra roles, everyone will be of value.
Now who's that cute medic we haven't seen?

Actually the sniper might be very useful for taking out the robots carrying the bomb.

I think the scout gets health regen from the money drops, so he should be okay

The ultimate goal is to have fun. If everyone likes the same class and are happy with it, let them be.

With his instant respawn, scout = zergling rush. I love the sound of the spies, though.

Nice typos Jo. A canteen is not a "who". Neither is a grenade launcher.

I hope that there'l be some system forcing you to all play as different classes or at least a 2 class limit.
Zacsi
over 11 years ago
Jo, this is vALVE we are talking about here.
Balance is never the problem.(not in long term anyway)
Usefullness of a single class is never the problem.
Lots of idiots playing the same classes is always the core problem.
Hate the player thats unwilling to learn not the game/mechanics.

The Scout's instant respawn sticks out to me. In a game mode where being at the right place at the right time is the difference between life and death, speed is important, and scout has all the capability to be the glass cannon that can take out heavy targets to buy time for the rest of the team.
 Platypus

Look at it this way. It's reverse CTF where you're constantly on the defensive. Scouts are an aggressive class, not defensive. Where the Scout is going to be good is not against the horde but hunting the hunters. Sentry busters, Bowman, and the Medics bots. Think Payload defense scout.
Dustin

I think scout will be useful for harassing and picking off medics and snipers. Also the crit cans last 5 secs, he should be able to fire all 6 shots of his scatter. That could take out any QF medic heavy team.

Scout might not be bad -- getting more healing and instant respawns look good on paper. (Haven't played yet -- might suck in practice.)

Hey wait a minute... Is this really going to be in the game or what?
Cu'z I don't see The Scout turn in to a Heavy if this is going to help!

[url=#user_comment_160344]@Hazama[/url] Ah, yes, the fine art of troubleshooting, known by IT everywhere. Let something slip through, and you get yelled at for not doing your job. do your job right, and you get told you did nothing 'because there weren't any problems anyway'. Let 'em take a few shots, *then* cap them.
Vulpis
over 11 years ago
Nope, looks like it failed, Medic--otherwise, he'd have turned into an Engineer. After all, what better way to fight a machine horde than with another machine horde? :-)

[url=#user_comment_160278]@Seangief[/url]: I love spy, but I will only play my favorite class when my team can survive without another class, which is almost never. But I hate when on payload I sap every turret and kill defending soldiers or heavies, and someone still says I'm useless >.<

Manta

[url=#user_comment_160278]@Seangief[/url] Ironic, but easily explained. When you feel your team is not helping you get close to the objectives, you switch to a class percieved to be good at working solo so you don't need to rely on your team. It's a false assessment, since these classes need beefy teammates more than any other.
RoderickBR

And to answer the question everyone's doing since MvM was hinted at: Yes, sappers works on robots. No, it doesn't fully disable them like it does on Engy's buildings.
Kayeka
over 11 years ago
Yeah, I doubt many people will play scout on this mode. Not completely useless, but mostly supportive, leaving all the actual fighting to their beefier friends. And the medic. You always need a medic.
Seangief
over 11 years ago
Don't you guys find it ironic that when your team is on the losing side, more and more people opt to go sniper or spy, when we should be picking anything BUT?
