Yes, and others say that The Stig's fingerprints match the tracks of tyres, he is the only person that can slam a revolving door and he sees everything as a series of green 1s and 2s...

Chuck Norris > The Stig.

Oh no. Don't turn this into a Chuck Norris and The Stig thread.

Hide it from Goderer!

stig> goderers love > chuck norris

How about a sprint for Heavy? Like the Spy's cloak, he can sprint to match a Pyro's speed which would benefit the Heavy since he is sooooooo slow... (the sprint doesn't work whilst his minigun is spinned up, but he can do it whilst using his other weapons).
Thoughts and feelings gentlemen?

I don't think making him faster in any way will be a good idea, slowness is the price he pays for his massive health.

not just that its just that changing speeds removes the character of the class. Kind of ruins it.

at most maybe a different massive gun that he can fire while moving normally. But even then I doubt that is going to happen.

He needs something to help him because unless he has a Medic or health nearby, he is liable to be stabbed or shot easily due to him being a very big and slow target.

I'm with Skillers on the French thing...

And the Heavy needs something... interesting. Maybe his Mini Gun get regular crit bursts? like every 100 bullets fired or somethign? but they dont last very loong

Valve wouldn't like that, it would allow the "cooking" of crits where you fire so much so you know that the next shots will be crits. You can't do that normally, but if every x shots were crits, you could.

The spy also says pregio (spelling >.< ) which is Italian.

And in at least one of the sounds I've heard he speaks with an American accent.

Spy is a complicated one. He could be anything really.. They probably have the same problem figuring out where he comes from as we do hence why no meet the spy video xP

I'm hoping that a 'Meet the Spy' video will be quite inventive.


Anyways, lets get it back on topic. I'm still wondering if the portable bofor's cannon concept art was legit or not.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't legit. Especially as it had a real life name (Bofors would appear to be a company).

Silenced = Bad

The only reason people know where a Spy is most of the time is because of that revolver bang...

Or the flying bodies and screaming from the knife kills. Or pyros burning them, lol. TBH, an undisguised spy isn't much threat, it's the disguised ones that are the problem.

Spies are a real threat to most classes, whether disguised or not. Scouts don't need to worry about them unless they stand still a lot. Heavies and Snipers worry about them the most as they are key targets for Spies.
A Spy can be undisguised and still pose a problem- Blackvain for example came from behind undisguised and cause complete havoc throughout my team, killing me and most of my team afterwards even though I wrote "SPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!" They only noticed when all our sentries where sapped and most where dead from backstabs... then Blackvain got away, without the need for a disguise.
A Spy shouldn't be taken too lightly. If he is undisgiuised- big give-away and shoot at him but be careful if he returns fire as his revolver DOES hurt. If he is, he can pose a threat only if the team don't check for Spies often and are not wary of their surroundings (teammates running towards you from behind... not changing weapons... that class isn't in your team... your name is on that player... that teammate avoids running into you... he runs away from Pyros... etc...).

Or is an uber slow scout, A medic with no Ubercharge meter or a half healthed heavy with no blood stains...

To be honest.. All these upgrades people suggest are mostly a bit silly. its all about the character of a class. That spy one fits pretty much perfectly but its not even real.. Though it is possible it will be real if the people at valve are impressed.

Big changes arn't gonna happen. Same sort of weapons doing the same sorts of things just more helpful in certain ways.. Take all the pyro weapons. Backburn crits, crits when on fire and a longer range weapon which burns stuff again. Exactly what a pyro wants and fits his character perfectly.

Thats all you really need to think about is what works for the characters and whats fits them as a class and what isn't just going to be complicated or over powered..

I think you nailed it there, Dan. Medic ones too - all about the healing and the uber.

You mean my explosive smoke bomb cigarette?

look back a page or two at gozzers post

i thought this thread was about wild imagination than actualy sensible suggestions O.O

soldier has ability to rocket jump higher but takes more damage

No the scout update... he can quad jump but has to be careful because if he lands anywhere close to the same height as his original he takes enough falling damage to die at 125HP

Actually... that could work

could work, u could use that to get like a mega bunny hop tho
