Show Trial: Anyone else picturing two Heavies having a quick draw contest? Or even more amusing, a Heavy vs Pyro, in taunts to the death?

[Torven]

As we are getting down to the day before, I just wanted to remind the local heavies:

Photostroika: Provide an enemy with a freezecam shot of you taunting while invulnerable.

Extended beatings will ensue, the kind about which great sagas will be written.

[TTHREAZ]

Consider it payback, Mr. I'm-Off-Needling-Someone-While-You-Die.

[Portland_BEER]

ubers everywhere will be lost in vain heavies taunting...

can an uber heavy kill taunt count as two achievements???????

[(ferret)]

Straying away from the Heavy achievements for a second, I was browsing the Steam forums and found this overhead shot of Steel (Plus strategies!) for anyone unfamiliar with the map. Thought it would be good to post it here before the update comes so everyone can be prepared.

Almost no one knows that a medic can crouch jump onto E before C is captured. It requires perfect timing but it is possible.

I know it...just can't do it. It does make me wonder if an engineer's teleport pad would give any other classes enough height to barely make it. I doubt it, but it would be an interesting experiment to see where the best places to jump from are.

[Reipin]

Yep it's a freakign sandwich.

I hate valve.

[Tarrock]

I told you guys what they were a week ago. They got leaked last wednesday.

[Reipin]

I know they did. I didn't even get them from you, but I was holding out hope regardless.

This is even worse then before because it looks like you actually need to stand still for four seconds...

This should be an instant heal with a cooldown at the worst, not 4 seconds of no weapon and standing still. I'd rather die and respawn with full health and ammo.

[Tickles]

I don't get the sandvich. There is usually a medic around and even med packs, why would a heavy want to sacrifice himself, lose a weapon for 4 seconds just to gain back 120 health? Right now, the sandvich seems pointless, but will have to see how it plays out.

[Stevo]

Yeah, the whole sandwich thing seems pretty stupid. I guess we'll have to try it to see why they think it's a good idea...

[Tarrock]

It'll be useful as hell.
Dunno how many times I've been stuck waiting around a dispenser for 30 seconds waiting to be fully healed, with the sandvich it'll only take around 10. 12 seconds to be fully healed is better than a 30 second walk or 20 second wait for teleporting. Great for defense, not so much for offense unless you can get behind some cover.

Everyone will replace their shotguns, the shotguns not even really used that much except when you run out of ammo.

Engineer might be next update. He was drinking the beer in the video in meet the engineer.

[Tickles]

I can't see it having any use for an offensive heavy, to much going on, not enough time to sit and eat. Defensive, not sure, sitting and eating waiting for the next wave is a spies dream. Or any class for that matter, anyone can rush in and kill the heavy in that 4 secs he's eating his lunch.

[Torven]

Alright, despite having very few visuals, I don't think I have laughed as hard at any of these videos as I did at Meet the Sandvich. Also, did anyone else notice they changed the copyright for this one
