  • Original Uber update Tomislav: Debatable concerning whether or not it was overpowered

    Tomislav demonstrated in this video: Balanced weapon, a side-grade as all weapons should be.

    Proposed Tomislav: Absolute garbage. Only has Silent spin-up?

    VALVe, stop being stupid with TF2.

  • @qwerty222999

    Since when is the heavy an ambusher?

    The heavy is that what would be called "tank". He can take a lot of damage because he needs to distract the enemy team from his own and breakthrough enemy lines, therefore the "silent killer thing" is absolutely useless.

    I found (i never buy stuff) this weapon today and it su*ks. Every other heavy with a Minigun will whup your "backside".

    AND:

    5$ for this weapon is overprized. A minigun is for free and as good as / better than this weapon.

  • With only silent killer, this weapon will be TOTALLY. POINTLESS.

    I mean - it happens too rarely that you ambush someone "enough" to kill him if you dont have a faster spinup time. And with such a drawback as slower firing speed, this weapon will be useless 99.9% of the time.

    Valve's way:

    Nerf the good weapons (Tomislav, Sandvich), leave the OP weapons alone (Backburner, Enforcer)

  • I only just got this thing, and now they're gonna nerf it again?

  • Wait, they gonna nerf it...AGAIN?!

    VALVE, YOU BLOODY IDIOTS!

    Youre making good weapons TOTALLY pointless...

    NERF THE GODDAMN FUCKING BACKBURNER FIRST!

    PS: Sorry for caps, but thats worth it!

  • Seriously, they're gonna nerf this?? NERF THE FUCKING ENFORCER DUMBASSES

  • +40% faster spin up time

    20% slower firing speed

    Heavy screams 90% louder

    silent killer:no barrel sound

  • I think it is the best minigun in TF2

  • @StevePlayMinecraft IZ NOT POSSIBLE

  • Still using sasha its the best minigun no drawbacks

  • So all in all, just like what happened to the sandvich, this thing deserves to be nerfed.

    You people complaining about the sandvich nerf don't know anything about game balance, sorry but that's how it is.

  • You people don't seem to get why a minigun isn't supposed to get faster spin up time. The original minigun forces the heavy to anticipate battle and be aware of his surroundings. This weapon removes then need to do that since the spin up is almost instant. In other words, it's takes the heavy out of his original role and makes him too easy, which is what unlocks shouldn't do. Stop using crutch weapons and use the vanilla mingun. I can only agree with vanilla removing the faster spin up time.

  • "And this is my new weapon. New weapon is good."

  • Thank god this is getting nerfed. It'll be as useless as Natscha, which means noob heavy's will actually have to use Sasha/Iron Curtain, which takes more skill and planning than this.

  • Best primary for Heavy IMO

  • Isn't it gay if Heavy wants to kiss a minigun that has a guy's name?

  • @Sharx64 Nope

  • A recent TF2 Beta update got rid of the faster spin-up speed, meaning the only plus side to the Tomislav is the silent spin-up.

    Yeah, and the heavy still screaming "NUUUUUU WEEEAAAPOOONN!!!!" every time you use it doesn't exactly make that worth while. Just lower the firing speed a little more if you want to nerf it, Valve, like by an additional 10% or something.

  • This weapon seems to be...

    *sunglasses*

    ...quite HEAVY.

    YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH­HHHHHH!

  • Kiss me

  • In the Beta they decided to remove the Tomislav's faster spin up time...and also remove the less health drawback. Really? Oh c'mon on the best thing about the Tomislav was the silent faster spin up time. So now the only good thing about this weapon in the beta now is the silent spin up time?

    Valve please don't listen to the people who claim this weapon is overpowered. Just because this weapon has a faster spin up time doesn't make it overpowered.

  • @Michaeldragon800 When it had 75% spin time it was OP for sure.

    Now,at 40% spin up time I find it annoying but weapon,that needs no further nerf.

  • wan't the heavies main weakness besides being generally slow the fact that he has to wait about a second before he can attack? then the tomislav comes and says "actually fuck that"

  • Thanks to a recent nerf in the beta, the new(useless) tomislav will look like this:

    Silent Killer: No barrel spin sound

    20% slower firing speed

    God damnit, SPUF.

  • @SandmanD3 That doesn't sound useless at all. Weaker? Yes. Useless? No.

  • @SandmanD3 Nah if Valve will imply this into real TF2,no shit Tomislav will be worth nothing,silent spin is somewhat cool but this will eventually lose practically to all miniguns

  • Comment removed

  • @SandmanD3 The Tommy really needs a nerf, but that's going too far. Maybe a slight damage nerf would be better?

  • @SandmanD3 And then when they nerf it moar:

    Silent Killer: No barrel spin sound

    99% slower firing speed

  • @SandmanD3 oh please no ,valve; they nerfed the sandvich, they change the trade system, and now they want to change the tomislav. thats too much.

  • @vichogonzalez15 I know. I was crushed the first time I threw my sandvich on the ground, hoping for a quick heal, and having absolutely nothing happen. Now they're making the most unique primary weapon for the heavy a piece of shit...

  • Comment removed

  • @gunhaver1000 It looks like Valve doesn't care about the community's opinion. we are telling them to make sandvich the same as before and they didn't do anything.

  • @luizmw2

    Sandvich needed the nerf.

  • @MrDeePay why?

  • @luizmw2

    Heavy has the highest HP pool and damage output in the game, is a prime candidate for a Medic to heal (effectively giving him 450 health). Being able to essentially regain 150 of his health at will was just ridiculous.

  • @MrDeePay Heavy is weak and terrible because he is so slow, while his damage output is high it's easy to run from and rockets/stickies a sniper headshot or a backstab which are easy to do on any heavy. The sandvich drop heal was never OP since heavy is usually instakilled anyway, if anything needs a nerf it's demo or scout followed by solly because of their high damage output and with a medic can constantly rocketjump for speed and have more hp as a demo.

  • @Arnie1000351

    You must play against some horribad Heavies if you came to that conclusion.

    Not to mention some really good Soldier/Scouts/Demos.

  • @MrDeePay No, but heavy's are slow they can't keep up to any class literally every single class can escape a heavy unless at close range with their minigun already spun up, they also can't do anything about snipers at long range except hide and are easily stabbed by spies because of their slow speed and the fact that they can't hear much when firing their minigun and have to look in the direction they're shooting. Also most of the people I play with have 500+ hours.

  • @Arnie1000351

    Amount of time played =/= overall skill level. Some players can get really good really fast and some just suck all the time. Play against actual better Heavy players.

    This gun also removed a core weakness of the class (being loud and prone to ambushes) at a negligible cost.

  • @MrDeePay Heavy is limited highly for many reasons, a good heavy needs to stick with his team or get the jump on other players to do anything against actually good players. I have played with a few good heavy players which did well but, I think they could've done alot better as spy or scout.

  • @MrDeePay You saying that makes me want to rape you

  • @SandmanD3 Lol at useless. That thing made the heavy immune to ambushing. Without the faster spin up it will now be good for taking people by surprise but won't be the broken mess it currently is.

    If you don't know how silent spin up is very valuable (hoping for the sound glitch fix in the future), you're beyond any help.

  • @SandmanD3 Tomislav with less spin-up time is OP, as it is now it kills faster than Sasha in short-range. In the same amount of time as Sasha on mid-range. And slower than Sasha at long-range (who would ever try to kill on lon-range as Heavy?)

    In addition, the Tomislav has silent spin making it an excellent ambush weapon. This is on top of it being great with the decreased spin-up time.

    On top of that, Tomislav has icnreased chance to win 1v1 against everything.

    It needed a nerf.

  • @qwerty222999

    BUT, situations where you ambush people for "long enough" to kill them without faster spinup happen too rarely for Heavy to make Tomislav any useful in its new form...

    Thus, it will be utterly pointless and weak, because only silent spinup doesnt make enough difference, considering its firing speed...

  • @DarkDXZ It's firing speed penalty make no difference when you use it in close areas. If you ambush as you are supposed to with this weapon, enemies will average react after 0.5 seconds, giving you 90% to win if they don't get away. The firing speed only takes effect when you go head on head with other players which isn't the point with this weapon.

  • @qwerty222999

    It still happens too rarely to use it effectively.

  • Tomislav can turn targets into gold statue. But why this feature is in this gun?

  • @desmondli007 since when can it do that

  • Every single f2p uses this god damn mini I swear.

  • @DatHarry Because it pwns

  • @SparkTa100 Do you even know it's stats? It's terrible compaired to the original minigun. I bet the majority of people use it because it "looks cool"

  • @DatHarry I dont use it because it "looks cool". I use it because i KNOW how to use it,and in good hands,this gun is powerful or even OP.

  • @DatHarry i am not f2p but i use it but i do rarely play as heavy because its so slow i dont even notice the downside but the faster spin up time is usefull

  • You people should watch this, if you think that the Tomislav is weaker than the Minigun

    watch?v=01Ntu0XdbMU

    Tomislav is only weaker at long range and against multiple enemies

  • 0:34 which medic dies first?

  • @SuperRetrodude They both die simultaneously, that's the point.

  • Comment removed

  • Which Minigun is better if i had to choose only one Minigun?

    Brass Beast,or the Tomislav?

  • @SoldierNo257 Brass Beast is good for defense, Tomislav is good for offense.

    Overall, though, I think Tomislav is better because it makes for a more mobile, flexible Heavy.

  • @SergeantSargeMcFly Oh okay,Thanks for the help!

  • @SoldierNo257 i prefer the brass beast, its good for defending points and things but i will admit it does suck on payload offence, you can't keep up with the cart because of reduced movement speed

  • @SoldierNo257

    The default minigun is still the best minigun by a large margin.

    The Tomislav is good in 1on1 situations against scouts and other light classes, but it makes you vulnerable when fighting other heavies, soldiers and demomen.

    The Brass Beast takes ages to spin up and reduces your mobility too much. A stationary heavy is an easy target.

  • i want someones opinn, which should i get... brass beast or this?

  • @CodFishay Depends. This is an offensive weapon, the brass beast is a defensive weapon. Having both is a good idea.

  • @CodFishay The stock Minigun.

  • The weapon may be silent but the Heavy is not

  • Silent spin up... How then would u tell of its ready to fire??

  • @ColaKnight If it's down and pointed at the enemy, that's how fast it is.

  • i have named it "the op minigun of pwnsome"

  • the fov model is pretty weird since you can see Heavy's hand going through the handle

  • Strange Tomislav. Nuff said.

  • I ... HATE ... this gun. I HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE.

  • @willzahk then you are a FAG! FAG FAG FAG FAG FAG FAG FAG FAG FAG FAAAGOT!!!

  • @evilkiller108 Explain.

  • @willzahk this weapon is awsome

  • @evilkiller108 Your opinion, man.

  • @willzahk Your point?

  • @KageKiller245 Nothing.

  • @willzahk Really? I expected you saying the word "hate" 73 times to mean something.

  • @KageKiller245 I just expressed my opinion. You see, when you regularly go to Crit servers, and you attempt to be the only person who actually bloody scopes, you'll find out that a trigger-happy Critical Tomislav-using Heavy is about 3 steps from you and eager to imitate Swiss cheese on your face.

  • @willzahk Then you did mean something. It's not nice to lie, you know.

  • @KageKiller245 Eh. 

  • It really ticks me off how most Heavies equip this, since it's not that great of a weapon in my opinion. Seeing how most Heavies rarely do ambushing and would rather shoot anything in sight, the point of this weapon is pretty much ruined. And plus, the sound of the player rolling down the gun is still hearable, so if someone was really listening carefully they could find them.

  • @randommadness12

    First, the silent part, isn't the main focus of this weapon. People like it because it has fast spin-up. Contrary to popular belief, I find the slower firing speed defect useful because it conserves ammo, where in some maps ammo can be scarce/stolen by teammates.

  • @Najzeko I was implying this weapon was used for ambushing, and the fast spin-up makes use to that. And interesting observation right there, I never thought having a slower firing speed would have such a use. But honestly, I use my ammo as Heavy wisely so I never run out of ammo, or at least that easily.

  • I'm also more of a Tomislav guys like other people here, it's perfect for ambushing and the "spin-up" (because nothing actually spins lol) is almost twice as fast, so if you're the ambushed you may counter-attack quickly.

    The slower fire of rate doesn't mean much since it still deals massive damage, unless you're being attacked by another Heavy (if he has a Brass Beast you're pretty much dead).

  • HEAVY: KISS ME

    TOMISLAV: LATER

  • I don't really see why so many people say this gun is so overpowered. It lets you start firing about a half second faster, sure, but after that half second is up you are statistically worse than a heavy using any of the other guns.

  • the two medic's died at the same time?

  • @karcus0 No, the one killed with the Minigun dies first, since the Tomislav has a slower rate of fire.

  • Strange version pl0x.

  • Hmm. Funny little bit of trivia, the reason why mini-guns have 6 or so barrels and spin is because if it was just one barrel ( the Tomislav here) the shaft would overheat and melt.

  • @TheEmeraldTroll Well, it does shoot slower. It might not make any difference though. Thanks for the trivia though, and why am I trying to figure out something in a game...

  • i kill more people with this than the orginal minigun it's perfect the way it is. it's not garbage no it's more accurate with the slower firing speed atleast it "feels" more accurate

  • Am i seriously the only one who isnt even slightly bothered by this weapon?

  • I couldn't make it out, did the Minigun or the Tomislav kill the Medic faster??

  • @undrtakr900 they killed him at the same time showing that the slower spin up time vs faster break about even, how ever the faster spin up team is better for dealing with demo knights

  • @undrtakr900 actually, the minigun killed him faster, just by half a second though

  • NUUUUUUUU WEEEEEPOOOUUUNNGGHHH!

  • Me: Tomislav has no spin-up sound... Heheheheh...

    Heavy: I am Heavy Weapons Guy. And I have new Weapon.

    (Enemy Spy hears this)

    (Spy Backstabs me)

    Me: -_-

  • @suspensewriter2009 Great job, Valve. -_-

  • According to nerds firing 9 bullets per second instead of 10 is too much of a downside and not worth having a faster, silent spin up.

  • @oiramldx I liked it when it was OP as fuck with 80% faster spinup, it's also glitched where it keeps making the firing sound also.

    They halved the buff to 40%, why not halve the downside to 10%?

  • @oiramldx Kids, learn math -_-

  • @Alimentasable Public castration is a good idea.

  • @oiramldx If you jump and spin up with the default minigun it's really no different to the tomislav. If 2 heavys faceoff together, unless at point blank with both guns unspun, the minigun will always win. Only noobs use the tomislav, theyre easy kills when I play heavy.

  • @oiramldx It was nerfed by furries that thought it's overpowered because "the spin up is too fast" but it wasn't.

  • @oiramldx wtf?!

  • I don't think the faster spin up time is worth the -20% firing speed, a good Heavy spins his gun up BEFORE he gets to open fields or aroung corners, -20% may not be much but it makes you weaker than all other heavies and that's not worth it.

  • @TheBritishPlatypus except when dealing with demo knight and tricky pyros, I'll take that faster spin up time.

  • people,the spin up change is in order of game balance.Fuck everyone who thinks the Tomislav is now crappy.Because they are noobs and want the overpowered spin up again.

  • @luizmw2 Here's an idea: If the noobs don't like it, then they should just stick to the other miniguns and deal with it.

  • dat model clipping

  • Instead of slower firing speed, they should just make it shoot one or two less pellets per shot. Would it make a difference? Maybe, maybe not, I wouldn't know since I don't balance weapons. But either way, this is the best Mini in game.

  • Tomi Medic goes down a split second after the Sasha Medic. I'm sticking with the Tomi.

  • It costs $320,000 to fire this weapon... for twelve seconds.

  • Valve makes overpowered weapon

    Fans: ZOMG AWESUM

    Valves makes it VVVVVVEEEEEERRRYYY slightly slower

    Fans: WUT VALF U SUCK THIS WEAPON IS NOW USELESS WORST WEAPON EVRRRR!!!!!!!!!11111!!!

    Oh my fucking God.

  • @SuperAwesomeTiago I agree with you.

    People who like overpowered weapons are NOOBZ

  • @luizmw2 whats wrong with it

  • @SuperAwesomeTiago the same thing happened to the shortstop.

  • It WAS OP before the nerf, I'll admit that

    But now it's fucking useless

    The solution: make the walk speed while "spun up" higher, it will by no means be OP but it won't be the useless piece of garbage it is now

  • @Andthatswhymacssuck -20% slower firing speed? That's garbage? Jesus fucking christ man, it still puts down most enemies in a second or two of direct fire. Same as Sasha and the other Minis. Get over yourself.

    And it wasn't OP before the nerf. It was perfectly fine. People just complained a lot, and made it out like it created am imbalance (hint: it didn't), so it was nerfed from fine to... oh yeah, still fine.

  • OP

  • Hah, one bastard tried to pull off an overprice off me. Something like 2 rec + weapons. Just after I cancelled the trade and died I got Tomislav as a drop.

  • heavy have tomislav => he's economical heavy gunner =))

  • i wish there was a damage/moving speed bonus.

  • the stock minigun is superior to this weapon and all the other miniguns

  • How to get this weapon ?

  • @mrmudzahedini Drop, shop, trade or craft from a brass beast and 2 reclaimed.

  • @mrmudzahedini 2 reclaimed metal and the brass beast. Or buy it.

  • @mrmudzahedini I got it from a trader for just 1 scrap metal. Best bargain I've got yet.

  • This gun has poor accuracy

  • tomislav to minigun:

    minigun: .8 sec spin up, 10 bullets per second, spin up sound

    tomislav: .5 sec spin up, 9 bullets per second, no spin up sound :/

  • This weapon decreases max health by 50 so you only have 375 health on over heal so this weapon pretty much sucks against other heavies. At least not as many heavy noobs will use the weapon and return to the good ol sasha

  • @wubbinus That's only in the beta. Although I'd love to see that implemented to get everyone off this gun.

  • Minus 50 hp now :(

  • @prototypeS88 Only in beta.

    This means that mixing it with the Warrior's Spirit would give the Heavy a total of 230 max health. Almost to Soldier's level.

  • @prototypeS88 Valve only does max health penalties to melee weapons.

  • MY GOD HOW DO I HATE THIS FUCKING NOOB WEAPON

  • about the insult "shhh...Sasha is asleep..."

    why he calls every weapon "Sasha"?

  • @luizmw2 Everygun is Sasha

  • i dropped 2 of these in 7 days, im so lucky

  • awesome weapon,awkward fire rate.

  • How can slow, fat man sneak up on u? -.-''

  • "Shhh.....Shasha is asleep"

    -Heavy

  • Me: Alright with this silent weapon spin-up I can ambush teams no problem! Heavy: I HAVE NEW WEAPON!!!!! (opposing team hears this) Me: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  • @pikminprime02 they should nerf heavy.

  • @pikminprime02 that made me laugh my ass off

  • noobcannon

  • In Soviet Russia, Tomislav Heavy ambushes YOU!

  • @useraccount333 I don't get it.

  • @MiracleFassad

    The joke comes from Yakov Smirnoff, a comic from the Soviet Union (when it still existed). He is most well known for his "Russian Reversal" jokes, comparing life in the United States to life in the Soviet Union. For example, "In America, you can always find a party. In Soviet Russia, the Party can always find you!"

    My take on the joke is that the Heavy's Tomislav is silent until he starts firing, allowing him to do some ambushing for a change (Continued on next comment)

  • @useraccount333 Well I knew what the Soviet joke was, yeah. I didn't really know how you were using it though

  • @MiracleFassad

    (Continued from last comment) allowing him (the Heacy) do some ambushing for a change, as opposed to people always ambushing the Heavy. And also because the Heavy happens to be Russian. I thought it was funny.

  • @useraccount333 Thanks for taking time out of your day to explain your joke.

    

  • Comment removed

  • Kinda hard to tell when the medic dies because he just leans on the pole behind him from the push of the bullets.

  • even heavy agrees at 0:22

  • Looks like this weapon had 75% faster spin-up before

  • I favor Brass Beast if I'm on defense, on attack, I switch it to Tomislav.

  • OP as shit.

  • @Spartan4521 How?

  • Tomislav looks like a giant thompson

  • @jack0b220 It is. Look at the wiki page about it.

  • @jack0b220 Really?

  • @deminidze It is.

  • sooo overpowered

  • @MrSaboteur1000 it was when the charge up was 0 secs instant. Now its been nerfed
