whats your favorite class? not to play but just from looks and personality? i really like the sniper, think he's cool, and scout and medic.

[VirtuallyReality]

@DeTutnloench that's a tough question because I think they all perfectly fill a personality role to form a complete set. but, I really love the heavy because although he is the overdone character of a large guy who is stupid but loveable, the cleche ends with the fact he isn't gentle with it as well. he is a huggable Russian bear that will crush you and enjoy it. I also love the way the community has characterised him further in fan comics and videos.

now with the new weapons and insane amount of pollys, you points are invalid....sadly :/

[VirtuallyReality]

@massampage hardly invalid, the intention behind its original design hasn't changed, just the direction it went in.

[sarcasmosis]

Good to hear someone that seriously knows the art influences involved with this game state bluntly and with truth that it is much in addition to a hat simulator.

[VirtuallyReality]

@sarcasmosis its a shame when some people spend more time idoling in servers to get hats, or items to craft hats, than they do actually playing this awesome game.

Last line was delivered perfectly.

"killing two snipers with one rocket"

I'm gonna have to use that from now on, instead of the original phrase.

@massampage what are pollys?

[massampage]

@VirtuallyReality i know, the final product has changed drastically, meaning that all you said isn't true because of the changes. Your points made sense when this video was released, but now it just makes me cry. FUKN VALV!
