TF2 Style Guidelines

Remember, if you’re going to help design weapons and items for the TF2 universe, it is VERY important that you stick to the 1950’s styled theme of the game! You wouldn’t want to ruin the experience!

I don't see the big deal. This stuff is easily on-par with the technology level of the 50s...

...we're talking about the 2050s right?

Cave Johnson here! Lab boys just informed me of some sort temporal paradox that caused some weapons we were developing to get sent back in time to some parallel dimension. Now, we aren't entirely sure where they went, but the reports say that it's some place full of hats. Now, I don't know about you, but I've never seen a hat use weapons....

Hey! You! HAT. WEAPONS. NOW.

Anyway. If you happen to receive this message and find these weapons, it is highly recommended that you do not touch them, lab boys say they may be poisoned by temporal energy. They might kill ya. Then they'll probably rewind you back to before you were killed so you can be killed again.

Anyway, that's all for now. Cave Johnson, we're done here.

Glad to see they're staying consistent.

Also, I noticed a banner below the comment box that takes me to a site called stuffincleavage.com. Really, Halolz?

What are you talking about Shawn? These new Items are just as 50's style as teleporting, and cloaking devices!

Shepspy: Do you have a minute to talk?

Engineer: Can it wait, I'm going over some calibrations...I got my eye on you, don't think I haven't seen you eye-balling those Plasma-Turrets I just built.

Shepspy: Do yoy have a moment, Sniper?

Sniper: Oi, Spy, just the man I was looking for. Did I evah tell you about the time I killed fifty Scoutarians with one Jarate and my bare-hands? I didn't know a body could have so much blood, then again I'd never beat so many people to death with their own ribcages before. That's all I wanted to say, talk more later, Shepspy.

Shepspy: Heavy, how're you doing on controlling that agression?
Heavy: Heavy wuz just theenking about de time he and sandvich ripped out puny Blurians spine with teeth. AHAHAHAHA! GOOD TIMES!
Shepspy: Heavy *Nod*.
Heavy: Shepspy *Nod*.

Yeah, I said that the grordbort weapons fitted because of retro and steampunk styles. I stand by that. But These, don't fit in the slightest.

Even a pink minigun that shot hats would fit better xD

Yea I kinda realized this when they put in rocket lazors... Don't mind the sentries and cloaking spies though, those were even in the history books. Hitler? He died from a backstab. The reason they held out at the Alamo? They had sentries.

Guys, guys, relax. Sure, it breaks the 50s feel of the game, but really, it could be worse, I mean-

...

Why does the Engineer have new weapons? THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN, VALVE. ENGIE'S THE UNFAVORITE. YOU AND SOLDIER HAD A PACT!

Remember when TF2 is just about shooting enemies, capturing points and swearing vigorously to the winning team with a single press of 'T'?

Time traveling wizards did it. But not the one that sent the teams to Degroot.

Don't forget the Grordbort's pack.

Hey, at least it's only because of promotionals, right? It's only because of the WETA agreement and because of the new Deus Ex.

...Engie has a Mega Buster?

Or is it a Medic Buster.

OK Valve, we get it, TF2s your little commercialist bitch. Now, you see those guys sitting there in the "Balance and Gameplay" room? Let them have some say in what happens, or just sell them to someone else (Platinum maybe?) so they can work on a game that doesnt run on hats and overpowered explosions.

Technically they're all clones taking part of a combined Aperture Science and Black Mesa training simulation for genetically advanced troops established in a faux 50's world to keep them from realizing that despite being the same in every way to their blu or red counterparts.

Also, isn't TF2 set in 1968? That's Fallout 3 that's a 1950s motif.

Stupid TF2 hipsters! They're too cool to shoot at! It's annoying!

Poor Valve, your opinion is invalid. Just keep updating and except our ideas. That's a good boy. Now bring me the new Counter-Strike and I'll give you a treat.

If I got a dollar for every time i got killed by those new weapons, I would have enough to buy them myself...
And everything else in the Mann Co. store...
And any other future items Valve will release.

What? Their civilization has improved technology too!

Valve, I am disappoint.
No new Scout stuff AGAIN?

The 2050s are still the fifties.

And did I just buy Deus Ex 3 for TF2 weapons?

They also breached their own particle limit when introducing the Cow Mangler 5000...
Reply
That picture needs more lasers.
Reply
Honestly I was pissed when they put the cowmangler 5000 in which obviously is not TF2 (I mean at the very least have it steampunk like the gunslinger).
Reply
Yeah okay that's great and all but HOLY SHIT NEW ENGIE SHOTGUN!!!!!!!! Now I can finally use a shotgun that fires more than 3 shots!
