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!

Email your video game related LOLZ to and if it's good we'll post it!
Did you know the site has over 2,500 video game themed lolz? 
Glad to see they're staying consistent.
[/sarcasm]
Also, I noticed a banner below the comment box that takes me to a site called stuffincleavage.com. Really, Halolz?
We need to get a team on that right away. Who volunteers to scout that site for smut?
Seriously, if they wanna put in nonsense like this, then just put out a TF3 already. -____-
I don't pick the ads! :O
After Half-Life 3
What are you talking about Shawn? These new Items are just as 50's style as teleporting, and cloaking devices!
Oh look, a sniper gun that doesn't suck.
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!
this guy has a point and lets not forget they have a futuristic country called Australia in the 1980's http://www.teamfortress.com/loosecanon/09.html
Remember when TF2 is just about shooting enemies, capturing points and swearing vigorously to the winning team with a single press of 'T'?
P0rn? In MY Halolz!?
Also I have AdBlock so I don't have to see these silly things you mortals call ADs.
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.
actually, the laser weapons recently added do fit in with the 1950's theme in the 'world of tomorrow' sense, as they follow the steampunk/futurepunk style and definitely resemble something you'd see in a '50s or '60s sci-fi flick.
The spy would be -useless- without cloaking and magical paper-face disguises.
It's hard to have an objective-oriented class-based game without a base builder and/or some kind of passive defense system. The sentries work just fine within the game, even if they are stretching the tech a little. Given this is clearly a 1950s in which the technological experimentation of World War II continued in the open by corporations, I'd say it's not completely unreasonable.
The 2050s are still the fifties.
And did I just buy Deus Ex 3 for TF2 weapons?
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*.
Hmm…I am both intrigued and worried.
The word you are looking for is Zeerust. And all of this is justified by one word: Australium.

50's style? That's a bunch of BS….
Medin: Can't talk right now. I think I found a way to cure demo-Jacob's eye condition. No no no. Would cause heart explosion. Must start from scratch.
(I was gonna go with Mordic but you can see the problem for yourself.)
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
What? Their civilization has improved technology too!
Are these…. real?
*Wakes up*
*Checks halolz and sees post*
lol What a great photoshop
…… wait no
NO
*Checks team fortress official site*
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Unfortunately….Yes. I already have the thing on the the Engi's right hand (Hey, it's a new Engi weapon, I don't care if it breaks the style).
Inb4someonemakesthat.
Need need NEEDneed neeed
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?
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.
Stupid TF2 hipsters! They're too cool to shoot at! It's annoying!
Nothing realistic you say?
<img src=http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/d/da/Holy_Mackerel.png>
Is it bad that I want this even though I know it will not happen?
Also, it's Halo Anniversary Edition, not Halo Remastered.
and the scar and metal implant, cant forget that.
Halolz is down for two days…ads have perverse things in them…Shawn runs Halolz…I smell virus that's porn related.
Time traveling wizards did it. But not the one that sent the teams to Degroot.
>Post as Shawn
>Immediate +1s everywhere.
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.
*+1 E-Peen*
Yes, silly ad.
Very wrong.
Have you never held a huntsman?
Well i do say kind sir! It is a quite day in 2for-*DeLorian crashes through the wall* "I AM HERE FROM THE FUTURE. TAKE THESE FUTURE WEAPONS, BITCH."
Damn now I want a pet kangaroo on a leash too.
Wasn't that the Mann-conomy update?
Valve, I am disappoint.
No new Scout stuff AGAIN?
(srsly though, when does scout ever get stuff?)
Not necessarily. They could call it Half-Life: The Next One or Half-Life: The One that Comes After 2.
Uber update…
OBJECTION!!!
Exhibit A: <img src="http://chzheroes.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/superheroes-batman-superman-you-figure-shed-go-to-jack-n-the-box-instead.jpg">
If it were up to ME, she'd be drinking POWERTHIRST.
Why have a pet Kangaroo when you can have a pet Drop Bear?
And sentry guns, and Mediguns, and let's not forget the Sapper.
No, it's just a figment of your imagination. Robin is just trolling us like how Shawn trolls us with Advice Kratos memes.
That doesn't count. EVERYONE got stuff then. I mean, when does he ever get unique, scout only updates? Or even a package deal with other classes? Hell, they called his uber update page hidden!
Who carries around a mackerel wrapped in a newspaper? Let alone smack people with it!
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.
I don't always click on porn ads,
But when I do,
They give me a virus
*looks a second panel*
Everyone strike a futuristic pose
'Cause shit just got real
Half-Life 5?
Engi didn't get stuff with the Uber update.
All of my +1's
Stop complaining, The Engineer didn't get ANYTHING in the Über Update! The Scout got Summer Sale Items and a The #1 Fan set, and poor Engie hasn't gotten a new wrench since Australian Christmas!
that too
No, no. It would make sense considering the Medic and Heavy's relationship…
Overpowered explosions? Michael Bay Presents: Team Fortress 2, The Movie?
They never asked for this.
*where
THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!!!
The answer is simple: money, dear boy.
http://ecdn2.hark.com/images/000/002/078/2078/ori…
What a shame.
Still not as worse as what you can get from unprotected sex, though.
All of them.
Except our ideas? But I want them to accept them!

I'd hope not.

Yes, because we've been saying this for years. Valve can't count to three. That's why I won't be surprised to see L4D1 and 2 episode 1 in the near future or TF2 Episode 1
Half Life 2: Episode 2, Part 2?

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.
ENGAGE SYSTEM RESTORE!
"We've got to have…money!"
hippo crits
I do! :D
And so does my Scout in TF2!
rel="nofollow"> This is my reaction when this happened.
rel="nofollow">
Crippos are such BS.
rel="nofollow">Same
They were using weapons before they were mainstream …. or invented
Sorry Space Core, the bean-counters say we can't afford more Cave Johnson impressions
Well, Engie just got something, so CRY SOME MOORE!
Engie just got stuff dude. The freaking gun that uses metal as ammo that I've been seeing light up the forums.
You… do? Where do you LIVE!?
the gun slinger, I mean at least the ray guns have the excuse of looking like toys from the fifties
that'll teach 'em for hiring Christian rel="nofollow">brutal sniper
Here's some weapon based facts for you. The Scout has 13 non-stock weapons (excluding reskins). The only 2 classes with the same amount or more is the solider with 17 and the demoman with 13. The heavy has 12, sniper has 10, pyro, spy and medic all have 9 and the engineer has 7.
The scout and the demoman both have the most weapon reskins (Both have 3). All other classes have 2 except medic and sniper who have none.
The Shotgun and the new secondary were his first 2 weapons IN 8 MONTHS. Scout got 3 weapons 2 months ago.
I see your point
… okay, I can't keep it up anymore.
NOT SERIOUS GAIS!
Trollface.jpg
Dude. I'm sorry. But…
I'M TROLLING!
I can't believe I actually made you guys believe it so much!
I thought that at first which is why I stayed out of it for as long as I did. Now I feel like a fool.
……….. rel="nofollow">I look quite the fool now, don't I?
Indeed, but you'll just have to… http://i27.tinypic.com/2ecoxew.gif
Mission. Fucking. Accomplished.
CANADA!
Again with the unjustified minus ones! Sasuketoo here was only being informative!
And yes, that IS a spycrab.
*Makes note to move there*
He would have been informative if he had been correct. Here is an image from the official TF2 wiki:

Note that the glove is clearly on his right hand therefore the Engie is not mirrored in the picture at the top.
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.
Actually, this sort of stuff was easily creatable in the 1950s as well so long as someone had the Appl… Appliances necessary to create it! But nothing of the sort was made and certainly then not hidden away and used to help cement any group as the unseen rulers of the world.
I've got a bottle of Drop Bear repellent for sale. It really works and it's totally legit.
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).
FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU…. wait. That's right. i stopped caring about the game months ago (and thus ultimately won.)
Cave Johnson here.
Cake core told me we couldn't afford any more Cave Johnson impressions, but I had a better idea; MAKE MORE CAVE JOHNSON IMPRESSIONS!
That picture needs more lasers.
I say you're lying to cover your ass
Hell no. Scout has tons of shit. Basher, Sandman, Candy Cane, Sun on a Stick, Mackerel, FaN, Popper, Short Stop, Winger, did I miss anything?
They also breached their own particle limit when introducing the Cow Mangler 5000…
