Speaking of L4D, we'd like to make our bid for the 10th class: The "Louis." His special skills include 1. being Louis and 2. shouting about pipe bombs. Get it done, Valve.

Hello, The Hunted, and welcome back.
If it is indeed The Hunted, I should warn you all that being Prez (also called "fatty," "lard boy" or "the penguin") is not very exciting. So if that's the case, don't get too excited about a possible tenth class, though knowing Valve they'll probably try to make it more fun than the last go around.

Probably because you're not the award-winning game company?

I'm sure Bill hates TF2, so he's out as a class.

Did they ever release a 360 patch to fix all the current problems?

Get it right guys.. It's ZOEY that shouts about the pipe bombs.

I'm sorry, but I think Zoey has the best lines in L4D. From "Oh no! The Zombies killed God!" to "I can't believe how fast they are. I call zombie bullsh*t on that."
Second to Francis, just because he hates everything.

My fav...playing with a friend, going up an elevator.
Bill talking about how difficult the next section would be.
Zoey: "Game over, man! Game over!"

Zoey's scream is just terrifying. I nearly crapped myself when I first heard it. If you've heard the shriek, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't then you will.
But yeah, I love the elevator lines.
Bill: I know we've been immune so far, but if I start to turn, I want you to shoot me.
Francis: What if your beard just starts to turn.
(I'm sure I don't have the quote exactly right...)

Would Louis' unlockable upgrade for shouting pipebombs be him saying GRABBIN PEELS

1. They are never bringing back VIP. They created Payload to replace VIP since a Payload bomb cart can't grief your team by dying on purpose.
2. The article also hinted at upgraded/replacements for the Disguise Kit and the Sentry since right now both are useless against good players.
3. PIPE BOMBS

1. Except that Payload didn't turn out like Hunted because rather than escort it, most people steamroll everything miles ahead while a single person pushes the actual cart that's far,far behind.
2. Doubt it.Sentries are fine once you learn the art of Offensive Engineering and disguise kits were never meant to be relied on in first place. The last update which allows spies to become invisible indefinitely kinda proves it.
3. Yes. Moar pipe bombs!

Wow that images is from so early in dev. Scout with a submachine gun wut?
Honestly, I'd rather see new unlockables/achievements for other classes first, then new playstyles.

I imagine that PS3 will get screwed again.
Maybe you should remove the "Filed Under Sony Playstation 3" since Valve has made it clear that the PS3 version will never get any love.

pfft the louis sounds remarkably like the current louis, there I said it. What we really need is a 5th character named Wheels to prove that zombie apocalypse is not a big deal for the handicappable.

Funny, I was thinking about something like this today...Left 4 Dead TF2 Crossover. Think Heavy, Medic, Demo, Pyro fighting through Mercy Hospital...
Posted: Jan 21st 2009 1:32PM (Unverified) said
The updates are indeed awesome but there isn't a day in TF2 forum without anyone saying how Natasha is useless or how the Pyro is now overpowered etc etc.
The Pyro and the Medic are the ones who needed an update because playing support is boring and the Pyro was rarely useful also that in open maps the pyro was pwned by rockets or snipers.
The Heavy update was pretty useless except for the sandvich (KGB and Natasha WTH?) the next should be the Engineer and not the scout. Playing as the engineer is pretty boring nowadays.
You have to watch your Sentry all the time because the second you walk outside of the intel room to see what’s is going on “Spy sappin’ mah Sentry”.

Nah. Engineer is fine. A bit boring but practical.
Besides, once you learn offensive engineering and start poping lvl 1 sentries all over the place, the class suddenly gets a new soul.
