While I'm overjoyed at the addition, riddled with hope that the new DEUX EX:HR is worth the wait, and definitely have fun playing TF2...
...seeing the Heavy with the cyborg attachments reminded me of that REAL STEEL film coming out. x_x

I was planning on waiting for a sale but, gosh darnit, I think I might bite the bullet.

Curse you effective marketing scheme.

@Rain Greengamingman has a promo. Use the code 20SUM-MERSA-VINGS and get it for $34.

That sniper rifle is insane!

Though the cosmetic only stuff for the heavy is always sadface... the heavy needs a good +damage without losing mobility weapon already!

No he doesn't. He's already a monster in combat if you can play worth a damn.

I'm disappointed the Heavy can't have Sacha and Natasha transform from his arms.

Now THAT would be really cool. I think it might be a little too much work though. I don't know how many new animations they'd have to do for it to work right, but that would really be a nice addition.

@Ospov I just realized that would just turn him into a walking gun turret :P Spies would have to be able to sap him then.

If you just want the items know that they can be crafted in TF2, hence no reason to buy Deus Ex at all.

Just to add, everybody who pre-orders gets the Genuine versions of all the items, which is more valuable for trading purposes than what you can pick up/craft/buy on your own, even if the only difference is that it has "Genuine" in the name.

@564731790 NEW ENGIE ITEMS NEW ENGIE ITEMS YEEEE HAWWW.

Seriously the Engineer is my favorite class and I was getting pretty tired of them not adding any new unlocks for him (fun fact: the Engineer got his first unlockable weapons in the "Engineer update"; there's only been one other weapon for him since. until now.)

Unless you bought the game through ANY OTHER retailer, in which case you're hosed.

Like me. :(

This is what I get for buying it through Green Man Gaming instead of Steam... they've released the CD keys, but for one reason or another they won't work until AFTER this deal expires.

...but then, I got the game for cheaper than Steam purchasers and it'll end up on my Steam account anyway thanks to Steamworks, so it balances out? (Or it would, if I wasn't obsessed with owning everything in TF2 despite the fact I haven't properly played it in months. I know you can craft the weapons, but the hats D:)

I know. It's arguably a testament to what Valve's been able to accomplish that I even CARE that whenever I wind up with these weapons in TF2, they'll be yellow text instead of green, because it's very silly otherwise.

Hopefully when Deus Ex comes out, there'll be the option 'Turn Off horrible and cheap looking orange filter?'

So alongside the weapons I'm now also missing a 20 year old son who aspires to be a photographer??

Wow... Whoever told me that Joystiq was a blog based website which was specialised in gaming news seriously misinformed me...

Well, I got a pre-order when I traded a hat for it. Now I get eight free items.

Profit!

The short circuit can ERASE ROCKETS FROM THE SKY. Nothing else in the game has that power. The Shotgun is meant to be used in close proximity to a Dispenser.

I somewhat regret preordering for the Onlive version, just for the TF2 hats. I guess I'll craft 'em.

The two engineer items are almost totally useless to me, since they drain your metal/ammo pool instead of have their own individual ammo... and metal is damn precious to an engineer :\
Still, the cosmetic parts are pretty awesome.

Thos weapons should give you extra metal. Sriously, I'm waiting for an Engie item that lets you carry more metal.
