Players are going to wonder why they suddenly can't change weapon.<BR/><BR/>If the purpose of it is to prevent the heavy from eating in normal combat, I think using an uninterruptible taunt animation might work better as players are already familiar with the limitations and dangers of pressing the taunt button.<BR/><BR/>Plus you get to spin the camera and watch the new sandwich-eating animation the TF2 guys will have had to make for this.roBurkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05453847497382984686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208890564265615027.post-41488101513670581622008-07-12T01:10:00.000+10:002008-07-12T01:10:00.000+10:00What is the heavy's melee weapon alternate fire?

(http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Heavy)<BR/><BR/>The idea with using this as a melee weapon is that the heavy can at least move and use their fists while they are waiting for the healing cool down to take effect.Andrew Doullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11099404183952971291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208890564265615027.post-49171647501558633882008-07-11T20:21:00.000+10:002008-07-11T20:21:00.000+10:00The sandwich one makes a lot of sense.

It solves the problem of the heavy being too slow to retreat to a health pack like other classes will do with no medic around.<BR/><BR/>I'd tie the healing power to the taunt button rather than the alt-fire, though. Alt-fire is already used on the heavy's fists, and making the taunt do the heal means you won't use it in combat, but you can still retreat round a corner and eat it. It wouldn't make the heavy/medic team any more powerful, as a medic will get you healed up faster than the sandwich anyway.roBurkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05453847497382984686noreply@blogger.com
