In the Future, There is Only Team Fortress 2

[Hubernator]

Okay my brother managed to get some keen eyes from Steam for the popular game Team Fortress 2. What he's uncovered is, well, beyond awesome.

The video:

 

I for one will be getting this when it becomes available :P

Hey..... I'm the one who invented this! Conceptually anyways.

I started several threads a year or two ago working on this idea over at the FPSBanana mod making community and asked for some talented guys who knew what they were doing to implement it.

 

The ONLY differences between what I see in the video and my idea is that mine had the Heavy as an Assault Cannon Terminator with a Powerfist instead of a Devastator because it simply makes more sense, and my Spy was a Callidus Assassin (but I actually don't know what they did, because I don't see a Spy in the video).

 

 

I'm soooo happy to see this :)

Team Fortress 2 and 40k are just about the most perfect combination of things you could possibly put together, aside from 40k+PlanetSide....

I love TF2.... Such a perfect game. In fact, I'm going to go play TF2 as soon as I get off the B&C.

 

 

 

EDIT: I just watched the video again. It's kind of ridiculous that I've played so much TF2 that I can tell what every class is more by their posture and movements than by what they actually look like and what weapon they carry....

Here's my FPSBanana thread outlining this idea from 2 years ago!: LINKY

Warhammer 40,000 mod

Posted by Lord Zypher, 2 years ago, 0 comments

So at some point while playin TF2 I realized that you could make a perfect Warhammer 40k mod for TF2 using Space Marines.

 

 

Heavy would be a Terminator with an Assault Cannon(Sasha), Storm Bolter(Natasha), Power Fist(Fists), Chainfist(KGB), Shotgun,.....and a Sandvich?

 

Soldier would be a Devastator with a Missile Launcher(Rocket Launcher), combat knife,shotgun.

 

Pyro would be a Tactical Marine with a Flamer(Flamethrower) or a Meltagun(Backburner), a shotgun, combat knife,Inferno Bolt launcher(Flare Gun).

 

Medic would be an Apothecary with a combat knife for the Bone Saw, a Reductor to replace the Uber Saw, let him keep the Needle Guns as they are (because they're awesome) and make the Medigun and Kritzkrieg come from his arm-mounted Narthecium kit.

 

Sniper would be a Scout Sniper with a combat knife and Auto-Pistol.

 

Scout would be a Scout with a Combat Shotgun, Bolt Pistol and machete.

 

Engineer would be a Techmarine with Servo Arm(Wrench), Shotgun, and Bolt Pistol.

 

Spy would be a Callidus Assassin. Polymorphine(cigar case), EMP Bomb(sapper), C'tan Phase Knife(Butterfly Knife), Neural Shredder(Pistol), Stealth Suit(cloaking device).

 

Demoman would be a Tactical Marine with a Bolter(Pipe Bombs), attached Auxilliary Grenade Launcher(Stickies), and a combat knife.

 

Pretty simple to work out who would be what.

Once you have the models just slap an Ultramarines skin on for the Blu team and a Blood Angel skin on for the Red Team.

Or you could go and make Chaos Marine models and have it be Ultramarines (Blu) vs Word Bearers (Red) for a classic (and logical) battle.

 

Then the Sentry Guns could be remodeled into Heavy Bolter Turrets for level 1, Twin-Linked Assault Cannons for level 2, and Twin-Linked Assault Cannons with a Cyclone Missile Launcher for level 3.

I bet you aren't the only person who had this idea, though you've clearly put some thought into it :) I haven't owned the game long yet I know the basics. However Heavy as a Terminator with an Assault Cannon, as much as it looking impressive, might be impraticle since he'll be monster tall, wouldn't fit through the doorways and would be shot even faster by the Sniper :P It would however make sense; big guy, big gun, slower than normal, large target, etc. However explaining the difference between Sacha and Natascha would be very difficult since Assault Cannons don't have different rounds :P

What's your Steam ID?

Mine is either "Ieyke" or "Lord Zypher". I can never remember which is my actual ID and which is just my current name.

I can help you work towards achievements and we can bring the wrath of The Emperor to TF2 :devil:

 

 

I suspect you should search for "Ieyke" to add me on Steam.

I like your thinking ;) pretty sure mine is "j_kaine" or "Juvieus_Kaine", something of that degree.

It's the second one ;)

 

Funny, I'm a BLU Uber-Soldier and you're a RED Uber-Heavy. Somehow fits very nicely with our B&C avatars ;)

Certainly does :P Mines point of preference since I like red, yours being because of the Ultras (haters gonna hate).

 

At least we know the vid is good eh? :P
