The TF2 Guard Dog

[Lou]

I almost cried in fear thanks to your joke. I hate you.

Sorry pal, no joke.

This is a legit as they come.

But that's a joke, they're probably just drawing attention to this community mod. If this is a serious game update, it will be game breaking. MY FAVOURITE SHOOTER RUINED! AUUUUUGH. First MW2, now this.

You need to agree, if there's one company that could make it work, It's Valve.

It's fake, a piece of fan art that someone made for the lols. Suddenly everyone on the steam forums is posting on it and spamming valve with emails.

Because it was on the steam forums yesterday. BEFORE it was put on the site.

 

[JesterOfPuppets]

Oh, if that is true then I am mistaken.

 

[Boxpopper]

I hope they don't go through with it, it looks way to overpowered... And come on at least give the spy a CHANCE.

This actually proves (Or disproves?) nothing. The user might've just gotten hold of the screenshot before Valve posted it.
It raises eyebrows at it's best.

Fake.

Every developer is bound to pull bullshit like this once in a while.

 

[JesterOfPuppets]

That does engender the question of where the letter posted on the TF2 site came from...

I can't believe that valve threw that together in a day

Yes, yes it was. Basically, Valve is saying "Oh, hey, that's not a bad idea. We'll consider it".
It's not certain, and they're not actually promising anything yet. But there is a chance that it might go through.
A chance, not much more though...

 

[Piotr621]

Oh god, please let this be some kind of horrible, horrible joke from Valve. I'm all open for a new class (as long as it fits in neatly with the rest), but THIS?!?

Edit: Just read above posts. Thank goodness...

It doesn't seem likely, and besides the characters don't have the TF2 lighting style, except in the ingame shops.

Besides, you REALLY think valve is going to take an ENORMOUS risk by putting animals in a game where they can be killed?

I must admit though, it's a VERY good shop.

 

[Skwee]

YAY! if this is real it will be pretty cool, however it would be odd for them to update at such a time, with most of the team working on the much unneeded L4D2 and all...

 

[Alexnader]

It's a joke with a counter-joke set up by the tf2 bloggers. The guard dog image was posted by a steam forum member yesterday and seems to have been well recieved by valve.
I very much doubt that there ever will be a tenth class, let alone a weird dog. I mean jars of pee are one thing but how on earth are you meant to backstab a quadruped half your height?

And everyone knows spies come first.

 

[oliveira8]

The first link is a fake...they misspelled BLU and on the damn screenshot it says LICENSE NOT INCLUDED! Really you need a bigger sign? Can you put your brains working for a second?

And on the TF2 blog if you looked at the paper thing and the whole post it says PATENT PENDING, and the paper just talks about how Valve would like to work in the future with whoever did this.

It's not rocket science....

 

[Legion]

It's fake because the writing in the Guard Dog post is so humorless, awful, and riddled with basic grammar / spelling errors. The Photoshopping ain't half bad, though.

Except the picture of the sniper with the dog shows them to be twice as large as they should be. Look to the left of the Sniper, there are rails. Those are normally waist-chest height height.

And Scouts Mom comes second. Period.

I can tell the class page is fake, but if Valve are considering it I wouldn't be suprised if we see something similar to this in the Engineer update.

This guy is right, it IS fake. Sorry to all of you who wished it was real. It's fan made by a guy who wanted to make something fun for "In times of non-updates..."

Fake.

Every developer is bound to pull bullshit like this once in a while.

This guy is also completely right, every developer likes to joke around. And since it's Valve, you should know that they could do something like this.
"Then what about the post on the TF site? omg omg omg!?!?!" They are joking, they thought it would be fun. That's what makes Valve developers giggle ^^
