The unofficial TF2 idea thread.

[copulatingduck]

you have to make the model too

[PyroZombie]

Yeah, I'm trying to put that out of my mind until I've come to that hurdle.

[EarthlingJohn]

Okay, heres my idea for spy.

Sherlock Spy,

Sherlock Holmes had worked for the french, and even had a french uncle, even though he is classically portrayed with a British accent. The idea of Sherlock was actually inspired by some frenchmans work aswell. This was the starting ground for my idea. Then i looked to those Sherlock Cliche Items. What are some of those?

Deerstalker Hat and Smoke pipe.

A name that could be Given for the hat? Reerstalker's Essentials. You would have a pipe in your mouth instead of a cigar, and in the disguise kit, you would obviously have tobacco pack instead of cigars.

What else is Sherlock Holmes remembered for wearing?
A jacket Cape thingey

Worn as a misc, like how the pyro is getting a bow.

Now,  to get past fashion, I move onto more sherlock cliches.

Sherlock was a detective who inspired forensic science, gathering clues from the smallest details. Now spy obviously is not him, for he used this skill to solve crimes, not start them. Sherlock could tell where people were going, or where they could be from just looking at the scene of the crime, to find the culprit and bring him to justice. The spy is going to do the same thing, except whoever he finds, is dead, and getting a minicrit If your knife doesnt get him first. But what item could let you do this?

cue the cliche detective magnifying glass


When you take out this sapper replacement, you scope in, sort of like the sniper except not as drastic. You cant pick up any ammo with it out, but if you click on a weapon that dropped from a corpse, or even just an enemy corpse, you then get an outline of them through the walls, like the cart outline. you also get minicrits on them. takes about 2 seconds to work on a corpse, 3 for a weapon drop/buildable. No more sapper for an effective hunting alternative.

Onto the next,

This isn't a sherlock holmes cliche, but i have watched a couple movies where police/detectives little pocket sketchbook, and they draw a picture of the culprit. Hence, the next idea

The Culprit Chaser


This allows for a more advanced disguise. You can walk through enemies, and don't show signs of being hurt/bleed/burn when checked.
sounds like a direct upgrade, but here is the con. You can only disguise when you take a couple seconds to "sketch" 1 person. You can only disguise as those you have sketched, with more time on a longer distance sketch. (almost instant on close range, 5 seconds mid, 10 seconds long). You can only sketch while invisible when you are close ranged. You get minicrits on the person you disguise as. When you sketch the disguise, it keeps the name, so you will have to constantly update your sketches.

Thats the con, along with everybody minicritting you.

You get a super disguise for super damage on you.

more ideas for this in a bit.

this sounds very familiar to the fake dog updates scent tracking thing

they are cigarettes not cigars

I support this idea, it will result in everyone pulling out bad rage spy now instead of bad rage pyro.



Then I get to have a fuckload of fun.

I wish they had made the fake spy unlockable for the sapper real, it couldn't be knocked off but did no damage to the gun, and would fall off after like 5 seconds.

Much more team work oriented to have that combined with a rush in on the gun.

[Radio Raheem]

man spys are annoying just remove them from the game

[beep beep diglett]

5 seconds of completely disabled sentry is ridiculous, you would never need to uber to take out a sentry farm

That was my fav button ever.


Almost as cool as walking around unscoped as sniper with a full charge shot.

I would be 100% behind something like that, perhaps change taunt to a full length dance if you're on point, or the survivor of a Cart bombing.
