Sandvich: A much needed addition for the solo heavy. Losing the shotgun is tough, especially if you're up against a lot of snipers, but the healing more than makes up for it. It's also very funny!
Natascha: I don't think we should be judging this weapon too harshly yet as we've only had it a few days (and we're mostly killing other heavies right now). While playing as heavy, I don't realy notice the slow effect when attacking others, but I've been caught by it a few times as scout and I definitely feel a big speed reduction. The damage cut means the weapon is only useful at close to short medium range.
K.G.B: An awesome weapon. It's kind of hit or miss, as if you don't score a kill with it fast, you're dead - but if you get that lucky melee kill, you're golden. If there's anyone else nearby, bam, another kill - then another, bam. It's like a chain reaction of pure awesome. I've had about 5 kills in a few seconds with one-hit melee crits thanks to the KGB. They are also enormous and pretty funny looking, and the heavy has a new taunt to go with them.
Arena: Counter-Fortress 2ource. This is a great game mode. The demand for teamwork is very acute and people are not just encouraged but forced to try and play as a team. And the fact that there are usually a lot of spectators means public ridicule will be rampant! This is just what pubs need - people will learn how to play the game fast in arena mode.
I haven't tried out the new maps yet. I'm probably biased because I mostly play heavy, but I think this is the best update yet. I just hope the heavy rush dies down soon and the heavy goes back to being a niche cIass. I not share sandvich!
