My vote goes to the Force-A-Nature and the Flare Gun.

F-A-N 'cause of the knockback, and Flare Gun because it's fun to set those fucking Snipers ablaze.

Not as useful as a shotgun, but its a damn sammich!
How is it not as useful as the Shotgun, the shotgun is terrible for the heavy. And when there are no medpaks or medics around you can heal yourself!

You can't call them achievement weapons anymore because you don't need to unlock any achievements to get them.

The Huntsman broke snipers.
Thank you. The Huntsman takes away from the actual sniping aspect of the Sniper. Sniping is sitting there in one spot FAR AWAY with an ACCURATE gun Shooting people in the face.

The Huntsman however makes you a medieval bowman who actually runs up to shoot people instead of staying back. Plus the streak kinda gives away your position, which makes people kill you. That thing needs to be nerfed hard. It's too powerful and too easy to hit people. I mean come on, I play a Scout a lot, sometimes I get hit by the Huntsman (not the head mind you) Full health and I die. Some of you might say that the charge sniper bullet does that, and yes I know, but you have to CHARGE that you can't just run around a corner click mouse one and kill someone with the sniper rifle.

Also if you think my caps mean I'm yelling, I'm not, I just don't know how to do bold lettering.

I'd actually say the Sniper Rifle is much easier to aim with than the Huntsman - with the Huntsman you have to lead your targets and take them by surprise, because dodging arrows is easy if you can see it coming. Plus, although you're right that a Huntsman-wielding Sniper only needs to charge for a second to kill most people with bodyshots, remember that the Sniper rifle leads to camping SOBs who just sit somewhere you can't possibly see and then just abuse fully-charged bodyshots.

Also you can't have been at full health cause fully-charged bodyshots do 120 damage. So someone else must have hit you first, or my stats are wrong. Probably the second, happens to me too.

You know what's overrated? The Cloak and Dagger. Move 3 inches, wait 5 minutes to move another 3. HOW THRILLING.

[*b] at the beginning of the word/s you want to be in bold, [/b*] at the end of the word/s you want bold; minus the asterisk.

Anyway, the Huntsman isn't so bad, I believe. Yeah, It's over-powered, but it'll be nerfed. The whole point of the new weapons is to give the classes different playing styles, if they just went ahead and made them the same, but better, then all it would do is further the gap between the more easygoing players and the obsessive players.

My favourite upgrade so far must be the Cloak & Dagger. Something funny about sitting still as enemies run around you, suspecting a Spy, blasting everyone that moves just in case they are a Spy. Cloak & Dagger just made me sadistic, even if I am wholeheartedly crap as a Spy...

...Want to see what they'll do with Demoman and Engineer upgrades. I can't even imagine.

I wonder if they'll bring them out together; if Demoman gets something new to blow up Sentries with, the Engineer will probably need some new toys to compensate.

I want a guided grenade launcher, but that would be so overpowered.

Well as I see the Huntsman it makes the sniper an up close kinda guy, sure he's still far away, but still. I don't know maybe it's just me, but I think that sniping is sitting there with an accurate gun shooting things in the face, supporting your team from afar while they go and die.

Also I'm kinda looking forward to the soldier update, of course it's gonna be last but man, I love playing soldier. (thanks for telling me the bold thingy, too)

Well I'm not really saying that the Huntsman is easy to aim. What I'm saying is the the arrow has an abnormally wide hit radius. Body shots do kill a 125 person if they are not shot in the foot, I know this because I ran out of our spawn in Badwater Basin once and some asshole was spawncamping us with the huntsman. Shot once not in the face, dead. sure I was a better sniper then him and shot him in the face (obviously thought I was an r-tard and thought I wouldn't see where the streak came from)but still, the Huntsman needs to either get a charge meter or less damage done.

EDIT: sorry about the double post

The Razorback, combined with the huntsman and the K.G.B
I hate the Force-a-Nature, my mates and I now call it the noob cannon because only noobs use it. It's more overpowered then the demoman.

I would have to say my favorite TF2 Unlockable would be the Ubersaw, simply because it's one of the few true 'upgrades' in the game. I've yet to meet someone who would choose the Bonesaw over the +25%/hit Ubersaw.
I don't like the idea of an "upgrade" item... I'd rather have the weapons be more interesting or just act differently than the basic weapon, instead of just being better, and therefore making players who have the items play better than the players without them. Especially now that weapons are recieved by luck.
Well most of them do just that, don't they? I don't have the Ubersaw, but I'm sure you lose something with it...

My favorite is the backburner. Since I like to move slowly and never use the compressed air blast anyway, this was the perfect match for me. Sneak up, crit crit crit, dead, repeat.

Ah, so that's why I can fully-charge shot another Sniper and he survives, whereas I die. I have an irritating tendancy to hit people in the foot.

Ok then so my stats are obviously wrong. Maybe it could do with a slight damage nerf.

I feel naked if I don't have the flare gun. I don't really like the shotgun because of its crappy long range so I like to be able to piss you off from half way across the map. I'm pretty accurate too.

EDIT: If any of you have played Zelda Oracle of Ages and remember the seed shooter, the flare gun should make the same sound when fired. You know Puh-Tong instead of Pop!

Huh...I guess I never really though about this before...

Probably the C&D, Sandvich, and Jarate for utility, and the KGB, Dead Ringer, and Huntsman for dicking around.

Hate the F.A.N. and Ambassador though. Maybe it's because I'm so used to the Scattergun and Revolver?

I have 3,
The Sandvich - "Don't Run! It's Just Ham!"
Jarate - "Oh no, I've been Jarated
Huntsman - Cmon, whats more satisfying then getting a headshot on a heavy then walking past his corpse pinned to the wall?
