With the new Overdose speed buff, the Medic is able to close into melee range with every class except Scout in a matter of seconds, hell it even discourages you from distance combat with the damage penalty. And it came with the Quick-Fix, a fast charge up rate and a healing effect that doesn't reward sticking on patients? It's so obvious. And let's not forget the Solemn Vow, a straight Bonesaw buff that allows you to judge your prey from a distance before swooping in for the kill.

If this isn't a melee class I don't know what is.

So we've probably all tried out at least some of the new weapons now, and most of us probably went for or found different ones, so I want to hear everyone's opinion.

Here is what I've tried so far:

Atomizer

I'm almost positive this is going to become a complete and total replacement for default bat when people aren't using Sandman, the bat is certainly useful in some situaiton but I think the utility of a third jump wins out. The fact that the damage penalty is really minimal doesn't hurt either.

Quick-Fix

I really like this Medigun, but it's still no replacement for the default. This is more for the side Medic, a lot like how a Gunslinger Engie isn't going to go out on his own on defense. It's extremely useful for keeping your team at full health, though it's a bit hard to break the old habit of just sticking on someone.

I think the Uber effect is going to be paired up A LOT with the regular Uber once people figure out how potent an Uber can be again when a Pyro isn't flinging it up in the air.

Tomislav

As much as I like this gun's design I can't say I'm a fan of it when it comes to my style of Heavy play. I like to stick to the front lines and push the battle forward and this gun is much more suited to a solo Heavy wandering around on his own. Head on you can really feel that 20% decrease, but in one on one I think the spin-up time makes up for it, especially if you can take them by suprise.

Also, it spins up almost instantly and is quite as shit until you fire it. I'd be surprised if the spin-up doesn't get nerfed to 50% or lower.

And msn loves ladies.

I need more bull shit in my TF2. Here are some I am using, post some more.

Subject: LulzSec Evidence on member "Nakomis"

Twitter: http://twitter.com/Anonakomis

"Nakomis" maintained the twitter "real_j35t3r" for AnonOps during a secret Operation called "Unmask". IRC logs from this invite only channel show Sabu, Topiary, Barrett Brown, and Nakomis were all trying to find out who "The Jester (th3j35t3r)" was.

The picture above shows what looks to be an individual with a name tag printed "Jester". Upon the unearthing of this image, the group members found the mans name to be "Casey Gardiner", living in Southern California. After looking over his linkedin account and facebook, he seemed to fit as a match to Jester.

Topiary created the real_j35t3r twitter account as well as the hushmail email associated with it. From what records show, Nakomis took this over quite quickly and began tormenting th3j35t3rs followers and supporters.

Barrett Brown and Sabu calm that Casey's email was breached during the month of March of 2011 and started monitoring incoming and outgoing mail (casey.gardiner@gmail.com). Nakomis claimed during this time, he befriended Casey on facebook and had began engaging in conversations about tennis and music. 

During the beginning of April 2011, Nakomis was contacted by a fake reporter who turned out to be th3j35t3r himself.

Full details can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/6gq8ykl

Nakomis told the secret group about the reporter at the beginning of April 2011. Barrett contacted Nakomis and told him that they should give out the dox info during the interview and corner the news agency into releasing their source at a later date. Payment for this interview could also be used to involve th3j35t3r in illegal acts. Their plan however, failed and they had to start from scratch.
 
According to logs, Nakomis reset Casey's paypal password and sent payment to what he thought was a genuine AP reporter, who turned out to be th3j35t3r.

After the apparent failure, the group started what is now known as "LulzSec". They wanted to disenfranchise themselves away from 'Anonymous/AnonOps' as much as possible so they could:

A) Claim credit for themselves
B) Higher Risk Targets
C) Not involve the group as a whole
D) Financial Gain

Nakomis is believed to have been around the Anon Community for quite some time, yet changing his name and releasing his true identity to only a select few.

What is known about Nakomis?

Coder - A few successful social engineering operations have shown him to be the main programming force behind some attacks. As a prior (lead?) developer for phpBB Online Message Boards, he might be the individual supplying LulzSec with SQL vulnerabilities for their attacks as well as coding software (possible malware).

Educated - Claims Berkeley as his location of studies. TinyChat video screen shots show him in what looks to be UC Berkeley sweats. Twitter page states Computer-Human Integration, which might be associated with the School of Information.

Immature - TinyChat video screen shots observe Nakomis exposing himself many times.

Location - Southern California (th3j35t3r #jester irc logs show him stating the town of Victorville as his residence, but not confirmed)

Connections - Seems to know everyone fairly well around the community. Many times gaining recognition from @Anon_Central and other twitter accounts confirmed as AnonOps "Staff". Prior accomplices: Isis, Owen, Ryan, Corey, Wolfy, Heyguise, OpNoPro, Sabu, Topiary, Barrett Brown, and more.             

Military Counter-Intelligence - Sources say Nakomis served quite recently in the United States marines doing government intelligence. Possible network security work or programming that supported their mission.

Age - Anywhere from 24-26 is what has been seen and reported.

Identification Marks - Beard(?), tattoos on both arms, brown hair, and blue eyes.

There's no doubt that these members (Sabu, topiary, nakomis, and possibly others) are apart of LulzSec. Targeting th3j3t3r, his followers, ShadowDXS, and just the attitude in general resembles their prior operations.

Nakomis<ShadowDXS : I'm gonna make you famous. Because I love you.
