Note that this is the only non-Heavy-themed Meet the Team video where a Heavy doesn't get mauled or murdered. I kinda liked that tradition, even though Heavy's definitely my favorite character by personality.

Dude, the heavy's chest was opened while he was still conscious in order for mad science to be done to him! I think that might qualify.

If you had the game before the freemium date, you get a WWI British Infantry Helmet.

But, I haven't booted it up in a long while.

Besides the broken rib, that didn't seem to bother him at all, and those grow back.

Damn, that video is creepy! And great! And about damn time too!

I just logged in today for the first time in a few months and got my shiny new old Hat. From another era indeed. I've got a nice stash of vintage items, but I suspect many others have HUEG stashes of old-school equipment.

And I definitely noticed that my turret was getting a ton of kills on 2Fort today. Must be all the noobs.

lots and lots and lots of newbs out there right now

many easy kills

if you have multiples of old items, I suggest hitting the crafting table to make some new gear.

I'm having way to much fun as Mobster Heavy....

The Tomislav's already gotten a whack of the nerf-bat due to the inevitable whining.
