Not in the base game. There was Custom TF which was a mod that may have added it. Pyro did have a rocket launcher in both the quake mod and TFC

For a hypothetical TF3, one of the characters could be The Last Robot. Maybe one who managed to develop free will and deserted Grey Mann’s army.

Honestly if they were to do a full pass over the code and all the models to make the game run super well and call it tf3 i'd be okay with that, I think.

Yeah, basically do a code and asset cleanup, port over existing cosmetics (redo them in-house if you have to, whatever) and let people carry-over hats in their backpacks. All weapons unlocked by default, have (only new) crates be craftable into scrap for either crafting cosmetics, or trading for stranges, reskins, etc. Weapons shouldn't be drops or have to be unlocked.

That became payload because valve playtesting it found out that most of the time it was really, really boring for whoever got to be the civilian.

Unfun implementation of an ice power in an FPS: creating a wall. What would be fun: deployable ice slick zone, where your control over your momentum is the same as midair.

Unfun implementation of ice powers in an FPS: your main attack being gradually robbing your opponent of control until they are completely stunned, at which point they have nothing to do but watch your teehee cutie waifu~ character charge a one-shot kill through your loving skull And also you can go invulnerable

You can transfer your hats from TF2 to TF3, but it's one-way and they become account locked.

Personally I say Valve should just murder the cosmetics market by releasing universal Strangifiers, Killstreak Kits, and an item that confers a random Unusual Effect on items, it's the kind of thing that would print money part of this probably just stems from the fact that I am not a fan at all of the idea of digital only items holding monetary value to any significant extent

Funny thing is for a while I thought the Civilian was going to be hinted to be Dracula, helpless and requiring an escort in the daylight. While the Heavy is the game mascot, always thought the Soldier would probably fit more easily into a Smash moveset. Especially with a Rocket Jump(er) up-special and Market Gardener down aerial. Final Smash is probably either a Kritzkrieg or maybe a bugle charge of the entire team.

Dang, I think you guys are gonna get me to reinstall this game. At least I can delude myself that I'm not literally the worst player ever in TF2. We'll never see a TF3, but Overwatch 2 may give us some idea how well one would do, or how/how not to do it.

That's the thing about tf3. They might "fix" rocket jumping or face stabs or all the other things that make tf2 what it is, a buggy mess that I love.

Reminder that Overwatch 2 is not an actual sequel and will not change the existing Overwatch in any way - to a point that Overwatch 1 and 2 players will be in the same matchmaking pool. Overwatch 2 is basically a single player expansion, or at least that’s how it was presented at Blizzcon.

I mainly play gunboats soldier unless I’m just messing around, so I gotta ask, what is wrong with rocket jumping? As far as I can tell it works as intended. Face stabs will always be a thing as long as lag compensation is a thing. While it’s janky I think fixing it would bring down the overall smoothness of the gun play.

It works as intended because they're replicating an unintended mechanic from earlier Source engine games. If rocket jumping was designed on purpose from the start, you wouldn't have the "don't press W or you kill your momentum" situation. It's not that terrible, but it's unintuitive in that "this is just how things turned out because the physics were being made with other things in mind" sort of way that nobody would come up with in a design document.

In a TF3, they'd probably make it easier to learn how to rocket jump in a straight line, but preserve the fun steering-with-A-and-D-and-mouselook controls as an "advanced" technique. I imagine they'd accomplish this by refining how WASD work so that W doesn't cap your speed. And possibly making it so if you just shoot straight down while jumping and holding W (the naive thing every novice jumper tries), the rocket would be tweaked slightly behind you to launch you at an ideal angle -- but in other circumstances, you could still place your rocket wherever you want it for advanced jumping. What I'm doing here is called "game design fanfic".
