Does a sandvich thrown count as a projectile? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Coconut (talk) • contribs)

"*...that every class but the Demoman, Soldier and Medic got new Medic call lines following the Engineer update?" Is it just me, or does this seem wrong? My guess is that those voice actors aren't available yet, so they just implemented most of them for the time being.

The Heavy got the lines and he shares the same voice actor as the Demoman. The Medic's voice actor won't be available for a while(or forever.
But.. but.. what about Meet The Medic? :'( Netshroud 00:21, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Doesn't the Showdown taunt kill with a long bullet rather than a wide one? Hostile Companion Cube Roar 23:33, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Engineer unlocks

"...that the Engineer is the only class to receive unlockable weapons before his update?"

What weapon is this referring to? Lugermorph wasn't usable by Engineer until the Engineer Update... and that's a moot point anyway, as it wasn't an unlock.

--Powerlord 23:05, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

The Lugermorph was available to the Engineer on July 1, 2010. Unlockable weapon refers to any of the weapons that aren't one of the basic weapons. --Firestorm 23:08, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Theoretically, the Golden Wrench was available before the Engineer Update. Not that there's much people who have it anyway. -- Vi3trice (talk) 23:13, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Replying to both of the above, the Wiki's own weapon template divides weapons into Standard, Unlock, Drop, Special, and Promotion. Even if we count Drops as unlocks, we still don't count the Lugermorph or Golden Wrench in either group. --Powerlord 23:58, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Even better, to quote you Firestorm: "Unlock = Can be unlocked through achievements, dropped or crafted. " -- Powerlord 23:59, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
Perhaps this should be reworded as "...that the Engineer is the only class to receive alternative weapons before his update?" — Wind 00:05, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
A reword would work. We must understand the difference between "Unlockable Weapon" and "Unlock". Unfortunately, no word has been given that could reasonably describe the alternate items. --Firestorm 00:18, 10 August 2010 (UTC)


Previous Did-you-knows

"...that the Snipers's Halloween Mask features a "suprised" face with 3 eyes? So far, no one has manged to figure out why." Thats a lie! I figured it out- he's putting a third eye in the middle of their forehead ie. Boom, Headshot.

Facts need to be tested and proof-read before posted

Many of the facts in the Add Facts section are either re-posts, improperly spelled, already listed, possibly fake, or any combination of the previously mentioned. I suggest that facts must be posted in the discussion section so people can proof-read and test them out before deciding whether they should be added to the list or not. Here's an example of one that I removed because it didn't seem like it was true: "*...that you can look directly through the Rocket Launcher model's barrel even when it is loaded, yet you cannot do the same with the Direct Hit model?" It not only seems fake, but also worded incorrectly. Post your thoughts here.
