I've had a crapton of ideas just floating around on paper for a while now, including:

"The War Hero", a set for Scout based off Pvt. Audie Murphy, a WWII-era war hero about his age
-Scattergun visually based on M1 Carbine
-Pvt. Murphy's haircut
-Pvt. Murphy's uniform with all his medals (which is at least 1 of each)

"Old Enough To Kill, But Not For Votin' ", a Vietnam War set for Scout
-Scattergun visually based on Childers prototype box-fed Remington 870 (google "Childers SOW" to see what I'm thinking of)
-M1911A1 pistol: damage boost at cost of magazine size?
-M1 Steel Pot with Bonk can and "Born To Run" scrawled on it--team-colored
-Vietnam-War-era US Utility Fatigue Shirt (team-colored)

Other ideas:
-Set for Soldier based on the resistance guys from the 1980s action movie Red Dawn, wherein the USSR invades the US---and a matching set for Heavy based on the Soviets they faced, specifically on the main officer

-WWI soldier set for, well, Soldier with a bazooka based on the M1 howitzer, a WWI soldier helmet with the TF2 Soldier logo, a stockless Winchester M97 Trench Gun shotgun, and a a WWI US suspenders/tactical belt..thing. They had those. Oh, and a trench club!

-Captain America set for Soldier

-Dwight Eisenhower set for Soldier

-General Douglas MacArthur set for Soldier

-President Truman set for Soldier

-WWII US bomber pilot set for Soldier with a shotgun based visually on the Browning .50-cal.

-Vietnam War Soldier set: "Made To Wear The Flag"
-Redeye MANPADS
-Childers SOW shotgun (please see Scout, only it's the all-metal top-fed thing in the picture)
-Vietnam War entrenching tool
-Team-colored camo boonie hat
-Vietnam War camo jacket, team-colored

Et cetera. I've got several metric craptons of set ideas written down, and many of them are applicable to this update.

Another idea: A set for Soldier that looks like the US reverse-engineered and "infantry-ized" various real life* top-secret WWII German secret weapons.


-Something resembling the love child of a Fliegerfaust and a V3 Hochdruckepump (primary)

-Shotgun based on the concept "Electric Gun" AA railgun, with projectiles that look like that of the Rescue Ranger, but do something different, like pierce enemies sorta like the pre-MYM Righteous Bison (Secondary)

-Stahlhelm with dieselpunk mouth shield

-Dieselpunk goggles.


*NOT Call Of Duty. And not conspiracy-theory ♥♥♥♥ either. My sources are:

Hogg, Ian V. German Secret Weapons of the Second World War. New York, NY: Fall River, 2008. Print.

Stevens, Henry. Hitler's Suppressed and Still-secret Weapons, Science and Technology. Kempton, IL: Adventures Unlimited, 2007. Print.

Of course, all the "superweapons" described in both books were merely theoretical and never made it past laboratory experiments, in many cases due to not being sufficiently researched at the beginning of the war and there not being enough materials to go around by the middle and end of the war. Or, in the case of the Electric Gun, remained pure theory because the proposed range and rate of fire requirements would add up to several million volts over 10,000 amps. Nobody then, now, or likely quite a ways into the future can figure out how to make that kind of amperage; and the volts can only be provided by a dedicated power plant, thus making such a weapon immensely impractical even if the amp problem was solved. So this stuff existed on paper, and in the lab, but was never manufactured and never deployed. Sorry to rattle on. I find this stuff rather fascinating.

Aaanyway, I really want to hear what set ideas other people have, because monologues on forums suck. Feel free to chip in!

Hello? Anyone?
