Yup, just trying it out. The damage penalty was originally there to keep the damage similar to the other giant melee weapons despite the crit boost, but considering this was pretty misleading for players and a bunch of people seemed to think the Minefield giant was weak, I figured I'd remove the penalty to see if that resolved both of those issues.

Updated:

• Giant Minefield Demoman changes:
  
  
  • Removed the -66% melee damage penalty.

Updated:

• Most giant melee weapons now have a knockback effect on hit (or on crit hit).
  
• The knockback effect works against invulnerable targets.
  
  
• Major League Scout changes:
  
  
  • Added melee crit combo, similar to what the Gunslinger has.
    
  • Removed random critical hits from the Sandman.
  
  
• Giant Kritzkrieg Medic changes:
  
  
  • Added melee crit combo, similar to what the Gunslinger has.
    
  • Reduced Crusader's Crossbow damage penalty to -10% (from -20%).
    
  • Increased Ubersaw damage penalty to -30% (from -20%).

We use the Tomislav "no barrel spin sound" attribute to remove the default minigun spin sounds. The new firing sound is just played on top of the normal firing sound, fortunately it's louder than the default and doesn't sound terrible mixing with it.

Giant Pyro has normal flamethrower sounds. Either we couldn't get the giant flamethrower sounds to work or they sounded terrible, so we didn't add those in.

Valve removed the auto destroy mechanic over a year ago.
