Yeah, I sometimes don't get the argument. With the stock knife you'd already be dead anyways! However, I think what irks people the most about it is the fact that it's annoying to play against. With the stock knife, you'd be dead and go "Aw shucks, Spy got me, oh well." With the Infection, you have a mini panic attack and set out to find a health pack or something that could possibly cure your sudden terminal disease which makes you useless for far longer than if you just died and respawned. Plus, sometimes health packs don't work or dispensers won't cure it and you just end up frustrated. So yeah, gameplay-wise it seems like a good trade-off for the player, but for the enemy it's just annoying sometimes.

The only thing that it has in common with the Panic Attack is that it loads shots preemptively! Other than that, it's completely different.

Man, I suck with this thing! I can barely get any shots in that do decent damage. The Scattergun seems more reliable, but the Bride seems like it has a huge damage output potential with the headshots mechanic.

Oh, not even that. You select the base class, select the health rate, choose a model of your choice and bang! You've almost got a full FF2 boss!

I mean, the CTF2W team does enough as is! Extra work on a server that hasn't been played on tons just seems kinda unnecessary at the moment.

I feel as though that might be an unwarranted Lenny face, considering I have no idea what you're referring to in my comment.

Ah, I think if you want to have your ideas added in, you'll have to make 'em yourself. It seems pretty easy, honestly. You just need to grab a FF2 Boss creation tool and fire away.

Eyyyy, sorry, I jumped the gun and I'm posting a day early! Ahh!
Well, whatever. Here's one of the more original AW weapons!

PRAISE THIS PERSON, HE HAS CREATED THE PERFECT PUSH OVER

Well, I wouldn't call it perfect, nor would I call him a balance god, but the stats are pretty good. However, considering how Airblast actually works, I'd definitely remove the 'damage against walls' thing. That's just asking for some serious spamming.

I think heat-seeking sounds better than full crits, honestly. Those homing crockets sure hit hard.

Yeah, the new ridiculous height thing is...eh. It's got really limited movement, too, and you could honestly get where you need to with the new Flare Jumper (which I absolutely love, by the way!)

I do like the airblast cost, honestly. I think that'd work very well!
The flying itself is...oddly restricting. I wish that instead of the choppy flying we have now we had low gravity. You ever played as Pyro with low gravity? It's amazingly fun. I think with the ammo and airblast cost, combined with low G., could probably keep it balanced and bring this weapon back around.
