Yes, It seems they hate engineers ;)

It's because Gaben's favorite class is the Spy!

Answer: not as much as Demoman, it seems.

isn't the pip boy already an item?

The Pip-Boy animations would relegate it not to the Misc. slot, but as a PDA item.

Man. I hate this.

Oh lol ty for the info

He has a point

I think it's better to have it as a PDA than a misc item because it's perfect for it. Think about it guys there is only one PDA in the game that is a little different from the normal one. And that's the strange quality. It's the same but the quality is just strange. Plus in this video and the screenshots you can see the Pip Boy in you're left wrist and has an animated texture on using it instead of that normal PDA. Also it gives him a new taunt Good work. I wanted the Pip Boy in TF2 because I am a Fallout fan but I didn't expect it to only change the HUD when using the PDA. So now finally someone has made a fantastic effort into making this animation so I think it's worth putting it in the game

Guys it would make a big difference for the engie. Maybe some people like it as a misc rather than a wep. What if you had a strange pda and genuin pipboy. If the pipboy was a wep you couldnt wear it anymore. Its not going to happen so stop your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and just cross your fingers for your other favorite workshop item.

So the engi would now have to choose between some cosmetic animation changes or counting his sentry's kills, but this doesen't effect other more important loadout slots such as primary or melee or otherwise alter gameplay in any meaningful way for the engi? My god that is such a big change. Sarcasam aside, the PDA slot is really just a cosmetic slot at this point. Adding this is like adding another stock melee reskin. I can use my strange bat or my genuine ham shank, what a tough choice, too bad it doesen't affect actual gameplay in the slightest.

Point is, awesome animations, more a slot freed for a cosmetic misc item, and we get to have some real use of the engi's PDA slot, without losing anything meaningful. No reason this should not be in the game.

well they should add the pip-boy fix, i love it. and for the uber update, its just the engineer, its very hard to make new idea's with him without overpowering him or just making complete bull. another note about this topic. gabe newell's favriote class is the spy and he sapp's engineer's stuff and he hates that.

WHAT CAN I DO TO VALVE STOP BEING MERCENARIES OF MONEY AND PUT IT AT PDA SLOT?

Because of copyright problems? Unless valve got an agreement from the Fallout developers, one that would probably cost them money, putting the Pip-Boy in the game would put them in copyright infringement land and they could totally get sued.

The pip boy is already in the game, this is a modification to an existing item, and a very good modification at that.

Valve doesent hate the engineer. Valve hates the sniper, just give it time soon they will add engy stuff
