      Its a valve stem with hand wheel unless the valve body is buried under the floor out of sight. It looks like a gate valve to me where that lead screw literally lifts or lowers the gate into place in the valve body.

      To control the valve? So whoever manages to pull the sword wheel from the stone shaft becomes the new ruler of england Valve?

    Can’t believe they left Team Fortress rotting and made fucking Deadlock instead. Imagine a beautiful TF3 ;-;

      I wonder if they could ever recapture TF2’s charm. I can’t see making all of the mercs – but again – working.
      If they ever did make a TF3 it’d probably be substantially different.

        Its just a moba. Not exactly “new” itself. A new spin on TF would have been awesome.

        Too much CC in it. It has the age old problem of characters that are fun to play, but absolute dogshit to play against.

        I am not a fan of MOBAs. I tried playing it, but it requires a lot of knowledge just to understand what you’re doing. Also because it’s free to play people are jerks rather than helpful.

          It’s weird, I’ve never been a fan of MOBAs at all, but there’s something that clicked with Deadlock for me, but I get that it’s not for everyone. Further, from mine and my friend’s experiences, people in Deadlock have actually been quite gracious! You get your occasional dickhead that says stupid shit sometimes, but generally people are pretty chill, and understanding if you’re new.

        I’ve never even heard of it, and I’m a big fan of Valve. Game must have failed miserably. That probably should have advertised it.
