Alien Warrior

Just a fun idea.  I'm open to a lot of specifics.

This guy can be so many different things, but obviously, his primary weapons would be a lazer weapon (shoots solid beam like the phazers of the old star trek series).  Upgrade would be more of a pulse lazer. (shoots a ball of energy that is more powerful and maybe area damahe results where it hits, similar to a sticky nade/rocket.)

He could have something similar to Jarate but instead of it causing crits, it just took hit points off of you like being on fire does.  You see just like you do with Jarate except it is more green, or shifts from green to orange to yelow to green to blue, etc...

He has influence over electronics so he would be immune to sentries that would act like he is a cloaked spy.

He can recharge at enemy dispensers.

He can heal himself like the sandwich heals the heavy.

He has his own personal teleporter he can place down.

He has a short term forcefield but it drains his offensive power/lazer ammo while he uses it and he can't fire while he is using it..  Could be useful for the final few seconds of capping a CP when the enemy shows up in force.

Maybe allow his lazer to work against Ubers in that it reduces the time the invulnerability/Crit Uber lasts.

Water is like acid to them so any hit under water is lethal since it punctures the space suit.  Air is fine but head shot break the helmet buble and so they choke on the air.  But head shots are lethal in game so this is redundant.


Just some random ideas.  Not really set on what he should look like.  I'm cool with him looking like some raxe from Star Wars, or make him more hman looking but with differences.  Like different color skin and point ears. Or maybe he just looks like one of the grays.  He wears a space suit to protect him from our elements.  Taunts could be fun, he could make tour body disappear in a beam of light after he tells you that you will be used for science experiments.  Or he could say you are as weak as some unkown but small and weak sounding varmint from another planet.

Lot's of fun to be had with this character.


I'm open when it comes to his characteristics.  I guess if he has lot's of cool abilities, he should have a fairly weak health, so 125 tops I would think.  Also, maybe make it slow, like a soldier, but maybe not as slow as a heavy.  But maybe give him a much better jump than other classes.

WOW!  31 views and no replies?  I figured this would be at a minimum, a fun one to speculate on and just discuss in general.  I mean, it's not like TF2 is a sim or anything...there is tons of room for unrealistic, yet fun stuff.  My thinking was that it would allow for some more depth in the game...more so than any other new unit.

Like the being able to make a sentry ignore you by default.

Like having a force field that draws from your weapon's energy at a very fast rate.  You make for some different scenarios in things like CP and Payload maps.  Get him on the point with the CP mostly capped and you might have a guaranteed cap.  But then maybe another Alien Warrior would have the ability to disable the force field and or shoot through it.

31 views and no replies is because were all trying really hard to be nice

Well, maybe the whole Alien thing is what isn't fitting with some, but maybe a Tech Geek call him The Hacker, who has the ability to make the sentries ignore him, maybe even rewires them to shoot at their own team, rewires dispensers to attack players or work for his own team.  He has a short lived force field, that again works from the energy of his weapon to make it costly to use, etc...  The idea if you are going to add a new class is to add depth to the game, not just add another soldier.  I do like some of the ideas that I posted.

I'm not. This class is so OP it's not even funny. Your Mother and Father should be ashamed for giving birth to you.

I still don't get why you had to capitalise the words mother and father.

He's talking about Germany and Russia, you dolt.
