About this "dropping"

Is this a for sure thing? Has anyone actually got one? Jh9594 19:15, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

It is currently unreleased. 19:15, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

Yes, but someone put that it drops. How can they know this without having got one. Jh9594 19:21, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

It was a mistake, the template defaults to drop if nothing is entered for the availability field. Been fixed now. —Moussekateer·talk 19:22, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

Actually I've already seen a few people with this and the tamrielic relic, so maybe you can get it in a drop — The preceding unsigned comment was added by SteamingKettleOfIgnorance (talk) • (contribs) 23:37, 3 August 2011

I would suspect that if people had it now you'd see people offering it on trading websites such as TF2TP. Though I suppose it's possible that they are untradable and ungiftable.--Jordan 21:19, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

Read the post above yours, it was an accident, it does not drop anymore. Making those found very valuable for the time being. Dr. Blutengott 21:21, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

 Nope Let me stop you right there, all the items have the attribute "cannot trade" attached...for now. So for the time being they would be "worthless" to traders. 21:27, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

I didnt mean to traders, just to people who got the items. Who would trade one anyway at this time? Dr. Blutengott 21:30, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

I have this item in non-genuine not tradable quality, obtained from a drop (I do not have Quake 4). It dropped 7/9. Check my backpack under "Blasterfire" on tf2 items. Blasterfire 16:46, 9 August 2011 (PDT)

"The projectiles from the weapon also fire from the center of the screen. "

When I tested it out in itemtest it didn't really appear to come from the center. Instead it felt like it shot from the some place any other launcher would shoot it. Is this just a problem on my end?--Jordan 20:38, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

Attributes probably haven't been added yet. Clank 20:44, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

The attributes have been added, I've checked items_game. I just don't think they have implemented the use of it yet. Zadrave 20:46, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

Well no. According to the schema "centerfire projectile" is an actual attribute. The problem is that itemtest items don't completely work properly. For instance, the detonator's flare cannot be detonated. 20:47, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

Well that was what I meant, bad wording. Guess we'll have to see if those drops happen. No worries. Clank 20:50, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

Thank you for the clarification. Does the fact that "centerfire projectile" is an actual attribute mean it more than a rocket launcher reskin?--Jordan 21:18, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

Update-eeyup. Comes out slightly under the crosshair rather than on it though. Don't suppose that's worth noting? Clank 07:17, 5 August 2011 (PDT)

That's quite a gallery

We don't need the weapon at every single possible angle. The view model and world model of the Quake original would be fine (maybe in the same image), plus the view model in TF2 (with no background) and then whatever promo image Valve might make would be plenty. Right now we have 3 images from Quake, and a view of Soldier holding the weapon and it's just kind of different than how we do other weapons. Balladofwindfishes 05:23, 4 August 2011 (PDT)

Just to reiterate, do we really need Deathmatch Classic images? Balladofwindfishes 13:00, 4 August 2011 (PDT)

Yeah, the DMC view model really seems out of place. DMC is just a recreation of Quakeworld, of course they're going to be similar.

What I would like to see is a world model from Quake. More of this model is based on that than Quake's extremely undetailed view model. Dragonsbrethren 15:42, 5 August 2011 (PDT)

Function

So does this function the same way as the Rocket Launcher? I put up the sentence in the introduction that says it is, but it was removed, despite it clearly functioning exactly like the Rocket Launcher. Is the information on the page just false, or what? Shane Alvarado 10:26, 4 August 2011 (PDT)

Forget it, I see now. Still, a very slight difference. Shane Alvarado 10:34, 4 August 2011 (PDT)

It's a minor difference, but it does change the way you approach certain situations like corners. Balladofwindfishes 10:37, 4 August 2011 (PDT)

Banned

Simmiliar problems to the homefront promotion this game is banned in germanyAmp32 00:10, 5 August 2011 (PDT)

Yeah that is still a problem, and steam doesn't care to solve it somehow... TheDoctor(without a small pic) 16:28, 4 August 2011 (PDT)

Well it's the same thing that led to promotions being craft able last time (Homefront) so let's cross our fingers.Amp32 00:10, 5 August 2011 (PDT)

Non-Steam

I already have Quake 4, but not as a Steam game. Will I still get it, or am I screwed?Spartan007 16:20, 4 August 2011 (PDT)

Nope. For the nex time, ask on SUF Dio ★ (talk) 16:26, 4 August 2011 (PDT)

Lol viewmodels

Probably not worth noting, but... http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/594692996042918806/630EFE4E501BC1B4A446D1BD14116BDF717F8899/ Clank 07:20, 5 August 2011 (PDT)

Crafting

The page states there are crafting numbers, but there is no recipe, and it says it is "promotional". Can it be crafted using tokens, or is the crafting numbers an oversight? Rocket Ship BBQ 11:10, 5 August 2011 (PDT)

The craft number is there because it has the 'Can be a numbered craft' attribute in the schema for when it does become craftable. —Moussekateer·talk 11:12, 5 August 2011 (PDT)
