I can't believe that I'm the first to put this here, seeing as there's people knowing of this since (for me) yesterday...

Whoa, this makes me wonder if this is either a Valve joke or are they seriously considering working on adding the Guard Dog idea into the game.

Or it could be a codename for a new Engie upgrade and they're just yanking our chain?

Though I can see what'll happen if this si true and live.....it'll be amusing to see tfp full of canines(Blech, needs more felines and bunnies if ya ask me damned over exposed dogs)

You know it's inevitable people will come up with mods to have other animals instead. If nothing else, it cries out for a vorpal bunny.

It appears to be a joke that Valve may end up taking seriously. Rather akin to Jarate.

Well, I DID post a thread modding the joke idea into an engineer sidegrade to replace the PDA...

o-o Minus the 'player tracking" and "jarate filling' part... My idea was basically a mobile sentry/dispenser, of level 1 strength, that can be made to guard either a person or set location. Wanders the 'area' it's guarding, etc.
:P Though Valve's just trolling, yes.

If I were a part of Valve's PR and marketing department and had seen the awesome job that a community member had did on a Guard Dog 10th class, I'd like to play around with lending the idea a hint at credence too to see if the community gets its hopes and speculations up, thus paying more attention to my product: Team Fortress 2.

As it's doing now.

My point being: I won't believe anything Valve hints about upcoming content until I see an official announcement. The TF2 community is too eager to snap up anything they leak and start spinning wild stories about what they're up to. Which is fun on one hand, frustrating on another.

I believe it is a sign that Valve is taking the 10th class suggestion seriously and they like the idea as much as the community does or maybe it was to stop poor Robin's mailbox from being spammed into oblivion asking for this class addition. Either way, the idea was a stroke of genius and could help breath new life into the game.
