So apparantly if you go to them main tf2 site and follow a super secret link (such as the one to get the Gentle Maane's medal) you'll find this http://guarddog.50webs.com/THE GUARD DOG Pros: Bite people in the a** Bring ammo boxes, health, and weapons to teammates Sniff an enemies corpse or weapon so you can find them and hunt them down Refill a snipers jarate Cons: PETA's gonna get on Valve's a**

Holy crap! Is this for real?
*Goes to update TF2...*
...Okay, there's no update, but the website seems to confirm it. Also, I can't seem to connect to any servers right now, so...that does seem suspicious.
But at the same time, this could be a cruel joke to us as well. How interesting that this happened though.
I'll be on later to check if an "update" does happen later.

I'll be on later to check if an "update" does happen later. Let me clear some things up before these forums get as confused as the Steam ones.. The Guard Dog was created by a fan, and was posted upon his own website: http://guarddog.50webs.com/The fan made page was brought to Valve's attention, so they posted http://www.teamfortress.com/1308.htm to acknowledge it, and take the ideas into consideration. There is no actual update going on right now, and there is no promise that the Guard Dog will become a real character or not. Hope this helps!

The visuals are stunning, achievements are damn brilliant. They look great in terms of descriptions for what you should do with this devil.
I hope Valve strongly considers this guy's ideas. It could either be a great addition to the support (much like a medic or an engie based on the second equipped weapon) or an interesting partner to the offensive groups (running ahead to shoot its weapon and throwing snipers in a loop on trying to shoot the small target).
Yep, Valve would be smart adding this one. One more spy checker and an annoyance for Snipers trying to get head shots.

I think adding this would be the dumbest decision Valve has ever made.

CaptainBaconMan I think adding this would be the dumbest decision Valve has ever made. I don't think it would be THE dumbest, but it wouldn't be that good. I don't think a 10th class like this is necessary. However, I do believe that Valve saying "Good Job!" to the fans probably means we'll get to see this Guard Dog referenced in some other form. Perhaps, dare I say, a hat?

Perhaps, dare I say, a hat? I could see that happening. Its nice they gave him a nod, but I doubt the dog would ever become real in the form of a tenth class. Perhaps they'd name Engineer's sentry upgrade "Guard Dog", despite not being a canine. And for all those interested, the fan creator made a page 2: http://guarddog.50webs.com/update_02.html

Perhaps, dare I say, a hat? I think it'll only happen if enough people talk about it for a long enough time. (The in-game reference thing) But I still stand by the dumbest decision, it would ruin TF2. EDIT: Looks like they already got some recognition. #1308 - "GUARD DOG"

Okay guys, one last post to really clear things up.
http://secretoptionf.wordpress.com/2009/09/23/special-f-feature-gaurd-dog-update-interview/
This is an interview with the guy who first made up the Guard Dog, the process he took to make it, and everything related. Let's give him credit for what it truly is, a creative fan made art project!

CaptainBaconMan I don't think anyone here actually thought this was a real update. You're probably right.. But.. On the Steam Forums, its amazing how many people really thought it was. Unnerving just how easy to fool so much of the Steam Community is. sweatdrop

It was a good project whether or not it is implemented.
Although I wouldn't mind if one weekend Valve releases a beta where people can try out the canine they create for a few days before it is taken back from the game for further testing and consideration.
Just an idea.
