Thoughts on new guns after playing TwitchCon all day

- The Pike (medium's DMR) is essentially the LH1, both in vibe and TTK. Will absolutely see play, especially on open maps, but, just like the LH1, it really needs a head clicker to shine. Much better with the iron sights on, especially since the sight is bugged during motion like most guns (fires center screen, not at reticle). On a related note, the LH1 feels great with a sight!

- .50 Akimbo (heavy's deagles) slaughters, for the same reason as above -- to the degree that it 4 taps Heavy with headshots. Pretty crazy considering it has a clip of 14! Reload is as long as it is cool, but I'm not confident it's punishing enough to balance the damage.

- M26 (light's pump shotgun) is interesting. It has a very "squashed" spread, which makes it easy to hit adjacent targets from ~10-15m. Damage feels just shy of the the 1887, but fire rate and reload are both much faster.
