  This is Saxton. Hale! And that legion business in the title was a Bible quote to let you know how serious this all is: Bible serious. So listen up, mercs. Some puny coward's built an army of robots to fight his fights for him. I don't know if robots have human emotions, but if not, they’re doing a Saxxy-worthy impression of them, because they look mad. Also, Reddy tells me they’re heading straight at Mann Co.
  
  So there's a big fight coming, and I'm going to need you mercs to fight it for me. Not for coward reasons, though. Fight reasons. I got a different fight going and I can't fight both fights at once. Well, I could, but the fights are on different continents.
  
  Boyohboy. If you're like me, reading the word "fight" this much has got you in the mood to fight. Last thing you probably want to do right now is read. Unfortunately, Bidwell wrote a stupid report on all the heavy hitters you’ll be running into out there. If I was you I’d skip it.
  
  Alright, enough reading advice. It's man-to-man talk time. I am not going to lie to you: I am going to have to lie to you. You men are absolutely prepared to deal with this, and you are going to be just fine. Right. End of lie. Now get ready to absorb some bullets so they don’t hit my factories.
  
  We have 48 hours until robots arrive. Get moving.

  Ha, PvE. As I thought.
  
  Well, this is perfect for bringing my non-PvP buddies into TF2. I might actually jump back into the game seriously after all.

  And for reasons I cannot explain the robots run on piles of money. Anything that falls out is your pay.

  For upgrades in between waves. AKA "new experimental weapons from R&D division of Mann Co."
  
  6 players is a bit much. I find that 4 players is just the perfect number of having a lot of firepower, but easy to obtain within your friend group. 6 players, on the other hand...
  
  You might as well call it Killing Floor-tress 2.

  We don't know how many robots there will be per wave, it could be 3-4, 10-20, or even 30-40. And that line was a reference to the comic that came out with the update.

  Well, it's a bit too L4D-ish for my taste.. but if it's done well then I have no complaints whatsoever.

  In b4 a mod that changes them to ponies.
  
  
  you know I'm actually impressed, I thought the massive change that TF2012 brought was just going to be that lame Pyrovision.
