Im curious, what does everyone think that valve is gonna pull today, I mean its not like them to not do anything today for tf2. From what i think, would be some blog about some MASSIVE joke update, basically doing the complete opposite of what the steam forums cry about. Such as. Achievement_idle now an offical map. While in spectate, your item drop chance triples. Anyone that has idled 100+ hours now gets the new exclusive idler only hat. All official maps have had all the optimization removed and replaced with very heavy weather effects. TF2 now only runs in DX11 and the only options for graphics is Ultra. Mat_picmip set to -10 by default. *ctf_2fort* 2fort has had the bridge removed, and the water replaced by acid. Only dead ringer spies can pass through it. Upper deck is now longer for better sniper support. (this is obviously taken from 2fort_sniper in tfc :P) *weapon changes* Backburner now has -25 hp reduction added. ChargeNtarge now gives critical to grenades while charging and also has its own 4th slot. etc... Basically something like that, and tf2 will actually update, but with nothing added.
- Team Fortress 3 Teaser. - 10th Class. - Removed hats from the games.
[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;21097837]ChargeNtarge now gives critical to grenades while charging[/QUOTE] As I recall, it already does this you just have to time it well.
Chargin' targe does give you crits with grenades, fyi
[QUOTE=Lijitsu;21097888]As I recall, it already does this you just have to time it well.[/QUOTE] I need to see some proof of this, i have tried a lot but no success.

Nah. They'll probably let it lie.
They won't update.
A sneek peek of some weird unlock for Engie that actually never gets into the update to confuse fans.
I hope they do something, or I'll be very saddened
Well if anyone cares, Tf2items is down. Maybe some new items getting added, or could be nothing
[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;21098492]Well if anyone cares, Tf2items is down. Maybe some new items getting added, or could be nothing[/QUOTE] No it isn't. And it's too late for an April Fool's now. They tend to be first thing in the morning.
[url=http://store.steampowered.com/news/]The official steam time seems to be wildly fluctuating today.[/url] I hope that's not the extent of valves mischief.
Nah, nothing will happen. Valve are lazy.
Steam News will say "EPISODE 3 RELEASE DATE CONFIRMED!" and then say "ANNOUNCEMENT POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE" when you click on the link.
We'll get an advertisement of an item that we will all laugh at and say "Lol, that item is so horrible, Valve would never put that in the game." And then, when the Engineer Update rolls around and shows us that item is real, we'll all rage so hard, that we boycott TF2 for that day only.
[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;21098022]I need to see some proof of this, i have tried a lot but no success.[/QUOTE] I've yet to be able to do it since my timing is utter shit, but if you get it right at the end of the charge, you can get a guaranteed crit.
[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;21097837] *ctf_2fort* 2fort has had the bridge removed, and the water replaced by acid. Only dead ringer spies can pass through it. Upper deck is now longer for better sniper support. (this is obviously taken from 2fort_sniper in tfc :P) [/QUOTE] Well what about double jump + fan, rocket jump and sticky jump?
I hope there will be cloud fart. There hasn't been one in a while.
Something weird that everyone will think is fake, until they actually release it in a couple of months. Like the Jarate, just more awesome.
Well tf2stats' email notification sent me this: [quote]Your account has been flagged for circumventing the item distribution system. We have removed the items that were illegally obtained. Future violations will result in the loss of all your items.[/quote]
[QUOTE=Maurice;21099592]Well tf2stats' email notification sent me this:[/QUOTE] That was to do with the idling purge. Ages ago.
They might pretend to pretend [B](!)[/B] to add some super secret silly items to the game.
Knowing Valve Time, look for the April Fool's blog to be posted in May or June. =P
Take away all idled items and give the non-idlers angel wings, then undo everything tomorrow.
[QUOTE=dragonsteincole;21099982]Knowing Valve Time, look for the April Fool's blog to be posted in May or June. =P[/QUOTE] Although most Valve Time jokes are usually dumb, this actually made me laugh. Well done.
