oh yay, another fucking mostly mannpower update.
stuff is cool at least, but i'm tired of seeing big logs for a mode i don't even play
I bet they've hidden some Engi vs Spy stuff into this update too.
Neat

Took a peek inside the map, seems there's a lot of changes that take the grappling hook in mind.
I need these taunts...Because reasons

pretty important part in the blog post:
[QUOTE]Now, as we all know, almost everybody in the TF2 community is made up of Bruce Wayne-like philanthropist billionaires, so most of you can tune out for this paragraph. This next part is aimed specifically at the very slim margin of you who don't already have enough money and would like more. [B]That's right! The TF2 team will be regularly selecting top-rated taunts in the Workshop to be sold in the Mann Co. Store.[/B][/QUOTE]Interesting.

So the Sniper plays the sax now? Has this been mentioned in TF2 canon before?
I'm glad they're adding more taunts but it'd be nice if they actually made sense in the TF2 universe, although I guess I can't complain since my Pyro has a lightbulb for a head.
It would also be cool to get some taunts that actually helped the flow of the game, like a taunt for "need a dispenser here" where your character pointed at the ground and asks for a dispenser, they could even add a Medic style cross appearing on the Engies screen so he knows where he's needed.

he played sax in expiration date and was planned to in EOTL until it was cut
So the importer allows for loop taunts now, like the Rancho Relaxo I think

Knowing VALVe, it took them 6 months to make this.
[QUOTE=Valve]- Updated sound vo files to use .mp3 files instead of .wav files to reduce hard drive space[/QUOTE]
Does anyone have specifications yet as to whether this breaks just about every voice sound-mod in existance? Or does game_sounds_vo.txt and etc still point to the .wav variants?
ctf_thundermountain? Was this a thing before or is it new just for mannpower?
[QUOTE=Alan Ninja!;47311342]ctf_thundermountain? Was this a thing before or is it new just for mannpower?[/QUOTE]
New version of thundermountain for Mannpower. Pretty curious what it's like since it's a very asymmetric map normally.
Not the update I was waiting for.
[QUOTE=clearsky;47311360]Not the update I was waiting for.[/QUOTE]
I can see where you are coming from, I saw MAJOR UPDATE and thought Spy Vs. Engineer finally came out.
whoa whoa "MAJOR"
slow down

Lovely that they're replacing .wav files.
[QUOTE=Jesp;47311397]Uh oh[/QUOTE]
That's not a half-bad way of removing the rare crates without immediately making everyone who owns a rare strange incredibly infuriated. I'd rather have a small chance of getting one from a common crate then a mediocre chance of getting one from a rare crate.

Listen carefully, you can hear a lot of people quitting the game because of this.

Just tested it, and yes it breaks all voice mods.
