Welcome to the Major Update Speculation thread. Slight off-topic discussion (such as weapon balance, current update woes, etc) is allowed, but try to keep the shit flinging to a minimum. Just because there's nothing to talk about doesn't mean you should shitpost.

A competitive matchmaking beta testing group is available. To be prioritized for getting a beta pass, you must be in the group, have a premium account, and have the Steam Mobile Authenticator available.
There appears to be unscheduled competitive matchmaking stress tests that could happen at any time.
Scream Fortress Seven was released, featuring new community Halloween maps, and the official release of the Mannpower gamemode, along with a new map. As part of the performance fixes for the update, [URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1488921&p=49006098&viewfull=1#post49006098"]some textures for new taunts and new Engineer buildings were found,[/URL] some of which were included in the Tough Break update.

You guys think that they're gonna start stress test around the same time as the first one?
Probably, and do peak times around the world.
why would you post the thread before the old one has shut down
Either way, I'm excited. I had alot of fun with my experiences in matchmaking
Usually it's good form to post the thread [B]after the current one has locked[/B], as otherwise it could be seen as ninjaing.
EDIT:
Apologies if this seemed pissy, didn't mean it to come off that way. Didn't want to make the next one in either case - been paying less attention to TF2 due to other games recently, so it's just as well.
[QUOTE=ikes;49860965]why would you post the thread before the old one has shut down[/QUOTE]
Because it'll be full any second now...
...any second now...
... See! Full! No, wait, that's shitposts.
[QUOTE=chandlerj333;49861246]Because it'll be full any second now...

And it's full now.
RIP
Also where is the new thread smell?
[QUOTE=usaokay;49861693]P sure you did that months ago.[/QUOTE]
It wasn't an hour in advanced though was it
So the next Stress Test will begin within 2-3 hours as i remember?
[QUOTE=Dazzgrace;49860901]poopy joe was an inside job[/QUOTE]
Technically it was.:v: but here's my speculation, ever since the classic mercy were introduced in the comics, and the classic was added I always assumed there might be a "nostalgia update" adding at least one classic weapon to tf2, there's already quite a few on the workshop, and the fact that valve went out of there way to actually make a new model when they made the classic makes me think that during LaW they were maybe planning more classic weapons but they were never added or maybe they were never even modeled. wow i typed all this on my phone, I'm proud of myself :class:
Edit: I was gonna post this on the last thread, but it got closed before i could post it.

Wasn't this already done?
[QUOTE=usaokay;49861779]It was more like 10-30 minutes before the thread was locked.

Dunno, but he just seems more pissy that he's not OP. It's not like being OP is gaining a celebrity status unless you made some terrific contributions to the OP.
So yeah, he's a hypocrite.[/QUOTE]
He pulled something like this last time didn't he? He made a thread, the mods said no and combined it with a new and different thread.
Oh wait... Breakneck baggies... For Spy...

I don't see a Dead of Night :^).
Also, "draw sound"? What, will DR have a sound when you put it up? EDIT: If that's the case that would make using DR without viewmodels better.
[QUOTE=Jiku;49861838]I don't see a Dead of Night :^).

Most likely, as it currently doesn't have a draw sound meaning people that play without viewmodels have no way of knowing whether they have the DR active bar getting shot.

Does anyone know what the update to the Chill Chulo is?
Has there ever been a MUS (or any megathread for that matter) with an actual good title? This one's pretty bad
Did anyone else get a text file attached to the hlds email?

I'm hoping valve did some form of quality control... because heartsman clearly didn't.

nope, they all seem to be ingame :p
The breakneck baggies would only look good on demo and scout anyway.
[QUOTE=Dazzgrace;49861871]The breakneck baggies would only look good on demo and scout anyway.[/QUOTE]
Looks pretty good on Heavy and Sniper too, imo.
i can't wait to jog as the espionage
Personally, I hope the graybanns get updated soon, because I really wanna have those paintable tints.
:D I only got an email back about this a few hours ago and it's already ingame!

It makes sense on heavy, and sorta makes sense on pyro because, but the engie is especially wearing pants over his overalls, and spy just throws team coloring out the window.

Speaking of you updating stuff, you made the hot dogger right? And you mentioned making it all class right? Well I bought a unusual hot dogger, and I'd like to think I've bagged myself an all-class
[QUOTE=14bux;49861885]Looks pretty good on Heavy and Sniper too, imo.[/QUOTE]
It looks fine on all the classes that have dark trousers.
It could even look good on the others if the colour of the item was made to match the colours of the classes.
In its current state its just lazy and ugly though
