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.

[RetroFan987]

nice title bro

[HolySnickerPuffs]

Alright.

[QUOTE=Jboby1;49333464]Well, this is it boys. The last page of the 29th MUS thread. It was great. We speculated alot, we shitposted even more, and we had quite a few good laughs.

May the 30th MUS bring me as much joy as this one did.[/QUOTE]

[B][U]
Let's do this shit.[/U][/B]

[EmilyVasquez]

XXX in the title and not even a single porn joke :v:

[Jetamo]

The joke is cp_orange_[B]x3. [/B]:dead:

[pepetoads]

all the new speculation we have is: there's taunt videos that mean that an update that we know will come out will come out.
:what:

[sponge7325]

Really dropped the ball on that title, you should be ashamed.

ON TOPIC: I don't know if I'm getting my hopes too high, but with all the news surrounding what could be happening with this update, and that we know that we're getting new voice lines, which we haven't gotten since, iirc, Love & War, I get a feeling that this update is gonna be REALLY good.

[Hi5TBone]

Quick Question: Can someone explain to me why ctf/cp_convoy is such a hated map? I always loved convoy.

[wickedplayer494]

So apparently someone used that RSS flaw on YouTube to leak some videos?

[GeeNoVoid]

Obligatory new thread smell.

Valve sure knows how to keep a demo main happy. Easily buying that bad pipes and getting a sound mod for it! Can't wait to see what other goodies we get :joy:

[EmilyVasquez]

I'd gladly like to make a sound mod for the bagpipes when it comes out.

[Doctor Hunt]

Heavy finally getting a new gun though :hypeisreal:

[facepunched8]

[QUOTE=Doctor Hunt;49333589]Heavy finally getting a new gun though :hypeisreal:[/QUOTE]

lets not get to hyped yet, this kind of thing does happen from time to time. Most of the time when it does, we get nothing.

[Shift28]

New weapons

[video=youtube;3GwjfUFyY6M]https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=20&v=3GwjfUFyY6M[/video]

on the other hand, we need rebalances...

:-/

[BuffaloHops]

Engie has some of the best solo-class taunts in the game, what with the Rodeo and the Rancho Relaxer.

[Cosmic feel]

was that string posted confirmed to be in the in game files? or nah?

[_Pai]

[QUOTE=Cosmic feel;49333627]was that string posted confirmed to be in the in game files? or nah?[/QUOTE]

It's in texture_preload_list.txt

[_Dalek]

[QUOTE=facepunched8;49333598]lets not get to hyped yet, this kind of thing does happen from time to time. Most of the time when it does, we get nothing.[/QUOTE]

Like with the afterburner which we may or may not get. Chances are looking high now though.

[Shift28]

Snip

[KronkyDonk]

[QUOTE=_Dalek;49333656]Like with the afterburner which we may or may not get. Chances are looking high now though.[/QUOTE]

It depends, most of the unused stuff in that file are unused from LaW, like a Pauling Moped taunt and alot of bread files. Valve might have put the weapons only in a test build to see if they look good and are balanced.

[GuntMyFries]

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;49333517]So apparently someone used that RSS flaw on YouTube to leak some videos?[/QUOTE]

Go to the "taunts" playlist on Valve's TF channel. The new videos are there and fully public

[Rajikaru]

Ignore me.

[Doctor Hunt]

That's uploads, not Playlists

[Rajikaru]

[QUOTE=Doctor Hunt;49333724]That's uploads, not Playlists[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Rajikaru;49333719][B]Ignore me.[/B][/QUOTE]

[Blackavar]

Well, isn't this exciting.

Think we'll get the new major update tomorrow? Maybe the leaks weren't unintentional.

[nied]

Smissmas has already checked off 'pleasant surprise' with the new voice lines. I've missed hearing Grant Goodeve's voice

[gigazelle]

I was fully expecting the title to have to do with sfm porn, it being xxx and all.

[Shift28]

Toweeks the Week

[Chrytin]

The optimist in me wants to see these potential weapons added, but the cynic (and realist) sees it as just internal stuff Valve has no intent on shipping. I hope I'm wrong, because if the file names suggest anything, potentially game changing stuff is in the works. The first new Flamer since the Phlog in Australian Christmas 2011, the first new minigun since the Tomislav in the Uber update. The implications of another offense focused mini building like the Mini-Dispenser or the joke Mini-Teleporter BANG! put on his chanel would be huge. May give the engie some more use in 5cp. I hope that we're going to see some real new and game changing weapon content, but I feel like the leak is just too good to be true, especially considering Valve's recent record of focusing on making existant weapons useful rather than adding new ones.
