What's THAT supposed to mean? You're saying you think a website going down has something to do with tf2's possible update? How? SPUF is crappy, it always goes down..

probably means that you always have a tin foil hat on and that its rare when you say that its nothing to do with the update

Because now Ned's making conspiracies out of anything.
[QUOTE=PyroCraz3d;29619115]Because now Ned's making conspiracies out of anything.[/QUOTE]
Ned wasnt making any conspiracies, he was just stating that SPUF has been down for quite a while.
SPUF isn't connected to the TF2 item servers at all.
I just thought it was kind of odd how long SPUF has been down. No real connection to the leak, just a little weird given the timing is all.
I don't think this is happening any time soon now. I have a lot of doubt at this point. The closest it can happen is thursday and if they're doing it day by day, that won't work very well.
[QUOTE=Jorori;29618590]I think it will be like this:
Raid can be:
- A neutral CTF mode (I'm dead sure it will be this)
- Like Team Fortress Classic's "Hunted" gamemode (probably not)
Speciality can be:
- Weekly objectives à-la Left 4 Dead 2's mutations (I [B]really[/B] hope not)
- A vanilla mode ([img_thumb]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/img_thumb])
- Gamematch options like "Only Melee", "Only Scouts", "Only Taunts" (Like those "custom matches" in Super Smash Brothers)[/QUOTE]
Raid doesn't sound raid-y when you're just going after a neutral flag. If anything, it reminds me of UT's Bomb (Gravity?) Ball (Can't remember the name, but ball was in it.) where you just nab the ball when it spawns and try to score it through your hoop. In fact, let's get that in. Except the ball is a scout covered in demo stickies, all crits. :v:
Speciality sounds different. If anything it'd be like what you mentioned about the "Scouts only" "Kill 100 Engineers" or someshit. Which doesn't make sense to do unless a reward is involved.

There's no guarantees they're going to do it day by day.
I would lose all hope and call it a day, but I wouldn't get so hyped that every night it doesn't happen is crushing defeat either.
[QUOTE=Nzdjh;29612963]The unfortunate thing is that this also means the update may still be a long way off.[/QUOTE]
Not necessarily. It's possible that they wanted to send out the old, leftover emails before they ship the next update. It might even be a sign that the update is coming as soon as tomorrow.
[QUOTE=Reimu;29618417]How do you guys think the two new game modes will operate <:?[/QUOTE]
A reliable source told me about a string relating to Raid Mode that was not leaked with the other screenshots so it wasn't widely spread. I'd rather not say what it is but I suspect that it involves NPCs of some kind. And veils.
Granted, that's a big assumption on my part.
I think raid mode will go like this.
Red defends several intel or something like it and blu has to get them all.
Red will have 30 seconds to set up
Not saying i would prefer this just saying what it sounds like to me.

BLU has stolen all of RED Pyro's gasmasks! Escort him/her to the stash and steal them back before someone sees his/her true identity!
I have confirmation from SPUF mods that it was ddos'd
But anyway, I'm getting impatient D:
SPUF DDoS'd? lolwat? This seems awfully random.
meh i wonder where is the fun in ddosing a forum

I get it! There are two teams - a defensive team, who is trying to stop the offensive team to capture/raid their control points. Perfect!
Oh wait. . .
TBH I like SPUF better this way.

That just sounds like medieval mode, but without the weapon restrictions. Not sure if want.
So, it's like Rush from Bad Company 2?
Needs more tenth class civilian thrown in somewhere.
AND MAKE HIS UMBRELLA DOUBLE AS A SHOTGUN!

?
If the defensive team had some sort of boss monster defending their control points/flag, that would be amazing. It would be tough to balance, though.

It is also known as Control Point.
[QUOTE=NubFM;29621174]It is also known as Control Point.[/QUOTE]
Gravelpit-style 3cp is different from Medieval-style 3cp in the sense that the offense actually loses the control points if they take too long to take the final point. It's an interesting twist, but would be pretty bad in regular play since the defense would just turtle the last point with sentry guns.
