[QUOTE=PyroCraz3d;31257497]They're unopened, they weren't removed. I can't think of anything else, except the server being friend thing, but that's probably not true. It'll just lag people a lot.[/QUOTE]
I'm HOPING there's more to this. But i'm not holding my breath, as there's no secret links, no day 1, and WETA workshop are really promoting Soldier's pack.
But...i want to believe. I really want to.
Maybe the next few days are sponsored by a different site? Last night's was WETA. Maybe today's will be something else?
[QUOTE=PyroCraz3d;31257258]I honestly do expect an update. Some facts:
1) Valve said they got a bunch of cool weapon concepts from weta. a bunch =/= 2, at least in MOST cases.
2) 2 rockets are unopened. One was opened.
3) We still have to find out what's up with the 2fort and barnblitz rockets
4) They didn't take the rockets out even though this was 'supposedly' the only part of the update.
5) They probably didn't release them all because assuming the polygons/particles are the same, it would fry the server and probably crash them.[/QUOTE]
The addition of the Grockets into the game seems like too much work to only lead up to 2 weapons that were just thrown into the game. Valve usually doesn't do that sort of stuff unless it's very significant but small. This has just been small and not too significant, so I expect there to be more.

I hope it's thinkgeek. They make all the coolest merch.

The dr.grordborts website features an audio story to go along with all this crazy space concept stuff, looks like the rocket is solidly tied to this Weta spin off... whilst Dr.Grordbort's character has been firmly tied to the soldier, there's no telling if any of the other characters mentioned in the 'transmissions' will be tied to Tf2.

I was thinking that too. Why have 3 rockets for only 1 to be opened? That's not like valve.

the soldiers grocket was the badwater one, but the update page shows the 2fort one... strange
[QUOTE=Wolfram;31257702]the soldiers grocket was the badwater one, but the update page shows the 2fort one... strange[/QUOTE]
In the comic it was the badlands one.
[QUOTE=Wolfram;31257702]the soldiers grocket was the 2fort one...[/QUOTE]
I had this conversation with a bunch of SPUFers last night... 2forts rocket was in a barn. Barnblitz was in a snowy tower. The other one, badlands I think, is in a fucking desert area. Guess where the comic took place? IN THE DESERT AREA.
Or was it a mountain? Either way, it was not 2fort.
[QUOTE=Wolfram;31257702]the soldiers grocket was the 2fort one...[/QUOTE]
What really confused me was him having the 2fort grocket behind him...
And then the badwater grocket at the bottom.
It's either hinting to a second pack, or just saying YOU DIDN'T NOTICE THESE YET DID YOU? WELL NOW YOU KNOW
So when is the "expected" update coming out? 15 min?

New pyro hat(s). Calling it.
Edit: JESUS! this poster is $299 D:

That reminded me. Why would they show 2 rockets on the official page if they only intended one to be open? HMMMM? RIDDLE ME THAT!

That's awesome, but sadly it's not gonna happen.
I'm calling the barn one will be the engi opening it.
I mean come on, a barn? It could not be more logical.

It's that price because it's printed on silk

I'll retort with what Valve will expect people to buy, but not my own personal opinion:
He finds them as he goes along, one with the pistol, one with the launcher and one with the hats.

They want to show that the Almighty Soldier can use magic to open two rockets at once.

Nah. He clearly found them both in one rocket. Though, the 2nd rocket looks suspicious.. maybe a link to day 2?

"A rocket full of GUNS!"
Hints that there was more than just the pistol in there.

Heart for you. Because.
Like i said, my opinion is something might happen. And i hope something WILL.

All you know is that your gut says maybe?
Well if it's not within 10 minutes I'll be off to bed and probably miss the whole thing :v:
I'm hoping for an update. One that lowers the particles and polycount.
I hope it'll be something. If not, I can expect to never get any good pyro/engineer weapons to play with :(
[QUOTE=The Calzone;31257902]All you know is that your gut says maybe?[/QUOTE]
Yep. And damnit, i know i'm gonna be dissapointed. But i still keep holding onto the thought of a [B]HA! HA! DAY TWO![/B] update.
The [B][I][U]one[/U][/I][/B] time Valve makes new animations that aren't affiliated to being unlockable/buyable, and it's for new OP weapons. :|
Almost 8, the usual update time for me. I am sort of doubting more days on this update, though...
I do hope there are more packs for other characters. Besides there being 3 rockets like everyone mentioned, it would seem weird for them to foreshadow this update the way they did for just two weapons that only one character can use.
Plus the [URL="http://media.steampowered.com/apps/tf2/grordborts/grord_soldier_1.jpg"]URL[/URL] for the comic ends with /grordborts/grord_soldier_1.jpg. Not to get ahead of myself, but is there any need to put Soldier in the URL if he's the only one getting an update?
