[QUOTE=ned_ballad;32455540]We know of 3 packs - Junkyard Justice - YM's Medic Pack - Gardening Pyro We also know that a Demoman pack that involves explosives is in the works. From the beta, we can also see that there's a new misc slot dedicated to Demoman's grenades. It stands to reason that this pack would also be included, although I haven't seen too many packs that are both explosive based and have custom grenades included. The Custom Texture badge from the STS leak came back into the light now, as a texture overlay (which adds brushstrokes) was found in the beta GCF. Several of the changes from the beta are being translated right now on the STS. One of these new additions to the STS was "specialty" which was taken off the STS awhile ago. It was included with the new beta stuff, but has not appeared in the beta. All references to sockets have been removed in the beta. That idea seems to have been trashed. Some old unused afterburn related attributes were re-worded to be more like the current attribute style (IE, Damage Bonus/Damage Penalty). The increased Overheal attribute was also edited slightly. A new "expiration date" attribute was added to the beta. We know an enhanced Rocket Jumper is also being worked on, and is just waiting for the art team to make a model.[/QUOTE] That's my job! :v:
I think the beta update has virtually confirmed a major update this week.
[QUOTE=Randdalf;32455997]I think the beta update has virtually confirmed a major update this week.[/QUOTE]If not this week its going to be sometime before October ends, now that is 100% guaranteed.
[QUOTE=Political Gamer;32456161]If not this week its going to be sometime before October ends, now that is 100% guaranteed.[/QUOTE] Well, I'd anticipate 2 major updates before October, one of them being at Halloween. But yes, 1 is guaranteed.
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;32455540] - Gardening Pyro [/QUOTE] Holy shit, do want. [QUOTE=ned_ballad;32455540] - Junkyard Justice - YM's Medic Pack [/QUOTE] Holy shit do not want
Why wouldn't you want new Medic stuff? The soldier stuff, I can see what you mean, but why don't you want another Medic set?
[QUOTE=Scarabix;32457097]Holy shit, do want. Holy shit do not want[/QUOTE]blah I accidentally agreed, I want the gardening pack flamethrower and the junkyard pack. YM's and the rest of the Pyro pack look pretty bad, imo.
Just refresh and re-rate.
There is no more appropriate rating
Hopefully the Double misc update brings in the rest of the styles that were on Pie_tony's list of styles. Although I still wonder why they released the Luchadore styles separately.
[QUOTE=NeoDement;32457389]blah I accidentally agreed, I want the gardening pack flamethrower and the junkyard pack. YM's and the rest of the Pyro pack look pretty bad, imo.[/QUOTE] Makes me wish Valve was more willing to just pick and choose from the better weapons they get in packs and not just the entire thing.
[QUOTE=NeoDement;32457389]blah I accidentally agreed, I want the gardening pack flamethrower and the junkyard pack. YM's and the rest of the Pyro pack look pretty bad, imo.[/QUOTE] The Medigun's pretty decent (Though there were better silhouette concepts during polycount in his thread that should have been worked on instead) but yeah the Tonsil Clamps (looks very awkward, bland and doesn't make any sense overall) and Needle gun (A bit boring looking and that wooden grip doesn't fit or match with the rest of the gun) were pretty bad. [QUOTE=The Calzone;32457822]Makes me wish Valve was more willing to just pick and choose from the better weapons they get in packs and not just the entire thing.[/QUOTE] Since things like the Prairie Heel Biters got in by themselves, I can only hope. (Though the Bigger is Better pack should have gotten in anyways aside from just the misc.)
The jag was part of the jag pack.
Reading this thread gives me tingles. Shame the update comes in the weekend before returning to uni. How to get tf2 out of brain and back into hardworks mode? D:
[QUOTE=Scarabix;32458164]The jag was part of the jag pack.[/QUOTE] Funny how I got rated dumb for posting something relevant. I was just saying the jag was put in the game without the rest of the pack (which I understand because the rest was shit).
You were rated dumb because Jag was Valve-made and was planned to be part of the Engi Update, but they couldn't think of stats for it. Then someone released it's assets (models, textures) in the MannConomy update, so they just put it into the Australian Christmas. [editline]sdaf[/editline] Oh, it WAS part of a pack. Huh. Didn't know that. Well, guess that was an undeserved dumb rating I gave you.

Read my post again, I edited it before you posted.

[QUOTE=Skullington;32486762][img]http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/2930/coverks.jpg[/img] man can dream[/QUOTE]if they add that sniper set with the mustash along with this then i would be happy
According to my poll on polycount packs, here are the most anticipated ones: suburb scout (especially the tirebite) garden pyro (especially the griefblower) vietnam soldier (though all of the soldier packs are anticipated) good ol' days demo (especially lady mac death) cooking papa (most popular set ever) bigger is better engie (though we already have the boots) all medic packs are popular. (my fav is shock therapy, sexy defibs) sniper's outback hunter (especially the two-barelled rifle) Mico27's spy pack (especially the tazer) (this does not reflect my opinion since I'm not fond of the soldier, engie, medic and spy packs)
More explosive weapons for the demoman? Please tell I'm not dreaming, and about that Grenade slot (implying is not gonna be just cosmetic) I like the concept of different kinds of ammo [editline]26th September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Scarabix;32486968]According to my poll on polycount packs, here are the most anticipated ones: suburb scout (especially the tirebite) garden pyro (especially the griefblower) vietnam soldier (though all of the soldier packs are anticipated) good ol' days demo (especially lady mac death) cooking papa (most popular set ever) bigger is better engie (though we already have the boots) all medic packs are popular.

I tough everybody loved that pack
Suburb Scout was a fine pack Garden Pyro is getting in anyway, but the melee isn't that great Good Ol Days Demoman only had the Lady Mac Death and the kilt that looked good. The melee and secondary weren't that great. I couldn't find an entry called "Vietnam Soldier" Cooking Papa is awesome Bigger is Better won't get in There were a lot of really nice Medic packs, I agree Eh, not a fan of the rifle, although I like the SMG since we need a new one of those Mico's pack was fantastic, but required custom animations. I thought Big Game Hunter was a pretty good pack that was kind of unnoticed through the contest. [url]http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=73106[/url]

I don't like big game hunter's melee. The bow was fine. Mico's pack was okay. the promo for it was genius.
you know what else is intresting the whole PCGAMER Magazine deal reckon valve will hand over some information about possible updates to them? i mean. everyone who picked up the magazine for the hat would see it. and generate tons of hype

If anything was in it, we'd know by now I think.

Those packs were sexy. Agree with ned for the rest.
