Major Update Speculation/Recap thread

[ned_ballad]

[QUOTE=Goodwell;32558191]The Griefblower itself isn't shown, i recall. But you see the scythe off to the side.

You also catch a glimpse at some stuff from the Soldier Dumpster pack and i believe Mean Medicine.[/QUOTE]
Yes both of those are also in the trailer.
The garden Pyro was the highlight of that video though, since the other two packs were in the STS leak.

Anyway, unless Demoman is somehow getting 2 packs, GreenMarine wasn't exactly being honest when he said the next Demoman pack would include explosive weapons.

What I think we're looking at for this update are
- Gardening Pyro (Griefblower, Scythe and Garden Hat)
- Pirate Demoman (Peg-Leg, Scrumpy, Bombs, Hat)
- Mean Medicine (Medigun, tongs and needlegun)
- Junkyard Justice (Rocket Launcher, Shotgun, Backpack, Shovel, hat with custom grenades)

I also think that will be rounded off with an Engineer pack. A few really nice ones have been submitted since the Uber update, so I definitely see one of those being included. Scout had a hat in the schema called "Backwards Cap" which could have been the baseball cap from Suburban Scout. That pack was nice looking (I wasn't a fan personally, but it was designed nicely), so maybe that pack is in. Or maybe it's a totally unrelated backwards cap. It's not like that's a crazy new idea for a hat.

he meant the misc bombs

I'm gonna say Wednesday at the latest, seeing how that high-five taunt HAS to be for Portal 2 DLC. I don't know what else it'd be for.

[larolaro]

Well if they don't update tonight, Valve have lost an ideal day to release a big update on. The Manniversary Update would have been great. :(

Oh Clovernoodle, where would we be without your optimism?

[JoeJohns]

[QUOTE=Populus89;32558399]:smith:[/QUOTE]
and then all my hopes were dashed.

Time to go cry a little...

[Populus]

All I can say for sure that I have no idea whether any kind of update comes today or not. So you people still have your hopes at least.

Maybe this time instead of smashing through the glass he will Crash through the roof?

[Joppari]

my refined is ready
(18)

[Inspecter]

If this update doesn't come out I'm going to to be sad.

[Zadrave]

No, he will crash through the air.
Because he can.

[QUOTE=Joppari;32558566]my refined is ready

I had around 10 refined yesterday but I crafted them up after I got bored so now I have about 3.

This means there will be a major update soon.

[Bryceanater]

1.33...
Can someone spare?

[ned_ballad]

I don't know why you guys collect metal.

If you keep them as weapons, it's so much easier to craft the new weapons. I have 2 pages of spare weapons just waiting for this update.

I'm fairly zertain [del]your heart[/del] that there have been people who have gotten their stuff in without being e-mail notified first. I may be fabricating memories, but I do certainly recall something like that happening.

Hopes... rising... again...

4 scrap... just trying to get some metal from my stranges... it's been like that for days.

I keep both. Because I know most of the new weapons take a reclaimed and a few weapons to make now.

Yeah, [I]without[/I] being notified [I]prior[/I].

[Goodwell]

Come on...please be real, update! Pleeease?

...I'll be your best friend!

If you don't come out you missed a GREAT chance for a celebration update.

[NeoDement]

You do realise updates often come out about 5 hours from now!?

[JoeJohns]

I KNOW I'M SO EXCITED FGSFDS

[Goodwell]

[QUOTE=NeoDement;32558702]You do realise updates normally come out about 5 hours from now!?[/QUOTE]

Yes, but i've nothing else to talk about. And i don't wanna play TF2 in order to save drop time if something DOES end up happening!

[mooman1080]

[QUOTE=NeoDement;32558702]You do realise updates often come out about 5 hours from now!?[/QUOTE]Oh hell no, don't start the count downs again.

[ned_ballad]

The Mannconomy update was pretty early iirc.
