Major Update Speculation Thread V4: Tonight's the Night For QR Codes - Games

[QUOTE=dageek;36483514]The "error" was probably on purpose[/QUOTE] I don't think so, it doesn't look professionally done or comically humorous or witty. It just looks like an accident left unnoticed.

I guess we know for sure that the Pyro isn't Poopy Joe now...

The image with the cryptic text is: [url]http://media.steampowered.com/apps/tf2/pyromania/landing_bg_02b.jpg[/url] Drop the last 'b' from the filename and you get this: [url]http://media.steampowered.com/apps/tf2/pyromania/landing_bg_02.jpg[/url] Which is the same image, but WITHOUT the script. It seems some temp at Valve messed up.

[QUOTE=Duodecillian;36483559]I wonder how Adult Swim is going to be involved..[/QUOTE] not in this i don't think

Here's a clearer look at the text: [url]http://i.imgur.com/RccFe.png[/url] I guess I was wrong, it does look like they accidentally left it on the bottom part of the BG and not the top.

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;36483561]Disappointment. [editline]25th June 2012[/editline] Well fucking excuse me if I was waiting for MvM.[/QUOTE] The point is, no one actually ever knew what this was going to be, even you. So how can you be disappointed. You built up some fantasy in your head yourself.

[QUOTE=mac338;36483547]Source?[/QUOTE] I've yet to see a gameplay-affecting item you can only get by purchasing it.

hey, there's that achievement with the number 138 on it. Like that Foundry achievement where you need to win 138 times. why 138? is it important in any way? what I know for sure is that it's impossible to achieve normally :v:

Only problem I have with the update is that the new map uses the same old generic desert theme. And even then it doesn't matter all that much, since gameplay is much more important than aesthetics. So far, I'm liking this update!

[QUOTE=igotopinions;36483584]Refresh my memory, I had missed this in action, but didn't something similar happen during the Saxxies?[/QUOTE] The page had some weird outlines which were a perfect size to fit the Meet The Medic in, and every one went crazy over it, expecting the MTM to get released.

GUYS. I'M ON PAGE 118 AND TRYING TO GET CAUGHT UP. SLOW THE FUCK DOWN WITH THE POSTS PLEASE.

I'm going to be boxed into oblivion, but I'm already underwhelmed. 6 months of wait for a 3 day content release where the first day is just a one map game mode. Unless the next 2 days are milk and honey beyond all mortal comprehension... meh.

[video=youtube;u0HgQLsaAh8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0HgQLsaAh8&feature=g-all-f[/video] This been mentioned yet? Apologies if it has, too much Pyromania on the brain.

OHMYGOSH IT'S DAY ONE OF AN UPDATE. :dance:

[QUOTE=zach34;36483067]That was... underwhelming. If Valve keeps at this rate for each day I can only imagine 1 set of weapons being released. Day 2: 1 set of new weapons Day 3: Soho map and MtP[/QUOTE] *2 sets... both Grordbort packs Also, Soho is only in the alpha stages. There's no way its done yet. We'll probably get Pyro Pack + something else? on Day 3.

[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;36483690]Edited to be raid mode during the first 6 seconds after the post, please do keep up.

And I only wrote about this single fact as well. You're acting illogical because your dreams didn't become true, yet.

Based on Day 3 being spoilers, it's probably Tobor related.

was meet the medic released before or after the uber update?

is it wrong to think that the TOBOR stuff might not be in this update? Unlikely that the saxxies are coming in as well.
