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

So I was just thinking, what if during Doomsday, instead of the Announcer berating us while we fight, her lines are replaced with Poopy Joe barking commands at us with patriotic monkey shrieks of freedom?

[QUOTE=dageek;36485096]It says pretty clearly that the rocket is for Poopy Joe.[/QUOTE] Spy can be disguised as poopy joe and he's going to use sapper on joe's rocket.

[QUOTE=Rayss;36485104]Hahaha guys what the hell. We can't seriously be disappointed. They started a 3 day update. Meet the Pyro is coming out in 2 days, what more could we ask for? I understand that the map is a bit disappointing because it's basically a reskinned version of Scavenger from L4D2, but I see it as a little extra on top of a massive update. Clearly, we're still getting MvM. There's no doubt in my mind that there's at least one other gamemode that Valve plans to release over the course of this update. If anything, I think the only reason they released this "meh" map for the first day is to set the stage for something bigger. I mean, think about it. They used the ARG to introduce all these monkey, space, and junk themes, then they finally follow through on it on the first day, which clears up most of our questions about our findings in the ARG. But what I'm really hopeful for is how our junk items will be used in relation to this update. The fact that they haven't announced their official purpose yet leads me to believe they might pull something similar to the Potato Sack ARG where you could speed up the release by gathering potatoes (or in this case, junk items). It's just a theory, but I know for certain that Valve won't let us down. Let's be real, when they say [B]massive[/B] update, they mean it.[/QUOTE] Did you really post this in two threads

I crafted every single item I own I now have a refined metal hahahahahah what you poor fuckers I'm rich as hell

I am so fucking excited for the coming hours

[QUOTE=Sardonus;36485267]I crafted every single item I own I now have a refined metal hahahahahah what you poor fuckers I'm rich as hell[/QUOTE] The new items require only weapons to craft. Now what?

[QUOTE=Ceiling Man;36485199][img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32066954/sad-sitting.png[/img][/QUOTE] [img]http://s19.postimage.org/pocd90875/check.png[/img] Thus begins a most dangerous game also [url]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Hidden_pages[/url] quite a track record for hidden pages there valve.

[QUOTE=Sardonus;36485267]I crafted every single item I own I now have a refined metal hahahahahah what you poor fuckers I'm rich as hell[/QUOTE] It's okay, you can let it out

I hope this new game-mode is like TFC's attack/defend, or VIP. I can't help my pessimistic self from thinking that this will be a relatively small major update. It's only three days long, and they only revealed a map + game-mode today.

[QUOTE=Hunkyy;36485287]The new items require only weapons to craft. Now what?[/QUOTE] oh deary me well, a refined metal is enough to buy a hat or something silly, right? I wanted a hat. I have currency to acquire a hat. what what bitches

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36485232]well, we're almost to another turn of the hour.[/QUOTE] What happens? I've been gone all morning.

I'm trying to wrap my head around how exactly this new gamemode is going to work. It kinda sounds like it'll be similar to the final few minutes of plr_hightower, but maybe without the problem of the elevator dropping back down if no one is on it? I dunno, they've just given us too little information at this point. I can't wait to try it out!

So there releasing stuff every hour on the hour? Btw ihe the hour

[QUOTE=Ceiling Man;36485303]What happens? I've been gone all morning.[/QUOTE] they're posting secret links all over. Seems we've been getting new stuff every hour (?) First we got a banana, then the wallpapers. Were they an hour apart? I was eating lunch.

[QUOTE=Sardonus;36485299]oh deary me well, a refined metal is enough to buy a hat or something silly, right? I wanted a hat. I have currency to acquire a hat. what what bitches[/QUOTE] Plot twist, the update is made by Adult Swim, and it has 0 new hats.

I hope they make this into a t-shirt on the valve store [t]http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m66oa5fDVx1qcn852o1_1280.jpg[/t] [editline]25th June 2012[/editline] oh god damn ninja

I can guarantee it will drop here too, that's kind of essential

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36485386]Day 1 hit at 11:30 EST Banana hit at 1:00 EST So another thing in a half hour?[/QUOTE] Medals?

It's already my wallpaper :)

[QUOTE=Young Lu;36485395]Medals?[/QUOTE] Valve wouldn't do something like that again.

[QUOTE=Venezuelan;36485393]the elevator dropping is a "problem"? I can guarantee it will drop here too, that's kind of essential[/QUOTE] It's only a problem for the remaining hair on my head. BECAUSE I TEAR IT OUT. If I don't have a decent team on that map it's very easy to get frustrated. :v:

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36485386]Day 1 hit at 11:30 EST Banana hit at 1:00 EST So another thing in a half hour?[/QUOTE] you forgot the wallpapers.
