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

Well, we got at least 3 weapons confirmed at this point, 2 of them have to be from a Grordbort set (either Medic or Scout's), and that new flare gun.

[QUOTE=BanthaFodder;36489765]I find it funny how everyone expects *PROBABLY SPOILER* [sp]Poopy Joe's rocket to actually take off[/sp] rather than [sp]explode along with its nuclear payload, wiping everyone out[/sp]. Note how it's called [sp]DOOMSDAY[/sp] and how we found all those [sp]sound files for nuclear explosions[/sp].[/QUOTE] Yeah, and one of the pins is a [sp]nuke explosion[/sp]

I'm just happy we're getting a new game mode! I was sick of control Point maps and Payload. People need to come down to Earth and actually appreciate that this update is not just gonna be more hats and weapons and a map (Barnblitz was a disappointment for me, last part is nearly impossible). And what if it's not TOBOR? I don't really care cuz this day got me incredibly hyped for the rest of the days! Edit: pageking? I only have one word: Banana That is all

[QUOTE=COSTA;36490072]Well, we got at least 3 weapons confirmed at this point, 2 of them have to be from a Grordbort set (either Medic or Scout's), and that new flare gun.[/QUOTE] Though, I strongly believe we'll get both Scout and Medic's sets anyway. At the workshop they only added the cosmetic items, but I also think those are ready to go as well. They just didn't want to reveal them to the public. Would ruin the surprise.

[QUOTE=alpha00zero;36490051]I dunno if it was already said, I might have miss it. Do you guys think there might be a Day 4? An extra day, the day of the update shipping? I dunno.

Also in the screenshot of the map it looked like there was a big ass laser pointing at the rocket. I take it if they don't fuel it up in time they blow the missle up, stopping poopy joe but killing all the mercs near the rocket.

The only problem I have with it is I really wish they showed some new weapons on the first day, a vague game mode description doesn't give as much to talk about as new weapon stats.

What I'm looking forward to with this update more than any hats: * Team colored Unarmed Combat * Clan Pride and Photobadge Textures fixed * Painterly filter rereleased * Projectiled Reflected Strange Part actually counting Demospam reflects and other projectiles I hope the last two of those actually get in.

Perhaps it's the opposite of payload in that it explodes and kills everyone if neither team succeeds within the time limit.

We can all expect the team colored Unarmed Combat fix soon.

[QUOTE=Fillmore;36490148]They're saving it for later, if the guns came before the gamemode, it'll be like eating dessert before the main course.[/QUOTE] Ideally, the game mode should be more exciting than new niche weapons. The act that this game mode isn't is what has some people's johnnies twisting. [QUOTE=COSTA;36490168]I believe ned's last bug fixes will ship in the next update. We can all expect the team colored Unarmed Combat fix soon.[/QUOTE] If Eric is to be believed, yeah. I'm just more exciting about that than a lot of other possible things, because I've always liked that weapon.

[QUOTE=Fillmore;36490148]They're saving it for later, if the guns came before the gamemode, it'll be like eating dessert before the main course.[/QUOTE] But I want it nooooooww.

[QUOTE=Fillmore;36490148]They're saving it for later, if the guns came before the gamemode, it'll be like eating dessert before the main course.[/QUOTE] they could at least show a weapon now, so we don't have to wait 15-17 more hours to get something to even think about.

[QUOTE=Fillmore;36490148]They're saving it for later, if the guns came before the gamemode, it'll be like eating dessert before the main course.[/QUOTE] I want 2 desserts!

I really don't see a way to explain why there are more rockets, and if Poopy Joe died, there can't be another happening like this

Won't it confuse the player? I recall something small like the Half-Zatoichi glitch used to confuse me a bit back. (Did they even fix that? The Demoman's sleeves having red sleeves on blue team, if I remember correctly)

Either that or Poopy Joe respawns like everyone else in TF2. Or maybe the losing teams Poopy Joe explodes... [editline]26th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=COSTA;36490247]Reversed too?

Okay, I think maybe here's the pace. It's one I think would make a bit of sense, without tomorrow being a nutso super content day. Today: Doomsday + Story Elements Tomorrow: Start day with a comics + 3 Teaser Community Sets. Add 3 more community sets through the day over several hours to spread out the hype Wednesday: Story elements in the morning, then Meet the Pyro later, ending with Day 3 an hour later. Update ships that night. Day 3 is MvM and Tobor, Tobor being an element of Meet the Pyro that is spoiled. This is also when the Scorched Shot, Baleful Beacon and a Valve Made flamethrower make an appearance. Thursday: Day 4, show off the Weta Scout/Medic packs on their own day. This is the only thing on this day, as these are essentially promo items. Obviously, these items would be in the game already, but... whatever, Weta gets their ad day. Probably a Medic/Scout specific comic too. Friday: Day 5, wrap up of other bonus content. Teaser for the Saxxys coming "Summer 2012" Other than that, I don't see the pace being great. Tomorrow looks like it's going to be very packed, either that or the update is not as big as we think, and we're looking at 3 sets (2 weta made) and some general Pyro items. That's... not a reality I want to think of. [editline]26th June 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=COSTA;36490247]Reversed too? It makes sense sure, but what's your opinion in the matter?

It's not a popular item, and Scout has very prominent and obvious team colors (unlike, maybe Heavy)

It isn't actually launching a monkey into space. My first thought was disposal of evidence. Though based on the reaction by the senators after they talked to the Administrator? Something tells me this could be far more interesting, and Valve will leave us blueballed again.

Meet the Medic day 5 didn't have a splash screen or anything, it was just a post.

[editline]26th June 2012[/editline] It was the same problem with the Soldier, and they still haven't fixed it.[/QUOTE] That could work, I believe it's going to depend on the upcoming days, TOBOR could actually be connected in some way. It's nice that they picked up old parts of the TF2 lore for this update, some people didn't know that Poopy Joe existed since 2009! I'm happy with what we got, bring on Day 2!

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36490282] I don't care either way. It's not a popular item, and Scout has very prominent and obvious team colors (unlike, maybe Heavy)[/QUOTE] I just imagined RED Scout with Slate-painted Fast Learner with blue Unarmed Combat. Jesus.

[QUOTE=Atlascore;36490311]I'm pretty sure there's only going to be two more updates, there's only three days listed on the site and Meet the Pyro is releasing on the last day.[/QUOTE] Day 1 - 3 aren't updates, they lead up to one big update. Valve has done an extra day in the past.

Day 1... Day 2... Day - Sorry guys we can't do this. We need to try that again. Day 1 - Part 2.

Getting real Scout update vibes from this. I know it's day 1 but... I don't know. Tomorrow expect a whole day dedicated to an update to cp_egypt.

All this poopy joe stuff is just a teaser for next year's update.
