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

[QUOTE=schleimgurke1;36495894]hopefully day 2 will be actually interesting.[/QUOTE] Day 1 wasn't completely uninteresting IMO. It just really lacked good/in depth detail on the new gamemode. They should've made the gamemode last day or at least 2nd day content if they were going to be particularly vague with it.

[QUOTE=Razi The Red;36495880] So maybe it's all give away equipment from Hale that she sells. That would float, right?[/QUOTE] Holy Shit. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvoOBbChxb4[/media] She's a cross dressing Moriaty.

[QUOTE=Razi The Red;36495826]I actually have a TF2 lore question: has there ever been any indication of what TF Industries gets out of all this? RED and BLU are controlled by the Mann brothers who think they're gaining/losing territories and facilities in the battle against their brother which keeps them involved. Mann Co. is making a killing selling weapons and ammo to TF Industries who supplies the RED and BLU mercs... But what exactly do they get out of it? I seem to remember something about RED and BLU collectively owning pretty much every major business in the world through some means or another, but yet they are somehow controlled by the Administrator who owns TF Industries... Or did I not remember some of that correctly?[/QUOTE] By controlling RED and BLU TF industries control more than half the governement on the earth

It's awfully quiet around here...

I thought it was that RED and BLU each controlled their halves of the world, with TF Industries being in control of both?

It's 4:47 AM in Valve's timezone atm, so might be a bit of a wait.

The blog post came out at about 5pm GMT yesterday.

[QUOTE=Netsc;36496150]The blog post came out at about 5pm GMT yesterday.[/QUOTE] Earlier than that, 4pm I think it was.

The pyromania page on the wiki was created at 11:28 am est (3:30 pm gmt), so the blog post probably pushed a minute or two before that. EDIT: Oh right, spuf threads keep a useful clock, unlike FP threads. 11:17 am EST.

Remember when Soldier got new animation named Nuke? Judging from that animation, he's unable to shoot, right? Well, he needs a escort? Basicly, Who pickes up that nuke suitcake, will become a new civilian! That means, this mode is mix between Hunted and Neutral CTF!

Seems like it, so those Soldier animations seem to have been scrapped. oh wow it's the third time I'm saying this

[QUOTE=Razi The Red;36495880]Does she resell Mann Co weapons at a higher price then? Hale seems to be her biggest provider. Actually during the WAR! update... didn't Hale GIVE those weapons away to distance himself from the whole Poopy Joe thing? So maybe it's all give away equipment from Hale that she sells. That would float, right?[/QUOTE] I think Hale has partnered with the Announcer (I think they were also hinted to have been together in the past or something of the likes). The Announcer works as a double agent offering her services both to Redmond and Blutarch individually to lead their team against the enemy without them knowing that she is working for both of them. Thus she and Hale both profit from making sure that the war will never end with the brothers putting out expenses for more firepower. This is also why befriending the enemy is extremely frowned upon by the announcer, because it jeopardizes her being exposed to leading both teams.

What is the actual evidence of TOBOR other than the stuff in foundry? I can't remember what there was.

[QUOTE=nightlord;36496286]What is the actual evidence of TOBOR other than the stuff in foundry? I can't remember what there was.[/QUOTE] Basically they've been adding some lines regarding "tobor" and "mvm" to the item schema and other game files, only to remove them later.

what time is it at valve right now

[QUOTE=COSTA;36496299]Basically they've been adding some lines regarding "tobor" and "mvm" to the item schema and other game files, only to remove them later.[/QUOTE] Maybe they added all that tobor stuff to lure us. No they wouldn't do it.

[QUOTE=alexdom;36496324]what time is it at valve right now[/QUOTE] 5:20 AM.

[QUOTE=Razi The Red;36496343]5:20 AM.[/QUOTE] I say that we need to wait at least 5 h from now for any upades or changes.

[QUOTE=alexdom;36496324]what time is it at valve right now[/QUOTE] 8:21am

Wait, wait isn't valve time at this moment -7 GMT or is it still -6 GMT? Uhh, I'm confuzzled.

According to the blog, day one came out at Mon, 25 Jun 2012 14:57:00

[QUOTE=Rageguy;36496354]8:21am[/QUOTE] wait wait wait 8:23 or 5:23 im confused

Uhh, I'm confuzzled.[/QUOTE] From the looks of it, it's usually GMT-8, but ATM it's GMT-7.

i still say day 2 will come in 3 / 4 hours like yesterday

[QUOTE=alexdom;36496377]i still say day 2 will come in 3 / 4 hours like yesterday[/QUOTE] It's probably a bit closer to 5 like Whiskered suggested.

wait shit i fucking posted DC's time dumbdumbdumbdumbdumb it's 5:28am here have some duks [t]https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS5-pGD8vtauP9OXfMIODBG9brX4-0L1XiaV1jQMUyMj5vejV2Kaw[/t] worst update pageking ever

[QUOTE=Rageguy;36496399]wait shit i fucking posted DC's time dumbdumbdumbdumbdumb it's 5:28am worst update pageking ever[/QUOTE] Don't blame yourself. Blame Valve for living in the past.

[QUOTE=Razi The Red;36496408]Don't blame yourself. Blame Valve for living in the past.[/QUOTE] That's what I get for working at microsoft...

[QUOTE=COSTA;36496264]Looking at the achievement icons, you carry the fuel like intel briefcases. It even calls them briefcases in the Doomsday page. Seems like it, so those Soldier animations seem to have been scrapped. oh wow it's the third time I'm saying this[/QUOTE] Didn't read the rest of the post after your post so dunno if late, but if you look at the achievement icons, you can see that there's a Spy standing behind a Scout ready to backstab, and in one icon scout is in his backstab animation. So judging by these, the person carrying the intel/suitcase/bomb/whatever will be slower, because it isn't easy to backstab a Scout unless he's backpedaling or slow as shit. inb4 "you can't backstab scouts?"

2 more hours maybe?
