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

[QUOTE=johnlmonkey;36503237]Yes, lets get disappointed before the updates even over, look at the sniper vs spy update. I'm just saying, valve promised big, and theres still another day left and MtP.[/QUOTE] Realistically, tomorrow what we have to look forward to is Meet the Pyro and a Valve-made Pyro set, and to be completely honest if the Scorch Shot is what they're pimping for Meet the Pyro I kinda doubt we may even be getting Valve made set. Today they kinda shouted "AND INTRODUCING THE SCORCH SHOT, THE PYRO'S NEW TOY" as if it was the only thing they had to show off for him. It doesn't bode well. The weapons we're seeing look pretty cool, but as it is this is shaping up to be a very loud but small patch, not the update that took half a year to make.

[QUOTE=NapyDaWise;36502296]Sniper glasses bodygroup guys.[/QUOTE] This. Imagine the possibilities. Also big congrats to SVDL, Elbagast and most importantly populous. The wait was long and damn painful but vindication finally came. Also bravo for valve on picking an all-community-top-rated lineup.

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;36503062]How is moving slow as fuck from new weapons and having an attendant charged pyro the Scout's idiocy?[/QUOTE] It's the scout's stupidity because they're making themselves an easy target. You have a double jump, or even a triple jump if you have the atomizer, use it. It's very easy to jump to an area where the pyro can't easily reach you.

[QUOTE=psyke;36503261]and the new shit on the last day will probably be a 3 item pyro set just like on the uber update.[/QUOTE] I don't think it's entirely unlikely that the third day will be firstly either a comic or Meet the Pyro, after meet the Pyro will be the page with the new items. The third page could then be MvM plus the grodbort (Fuck I don't know how you spell those things) packs (Because they like robots, are pretty futuristic and technological). After all, we've had updates with items and new gamemodes/maps on the same page before.

No melees is really weird. Melees are usually the easiest things in the world for Valve to add. I don't believe they couldn't cobble together stats for the Sniper and Soldier melees of those sets. Especially Sniper, his set is just missing one weapon.

Yeah, after all of that ARG shit last week, this is disappointing so far. No more ARG? What I wonder, is going to be the use of the garbage people collected last week. Is it still dropping even? Kind of hope Valve would do one more ARG event today while we wait for Day 3, but that's being too optimistic I think. It's almost like they had this big idea to have us running around combining and trading this garbage and figuring out puzzles but then they reached a deadline and said "fuck it, put out the content"

[QUOTE=Grimhound;36503307]Spy calls Pyro to get Soldier out of his house. Pyro burns his house down.[/QUOTE] With the lemons.

I wonder how fast a Blaster scout would die if he got hit by a critical Phlog shot...

You guys are acting like children who haven't received the things they wanted during their birthday.

[QUOTE=mooman1080;36503313]Miles of pages backwards.[/QUOTE] I kinda need it if you're going to bring it in as evidence in a pseudo-argument.

[QUOTE=Rebbe;36503336]oh god oh man oh god oh man oh god OH MAN OH GOD [i] seems pretty multiclass for something called the Pyromania, khm [/i][/QUOTE] Just a reminder, the Uber Update saw five soldier weapons and only three for the Medic.

I'm gonna disagree on the valve-made pyro set suggestion. "plus a new toy for the pyro" doesn't seem encouraging to the idea that he's got more to come. I was going to suggest more for the engineer, but, shit. He actually, finally has enough nowadays, doesn't he? Who hasn't gotten anything in a while? The medic, I guess?

[QUOTE=The Calzone;36503368]Just a reminder, the Uber Update saw five soldier weapons and only three for the Medic.[/QUOTE] Quality over Quantity? (referring to the current number of items we have from this update to the last, of course, which i doubt)

[QUOTE=Whiskered;36503320]From all that stuff only SMG looks cool for me, probably I'll stay with stock. And rate me bowxes but probably I won't even use this weapons ever, like I have actually never used eureka, brass beast, kunai,big earner and many others.... But I am still hyped as fuck for all this stuff, if someone will like this new stuff I will be happy with that.[/QUOTE] Yes, we're going to rate you dumb because you choose not to use a weapon.

[QUOTE=igotopinions;36503188]huh, thought I posted this just now. I guess it didn't go through all the way? Anyway, I'm really digging these stats. 3 goddamn weapon packs. That's enormous. Let's look at how we're lined up with the uber update so far: Pyromania day 2: Gamemode/map, 3 class packs, achievements Uber Update day 2: Map, 4 class packs Jesus christ, so far we're ahead of the game's biggest update yet. Nice! I don't expect this to match it, since they just said "massive" rather than "biggest to date", but I'm still pretty anxious for day 3 to arrive. Only thing worth complaining about is more obsession over my least favorite class, personally. Could we please have a comic for once that focuses on another class? Sure, he's funny, but it's not like he's even the funniest. They don't need him in every scene.[/QUOTE] The game mode is basically a ctf variant and we only have one day left as opposed to the two days the Uber Update had.

[QUOTE=Zannabluke;36503361]You guys are acting like children who hasn't received the things they wanted during their birthday.[/QUOTE] It's kinda like having your parents miss your birthday by a few months, so I guess said child is kinda allowed to think that they're getting something amazing if it too their parents this long to get them their birthday gift.

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;36503364]I kinda need it if you're going to bring it in as evidence in a pseudo-argument.[/QUOTE] Top of the image, right side [thumb]http://valvearg.com/tfhunt_w/images/0/0d/Landing_bg_02.jpg[/thumb] It means theres more coming. If it was just a pyro set they would've done what they did with the Uber Update, but they didn't. They even put in a warning to prevent it being spoiled.

I quite like the weapons so far. Might buy the pack, not sure yet.

The only thing that Baby Face gun is going to cause is easier to backstab scouts. Pistol seems nice. Sniper set looks really solid, and the Soldier weapon will at least be fun to use. Now the Scorch Shot... I think it's use will be more of a long range airblast I.E. instead of derpy pyro airblast fights near a cliff, just blast em off from a distance. Or getting an engineer to fall of the roof on that last point of Frontier. It's like the Pyro's Mantreads the way I see it. The designs are great and I'd like to congratulate the people who got their items in.

[QUOTE=mooman1080;36503405][t]http://i.imgur.com/LaNvH.png[/t][/QUOTE] Neat, I guess No spoiler alert text, just Don't open till Dec. 24th type?

Only the Cleaner's Carbine and the Scotch shot looks good to me.

[QUOTE=royaldanney;36503372]But in most cases melee weapons turn out rather shitty and unnecessarry?[/QUOTE] Sniper's melee slot is balanced. They could have made the Sniper knife swing faster, so it made the SMG crits more valuable. Soldier could be similar, maybe "Swings faster when crit boosted" to foster a Kritz Soldier who runs out of ammo.

[QUOTE=Shoe Phone;36503401]Yes, we're going to rate you dumb because you choose not to use a weapon.[/QUOTE] I did not even tried them as their stats don't convince me to do so. BOWXES
