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

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;36503424]Neat, I guess No spoiler alert text, just Don't open till Dec. 24th type?[/QUOTE] It was a glitch so it's nothing fancy. It wasn't supposed to be there in the first place and valve immediately took it down.

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;36503288][t]http://puu.sh/DR03[/t][/QUOTE] When scout falls to the ground, he turns into a spy.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36503438]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] It's not about balance. It's about useless unlocks, like the Shahanshah and the Warrior's Spirit. They aren't gamechanging at all. They're just there, despite being balanced.

[QUOTE=psyke;36503158]i just don't understand why they'd give scout ANOTHER set if they know the weta ones coming too.[/QUOTE] Because Valve wants more the other set. But if they give more weapons or set ot any other class but the pyro, Im going to by piss.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36503343]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.[/QUOTE] Then again, the game already has a shitload of melee weapons. Perhaps Valve decided that the melee weapons were too boring, or perhaps that they simply weren't as interesting as the weapons. Either way, I personally don't give a flying fuck that there isn't any new melee weapons because we're up to our balls with them already.

[QUOTE=psyke;36503415]i do kinda agree with you in a way here the way it's worded makes it sound like it's pretty much all he's getting.[/QUOTE] Well that's kind of sucky. Yet again classes steal the show away from the star of the update.

Actually I like the Scout set. Now I can disguise as a Scout without being spotted because of the speed.

[QUOTE=Venezuelan;36503404]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] Where are you getting ctf variant from? The fact you'll likely need to carry something at some point? What about the tracks?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36503459]Well that's kind of sucky. Yet again classes steal the show away from the star of the update.[/QUOTE] With the video, the Medic was star enough last time. And it won't be anything else tomorrow.

[QUOTE=psyke;36503158]i just don't understand why they'd give scout ANOTHER set if they know the weta ones coming too.[/QUOTE] But did Valve ever even hint the new Gordborts ones are getting in? The way I understood is the reason they made them for the workshop was because they were submitting them like a normal creator as opposed to a promo deal, and had to go through the same review process we do. Of course, Valve will likely have to scramble to add them, as everyone gets hyped for these things. Almost seems unfair :v:

[QUOTE=royaldanney;36503478]With the video, the Medic was star enough last time. And it won't be anything else tomorrow.[/QUOTE] Soldier stole that show with an entire day dedicated to him.

[QUOTE=SLBros.;36503472]Actually I like the Scout set. Now I can disguise as a Scout without being spotted because of the speed.[/QUOTE] Not gonna work if hes holding a scattergun Maybe have melee out on shown, since there is no melee? Also is the speed that noticeable? One time I fooled someone into thinking I was legitimate because the servers low grav looked like a double jump

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36503493]Soldier stole that show with an entire day dedicated to him.[/QUOTE] Oh noes. And you always had the need to think about how evil that bad soldier was a day before when you finally watched that fantastic movie? Like, seriously, what the fuck...

I'm really quite happy with the weapons models they chose. They all look really gorgeous! I was a fan of the Dumpster pack trumpet secondary, but oh well. It's funny how Valve seems to be really enthralled with "building uber-esque meter" concept. So many of the newer weapons have it now.

[QUOTE=The Calzone;36503368]Just a reminder, the Uber Update saw five soldier weapons and only three for the Medic.[/QUOTE] Don't forget the 2 miscs for soldier and 2 hats. Medic got jack shit in terms of cosmetics.

To be honest, I kinda hope there's a Heavy themed update next year.

[QUOTE=igotopinions;36503474]Where are you getting ctf variant from? The fact you'll likely need to carry something at some point? What about the tracks?[/QUOTE] Tracks were props in a lot of maps before payload, and still are, they don't mean anything. Considering the point looks to be symmetrical, that means one track for two teams. If they were used for something, it would have to be something confusing and overly complicated

[QUOTE=SLBros.;36503472]Actually I like the Scout set. Now I can disguise as a Scout without being spotted because of the speed.[/QUOTE] What's probably going to happens is that people now spycheck scout more often.

>Day 3 comes along. >A full Engi set complete with new buildings.

You know what? I'm going to be optimistic here. Maybe the content this update is being displaced by the massive about of fixes Valve is going to include in this update. Maybe every single creator-submitted fix is going to get in! God I hope that Valve includes those fixes. I believe the fact that Valve isn't going to include those fixes is becoming slightly less true as the minutes tick on. I believe that Valve's laziness in the department of fixing things was just a lie coughed up out of an Origin Executive's spurious asshole. I believe in the Valve-made set. I believe that MVM mode isn't bullshit. I believe heartily in the tactfulness and work ethic of all of those loving Valve employees up in Seattle, and that the millions of dollars they are making off of this game is going towards polish and better Public Relations. I believe with the conviction of a million frothing SUFites in the combined work ethic of a TF2 team one thousand men strong, and the erections that those team members get when they think of balancing the game. But most of all, I believe in YOU, Gaben. [I]I BELIEVE IN YOU. [/I]

it would be pretty sweet if the pyro gets a personal taunt like the mtm taunt

Why I feel nobody is going to use the new scattergun unless the boost charges pretty fast?

[QUOTE=Croshi;36503536]To be honest, I kinda hope there's a Heavy themed update next year.[/QUOTE] Meet the Heavy Pt. 2 - "NOW IS COWARD KILLING TIME!" [QUOTE=HazzaHardie;36503567]it would be pretty sweet if the pyro gets a personal taunt like the mtm taunt[/QUOTE] The one shown on the page looks pretty iconic.

It just occurred to me that the slower run speed incurred by the Blaster may make the Scout disguise on spy a little more believable. o boy here come the dead ringer spies

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;36503567]it would be pretty sweet if the pyro gets a personal taunt like the mtm taunt[/QUOTE] I want a weapon specific taunt too. I'm fucking pissed that he hasn't got any new ones at all yet, and Soldier has gotten like 5 new taunts or something. Fuck. I say it again, I am going to fucking MURDER someone if Soldier's new Rocket Launcher gets a new taunt and the Scorch Shot does not.

Heh, for Sniper and Soldier they just painted over art supplied by the contributor >_> How lazy

Uh people won't care about the scout speed [i]with a single unlock[/i]. They will spycheck you anyway. [QUOTE=ned_ballad;36503628]Heh, for Sniper and Soldier they just painted over art supplied by the contributor >_> How lazy[/QUOTE] Why not take the art if it looks good and already made? Better than letting it rust on the dark pages of accepted items.

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;36503567]it would be pretty sweet if the pyro gets a personal taunt like the mtm taunt[/QUOTE] Calling it now: Pyro will be de-masked in MtP, and the new action taunt will be him/her/it removing the mask, thus being able to get the maskless Pyro in-game without needing a new headgear w/ new voice lines

[QUOTE=Grimhound;36503551]>Day 3 comes along. >A full Engi set complete with new buildings.[/QUOTE] Dont worry engie fans! we only left out the medic
