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

[QUOTE=Simski;36504286]I think because people always expect new buildables, and new buildables are sparse both in quantity and quality. Because let's face it, even most of the very popular ones often have very extreme gimmicks in their design or are modeled/textured in a way that is not consistent with Engineer's other buildables. Even if there were plenty of good options, I reckon it's probably also a bitch to come up with new designs that are both fun and balanced in the game.[/QUOTE]I think most people would be fine with a primary and secondary, pistol, set with possibly melee

when did they change the countdown background

Basically, they discovered that they don't think it's possible to swap out dispensers OR Teleporters, as it impacts the team too much.

[QUOTE=alexdom;36504325]sadly its not even a pack , its one weapon and a hat and miscs :<[/QUOTE] To be honest, the only other thing than the Launcher and the Grenades I found interesting about that pack was the Shotgun. Imo, not a terrible loss, because the Launcher still sounds badass.

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;36504311]mtp will not show up when the countdown ends first the site has to crash[/QUOTE] Actually I think it will. They have their Meet the Team videos on YouTube.

[QUOTE=FLUDDGadd;36504141]could you show us this in more detail?[/QUOTE] That's from a screenshot I took after the first background change when I first saw it: [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/r8b2nc.png[/IMG] The Day 2 gauge looks better than the Day 3 one. Day 2 looks right ahead and Day 3 looks at his left. Or maybe I should just put down my tinfoil hat...

I was hoping for a horribly off-pitch screeching from the broken bugle, but whatever. At least the best parts of the set were added.

Okay so we're not supposed to click day 3 until we watch meet the pyro What could the reason for that be? :S

[QUOTE=Mattbru77;36504356]They talked a lot about it in the engineer update. Basically, they discovered that they don't think it's possible to swap out dispensers OR Teleporters, as it impacts the team too much.[/QUOTE] I still want mini-dispensers though. Mini-teleporters might be overpowered.

[QUOTE=psyke;36504386]Okay so we're not supposed to click day 3 until we watch meet the pyro What could the reason for that be? :S[/QUOTE] well, it's not weapons, those don't seem to be spoilerized.

Probably showing off a weapon. Unlike Meet the Medic, where we saw the Quick-Fix long before we saw the video.

Fuck it. I'll post it anyway. [img]http://www.niggaupload.com/images/m6DOd.png[/img] Styles?

[QUOTE=psyke;36504386]Okay so we're not supposed to click day 3 until we watch meet the pyro What could the reason for that be? :S[/QUOTE] Robots, robots everywhere...

[QUOTE=mixshifter;36504420]Fuck it. I'll post it anyway. [img]http://www.niggaupload.com/images/m6DOd.png[/img] Styles?[/QUOTE] Nope. one of them is flipped.

[QUOTE=mixshifter;36504420]Fuck it. I'll post it anyway.

[QUOTE=psyke;36504386]Okay so we're not supposed to click day 3 until we watch meet the pyro What could the reason for that be? :S[/QUOTE] Like I said, they'll reveal his face in MtP and the promotional art on Day 3 will feature maskless Pyro along with the "De-Masking" Taunt Rate me Disagree and Rainbows all you want, I insist that if and when I'm right I have the right to laugh at every single person who doubted me

[QUOTE=psyke;36504386]Okay so we're not supposed to click day 3 until we watch meet the pyro What could the reason for that be? :S[/QUOTE] same as with MtM where they show the weapons and more. by more of course i mean the pyro :l

more like the second image is mirrored because Elbaglast mirrored it in his promo art Valve painted over.

Huh, I wonder if this means we'll get a backpack bodygroup.

[QUOTE=Simski;36504405]I still want mini-dispensers though. Mini-teleporters might be overpowered.[/QUOTE] What would mini-teleporters be? Limited use teleporters that builds faster?

One looks to be a lot higher than the other. D:

That one-handed firing for the new flare gun better not be just for show. I'm saying it right now. I'll be pissed.

[QUOTE=Simski;36504364]To be honest, the only other thing than the Launcher and the Grenades I found interesting about that pack was the Shotgun. Imo, not a terrible loss, because the Launcher still sounds badass.[/QUOTE] Depends how severe the aiming randomness ends up being. It's why I think a lot of people don't like the Direct Hit or Liberty Launcher. One kills any splash, which is a huge part of Soldier, and the other screws with the rocket speed, which a lot of people are very familiar with, and eats a rocket for it. If stuff stops going where you want it to and when you do, it might not see much use.

[QUOTE=mixshifter;36504464]One looks to be a lot higher than the other. D:[/QUOTE] nah it's just a big bag [img]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/614975232900202081/ACB9F8F6EBECC5CB6D507FF09164568BEC9EE5F9/600x337.resizedimage[/img]

[QUOTE=Grimhound;36504481]That one-handed firing for the new flare gun better not be just for show. I'm saying it right now. I'll be pissed.[/QUOTE] It's for an obvious cinematic effect in the video.. Everyone knows all of TF2 Team's animators died in a tragic hat-delivery accident.

[QUOTE=Clovernoodle;36504445]along with the "De-Masking" Taunt[/QUOTE] My Pyro will take off his ghost head to reveal a person. Yes.

oh boy the city on fire got updated, let's check what's new [t]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14742854/ShareX/2012-06/2012-06-26_23-01-07.png[/t] :suicide:

It looks so small in the promotions to the point where I thought they'd have to had made a bodygroup finally, but it looks like that's a no.

[QUOTE=AbrahamLincoln;36504513]My Pyro will take off his ghost head to reveal a person. Yes.[/QUOTE] Hey, I can't even tell you how many ghosts were unmasked in Scooby-Doo that had people beneath them I WANT TO BELIEVE
