Major Update Speculation Thread V3: Tonight's the Night, forever and always - Games

I don't know how I feel about paintable weapons. But I think decals would look cool on weapons! Imagine this on the side of a Rocket launcher [img]http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f292/eeluk/100_2265.jpg[/img] But of course we'd see boobs, dicks, and memes on everyone's weapon if they had any amount of user customization

[QUOTE=testinglol;36363637]I signed a nda like one month ago. You can say that you signed it and what you saw but can't give any info about them. If you do, you go to jail like that german kid. But if you don't sign anything and leak stuff (Sob concept art), they can do nothing.[/QUOTE] He never went to jail, actually. He's had AMAs on Reddit. The authorities of his native land stopped him from extraditing himself.

I got 10 refined, 23 craftable weapons and 4 craft hats. Come at me update.

I wish these Ghost Recon items would go tradable already, then I can have more metal/craft items for the update

[QUOTE=Magmacow358;36364089] Now what would be cool is a medigun that dispenses ammo[/QUOTE] Medigun with an overheal that dispenses ammo instead of health buff. Like the Quick-Fix, perhaps not as fast a healing rate, with an uber that simply allows for unlimited shooting with no reload. Ha-ha, think of the stickies! I wonder if that'd be super overpowered, incredibly weak, or just plain useless. I'm terrible at figuring that stuff out without actually playing with it in-game.

So remember how I was like "fuck my computer's broken" for like 6 months straight and couldn't TF2/get back into Gmod after a year's hiatus? [I]Guess who's the lucky motherfucker getting a new computer this weekend?[/I] 6 core processor, 10 GB Ram, 1.5 TB Hard Drive, 1 GB Graphics card... I don't know what the [I]fuck[/I] any of that means, but the nice man at Best Buy told me it so I think it's pretty sweet. Anyways so I'll be back into TF2 probably just in time for the update.

10 GB of RAM is unnecessary, but okay.

[QUOTE=hogofwar;36366993]Why not 2gb graphics card?[/QUOTE] Does only matter at loading processes anyway. In Team Fortress 2 you don't need to load much stuff.

[QUOTE=hogofwar;36366993]Why not 2gb graphics card?[/QUOTE] *shrug* 'Cause I don't understand a thing about computers. We were looking at two desktops specifically, but the one with the 2GB wasn't in stock and the other was available for order or something like that. 'Sides, they said while the GB are different between the two graphics cards, they were basically both the same level of graphics.

Medigun with an uber that gives an unlimited clip; you can hold M1 without any problem.

[QUOTE=Demon!;36366973]10 GB of RAM is unnecessary, but okay.[/QUOTE] You can never have enough RAM. Never.

How on earth do you get 10 GB of RAM? 4 2.5 GB sticks? Do they make 5 GB sticks? (and I have 16 GB, for reference)

it's pre-built, so it probably has a less than optimal graphics card, plus 6 of those gb of Ram are going to go entirely unused by a majority of your programs. It'll probably work for playing TF2 just fine, but you'll want to upgrade the graphics card eventually. Protip: Year/half year old graphics card models can run 99% of games at max settings, but cost sometimes less than half what a cutting edge card costs.

We'll see how it runs before we spend more cash on a new graphics card, but I have a feeling I'll be satisfied. :D

[editline]17th June 2012[/editline] I have 8gb of ram btw and I run TF2 on max settings, with max AA, fancy particles and HWM on. Bodies don't disappear for 5 minutes, and a 50,000 decal limit. I've never had problems with TF2.

[QUOTE=Demon!;36366973]10 GB of RAM is unnecessary, but okay.[/QUOTE] If he's going to render videos and such it's gonna be REALLY helpful

I hope saxxies work like the gibus does. Then Clover can have a Saxxier Saxxy.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36367134]google tells me HP does 2 5gb, must be a special kind or something, do they even sell 5gb? I thought it had to be 2^x?[/QUOTE] It normally does, but iirc you can get away with it at the cost of the "extra" being significantly slower than normal. That "extra" 2GB will be treated seperately to the other 8 because 2 is a prime number. Data will not be able to exchange between the 2GB and the other 8GB which means if any program is actually using above 8GB of RAM to run, that 2GB extra will be nearly useless to it because it'll be so inefficient, but if you've got one program using 8GB of RAM and a different program using the other 2GB, the other program can make full use of the 2 gigs. Or something like that. Don't quote me on that because I actually have no idea what i'm talking about and i'm going from memory from some magazine I read and I can't even remember which one, so that may be [I]entirely[/I] wrong.

[QUOTE=Damoman;36367228]I hope saxxies work like the gibus does. Then Clover can have a Saxxier Saxxy.[/QUOTE] I can imagine the Saxxier Saxxy having a Saxxy on top of Saxton's head

[QUOTE=RPG;36367337]I can imagine the Saxxier Saxxy having a Saxxy on top of Saxton's head[/QUOTE] The Saxton Hale will have his right arm reaching forward and in this very hand he'll be holding another Saxxy.

[QUOTE=DatWut?;36367353]The Saxton Hale will have his right arm reaching forward and in this very hand he'll be holding another Saxxy.[/QUOTE] Now imagine this is a yearly event. 20 years later and you've got a hell of a model.

I wonder how long they're going to keep the gibus going.

[QUOTE=AlfieSR;36367917]Now imagine this is a yearly event. 20 years later and you've got a hell of a model.[/QUOTE] Basically the M.C. Escher of tf2 weapon models. So utterly long and repeative you can't tell what side is hitting you, who is holding it, or even how far the melee reach extends, but now your dead. and your corpse is a gold statue.

[QUOTE=AlfieSR;36367917]Now imagine this is a yearly event. 20 years later and you've got a hell of a model.[/QUOTE] At first they'll buil a cube out of Saxton Hales, holding each other on the leg.

[QUOTE=Citizen Insane;36365508]I got 10 refined, 23 craftable weapons and 4 craft hats. Come at me update.[/QUOTE] I have 5 ref, around 100 weapons, and 27 craft hats. I'm getting sick of waiting.
