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

Hrm. I suppose the future Summer update is a bit of hope that was otherwise smashed by today's travesty of an update. I mean, Valve can't postpone the summer update, it's the Summer Update! ....unless they cancel the update altogether....

[QUOTE=MacD11;36297057]They Wont.[/QUOTE] There's nothing suggesting it's been canceled, it's not even summer yet. Summer update will probably be two weeks from now

That water in the trailer looks like shit IMO

[QUOTE=HerSilverHammer;36294747]looks like one deep story ehe[/QUOTE] Man, Ace Team did a great fucking job using the Source engine for Zeno Clash, this is not even matching that, hope they can improve from now on.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;36294491]They added a new equip region, called "crsk" It isn't used on anything. I don't know what that would stand for either.[/QUOTE] I believe it's an acronym. I was bored so I started looking for tobor strings in the server and client dll. I only found strings associated to the quickplay search criteria, but the crsk part was present there. [quote] tobor_[b]crsk[/b] search_tobor_[b]crsk[/b] TF_Matchmaking_TOBOR_[B]CRSK[/B] [/quote] I don't know what that acronym could possibly mean, but the update is coming, and it's really close.

could crsk be this? [url]http://www.bcssa.bc.ca/vi/cam/[/url] [editline]12th June 2012[/editline] or it could be this: [url]http://www.crsk.edu.kw/Home.asp[/url]

[QUOTE=Evil_Knevil;36298174]could crsk be this? [url]http://www.bcssa.bc.ca/vi/cam/[/url][/QUOTE] It has to do with water, pyro's enemy... Water based weapons confirmed.

Well. This was anti climactic.

[QUOTE=|eXtv| El Pacho;36298243]Well. This was anti climactic.[/QUOTE] it always is...

I long for the comedy of jarate again. Jarate was genius.

I'm sure its been said a lot already but I'm irritated at Valve. I think this year is by far the worst one TF2 has ever weathered. Even 2010 was better, and thats pretty bad considering how much lollygagging they did with the Engineer update. Why would they even hype TF2012 this much if nothing would happen for this long? Perhaps the new update, game mode, and Meet the Pyro will blow us all away when it comes out, but who knows when it will get here. I'm worried that when the Second annual saxxies come out, that will be the only part of the update for another few grueling months, and September 30th or whatever will be the "actual" update. My fingers are crossed for a substantial update this month, but I doubt it.

Good, I assume we've reached the "all hope is lost" station of the hype train already. Nobody expects the update to come out now, so this means the update or the next set of big hints will hit in the following weeks :v:

Welp, they might as well tie-in the Tobor update, the Saxxies event and the Summer Sale thingie in the same patch.

[QUOTE=COSTA;36299980]Welp, they might as well tie-in the Tobor update, the Saxxies event and the Summer Sale thingie in the same patch.[/QUOTE] My body wouldn't be able to handle the power of that update.

MvM, MTP, Summer, Saxxies, Grordbert.

[QUOTE=hogofwar;36300040]MvM, MTP, Summer, Saxxies, Grordbert.[/QUOTE] why so much people cant spell "grordbort" right ?

[QUOTE=alexdom;36300194]why so much people cant spell "grordbort" right ?[/QUOTE] Because I keep thinking of Bert. [IMG]http://thewholegardenwillbow.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/berts-close-up.jpg[/IMG]

I think it's very possible that MvM and the Saxxy will be in the same patch. The reason being that the new gamemode can give a fresh environment in which videos can be made. Of course it's still possible Saxxy can just come out with some new items, hat/miscs, a new map and tweaking of the replay system. It can also happen with the summer event happens too. Like start making the summer crates drop before the actual Saxxy event. Then the actual patch that starts the Saxxy will also add the content in for the crates as well as the keys for them. Finally when the submission period is over, the patch will end the sale of the keys and start allow the summer items to be craftable. Edit: It's still possible we can get a Day 1 update today or a comic update like the Australian Christmas last year. Tonight can still be the night, just believe!!

I think the Saxxies will be way later this year, like November late. I don't know why, I just see them as being pushed way out.

I just want my Grodbort weapons. And maybe some other weapons too if they have them planned, damn it.

I don't want Dr G weapons I want bullets :( Please give me bullets to fight their lasers Valve Machina, Diamondback and Widowmaker were our last bullet weapons. They were added in August of 2011.

I don't mind Dr G weapons because at this point at least it's something new.

Shotgun Pistol Sniper Rifle SMG Revolver Minigun Everything was either a projectile, melee, or something else

I just want more things to be paintable. and some new unusual effects. (blue fire!)

I am biting my lip at the thought of what new microtransaction-related stunt they'll be pulling with the next big update. I was really upset with how they handled the holiday crates and holiday keys last year. It was really pretty lame to the contributors after the precedent they had set earlier, and frankly, it came across as being uncharacteristically money-grubbing. At least to me.

Or maybe the Saxxies are still in stand-by because they didn't figure out how to fix the replay system yet. There was this game in Thunder Mountain where I was a Sniper, and out of nowhere a Medic gives me Kritz. I killed about half a dozen people during the kritz with my bushwacka and machina, including a minigun-ready Heavy, a Demoman and a Phlog Pyro. Too bad I couldn't even open the bloody replay.
