Major Update Speculation: V8: Rise of the Machines! - Games

Finally downloading MvM. Couldn't at launch or the last few days as I had no access to a computer that could run TF2 without issues.

Only been playing MvM these past few days, so I decided to replace some of the skins Red texture's with the Blu's, along with the Grey Robots, it's glorious, and it's not that confusing if I say so myself, I don't know what the beta testers had problems with...

Damnit Valve why did you STILL not add your new splash screen clip in? For those that don't know what I'm talking about: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVbc71mst3w[/media] I think I may need to mod it in at this point.

[QUOTE=J-RcZ;37327633]Maybe they are afraid that people will be scared?[/QUOTE] If they are, it would've been taken out from Portal 2 (after they added it in), Dota 2, and CS:GO, wouldn't it? Shit, why does the item server have to go down on me?

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;37327648]If they are, it would've been taken out from Portal 2 (after they added it in), Dota 2, and CS:GO, wouldn't it?[/QUOTE] Maybe they think that TF2 players are easily scared? This theory is silly.

[QUOTE=J-RcZ;37327729]Maybe they think that TF2 players are easily scared? This theory is silly.[/QUOTE] I for one would actually like to see the 12-year olds get freaked out by it.

[QUOTE=J-RcZ;37327729]Maybe they think that TF2 players are easily scared? This theory is silly.[/QUOTE] well we lost the whole plot device of mvm because the autistic spergs they gave the beta to got confused, so i wouldn't put it past most of the tf2 community.

Matchmaking server goes down right when I start playing for the first time today -_-

I mean we have the Valve Eye group, and we have the Valve head group, and now we have the Valve creepy head turn group.

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;37327869]Hint: Portal 2 used to have the 2nd clip before PeTI[/QUOTE] huh, weird. Doesnt matter much to me though as for all my valve games I have the intro turned off. I didnt even know Portal 2 had the newer one till I turned it off for it.

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;37327869]Hint: Portal 2 used to have the 2nd clip before PeTI[/QUOTE] Well Half-Life 2 had the Eye clip until the Orange Box era.

[QUOTE=1112e;37327803]Doesn't that effect PvP too?[/QUOTE] Yes, but when I want to play PvP I just remove the textures.

I mean, would it be hard to disable some hitboxes for entities?

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;37327588]Damnit Valve why did you STILL not add your new splash screen clip in?[/QUOTE] Isn't the one currently in TF2 just a flat texture? I don't think that engine branch supports videos in the intro.

Yay, the item server's back up.

[QUOTE=Jetamo;37328208]What the hell are you saying?[/QUOTE] Playtesters for MvM got confused by having the defenders be both red and blu, so it was changed to having the defenders be red and the robots blu. Which is absolutely idiotic.

[QUOTE=wunderufl;37326009]Quick-Fix upgraded to overheal, fast charge, and a couple shared Kritz Canteens makes you a real force to be reckoned with. You get the benefit of speeding around with Scouts and charging Demoknights, flying about with rocket jumpers, taking huge dents out of tanks and giants with Kritzed Heavys or Pyros, and keeping everyone superhealed with one Ubercharge after another. Oh, and you get to level up your Strange weapon without taking out a mortgage on your house to buy one (seriously. f*** you, Salvaged Crates)![/QUOTE] The other thing about the Quick-Fix is that when you upgrade the overheal, ubering with it [i]overheals the medic as well[/i]. Seriously, it does so much for survivability when you're hovering around 250 HP most of the time.

Where's the information about the play-testers being confused from? I'm curious as I've never seen any official statement or something like that.

[QUOTE=The Calzone;37328343]Playtesters for MvM got confused by having the defenders be both red and blu, so it was changed to having the defenders be red and the robots blu. Which is absolutely idiotic.[/QUOTE] ...is it so set in our mind that to always shoot the other color? I mean I have seen halo matches where folks wearing BOTH red and blue coloring on their armor and folks get confused who is on their team and who isnt. Though Valve can then later on make it that Red Team decided to defend all the buildings while blue team is going about destroying the carriers..if they set the bots back to wearing grey

[QUOTE=MightyMax;37327784]well we lost the whole plot device of mvm because the autistic spergs they gave the beta to got confused, so i wouldn't put it past most of the tf2 community.[/QUOTE] [citation needed]

[QUOTE=The Calzone;37328343]Playtesters for MvM got confused by having the defenders be both red and blu, so it was changed to having the defenders be red and the robots blu. Which is absolutely idiotic.[/QUOTE] The best (and cheap) way to fix somehow the problem of the team is quite simple: Make them random. Sometimes the human team gets Blue and the bots Red and sometimes the human team gets Red and the bots Blue. After all the red bots are in the files but unused.

Yeah, we really need a citation. I don't see Valve ever making a mode where both teams were working together, specially in the early stages, plus it's not easy to code. I don't see them having Red and Blu against robots to begin with. Are you sure someone didn't make that reason up?

Yeah, I reckon that's a reason someone pulled out of their ass. Let's change the subject! [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4379567/artpass/meem.PNG[/img]
