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

I'd like to think that one day there'll be a map where we're on offense and we'll get to be BLU, but we'll see. Just did my first Mann Up, it was a blast. Really pleasant people too, which... I imagine is not the norm.

[QUOTE=Jetamo;37328864]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][/QUOTE] The Fashionable Megalomaniac fits perfect on the medic bot too.

It sucks that robots follow the Halloween restrictions. I tried applying that but no luck.

[QUOTE=AkujiTheSniper;37328905]It sucks that robots follow the Halloween restrictions. I tried applying that but no luck.[/QUOTE] It's less the robots and more the halloween items themselves. Even placing them in maps in Hammer editor will cause them to appear as giant ERRORs on non-full moon days.

Halloween theme for this year: Robots wants to have right to live like a mann , goes back and fights with gray , they get their freedom . or Robots wants real human bodies to transfer their mind into them .

What if this year amongst the wave of bots we get robotocised versions of the two previous bosses. Horseless Headless Horsebots and MECHANOCULOUS!

I want a halloween MVM update to add more enemy types, and also to make them paint themselves as zombies. This way, we can not only get [QUOTE=Ray-The-Sun;37313544]robot pirate scotsmen[/QUOTE] but can also pre-emptively upgrade them to [I]Zombie[/I]-Robot Pirate Scotsmen.

Hey did anybody else get two Steam Communty Beta Passes?

Why is it that every server I join everybody is [b]FUCKING RETARDED?![/b] "I'll just put my sentry at the spawn" or "I'm going to use the direct hit!" Or "I'm a demoman AND I DON'T USE STICKIES!" [img]http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg8/scaled.php?server=8&filename=keyboardh.gif&res=landing[/img]

[QUOTE=Fury McFlurry;37329684]The DH is pretty good, practice makes perfect.[/QUOTE] No. No it isn't. I'd much rather someone use a default rocket launcher because holy shit the direct hit is useless when you get the barrage of demomen or scouts

Send me a fax when Valve announces some new weapons.

[QUOTE=zombays;37329696]No. No it isn't. I'd much rather someone use a default rocket launcher because holy shit the direct hit is useless when you get the barrage of demomen or scouts[/QUOTE] If they're using the bison as their primary, I'd rather they have the DH than any other launcher because then they can switch it out for the solo giants/tanks. Of course, you shouldn't use the DH as your primary. It lacks the volume abilities that the others have.

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;37329777]Send me a fax when Valve announces some new weapons.[/QUOTE] You seriously think a fax will be possible? I mean, thos're going to take some time. :v:

[QUOTE=Folseh;37328699]...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] Or those bots would be red, to keep up with the theme of attack/defense teams.

[QUOTE=COSTA;37328634]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] in one of the commentary nodes for episode 2 they changed the antlion caves around so it was linear because some stupid fuckhead kept making a right that would send him back to the start of the maze just something to think about for valve playtesters

[QUOTE=Robmortar;37330027]in one of the commentary nodes for episode 2 they changed the antlion caves around so it was linear because some stupid fuckhead kept making a right that would send him back to the start of the maze just something to think about for valve playtesters[/QUOTE] The number of dumb stories I've heard about playtesters leads me to think one of two things is true: Either Valve puts waaay too much stock in what over-stimulated, starstruck teenagers think directly after playing an unreleased video game, or only COMPLETE IDIOTS live within visiting distance of Valve HQ.

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;37329777]Send me a fax when Valve announces some new weapons.[/QUOTE] like the ones we got a few weeks ago and then the ones we got a month before that? Weapons are hardly the thing to pick out. We've had lots of well balanced, fantastic looking (and sounding) weapons over the last two months.

[QUOTE=wunderufl;37330171] or only COMPLETE IDIOTS live within visiting distance of Valve HQ.[/QUOTE] :(

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;37330591]winger.jpg shortcircut.jpg sharpenedvolcanofragment.png[/QUOTE] Besides none of those being primaries, some people do find them useful.

[QUOTE=Venezuelan;37330836]Besides none of those being primaries, some people do find them useful.[/QUOTE] The Short-Circuit? Really?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37331046]The Short-Circuit? Really?[/QUOTE] ...I could see it to mess around against the rocket and the demos

[QUOTE=Folseh;37331057]...I could see it to mess around against the rocket and the demos[/QUOTE] Everytime a Demo sets an elaborate sticky trap around the spawn gates during set up time for payload, I just get a devilish grin as I equip the Short Circuit and the gates open I destroy the stickies before the Demo even detonates them. But besides that, I can barely find a use for the Short Circuit as an Engineer, the shots just seem to unreliable, eats too much metal and take too long for each shot.
