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

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37371832]"it's only one one class" wat? So is the G Wrench[/QUOTE] For some reason I was thinking of the Saxxy :v: But really, is there an actual reason to make it available in any way ever again? "Not being available" isn't a good reason. It's meant to be really rare and "exclusive", that's the whole point of it. Deleting all of them would make more sense than making it available to any new guy out there.

I really want these to become posters that you can buy from the valve store [t]http://puu.sh/Y3CF[/t] [t]http://puu.sh/Y3CI[/t] [t]http://puu.sh/Y3CR[/t] [t]http://puu.sh/Y3CU[/t]

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;37372536]I really want these to become posters that you can buy from the valve store[/QUOTE] Actual signs would be even better IMO. I'd buy them all.

also happy birthday TF

>Thursday >birthday Could tonight be... the night?

And on a thursday at that. I expect nothing beyond a re-release of the birthday stuff from last year.

Correction: that's actually tomorrow

[QUOTE=Kapellmeister;37372822]>Thursday >birthday Could tonight be... the night?[/QUOTE] An update to Team Fortress 2 has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart Team Fortress 2. The major changes include: - Added night versions of official maps. [B]Undocumented changes[/B] - Added "Nightcap". Viewing the tooltip with Eliminating the Impossible set will show a description saying "Tonight is the night." [/obligatoryfakejokeupdate]

It's the 24th in New Zealand. Clearly that was ned's intention.

SPUF lied to me

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37373022]SPUF lied to me[/QUOTE] You believed them?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37371404]I don't like weapons that are 100% unobtainable and unmoveable at all, and whose distribution was on a shaky "random" system.[/QUOTE] I kind of like knowing that there's a weapon I'll never have or see ever. It sort of discourages the collect-em-all sense that new items can give off. It was that awful obligation to have everything that made the halloween gift system so crappy. EVERYONE HAD TO HAVE EVERYTHING. I don't know about you, but I made the game a lot less fun for myself by always keeping the next gift in mind, rather than just seeing what happens. That sucks! Thankfully it's not so bad that people don't seem angry or unhappy when a teammate in Mann Up mode gets luckier than the others in a drop, but it's still very easy to imagine folks insisting on getting every single robot cosmetic. It's a really bad system for completionists, and I'd like more items that firmly communicate that you are almost definitely never going to see everything. You could make a Fool's Australium Golden Wrench incredibly rare, but just look what unusuals did to players!

I'd be happy with the re-release of last years stuff + a cake/sandwich replacement something fun and lighthearted

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37373022]SPUF lied to me[/QUOTE] This is why it's a shit source for anything

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;37373221]This is why it's a shit source for anything[/QUOTE] probably the more likely situation is the thread about "it is TF2's birthday tomorrow!!!" made yesterday was made by a European in the wee hours of the morning.

[QUOTE=BigJoeyLemons;37365590]Sorry for the change of gears to something that's a little late, but wouldn't the botkiller guns look far better if they had the barrel jammed through the Heavy head's jaw, so it's like he's spitting bullets at you?[/QUOTE] I think that the Botkiller sniper rifle would have been better if there was the demoman's robot head and that it's eye would be the scope.

Yeah, having the robot heads change up a little would be much better.

Putting traditional class counters on would be neat. scattergun would have a demobot head flamethrower would have a spy head sticky launcher would have an engybot head (except that they don't exist) minigun would have a pyrobot head wrench would have a scout head (or a spy head) srifle has a heavy head (or another sniper's head, I suppose) knife has a heavy head Not sure what you'd do with the RL and the medigun, though.

[QUOTE=hogofwar;37373500]Yeah, having the robot heads change up a little would be much better.[/QUOTE] "[B]MANN UP: TOUR 2[/B] Just buy "Tour of duty 2" tickets for $1 per mission." Seriously though, if they don't do this, then someone had better hoard tickets when the price dips a bit lower (1 ref ish, it's been anywhere from 1.33 - 1.66 in the cheaper markets). New tour comes out. Suddenly "[B][U]SELLING TOUR OF DUTY TICKETS 1.5 KEYS EACH PRICE IS [I]FIRM[/I][/U][/B] EDIT: if it wasn't already clear, I'm suggesting that future tours will have something like this, either new heads, or at least new weapons, secondaries probably, and that the sudden new tour will cause an unreasonable jump in ticket price.

I don't think they will. No point in making new rewards when single digit percents of people have the previous tour's rewards

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37373666]I don't think they will. No point in making new rewards when single digit percents of people have the previous tour's rewards[/QUOTE] You don't there will be any difference in rewards for the new tour? Just a different map?

I want the new Tours or the new official missions to have names and like little images, like Left 4 Dead posters! Like a Spybot-based mission or tour named "Live and Lets Spy" or "Spy Another Day" or " The Spy Who Stabbed Me" with a Spybot duisguising himself into an engineer, or behind a human Soldier. Or a Heavy-centered tour named "From Russia with Guns" with an image of robot parts and the head of an heavy robot on the ground with bullets flying everywhere. [I]James Bond movie puns not obligatory[/I]

Yeah, their naming is pretty lazy, at least in some parts of the game. "Advanced" "Advanced2"

What else would they call it? "Advanced" and "Another advanced"? They aren't different difficulties - just different wave compositions. The only one that is significantly different is mannworks, and that has a different name.

[QUOTE=Armisael;37374041]What else would they call it? "Advanced" and "Another advanced"? They aren't different difficulties - just different wave compositions. The only one that is significantly different is mannworks, and that has a different name.[/QUOTE] Different wave compositions do mean different difficulties, it is impossible for two different "missions" to have the same difficulty exactly. Also we are talking about a game that has reskins, the axtinguisher and the postal pummeler for example. They are both exactly the same functionally, so why be named differently? It should be called Axtuinguisher2. If you can't tell that was my attempt at a metaphor or simile or something, just take the differences in appearance of them as the wave composition and the functionality being the same as the difficulty.
