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

[QUOTE=Croshi;37405352]New ambient sound for koth_king[/QUOTE] Speaking on koth_king, exactly 3 servers I saw today running it, 2 had <5 people, the other was full, but was instant respawn. Wow... that map fell off in popularity FAST. More servers running Harvest at decent sizes (12-20 people) than Kong King...

[QUOTE=AbeX300;37405500]But Harvest [b]is[/b] KOTH...[/QUOTE] i'm talking about the new maps, and harvest isn't relatively new (it can be considered "classic" but not like the stocks of course) I have a feeling people go on new KOTH maps, play a while, say "ok its [i]this[/i] again" and get out of there

[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;37404794]Nothing to speculate about, but I found this in the GCF, it's called "hanging_sign_01", it gave me a good laugh. [img]http://horobox.reager.org/u/Ubermunchkin_1345984596.png[/img][/QUOTE] That's old, from the swamp theme

[QUOTE=AbeX300;37405439]Is the map actually good in general?[/QUOTE] it's one of the better KOTH maps, but it's no Harvest.

Does TF2 crash upon exiting the game every single time for anyone else?

Now with a couple of MvM servers up, I wonder how long they'll stick, I honestly can't predict how long MvM will stay popular but unless they're going to build on it I'm not optimistic.

[QUOTE=mixshifter;37405793]Does TF2 crash upon exiting the game every single time for anyone else?[/QUOTE] Mine use to do that, I didn't really care because It was just exiting the game. Then it began crashing on map change and I got fed up and eventually reformatted my computer...Now it only crashes in MvM.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37404351]the song fits TF2 fine, Faster Than a Speeding Bullet and Petite Chou Fleur are both calm songs in the soundtrack.[/QUOTE] Everone forgets Rocket jump Waltz :(

[QUOTE=Primeduck;37406420]Everone forgets Rocket jump Waltz :([/QUOTE] Which is sad, considering that it's fourth on my most favorite TF2 musics.

I'd really like a new sentry for the engineer but what I would love is a new dispenser. That would be the bees knees.

I'd like some MvM-specific items besides the container buff thingies.

[QUOTE=mixshifter;37406803]I'd like some MvM-specific items besides the container buff thingies.[/QUOTE] I'd like the opposite, I want the SNIPER! lines to be used in regular gameplay.

[QUOTE=slapdown3;37406488]I'd really like a new sentry for the engineer but what I would love is a new dispenser. That would be the bees knees.[/QUOTE] I'd love to see the Pip-Boy become a PDA instead of a Misc...

[QUOTE=Erfly;37406849]I'd like the opposite, I want the SNIPER! lines to be used in regular gameplay.[/QUOTE] And I want the option of having the bots use the robot models. They also better add in a freakin' Engineer robot model.

I think this week we'll probably see less of a straight bug fix and more adding some small new features.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37407081]I think this week we'll probably see less of a straight bug fix and more adding some small new features.[/QUOTE] Which will also probably create more bugs that will never be fixed.

[QUOTE=AbeX300;37407088]Which will also probably create more bugs that will never be fixed.[/QUOTE] And no new crates either.

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;37407143]And no new crates either.[/QUOTE] The lack of new crates has to be effecting the sales of keys. Crates are so easy for them to make, just stick a few weapons in them and call it a day.

Same company that made Bonesaw and Fire Axe useless, made weapons with [b]either[/b] a situational upside or downside, etc. etc..

Original Fire axe Phlog Pretty boys pocket pistol There, I just made a very easy crate that is very enticing for people to spend money opening

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37407153]The lack of new crates has to be effecting the sales of keys. Crates are so easy for them to make, just stick a few weapons in them and call it a day.[/QUOTE] The reason there's no new crates is because they added the Mann Up tickets. Think about it, if there's somebody who is the kind of person who regularly opens new crates, they're likely to buy tickets too. And it's pretty clear that it's designed to require more money for a decent payout.

I'm kinda disappointing with the buildings on MVM maps, So many cool paces you could jump/rocket jump on but you can't. I guess it's so people can't get away from bots. Also is it just me or do the new engineer lines sound weird, especially "SENTRY BUSTER!"

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37407201]Original Fire axe Phlog Pretty boys pocket pistol There, I just made a very easy crate that is very enticing for people to spend money opening[/QUOTE] Not enough items. Original Fire Axe Phlogistinator Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol Gentleman's Ushanka Fruit Shoot Virtual Reality Headset Chance of Unusual Cosmetic There we go.

Community Crate -Shovel -Kukri -Fire Axe -Escape Plan -Winger "Because fuck you for wanting a new crate."

Is it just me or do the new engie sound files sound almost nothing like what he usually sounds like?

Strange pip boy would make for a very enticing crate.
