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

[QUOTE=TheFishyG;37607415]The realism that comes with using a paper mask to make a perfect facsimile of one's appearance and voice?[/QUOTE] I think that they just use the paper mask concept to make it clear to the teammates. I think of it more as the Spy wearing a more elaborate disguise, but they couldn't do that without confusing the team you're on. Hard to explain in words.

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;37607553]Refill ammo, repair, hit it for the sake of hitting it. It's as if you've never seen an Engineer with a level 3 sentry before.[/QUOTE] I was thinking of the dispenser thing

If the Pyro ever gets a Scythe weapon, I'm totally naming it Don't Fear the Reaper.

I don't know about you folks, but I'm really getting some Metal Gear Solid vibes from the whole 'hide under dispenser/box and run around undetected' cloak attribute.

guys you know what? You can get unusuals from that package you get when you spend $20 on the store.

[QUOTE=Kaze1;37610420]guys you know what? You can get unusuals from that package you get when you spend $20 on the store.[/QUOTE] oh?

[QUOTE=Suttles;37610437]oh?[/QUOTE] yeah... the guy I got my steaming VRH from got it that way...

[QUOTE=Kaze1;37610451]yeah... the guy I got my steaming VRH from got it that way...[/QUOTE] Huh. Guess some more testing is needed to confirm or deny this.

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;37610495]Huh. Guess some more testing is needed to confirm or deny this.[/QUOTE] got the chat: xxx: Pleasure doing business with you. Umm... got it from the mann co store as a $20+ purchase. So whatever that is. JC: what JC: didnt you unbox it with keys? xxx: No. They give you a gift bag when you spend $20 or more in the mann co store. That's the gift I got. JC: oh god JC: i didnt even know that was possible xxx: You aren't the first person to say that :P xxx: From everything I can tell, the odds are super low. [editline]10th September 2012[/editline] how can I see the attributes for the package? A fast way to confirm or deny this is by checking if it picks an item from the item list or works like a crate when picking items (they have the same way of unboxing anyway)

[QUOTE=Kaze1;37610420]guys you know what? You can get unusuals from that package you get when you spend $20 on the store.[/QUOTE] [holy shit I need a citation please let this be true]

I decided to email Valve about those so-called "performance changes" on Thursday's update. Let's see if they respond.

[QUOTE=Kaze1;37610451]yeah... the guy I got my steaming VRH from got it that way...[/QUOTE] According to backpack viewers, the item's origin is "Found in crate", so either he's fucking with you or the gift bags count as "Found in crate" when I'm pretty certain that the items found in those gift bags is closer to "Store promotion" or something along those lines. The only thing needed to disprove such a claim is to check the resulting item from a gift bag and crosscheck to see if the origin is "Found in crate" or not.

How bad am I for thinking you should get an usual as the 20 promo? I mean, you spent 20 dollars that could have went to a whole other video game in itself, doesn't sound unreasonable to get a super special hat out of it. [sp]Also I want to see how badly the trade community would flip shit at the site of 'dirty' unusual's [/sp] on another note, would setting the rest of the mann up items as paintable be a schema, or valve server side related deal? I want a slate tin-pot

Kinda out of topic but can anyone find the post with the "Give her the ticket" image? I remember it was in this thread.

[QUOTE=Hell-met;37603029]Right, sorry about the vid. Here's round 2. ------------------------------------------------- So I made a video about 2 apparently scrapped MvM entities [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-QFTkd5tsY&feature=youtu.be[/media] The first one (tf_bot_npc_decoy) seems to be a harmless decoy of the player using it. It has the same weapons equipped and almost always runs in a line for ~5 seconds before dissapearing. Not really sure of what valve intended and which class uses it. The best part about it is the incredible potential for a new spy watch. The second one (tf_bot_npc_archer) is valve's attempt into making a bowman its own entity like the horsemann. It has very specific although strange behaviors. Seems like valve simply went ahead with using a normal bot with the huntsman instead.[/QUOTE] [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3784[/url] [IMG]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/632982493476362943/438AB9B2053A4D7E6B7B8516731A05973A21883C/637x358.resizedimage[/IMG] Explanation Designed as a decoy-bot projector. Part of the "Spytech Pack". Includes both a white and black version.

[QUOTE=Kaze1;37610451]yeah... the guy I got my steaming VRH from got it that way...[/QUOTE] Well I'll be damned. I got like 25 of those bags in my backpack. Not gonna open them though, I'd wait for official confirmation. Would Valve confirm this if we asked them nicely enough?

I doubt it. As far as I know, it's simply just a random drop. [editline]10th September 2012[/editline] Big Picture mode is out today TF2 controller support is terrible. Maybe a patch to update it to not be terrible?

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFrL6-OhN94[/media] This is a very commercial sounding commercial.

yea, that almost looked made for TV or something

Would it be condescending to say it was made with current console players specifically in mind? It reminds me heavily of E3 trailers.

"You can even type with a game controller,[I] what's up with that?[/I]"

Distinct lack of hats in that video. Though there were plenty of pets, so I guess it fits the current tf2 item trends!

[QUOTE=Kaze1;37610420]guys you know what? You can get unusuals from that package you get when you spend $20 on the store.[/QUOTE] Wait, does that mean we can get unusual versions of items you can get from the package that don't usually have one ?

[QUOTE=Devozade;37615457]Distinct lack of hats in that video.

I jumped ship from the xbox way back in April 09 when it had become apparent that the xbox would never receive a major update for tf2. One of my biggest gripes with messaging back then was how clunky and slow the interface was. The way Microsoft tried to capatalise on the problem was to sell a controller accessory for $30. [img]http://www.slipperybrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/xbox-keyboard-controller.jpg[/img] So, seeing this doohicky in the trailer made me smile. This could make life easier for a ton of console gamers out there. [t]http://i.imgur.com/TRo2L.png[/t]

"Plus, a web browser for the TV that doesn't suck." I love Valve. Also so many Portal 2 references I can't even list them all

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;37615586]I dont like voice actor[/QUOTE] There's certainly a lot of room for improvement there. Actually, just enough room to fit a Gaben.
