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

I really don't mind reskins, if they are fun, let's do it. And yes, Last Year NotLU was to damn close to the actual Halloween update, maybe this year they will flow nicely into the game.

[QUOTE=mphayes97;37635147]so, what are you gonna do, crap out some half ass reskin weapons, overpriced rare crates, restricted cosmetic items, and a boring boss? yes[/QUOTE] FTFY

I hope this Halloween they add Halloween-o-Vision, which makes it so you can actually wear the Halloween costumes all-year round, either that or just out right remove the restriction. The costumes are wonderfully made and seem wasted with the Full Moon restriction tagged on it.

So I wonder how long before people start saying "tonight's the [I]fright[/I]".... Eh? Eh? This joke brought to you by the back of a bubblegum package.

Wait... What if we get a Halloween-themed MvM map? [img]http://www.teamfortress.com/images/posts/halloween_2012t.jpg[/img] Notice that the team is RED, and the hands are BLU? [b]What if we fight ghosts?![/b]

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;37635280]Those are clearly Wallmasters. Even more terrifying than ghosts.[/QUOTE] I honestly thought those were neon-blue prop hands attached to sticks, when first looking at it. Damn the shadows and the small picture/my high-resolution.

[QUOTE=TonicBH;37635308]It'd be silly for them not to make a MvM map for Halloween. They gotta give the mode some additional content, otherwise people aren't gonna care.[/QUOTE] No worries! They'll make a Halloween reskin of 2Fort, and that'll be the new map! :v:

2spookyfort someone had to do it

[QUOTE=TonicBH;37635308]It'd be silly for them not to make a MvM map for Halloween. They gotta give the mode some additional content, otherwise people aren't gonna care.[/QUOTE] And not just a re-texture of an already existing map.

[QUOTE=AbeX300;37635349]No worries! They'll make a Halloween reskin of 2Fort, and that'll be the new map! :v:[/QUOTE] Didn't someone already do a Halloween reskin of 2Fort, BooFort?

A Halloween themed Special Delivery map might be neat.

[QUOTE=Archimedes;37635396]A Halloween themed Special Delivery map might be neat.[/QUOTE] because the gamemode is so fucking stupid i [b]GUARANTEE[/b] that the halloween map will be sd

Honestly, Decoy_Event with some new interesting waves would be fine.

[QUOTE=mphayes97;37635348]reminds me of master hand and crazy hand from super smash bros[/QUOTE] Would be awesome if the boss was a ghostly Master/Crazy Hand. It would be much more awesome than Monoculus, that's for sure. But you know, they won't do it, because it's too awesome.

[QUOTE=mphayes97;37635433]because the gamemode is so fucking stupid i [b]GUARANTEE[/b] that the halloween map will be sd[/QUOTE] I know, I'm excited too.

Grordbort Weaponry? Been a while we haven't heard about them.

What of there was a HHH styled boss in a MvM map for Halloween? I wonder if it could be pulled off without being too hectic.

[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;37635511]What of there was a HHH styled boss in a MvM map for Halloween? I wonder if it could be pulled off without being too hectic.[/QUOTE] The HHH is about fucking things up with his axe just because they are in the same map as him. He roams around freely until he finds someone whose life he wants to end and then he goes to do just that. MvM has a distinct objective where the enemies are bringing a bomb from point A to point B by walking along a set path. The boss type and game mode don't seem very compatible at all.

Monoculus sucked, but he would be better if he was in MvM.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37635477]Honestly, Decoy_Event with some new interesting waves would be fine.[/QUOTE] The map will be remoddeled to look like a neighborhood cul-de-sac who have decorated their homes with halloween decorations. The robots will be trick or treaters and the RED team will be neighborhood residents willing to give the robots their candy, but in this case the candy is [I]explosive[/I].

That culdesac idea gave me another idea; what if Valve makes this update like a corny Halloween movie where the robots take a break from destroying Mann Co and want to ruin the sprit of Halloween?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37635477]Honestly, Decoy_Event with some new interesting waves would be fine.[/QUOTE] I'm still holding out hope that the bots will have custom, Halloween themed paint-jobs. Kinda like Killing Floor does with it's specimens during holidays.

[b]What if we fight ghosts?![/b][/QUOTE] Makes me think in Legion from Castlevania; In fact, I sense the new halloween boss is going to be the ghost from the robots destroyed (and yes, robots can be ghost in tf2 logic) like this: [img]http://thefictory.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/robo_legion_with_legion_from_castlevania_symphony_of_the_night.png[/img]

I want a robot ghost just so Soldier can finally use his "That robot is a ghost!" line

Well to me the hands look like they were photographed and Photoshopped into glowing, so that must mean that a). They haven't modeled the hands yet, or (more likely) b). The boss will be the Spy's missing face.
