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

[QUOTE=Pako;37692513]A Giant Soldier wearing the Killer's Kabuto and the Half-Zatoichi with increased speed *shudders*[/QUOTE] wouldnt it be kind of easy to kill, since you could just use another Half-Zatoichi to instantly kill it?

[QUOTE=Pako;37692513]A Giant Soldier wearing the Killer's Kabuto and the Half-Zatoichi with increased speed *shudders*[/QUOTE] And he commits sudoku when he's about to die.

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;37692608]And he commits sudoku when he's about to die.[/QUOTE] he fills out squares with numbers to die? cool.

from the looks of it, Dota 2 is getting a MEGA HUGE GIGA update this week, so I don't know about TF2

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37691805]I'm going to assume new missions and waves. New maps would be a pretty big thing to just add randomly.[/QUOTE] You know what else is soon? [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4379567/modelling/2012/gunhat/sept/colovn.png[/img]

a month and a half is soon?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37693414]a month and a half is soon?[/QUOTE] Depends on your definition of soon.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37693414]a month and a half is soon?[/QUOTE] For Valve it is. [IMG]http://xboxoz360.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/meet-the-pyro.png[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Zadrave;37693553]For Valve it is. [IMG]http://xboxoz360.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/meet-the-pyro.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] They didn't say anything other than 'Coming in 2012', not 'Coming Soon in 2012', so, uh, I don't think Pyromania's the best example.

Only good part of that game was flying around in sylux's altform in lowgrav using the bombs.

[QUOTE=Armisael;37695671]Only good part of that game was flying around in sylux's altform in lowgrav using the bombs.[/QUOTE] That was hilariously fun, although the rest of the game was still pretty entertaining as well.

Inb4 clocks, but... I just realized something. Last year's boss was Monoculus. Demoman's eye. There's hands in the blog picture. Could the boss be Engineer's severed hand?

[QUOTE=1112e;37696455]So far all of the halloween bosses have been demoman-based.[/QUOTE] It feels like Demoman is TF2's frontman for almost everything that involves laziness.

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;37696677]It feels like Demoman is TF2's frontman for almost everything that involves laziness.[/QUOTE] Can't balance an explosive weapon? Time for more Demoknight weapons! Gotta make a boss character? Remodel and supersize him! Another boss? Let's use his eyeball! This year? Demo helped cut engie's hand off and the hand HOLDS a grudge.

[QUOTE=kooper44;37691423]as some people have speculated that for mvm, the blue team will get to be attacking, anyone think there will be some kind of special boss kind of like this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpeByGIOmOE[/media] not the specific boss, but the same general idea. some kind of epic fight against gray mann or something.[/QUOTE] If we're lucky gray mann will have an actual [b] gray [/b] skin.

[QUOTE=1112e;37696455]So far all of the halloween bosses have been demoman-based.[/QUOTE] Demoman will lose a hand all of his melee weapons now use Saxxy animations

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37693319]from the looks of it, Dota 2 is getting a MEGA HUGE GIGA update this week, so I don't know about TF2[/QUOTE] Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! New heroes! Finally!

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37693319]from the looks of it, Dota 2 is getting a MEGA HUGE GIGA update this week, so I don't know about TF2[/QUOTE] On that day, angels and babies alike will weep in tandem as their sorrow reflects upon an imminent deluge of precipitation.

[QUOTE=igotopinions;37691433]You know what was cool? [B]The original way of unlocking weapons through achievements.[/B] Of course, now we have probably near 200 weapons. Doing the obligatory achievements each update would feel like a chore list after a while, and that would blow. But still, that's a pretty cool system. Do any other games do that? TF2 probably wasn't the first to do so, right? (On a related note, I finally got my hands on the Scout's cleaver! That weapon is [I]fun[/I].)[/QUOTE] This should be the norm. Fuck the item drop bullshit, I still haven't gotten most of the Engineer/Pyro Grordbort stuff, the Pyroland stuff, the Triad Pack or many other weapons because Valve is content giving me 500 sandviches, 300 eyelanders and 200 KGBs. If all else: Make the new items drop more frequently when you introduce them, give them to new people, [B]something[/B] so I can actually try this shit without having to beg for the shit on trade servers or forced to pay real cash money for them. FFS, Valve, you can't be that fucking dense and not realize there's a problem with the item drop system.

[QUOTE=zombays;37697188]Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! New heroes! Finally![/QUOTE] ~200 new cosmetics inbound evidenced by game files.

However as things are now, it would probably be a bit too chaotic and also hard to come up with fitting achievements for all the new weapons.

But nah, "trading a scrap for each weapon is way too hard everyone's a jew ;___; bawww".

(Steam Achievement Manager) existing Sure they could lock the achievements via server side like Killing floor did with their achievement for Bad Santa

I'm still waiting for extra achievements for new unlockables.

I just want a new explosive weapon for the "demolitions" class, even a shitty +12% - 10% [b]Please![/b]

I still think the Polycount hats needed for the set bonus should be milestone achievement items given from doing achievements related to the weapons; do some not that hard specific stuff with YER and L'Etranger, get an untradeable Fez.
