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

How's this for a new sniper rifle +No firing Sound +Victim receives no killcam -Constant objective-like outline while mobile

[QUOTE=Omolong;37832854]Does anyone else feel that the Spy and Medic coats should have been for Napoleon instead of Empire, and that Empire should have the Sniper's Shako?[/QUOTE] I don't know how they're going to distribute the Shako. With Shogun? With Medieval?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37832890]I don't know how they're going to distribute the Shako. With Shogun? With Medieval?[/QUOTE] I was thinking that the Demoman cape would go with Medieval, but then considering this, I guess nothing like this is certain now.

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;37832876]How's this for a new sniper rifle +No firing Sound +Victim receives no killcam -Constant objective-like outline while mobile[/QUOTE] I think that's an interesting trade-off, exchanging secrecy in movement for secrecy in shooting. I imagine it might be confusing as all get out on some modes where people may be highlighted (SD, CTF), but other than that I think it's an idea with some merit. EDIT: Whoops, actually there is a concern over no kill-cam - in TF2 they make it a point to show you where and how you were killed as a means of lowering frustration, so that aspect may not work.

Considering the Shako is based upon the ones in Sharpe's, it [i]should[/i] be for Napoleonic.

Really hate how that hat's positioned, it coulda been real nice.

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;37832948]Really hate how that hat's positioned, it coulda been real nice.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I'll have to agree with you. That hat and the Heavy hat are just positioned in such a odd way. I guess they were just trying to make it different from the Team Captain? Either way, the result is just odd...

I wonder if they saw how ridiculously popular the shirts were, made a little grinch smirk, and then decided to make the two shirts require both games, and left the Shako to rot in a corner.

So i only need to have Empire: Total War to get the promos, right? The description of the page misleads me.

Is it just me or is Spy's hand layered behind his Distinguished Rogue, in the Store Art?

[QUOTE=Lik;37833024]So i only need to have Empire: Total War to get the promos, right? The description of the page misleads me.[/QUOTE] you need both

God damnit. What is the other game?

Well what's left? Medieval 2 - Cape Shogun 2 - Menpo mask Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai - ??? (Perhaps Spy shirt since game is about Japan being visited by foreign powers) Total War Battles Shogun - ??? (Probably won't have an item associated with it, since it's a small game and the Freedom Staff comes with the whole package) The would probably do Shogun 2 and Fall of the Samurai together, like what they did with ETW and NTW today.

Oh god, these items are wonderful. I really just want that Spy misc.... anyone want to trade my love for it?

They're just spin offs anyway.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37833041]you need both[/QUOTE] [img]http://i.imgur.com/OjD8v.png[/img] [b]OR[/b] Medic jacket and Shako go to NTW or ETW. Which doesn't make a difference anyway since they're basically the same game (NTW is based off of ETW engine with bug fixes. CA was under fire for abandoning ETW for NTW a while back).

So I'm guessing by already owning these games (on steam) you will [B]not[/B] receive these drops and you only get them by purchase? I like my total war, but I'm gonna have to wait longer to show it :(

why does that image show the Shako? On the news page it says you get the Spy Shirt (which is why I bought it) [quote]Today only, save 75% off Napoleon: Total War and Empire: Total War. [b]Owners of these two titles[/b] will also receive the Distinguished Rogue for the Spy and Foppish Physician for the Medic in Team Fortress 2 and the Imperial Tricorne in Spiral Knights.[/quote]

Then what does the Spy jacket go to? Cause on the store page of Empire: Total war it says you get both.

The new Sniper hat! Now, please don't ask why. Maybe the demands fell flat. It could be that he didn't think it'd make a lot of money. If that were to be the case, it would not be funny. But I think that the most likely reason of all May have been that it wouldn't be worth much as the Maul.[/i]

Yeah, I'm seeing that too. I think someone fucked up because they look too similar (aren't they essentially the same anyway) [editline]28th September 2012[/editline] Just might as well wait for someone to clarify that at Valve.

Maybe they'll merge them into one item [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/IMG]

the messaging on this whole sale is kind of bad [editline]28th September 2012[/editline] I think the Steam prompt art may have been made before the jacket was split into two items.

[IMG_thumb]http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx24/TheRealFierceDeity/Zespy.png[/IMG_thumb] Oh wow it's a miracle, a Spy misc that doesn't look horrifying with the Dashin' Hashashin, with the help of some paint. I mean it doesn't look that great, but it doesn't look all that 'bad clipping right in your face' unlike the other spy miscs.

Just found out I already have Napoleon because I bought it a long time ago for my dad. Free promos! Or wait, do you get the items if you already had the game before the sale?

Waiting for confirmation with Empire and Napoleon in my cart. Random note regarding Medic items: Am I the only one who wishes Dr. Gogglestache was usable normally? Or just that he had a big mustache item for normal use to go with the fancy olde timey shirt.

I think the news pop up was outdated.
