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

You guys know what? I'm going to try to play this by saturday. Maybe I will have some luck after all the hype goes down.

[QUOTE=alsoodani;37264510]So has it been determined which of these is a rare item drop and which is common: [IMG] http://i.imgur.com/h8sk1.png[/IMG] I've visited the wiki, but it seems a Mann Up article with explanation of loot drops is not available yet.[/QUOTE] I thought the rare drops were robot skulls on a classes signature weapon? Like arent there guns with gold skulls hanging on them?

aw, the bots don't have their own v_arms though I didn't expect any less

[QUOTE=Yukinari;37264622]I thought the rare drops were robot skulls on a classes signature weapon? Like arent there guns with gold skulls hanging on them?[/QUOTE] Yeah, I just looked it up. I've lost a lot of incentive to get a ticket now. The rare loot is not as cool as I thought it would be.

[QUOTE=alsoodani;37264669]Yeah, I just looked it up. I've lost a lot of incentive to get a ticket now.

Damn it, the trade economy is gonna jack what I want through the roof.

Yeah he's on the right. Actually, turns out, [QUOTE=Hell-met;37264682]the giant automatically scales with an algorythm that is only in tf2[/QUOTE]

And yet right now I feel cheated

i wonder how half-assed the halloween update is gonna be

What does ned think of this update

I just hope tommorow I can actually use the tickets I bought.

[QUOTE=Clovernoodle;37264738]As someone who plans to go into filmmaking as a profession, I know the importance of making things seem bigger or smaller than they are using camera angles and special tricks.

I just spent 30 minutes in que. Finally a server! It's time to rejoice and relish in the new gamemode set before me. Bad Password. :suicide:

I tried to make a local game [t]http://goo.gl/9xoaH[/t] :suicide:

Finally was able to play with a few friends. MVM is on the same level as fun TF2 was when I first bought it.

Having played through (and won) 3 full rounds now... it's fun. It's definitely fun. Not sure how it's going to go on replayability, though.

Posting this again in this thread: [QUOTE]I'm probably late, but copypasting the link from [url]http://www.l4d.com/blog/post.php?id=8648[/url] gives you this steam profile: [url]http://sybolt.com/mvm//mvm[/url], which shows HL3 as the game the guy is playing. Or something. It's a joke though. EDIT: To clarify, clicking the link will bring you to TF2 MVM, copying it though (with the 6 in the teamfortress) will give you that steam profile. [/QUOTE]

Oh wow, what's this about the Deflector minigun. I assume it's a promo?

[QUOTE=Kegan;37264902]Oh wow, what's this about the Deflector minigun. I assume it's a promo?[/QUOTE] It's for the giant heavy.

Had a hell of a time de-piecing scout bots as Engie. It's immensely satisfying to cut short their little tinny one-liners with lead.

[QUOTE=01271;37264915]It's for the giant heavy.[/QUOTE] Well it's added on the list along with the addition of that CS:GO promo Sniper rifle.

hi! i popped back online for unrelated reasons, meaning i'm not really caught up with what's going on someone else may have had this thought, or tried it out. but if not: if you make a listen server for MvM, you get to choose the max players, right? And we know that this affects the robot horde, from the server instructions for earlier. I assume there'd be no restrictions on that, so choosing those numbers could possibly limit the amount of robots and make single player not a complete ass-kicking. (I never even played a game, it was just something I thought of, so don't take this as confirmed-working instructions, just an idea)

So, what did I miss?

For those that haven't been able to play yet, don't worry it's pretty fun. Worst thing I've seen so far is the Rapid Fire Giant Demobot :v:

Does anyone know how to get the Botkiller items? Do you get them from the tickets?

After playing with a few people with pixskull, GrislyDragon and a few others... safe to say this has been one of the best updates for the game.

This update is fucking fun. Once you babies get into a match, you'll all enjoy it, and realize what immature children you were being. Also, Hunstman Sniper with Jarate is the most useful thing your team will ever have.

Also if this hasn't been posted already, there's a patebin guide on how to setup a server here. [url]http://pastebin.com/TRM6PS7U[/url]
