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

So I just played a few missions and uh... It had a very interesting glitch. [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/596979049388569882/33B0F444391F389F56C8773613D392C3B8F9C22B/[/t] See that pit? The one that's been blown to smithereens? This occurred after we got steamrolled by the robots, yet the game allowed us to respawn and the wave kept going. It instakills anything that comes in contact with it and flings them miles into the air. Even bots. We cannot lose now because the bots are completely to get close enough to drop another bomb (except the tank on this map). [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/596979049388568907/7D1C30C23AF91AC7E3B8C20F2F47BCEFCF32604C/[/t] Here's another map with the glitch occurring again after we lost on the second wave. [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/596979049388574562/980A1C8A1BF372CD814A26274E6A761E207E1A96/[/t] [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/596979049388570350/C262B313006061120E1F34B2BA34F2DF41D74DE8/[/t] Here's what happens when even the tank cannot overcome the pit. Where's the bomb you ask? [t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/596979049388572099/29682212862E5E260EC25F8E8C1BF23DF064328A/[/t] Oh [i]there[/i] it is. It's all the way at the bottom of the pit, accomplishing absolutely nothing while it's floating there. [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/596979049388572709/2F3EDF58EC1ACE49E6DF4037A1A272F459DDBB02/[/t] The tank continued to remain stationary, so we just decided to wail on it until it exploded.

If you've yet to be able to play -Blu bots is really annoying. That irks me. +THIS GAMEMODE IS SO GODDAMN FUN -Pyro and Spy are useless pretty much +IT'S JUST SO FUN THOUGH

facepunch why do you think MVM update was shit? it's amazing and plus decoy is the funniest map i've ever seen ever

Im pretty sure that the robro 3000 it's a new hint for something, after reading the description I think so. Also, everytime I check that thing in the store, its level change.

Coal Town's "exhibits" are hilarious.

Yes, the new gamemode it's lots of fun. Don't talk bs until you play it.

Does anyone know any Valve or Tf2-email addresses? If you have any complaints/want to thank them/ask them something/etc?

[QUOTE=Sardonus;37265150]If you've yet to be able to play -Pyro and Spy are useless pretty much[/QUOTE] I was playing with some friends. One was pyro, I was spy. I was the one pretty much taking out giants (fully upgraded knife against giants) and he was beating the shit out of the tanks with crit canteens. Also Pyro can airblast bomb carriers way the fuck away from the bomb site.

[QUOTE=Sardonus;37265150]-Pyro and Spy are useless pretty much[/QUOTE] Pyro is very useful. You can push the guy who carries the bomb back, and its really easy to get the bomb back to the start of the map that way.

cross posting the next big update is going to be a MVM continuation where we go on offense and attack wherever Gray makes robots and robots will be red, we'll be blue

You should be able to play a regular tf2 match while waiting in the queue for MVM. Think I might just email them that suggestion.

jesus is there anywere i can play this its been 2 years of build up for this mode. and i have yet to join a damn game UGGH *facedesk*

Well, apparently [img]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/9/9b/Backpack_Tour_of_Duty_Ticket.png[/img] This fucker right here can allow you get to play as much as MvM-"[b]Premium[/b]" as you like, [B]BUT[/B] you have to lose everytime if you want to keep the ticket and keep getting fast in the Mann Up servers. Once you win, you can say goodbye to your ticket, and goodbye to the Mann up servers, too. Great fucking idea valve, 10/10 would purchase again.

[QUOTE=Rageguy;37265151]facepunch why do you think MVM update was shit? it's amazing and plus decoy is the funniest map i've ever seen ever[/QUOTE] We're dissapointed Valve hyped RED+BLU working as a team only for that to massively FLOP

[QUOTE=scout1;37264827]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.[/QUOTE] There def should have been skill based unlockable medals/hats for doing wacky team-based stuff like: With 3 Soldier teammates, kill 3 Heavies with Mantreads...at the same time! *Golden Mantread medal unlocked*

After playing a few rounds I gotta say: Despite it's many flaws, MvM is a shitload of fun.

I somehow survived an entire mission of Decoy by myself. I feel proud. In semi related news, I've had a group of googledocs floating around for a year~ regarding the development of a shooter where two teams have their fighting interrupted by a massive army of robots from nowhere that comes and fucks everything up. MvM pretty much guarantees I can't release it now because I will never hear the end of "wah u copie valv". Fuck.

MORE LIKE MANN VS QUESTION MARK

[QUOTE=Sardonus;37265215]We're dissapointed Valve hyped RED+BLU working as a team only for that to massively FLOP[/QUOTE] Also, I think you can agree with me, the rewards are underwhelming to say the least. There def should have been way more rewards and if they want people to invest in mann up tickets, at least make the rare loot interesting. The mode is fun w/ friends, but I'm sure we all feel like it could have used more of [I]something.[/I]

Strange weapons doesnt count robotkills, that's a nice detail. So you can't farm in MvM.

I guess the Deflector is only available to the robots?

you know, The BLU bots wouldn't have irked me if they incorporated it into the Story, by saying something like Gray took over BLU and stole his resources, and he's attacking Redmond. Buuuuut instead they advertised them as a team.

wait wait wait wait how many of the classes got new lines? four or five? if so, they are going to add the [b]others[/b] (pst) in the next MVM update that focuses on offense wait i just said there are 12 classes im smart but really, pyro doesn't count, and 4 classes got lines, they'll probably implement the others then

I really love ROBRO, don't you? But how much will this little buddy gonna cost if I try to buy it with metal?

[QUOTE=Tacos;37265300]I really love ROBRO, don't you? But how much will this little buddy gonna cost if I try to buy it with metal?[/QUOTE] there's no market yet so expensive

Fuck.[/QUOTE] Unless you have a codebase or artistic assets developed to a certain extent, you've not got [i]too[/i] much to show for that year aside from whatever it was in those googledocs. The idea of robots has been around for ages. As has team vs team shooters. And robots in those shooters. Considering that Valve has been working on this since the Spy vs Sniper update in April 2009 at the earliest (that we know of), rest assured that even if your docs have been floating around for over a year, Valve was already there long before you. Just do it, who gives a shit if people say you copied anything. As long as the basis of it is different, it will suffice. It's not like youre blatantly copying the classes on each team (if there even are classes), the robots, and the special robots. If you are, then you might want to take the parody approach. Then a lot more stuff becomes fair game :v:

[QUOTE=Tacos;37265300]I really love ROBRO, don't you? But how much will this little buddy gonna cost if I try to buy it with metal?[/QUOTE] I offered 16 refined (7 keys) for it in the trading thread, it is not as much as the man who offered 26 refined (12 keys) but I'm hoping he gets one fast and removes his post.
