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

the best thing to do is make a joke about TF2 or something in your game that way people know you're aware of it, and a joke can come off as a nice reference or whatever

Mann vs. Queue

MVM is so fucking fun, this was a really good update, BUT, the three maps we have right now aren't enough!

So have the Mann Up servers gone online yet?

[QUOTE=yellowoboe;37265407]Mann vs. Queue[/QUOTE] I guess you could say that people are queue queuing.

[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] probably like a bud and your testicles. serious note I agree, MVM is really fun, so you guys should try before hating on it

[QUOTE]Added Botkiller and Gold Botkiller weapons[/QUOTE] I just woke up, anyone care to explain what this is?

[QUOTE=iWhatIsLove;37265426]probably like a bud and your testicles. serious note [b]I agree, MVM is really fun, so you guys should try before hating on it[/b][/QUOTE] Well, umm if you know anyone COULD play that'd be fantastic but right now you've got to have a friend with a server.

[QUOTE=Liquid-Fire;37265462]I just woke up, anyone care to explain what this is?[/QUOTE] Stock weapon reskins.

[QUOTE=Liquid-Fire;37265462]I just woke up, anyone care to explain what this is?[/QUOTE] Weapons get a Heavybot head attached to the weapon. Golden ones have a Golden Heavybot head attached to the weapon. The same weapons as the festives. Even the knife. [sp]It gets a miniature action figure-sized Heavybot head[/sp] They all look gaudy except the Botkiller Wrench, which looks kinda cool since the Wrench head is inside the Heavybot's mouth.

[QUOTE=Sardonus;37265478]Well, umm if you know anyone COULD play that'd be fantastic but right now you've got to have a friend with a server.[/QUOTE] Not really, I got in really fast through custom servers, get in one, wait for someone to drop out and quickly join the RED team.

[QUOTE=iWhatIsLove;37265426]probably like a bud and your testicles. serious note I agree, MVM is really fun, so you guys should try before hating on it[/QUOTE] We would try it [h2]IF WE COULD GET ON.[/h2]

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;37265387]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] I do have a fair bit of modeling done, but the only explicitly robotic thing I've got is just a rough model draft. But yeah, Valve fair and square beat me to the punch, no fucking way I'd be able to hold my ground against [I]Valve[/I] of all people. Ah well, better keep working and hope I can keep things different enough to avoid getting sued! :v: On topic, the Robot Scout voice files scare the piss out of me. It sounds like they're constantly...[I]hissing.[/I]

FIRST TWO MINUTES AND THEN TWELVE MINUTES AND THEN 23 MINUTES [b][h2]STOP LYING TO ME VALVE STOP THE LIES[/h2][/b]

also, the Tanks I'm calling as another cocktease as well as massive bots Massive Bots are way to small to really be MASSIVE and good god the Tank can't possibly be spattered in blood it doesn't actually hurt anybody, it just drives and refuses to give out fucks and Engineerbots don't exist, I know you've done Engie bot A.I valve, why no Engiebots?

Well, since you guys are having so much trouble actually getting ingame, maybe I'm not too sad that I can't play! Just checked up on the new information. Man, premium tickets, really? That's just... over the top. You have an item shop, Valve, goddammit, stop milking money. On a related note, what's up with giving half the characters new lines, and the rest gets nothing? I get the Pyro, but Scout has one of the most energetic and interesting voice lines, and Spy's usually witty to make for funny lines as well. And don't even get me started on Demoman, I don't understand why Heavy has new lines and Demo doesn't, I mean he's voiced by the same fucking guy.

wait do botkiller weapons count kills either of them if not, whats the goddamn point

[QUOTE=iRunner;37265201]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] You only lose it once you complete a mission that you've never completed before. So with the current amount of missions (3), you buy 4 tickets (3 to do them all, and 1 to play all of the again), because the 4th won't be used up ever. Bad Reading, baby.

Okay... SOMEONE explain this shit to me. So... EVERY TIME I want to play the fucking co-op on the servers that DON'T take a half-hour to connect before failing and kicking your ass back to the menu, I have to pay a dollar for a ticket?? Is that REALLY what's going on here? Every time I play a match, I have to fork over a dollar? Because if THAT is the case, then I am horrified to me fucking core! I would expect that kind of horseshit from EA, but not VALVE, goddamnit!

Engineers are meant to defend, but bots are attacking, sooooo why would they be staying back to defend? Makes no sense. Gunslinger engies I could see, but prolly wouldn't be fun.

[QUOTE=Ryou;37265585]That's still 4 Dollar for a mode that's been goddammed teased forever and everyone was expecting to be FREE.[/QUOTE] The mode IS FREE. I just played for 2 hours straight, got my canteen, got a bunch of standard item drops, and had the most fun I've had with TF2 in a long time. You people are starting to piss me off.

[QUOTE=Ryou;37265585]That's still 4 Dollar for a mode that's been goddammed teased forever and everyone was expecting to be FREE.[/QUOTE] It IS free dumbass. You just pay if you want to win cosmetics at the end, otherwise you play it and get drops like regular TF2.

[QUOTE=That Ninja;37265596]The mode IS FREE. I just played for 2 hours straight, got my canteen, got a bunch of standard item drops, and had the most fun I've had with TF2 in a long time. You people are starting to piss me off.[/QUOTE] I didn't mean it like that. I know the mode is FREE. I'm just saying these tour-tickets are another way for Valve to make money. They weren't essential. Valve could've gone without them.

Also, I first mistook the fisty-punchy heavies for the giant ones, and I thought they were lame. But then I saw an actual giant heavy, and they're... well, giant.

Or are all botkiller weapon strange?

I've yet to see pictures of the new hats I would like to see them.
