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

Thinking about it... if tickets aren't used up for completing missions you already have (without completing a whole set), if you kept playing the same one over and over with your second ticket, right now you're probably bound to run into someone planning to use a surplus ticket thing even if you may not get a drop at the end of that mission (for having already completed it). I wonder if Valve accounted for that sort of mooching.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37276443]then I want my money back for my ticket. The FAQ clearly says you get a rare item :/[/QUOTE] To, statistically, get every single item, you would have to spend $81. Of course, you are not guaranteed to get every item through that. And that isn't including how you get the gold items, so who knows how much you have to spend to get the items.

So does anyone know how to get the Gold bot killing weapons? Are they like get a certain amount of kills or are they achievment? (or mann up mode drops?)

MOTHER HUBBARD this mode is amazing, omg.

I'm kinda glad that I don't have my internet connection at the moment, it seems that MvM has a bunch of things that have to be fixed yet.

Just finished playing for hours on a private server with a 6-man team. [I]HOLY SHIT I LOVE THIS GAMEMODE.[/I] I mean seriously. When everyone communicates and you're stopping the bomb by the skin of your teeth it's just so satisfying. Question though, can the community make maps for this?

[QUOTE]Re: [hlds_linux] [hlds] TF2 Engine Error: Host_Error: Overflow ... Eric Smith Thu, 16 Aug 2012 11:53:53 -0700 We're fixing this for a release later today. Also, we've found an issue with MvM servers that have a value set for mp_timelimit. When the timelimit hits the server gets into a state that it can't recover from. For now, you should set mp_timelimit 0 on MvM dedicated servers. We're working on a fix for this, too. -Eric [/QUOTE]

Can someone explain to me why they had to leave so many slots for the bots? I mean 90% of the time I end being a spectator and the number of bots doesn't seem to be lower when more people join.

Holy shit, MvM as a Spy with any kind of Sapper, any kind of knife, and an Uber canteen is so goddamn fun. Just played it for the first time, spent like 3 hours on it. It's one of the best features TF2 has ever added. I hope to see more maps, bot varieties, maybe even some free rewards. The only thing that annoys me a bit is how you can craft the canteen. I crafted mine and now I have a spare one taking up a backpack slot.

So wait, those ticket things do NOT guarantee you a rare item drop? That's some bulldonk. Ah well, atleast you get a badge automatically, right? 99 cents for a swanky badge isn't the worst deal ever. Not to mention the off-chance that you might end up playing with someone who has one of those loot drop vouchers. [editline]16th August 2012[/editline] Also, do Robot Engies even exist?

If they do add Robot Engies someday, the robots themselves should transform into sentries.

Sentries with legs.

I wonder why they made an Engi bot head and hat, but no actual robot to play against? I betcha someone's bound to make their own body for it.

[QUOTE=COSTA;37277035]Sentries with legs.[/QUOTE] Sentries do have legs.

so wow, mvm is far too much fun. easily the most fun i've had in tf2 ever but one thing that's bothering me, the robots don't gib. is that supposed to happen or is that a glitch?

[QUOTE=hogofwar;37277042]Sentries do have legs.[/QUOTE] With walking legs.

[QUOTE=hogofwar;37277042]Sentries do have legs.[/QUOTE] I think he means the kind that run at you.

[QUOTE=hogofwar;37277060]I've seen robot gibs?[/QUOTE] really? that's weird, they don't seem to gib at all for me..

[QUOTE=Netsc;37275632]My server is now up, no password: Connect 213.81.69.220 In console[/QUOTE] Server's still up, waiting for some players!

Will they ever change the BLU robots into Gray and actually have BLU and RED fight against them? I feel like the Gray storyline was just shoehorned into TF2 to attract more attention and build hype for it. With the BLU robots and the art on the MvM Matchmaking screen, it seemed like they originally had just planned for BLU to build Robots with RED defending, with maps like Mannworks having RED vehicles inside.

engi robots will be the big bosses when we play offense

What I'm wondering is if you replay a Mann-Co mission you've already got a checkmark on, do you still get random item drops if you go through it again?

If MvM Works with custom mapping, i may start work on a version of 2fort that supports it. [sp]no it wont be just a blatant let robots spawn on the blue team base type of thing, the map will have some big changes, notably to the red base...[/sp]

I like when you upgrade firing speed, it changes the pitch of the weapon up
