Major Update Speculation V5: Somewhere over the rainbow - Games

Interestingly, the badlands_rails (or whatever) have no sleepers. [editline]21st July 2012[/editline] Where did my auto-merge go?

I hope I get to play this mode as a pubber! It seems so very hard to randomly join a Left 4 Dead versus match, and not be stomped by a team of friends. I'm too lazy to wrangle friends! oops, misspelled "friendless"

On second thought it doesn't look like the new lobby stuff is for MvM, but rather a new beta improved quickplay feature with friends [url]http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Template:PatchDiff/July_20,_2012_Patch/team_fortress_2_content.gcf/tf/resource/tf_english.txt[/url]

[QUOTE=hogofwar;36862998]Looks like they are publicly testing a system they will use for MvM then?[/QUOTE] Looks like it. Looks like it could be implemented as soon as next week.

New HLDS Email. [quote] Today’s update introduced a new version of quickplay. It is currently in beta. A small percentage of players will be asked if they want to try out the beta, when they press the “Start playing” button. [/quote]

[QUOTE=Mechtroid;36862702]Too late. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW5tn7NoRqo&feature=youtube_gdata"]TotalBiscut already did[/url]. He claimed that TF2 went free to play and has been a loss leader to valve just to entangle new players into using steam so they can enact a future monopoly.[/QUOTE] TotalBiscut is a fucking moron.

[QUOTE=Moussekateer;36863022]Looks like it. Looks like it could be implemented as soon as next week.[/QUOTE] Or next minute

So, I got into the Quickplay Beta. Which is surprising considering I'm not an avid TF2 player much at the moment. Got a screenshot of the opening screen of it if anyone is interested: [t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/542932685181839739/D00E80111A68B665EF7188BDD85465BC9527C379/[/t] Unfortunately I have nobody to play with.

I was asked to use the matchmaker.

matchmaker looks a lot more boring than I thought it would be (I'm in the beta too apparently)

Why were the demo's bonnet and the world model for the syringe gun modified?

[QUOTE=Zeos;36863128][I]TotalBiscut[/I] is a fucking moron.[/QUOTE] It's funny how you call him a moron, but yet you cannot spell Biscuit correctly. :v: On-Topic: I think this is a gateway to MvM.

[QUOTE=iWhatIsLove;36863258]It's funny how you call him a moron, but yet you cannot spell Biscuit correctly. :v: On-Topic: I think this is a gateway to MvM.[/QUOTE] Because he made a typo he's a moron? Don't be a fucktard.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;36863329]Because he made a typo he's a moron? Don't be a fucktard.[/QUOTE] I didn't call him a moron, I just said He didn't spell Biscuit correctly. Read before you throw insults around.

I wouldn't say he's a moron; pretty much the opposite if you ask me, he just has different viewpoints and has more insight into the world of gaming than the average ritalin-popping Fratman Joe. Just because someone's views are different, doesn't mean they're objectively stupid.

[QUOTE=iWhatIsLove;36863383]I didn't call him a moron, I just said He didn't spell Biscuit correctly. Read before you throw insults around.[/QUOTE] ...What were you implying then? There's no other way of reading that.

If this is all just over a spelling misunderstanding, then this is just damn weird.

I somewhat got in the beta. what

[QUOTE=iWhatIsLove;36863258]It's funny how you call him a moron, but yet you cannot spell Biscuit correctly. :v: [/QUOTE] My fault, I spelled it wrong first.

They're trying to find out what will make people buy their games! [I]Corruption![/I] (hopefully i am not coming off as pissy as i think i am)

god stop arguing i want to [i]punch some fuckin ROBOTS[/i] TOBORS

[QUOTE=NeoDement;36863405]...What were you implying then? There's no other way of reading that.[/QUOTE] I worded it wrong, I've just barely slept recently. Apologies to Zeos if he was offended.

what is this beta thing? I see nothing on the tf2 page so i cant check.

I don't even know what's going on.

[QUOTE=Ol' Pie;36863624]what is this beta thing? I see nothing on the tf2 page so i cant check.[/QUOTE] [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1199473[/url] Can't access that? It's a new revamp of the quickplay system Valve is testing. It's in the release version, not the beta.

[QUOTE=Ol' Pie;36863624]what is this beta thing? I see nothing on the tf2 page so i cant check.[/QUOTE] Press "Start Playing" on the Team Fortress 2 Main Menu (be in game) Maybe you'll get it.

[url]http://puu.sh/KkI7[/url] It just looks like a fancier version of the old quick play system right now.

You sure not everyone got into that quickplay beta? I just checked and i'm in. [I]I never get into these things.[/I]

[QUOTE=Goodwell;36863949]You sure not everyone got into that quickplay beta? I just checked and i'm in. [I]I never get into these things.[/I][/QUOTE] Fletch did say that a small portion of players would be able to test it. Not sure if that's actually false and is available to everyone or what.
