So, so far this month/what is expected this month: Community Content Update MvM Update Half life 3 announcement. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive release. Start of the International 2.
I wonder if the new mode will be more demanding on hardware compared to normal TF2. I can imagine it taking a lot more power with 6 players and a horde of bots coming after you. Not to mention particle and map effects that will be added... But knowing Valve, I'm sure they have put lots of thought into optimization, right?
[QUOTE=SLBros.;37228747]Steam Greenlight / How the gamemode works in detail, additionnal (unknown) stuff, hidden links[/QUOTE] Steam Greenlight doesn't have much to do with TF2. However, it will probably be revealed in the [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/communitycontent"]Community Update[/URL].
I just realized the funniest thing about the purchasing upgrade deal in the new mode. What about if a player, instead of buying weapon and health upgrades, was able to buy a hat. Didn't do anything, but was just a gaudy hat to wear for the round. \:v:/ And then link the hat to an achievement, so you'd see people try to unlock it (and Valve could track it).

[QUOTE=ojcoolj;37228722]Why does everyone think it's Half Life 3? Does anyone here actually read the Combine Overwiki? Episode Three is in development.[/QUOTE] Well if it's in development it needs to be released at some point. Combine Overwiki isn't the best source though, as anyone can edit it. Just like the Official TF2 Wiki.
[QUOTE=hogofwar;37228575]Speaking of half life 3: [url]http://www.gamescom-cologne.com/media/gamescom/downloads/pdf/presse/Neuheitenliste.pdf[/url] Look at the bottom.[/QUOTE] I think I need to lay down.
I see a list of games there, but no sign of HL3. circle it for me?

[QUOTE=Kapellmeister;37228644]Am I the only one who's stockpiling 3 of each weapon and a load of refined? Can't wait for the recipes to be a rec + 4 of some weapon.[/QUOTE] Yes, you are the only person doing that, since you're probably the only person who can afford to.
Oh and apparently about the correctness: [QUOTE]In case that’s not enough, I just got off the phone with a Gamescom representative who confirmed to me that every game on that list will be showcased at Gamescom 2012, and that the list itself is entirely legitimate. I didn’t ask about Half-Life 3, but you’re free to pick up the phone if you like.[/QUOTE]
I wonder what this is going to use for servers. We all know how the L4D model turned out.

I want HL3 :v:
My speculation if we are going to get more special classes (not the big ones): Pyro: • [B]The W+ m1000 bot.[/B] Exactly what it sounds like, will never use his secondary and melee, and if he spots you he will chase you with W+m1 until he either loses track of you or is killed. He will chase you through the entire map if you don't outrun or kill him. Engineer: • [B]Turtlebot.[/B] A defensive Engineer that builds level 3 sentries and sits between a dispenser and a sentry. Good at defending, but relies completely on his sentry for attacking the enemy and is very vulnerable to stickies and backstabs. • [B]The Sentrineer.[/B] Gunslinger Engineer, throws out minisentries at strategic locations and then stands still next to them (or on top, for shits and giggles) using the wrangler to aim at enemies. He's a large threat at range, but very vulnerable to all attacks. (He's basically like a self placing long range sentry) Spy: • [B]The Mimic.[/B] A CnD Spy with Your Eternal Reward. He will mostly try and remain cloaked at all times but for when he's going in for the backstab. • [B]Rare Endangered Spybot[/B]. A rare malfunctioning non-harmful Spybot crabbing around, with the Dead Ringer out.
What did i miss for last 10 hours? After Day 1?
Some of the bots were on wheels and other on legs, whats up with that?
[QUOTE=tratzzz;37228969]Some of the bots were on wheels and other on legs, whats up with that?[/QUOTE] Medic's the only one on wheels And considering how he has to "follow" other classes and be quite mobile a lot it kinda makes sense
Could somebody from Seattle go wake up Robin and tell him to post day 2?
Bot killing music of my choice: [video=youtube;CYdSLaVu9p4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYdSLaVu9p4[/video] Goddamn this game's soundtrack never fails to blow me away
[QUOTE=WarrenMax007;37228957]What did i miss for last 10 hours? After Day 1?[/QUOTE] 10 hours of waiting
Someone post guile theme , it goes with everything
