Major Update Speculation Thread v12: Layoffs Edition - Games

[QUOTE=ojcoolj;39622623]You're not Ronin! You're not allowed to tease us with smileys![/QUOTE] Speaking of which, I havent seen/heard of ronin in a long time..

[QUOTE=spd12;39622621]To be fair, the Heavy has huge fingers and I doubt in realistic terms that he'd really be able to strum anything. At some point I think it's okay to have a bit of suspension of disbelief in regards to the characters' actual guitar playing.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I realize that, I just want them to put it in a similar location, it'd be far from perfect but it'd quench my thirst. Also, if Sniper doesn't hold it like slash does here i'll be disappointed. [IMG]https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSIA7xqXdAnf6V5hIrF-l4sE2bttp9gS1HL2yKe2MBiAK1_mwIEUw[/IMG]

[QUOTE=COSTA;39622865]The guy who did the Cow Mangler taunt.[/QUOTE] Am I the only one who gets annoyed by that badly timed noise? And how he moves so damn fast?

[QUOTE=LightFlock;39623034]Am I the only one who gets annoyed by that badly timed noise? And how he moves so damn fast?[/QUOTE] It's just a cheap rushed animation in my opinion, it could have been fast and cartoony without looking so poor.

[QUOTE=JohnnyGoGo;39623418]It's just a cheap rushed animation in my opinion, it could have been fast and cartoony without looking so poor.[/QUOTE] To be fair, the animation was probably sped up so it wasn't longer than the default RL taunt.

Then they could have just made an animation that lasts 4 seconds instead of a 6-second one that is sped up.

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;39623539]Then they could have just made an animation that lasts 4 seconds instead of a 6-second one that is sped up.[/QUOTE] Or even sync up the sound properly!

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;39623539]Then they could have just made an animation that lasts 4 seconds instead of a 6-second one that is sped up.[/QUOTE] I would assume weta made the animation, nobody has a fucking clue what valve are going to do with submitted content, let's face it.

[QUOTE=thecuntsman;39622292]I'm sure there's something big coming up to make up for the dry spell.[/QUOTE] Yeah, in eight months.

[QUOTE=Uzbekistan;39623472]To be fair, the animation was probably sped up so it wasn't longer than the default RL taunt.[/QUOTE] While that might of been the case, I still dislike the animation itself. It doesn't have the natural weighty feel of the quality taunts the game started with, I can see what they were going for but they didn't pull it off. A little more time and effort, and they would have done.

I don't like the good half second he stands in his rocket launcher pose without holding anything

Hopefully, since this is an action slot taunt, there won't be another taunt time to compete against in terms of duration.

Of all the weapons that really need a buff/rework I think the Short Circuit really needs to get a widowmaker treatment and have the metal cost significantly reduced. It could make for some really interesting play as engie.

[QUOTE=RevengeDeath;39624602]Of all the weapons that really need a buff/rework I think the Short Circuit really needs to get a widowmaker treatment and have the metal cost significantly reduced. It could make for some really interesting play as engie.[/QUOTE] Or maybe fucking work to begin with.

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;39624528]lego lotr is getting a promo item?[/QUOTE] yea, it will be a custom taunt for the all-father were you grab a blu team member, and you are teleported to the sky and you say "you shall not pass" then you both explode if you use it near a cliff, you fall down the cliff and you never respawn, instead the entire map rumbles and an on-screen message tells you to mourn for Heavydalf the Red

Give it the Heater treatment. On deploy, creates a ring of fire around the user that drains 6 metal a second. And you thought it was metal-heavy before.

I wish the Heavy would get Eddie's jacket. They already look alike, so why not go all the way?

[QUOTE=Evil_Knevil;39621184]Have we gotten anything else than promo's this year? I want some community content.[/QUOTE] Another community map pack would be an easy way to add some content and would probably cost Valve only a couple of hours worth of key sales. Plus, more maps means more map stamps bought, and community map makers are given more support like Valve wants.

We need custom cosmetics obtainable by buying map stamps. Each cosmetic would be map appropriate; Egyptian headgear for Egypt for instance. You could get them with the stamp effect by buying enough stamps for that map, but they'd be buyable possibly as well.

[QUOTE=jimbobjoe1234;39624845]I wish the Heavy would get Eddie's jacket. They already look alike, so why not go all the way?[/QUOTE] What I'm surprised is that they didn't add Eddie's wrist bands as a Misc. Would have been fucking awesome!

[QUOTE=Evil_Knevil;39621184]Have we gotten anything else than promo's this year? I want some community content.[/QUOTE] Electric bugaloo will have content added for sure; as it has been Robin walker approved Also Tf2maps mvm contest
