Valve will never accept automatons that lack hat creation ability...
Ooh! New thread!
I STILL haven't forgotten the weapons in the f2p trailer...

Oh yeah, there were those weird new weapons Valve had in that "TF2 Is Free 2 Play" video.
That new medigun and stuff.
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39357615]Engy bot rises against Grey, realizing there's more to life then hat factories. He steals a robot factory and begins producing friendly versions of robots. Ones that don't hat humans, but fight along with them.
Begrudged that they are no longer employed or needed by anyone, the BLU team decides to ally with Grey. Grey takes his robots and configures them to fight with BLU team players and together they will destroy RED and the engy bot and take Mannco!
Suddenly we have a new mode, Robots and Humans versus Humans and Robots. There's a neutral bomb at the center of the map, only robots can carry it, and the humans have to help the robots move the bomb to the enemy base, while fighting off enemy robots and humans. One robot for each player, with a max of 8 players per team.
It works like a neutral CTF mode, except only bots can cap the flag. Maps would be modified KOTH maps like Badlands and Sawmill.[/QUOTE]
So Blu sides with Gray and Red sides with the Engie Bots.
And that would also lead to the inclusion of a new map and game mode.
Fuck, Ned, you're brilliant!
[QUOTE=Fine Hats;39357604]How did Raccoons and Mayo ruin what I assume is the Demoman's natural hair, anyway?[/QUOTE]
The raccoons and mayonnaise soiled Mann Co's last supply of headbands, Miracle Hair Growth Elixir, and various other hair supplies.

The garden pyro creator hasn't been able to be contacted since the Polycount contest
No idea of the Medic set. I think the creator is still somewhat active?
Junkyard Justice is obviously already in the game
If a set isn't on the workshop it's not getting in
On another topic.
Are the other promos tradeable?

Maybe add something to the lanes to make pushing into them risky/more challenging? Like some kind of tower that can fire on enemies...

Neither game has been properly released yet.

That's going to be one hell of a distraction.

[QUOTE=testinglol;39357573]why would gray do such a thing[/QUOTE]
Because noone else can do it
Besides, he was raised by eagles.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39357615]Ones that don't [b]hat[/b] humans, but fight along with them.[/QUOTE]
So... No MvM loot hats?
Silly ideas, man
[QUOTE=testinglol;39357573]why would gray do such a thing[/QUOTE]
The Mercs have allied to defeat Gray Mann and his robots and defend MannCo. But why are they doing it? Because their bosses died and they weren't hired anymore. So they were hired by MannCo to defend their factories and such.
Realizing this, Gray decides to build robot copies of his brothers, to fight for the worthless gravel, and to hire the mercs, so they stop defending the Mannco buildings and the robots can blow them up.
I just don't understand the need to tie in new maps to canon at all. The comics and story have sort of spun off into their own thing for me, and the MvM update felt like an amazing new chapter in the TF2 universe. Like everything changed, and we still haven't seen all the repercussions from it. What does the Administrator think of Grey? Are the BLU Soldier and RED Demo buddies again? There's a lot of possibilities, and I think it would be dumb to throw them all away and go back to the status quo because of some need to justify a new CTF map.
so has wickedplayer received any fake emails from eric again?
I may not have a good understanding of the crafting toggles that were added but the thing that comes to mind is the golden wrench. Maybe some sort of crafting ARG.
[quote="ned_ballad"]yea, Max gave me the heads up I can make it now, so it'll go up in a minute[/quote]
I guess you got the... Max's Head.
Bleh, the creations-rising-up-against-their-creator angle is an over-saturated trope. We don't need another Dr. Gero.
but they made a very clear point of the Engineer bot not being entirely loyal

How so? Did I miss that in the comic?

He replaced all the worshiping code with CPU power. Engy bot will never say "all hail the master" and I believe that was a nod towards Engy Bot not being entirely loyal
CPU power that can't even use its shotgun or pistol
let alone defend itself
