Major Update Speculation Thread v12: Layoffs Edition - Games

So, fellas, I've got a question. Remember the magazine that posted a teaser with the Cardboard Robot Soldier? We now know it was relating to MVM, but why was that magazine never heard from again? Was it a hoax?

[QUOTE=KK3568;39477302]Here's something i've been thinking for a bit now The medic update = Uber Update The pyro update = Pyromania Uber was released in 2011, pyromania 2012 This could mean we will get "remakes" of the class updates each year, the heavy being the next This is just something to think about[/QUOTE] Yeah that seems to be the way Valve is going with major updates. Hopefully though they will do a couple of vs updates (Heavy vs Scout seems like it could work very well) and they will do more then one per year.

Tonight's a night.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39477324]so in 7 years we'll be done?[/QUOTE] 7 more years seems like a decent lifetime.

[QUOTE=Batmans;39481552][url]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3072622[/url] wat[/QUOTE] I remember last year there was some dragon pyro set for Chinese New Year in the workshop. If valve didn't make a chinese new year update on the year of the dragon, I doubt they'd do it this year

I sure hope that they'll do at least SOMETHING soon. Wouldn't want another 6-month wait.

I'm hoping for an engie pistol. There could be no update. Just an engie pistol and I would be happy.

[QUOTE=LightFlock;39482663]Be careful or you'll get a winger and no updates.[/QUOTE] The Winger would actually be "good" on engie cause he has the ammo to be able to use it for long periods of time.

give the winger sounds and a buff and it'd be a good update to me [editline]5th February 2013[/editline] unrelated to winger, but the Engineer's Cap is getting its paint fixed [url]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3072384[/url]

Probably just playground talk, but I've been hearing around that the box is gonna have a handful of items in it, and a chance to unbox one of them at random. Longfall Mantreads, Lemon Launcher Scorch Shot, etc. Is there any weight to these rumors? I hear there's also a Mew under the box.

I want Valve to announce on Valentine's day just HOW much rings were sold for the past year and how much money did that get Gabe.

[QUOTE=Damian0358;39477585]Which means Scout would follow. And then Sniper and Spy, Soldier and Demo, with Engineer ending the line, correct?[/QUOTE] Exactly what I thought.

ugh karma you know that little nub on the Pyro toy we all made fun of? Just noticed my doesn't even have it, it ripped off during shipping somehow, and now there's just a little white piece of ripped plastic there... :(

Valve requested that your toy be broken on the grounds that.. "He makes us do work."

You should install Linux... aka :)

Remember when they gave us Earbuds for playing TF2 on a Mac? I hope you like reviving those moments. :)

[QUOTE=COSTA;39484306]Remember when they gave us Earbuds for playing TF2 on a Mac? I hope you like reviving those moments.[/QUOTE] If that happened today it would basically be turned into the Robot Chicken hat.

[QUOTE=COSTA;39484306]Remember when they gave us Earbuds for playing TF2 on a Mac? I hope you like reviving those moments.[/QUOTE] Except then people will go "It's the new buds!" And everyone will get them making them near worthless. Just like the Robot Chicken Hats.

Hm, yeah. You might be right. But installing Ubuntu isn't as easy as subscribing to a newsletter, so it will be slightly different. :)
