[QUOTE=Wariopunk;39805091]I think this was an great opportunity to make some great Promos, We could of got a new bow at least.
And I really wish they stopped releasing the bloody pins.[/QUOTE]
There's 'only' 40+ badges, pins and medals that can be worn by all classes.
But seriously, most of the badges and stuff are fairly useless.
[QUOTE=Trixxter;39805070]mother of god those promos are terrible. :|
No offence to whoever made them.[/QUOTE]
At least they look better then the Bioshock items.
I'm kinda feeling discouraged by all these promo items. I know this time of year isn't usually when we get big updates and I doubt these promos take too much time to make, but it just feels like the TF2 team is wasting time on these promos instead of working on major updates.
I feel like everyone's ignoring the bug fixes that are also coming in these updates and just bagging out the promo item train.
So the Tomb Raider page says, if you buy the game before march 12th, you get the items still.
Is it safe to assume you dont get genuine versions since its not a preorder?
[QUOTE=AeroDX;39804634]I just wish they'd release the full alternate version of Playing With Danger.
It plays in the video "Illustrative Rendering in Team Fortress 2", and in most of the map training videos, if you're wondering what I'm talking about.
[I]EDIT:[/I] Also the Magnum Force cover from Meet The Sniper, but I doubt that'll ever happen.[/QUOTE]
A while back we saw what files were going to be released in future SFM updates; I believe the Meet the Sniper music was one of them....we'll just have to wait...
[QUOTE=VintageCat;39805106]Full Rocket Jump Waltz pls[/QUOTE]
[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hx0lAT5nf-U&feature=player_embedded"]Here you go[/URL]. I'm sure you can find the extracted version somwhere else through.

Well they released the Meet The Engineer theme(which is also based off a licensed song.) So don't doubt them releasing the Meet The Sniper theme.

Technically, that's a alternate version of Rocket Jump Waltz, not the full version of the normal one.

I pre-ordered Brutal Legend.
I pre-ordered Runner2.
I pre-ordered Bioshock Infinite
[B]Now this?[/B]
Valve, less promos more game related updates.
Also;
Lara Croft = £30 = 3 TF2 Promo items.
Bioshock Infinite = £30/35 = 7 TF2 Promo items. (Oh god, it's only at 64% with 3 weeks left, halp)

This is the year of the Promos
Every update will contain promos.
There will be no Valve made content.
Concluded and confirmed.

Well,
atleast we will get content!
[QUOTE=Linda,Octopus;39807708]Well,

Yeah, but at the expense of having any real game content.
It would be similar to going to a movie theater and seeing a 30 minute movie after 3 hours of trailers and teasers and justifying it with "Well, at least we got to watch something!"
Maybe I'm exaggerating, but I'd rather Valve focus on making content rather than shelling out promotional cosmetics every other week

They should really add a 'Badge' slot. They're usually a lot lower poly than most cosmetics, so it would be less expensive than adding just another misc slot, and people would actually wear their pins!

Your list also seems to be based on which are the most notable when seen on someone; kinda weird that more pins don't go for that without being ugly or gaudy. The other pin I notice more often is the Portal Pin, too, thanks to its bright ring.
I still don't understand what the "living cube thing" is because I never saw it in the game. What is it?
spacechem pin is god-tier due to how hard it is to obtain without using a guide.

Not exactly sure what else "living cube thing" could be in TF2 but yes, why does this exist and yet not be in the Portal 2?

[QUOTE]Weighted Companion Square♥ is a unique blend of Portal's Weighted Companion Cube and World War Robot's Square² that, in a sense, celebrates the collaboration between VALVe and ThreeA.
The Square² (or Square) is a small support robot in the WWR Universe.

If that part was mentioned before then I missed it because it's the first time I heard of these ThreeA cubes.
what's the steampipe you guys talk about?
Also, I missed you. 2 months or so without MUS makes me sad!
The cube is kinda like a more hipster version of these artefacts you see every IP jumping onto.

I think these promos were nice but bad timing, yet they are quite boring. They had a marvelous series to work with promos on then they produce these half heartily. They are simple and I think the badge looks fancy and the pickaxe is cool but the bandage doesn't look cool at all. But I have seen enough Promo Badges for my liking. So these promos would be nice. If included with at least one amazing promo hat with it. Oh well. :rolleyes:
[QUOTE=thecuntsman;39807997]They should really add a 'Badge' slot. They're usually a lot lower poly than most cosmetics, so it would be less expensive than adding just another misc slot, and people would actually wear their pins![/QUOTE]
In the case of a badge slot they may as well just add a third misc slot because it'd be near enough the same cost performance wise. Whether a 300 poly badge or a 1300 hat/misc they both still require a draw call to render the object. The difference of about a 1000 triangles between them would make no difference in most cases.
It's possibly one of the reasons TF2 runs so poorly for some because of the increase of independent objects to render that puts an extra workload on the CPU. It would also explain why Valve has stopped adding body groups to the player models. One of the worst things any modeler can do performance wise is add more materials to their model. You should really only ever add another if there is no possible way to do it with one.
