Major Update Speculation Thread XIV: Roman Numerals are the Best Edition - Games

[QUOTE=Rozzy85;39809158]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.[/QUOTE] Difference however is that BARELY anyone wears the badges they have. Normal misc items look better, so there's no point in wearing a badge. Also, a third misc slot could give too much opportunity to change your character. Third misc slot would also let you equip the Tin-Soldier and the Vodoo Cursed Soldier Soul.

Valve released some neat concept art last night, though this seems to be the only one I'd never seen before. [IMG]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/882975577024607787/5A0D9DB7351B3B24D3E0F8979D85B7C427E6CA17/[/IMG] I kinda wish they'd stuck with this version of the Quick-Fix.

No wonder heavy was so panicked.

hydro is such a pretty map that nobody plays and isn't very fun

Now that Age of empires 2 on steam has effectively been confirmed ([url]http://steamdb.info/sub/26117/[/url]) Also that apparently the guy bringing the game to steam works for valve, anyone think tf2 promos?

[QUOTE=psyke;39810601]Wololo noise maker[/QUOTE] that would be LOOOOOOVELY

For those interested, in 15 minutes (if I'm not mistaken, 9 PM GMT, check your clocks) the BAFTA Awards should begin, Gabe Newell will recieve the Fellowship Award for his contributions to the industry, [URL="http://www.twitch.tv/bafta"]streaming will be live on Twitch.[/URL]

[QUOTE=tso;39810639]that would be LOOOOOOVELY[/QUOTE] just usable 15 times

One of Spuf's better ideas was replacing the limited use noisemakers with a cooldown type deal. Usable ten times in 24 hours, say.

We're working on a mandatory update for Team Fortress 2. We should have it ready soon. -Eric

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;39811427]We're working on a mandatory update for Team Fortress 2. We should have it ready soon. -Eric[/QUOTE] I just got that too, and the update after it, but it is dated 21 hours ago. Why did it take so long to arrive.

We've released a mandatory update for Team Fortress 2. The notes for the update are below. -Eric ------------------------------ Team Fortress 2 - Added new promo items - Added recipes for the Sticky Jumper and the Rocket Jumper - Fixed r_depthoverlay ConVar not using the correct material valve ur drunk, go home [editline]5th March 2013[/editline] note I just got that email a few minutes ago

Poor Erics stuck in a time loop.

Are you sure? I just got that email and immediately after I got the email with yesterdays changes. I was wondering why I didnt get these yesterday.

Looks like Valve is pumping out the messages that got sucked up from yesterday.

Oh god, they sent out my role reversal attempt :suicide:

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;39811500]Oh god, they sent out my role reversal attempt :suicide:[/QUOTE] Wait, what?

Wasn't expecting an update today

[QUOTE=hogofwar;39811543]Wait, what?[/QUOTE] If you're subscribed to only the announce feed, you wouldn't have seen it. Only those on the Win32 and Linux feeds would have.

If only MGR:R was on steam, then maybe we could have some sick promos.

[QUOTE=Mikemaximum;39811904]If only MGR:R was on steam, then maybe we could have some sick promos.[/QUOTE] I'd totally love a HF Blade reskin for the Zatoichi and some all-class Raiden hair. Maybe a "NANOMACHINES, SON" noise maker if those were still a thing.
