Major Update Speculation v19: Official Sponsor of the Winky Smiley - Games

[QUOTE=Hell-met;40227682]you know how the targes appear in your view when you use the persian persuader? why doesn't it work on the other saxxy-anim melees?[/QUOTE] maybe it's hard-coded into tf_weapon_sword, like the decapitation effects and increased melee range are?

[QUOTE=Judas;40226919]-cannot build any buildings -cannot use pistol or shotgun -always makes loud noise +is a chainsaw[/QUOTE] What if he uses his OTHER hand for the pistol?

[QUOTE=samuel2213;40228266]What if he uses his OTHER hand for the pistol?[/QUOTE] Nah, engi's chainsaw arm is so hi-tech that it has a built in pistol AND shotgun.

[QUOTE=samuel2213;40228266]What if he uses his OTHER hand for the pistol?[/QUOTE] but... glove...

[QUOTE=BigJoeyLemons;40228283]but... glove...[/QUOTE] so, it will just make him less accurate as it is -Force to use shotgun with one hand -80% accuracy and longer reload times

[QUOTE=Folseh;40228319]so, it will just make him less accurate as it is -Force to use shotgun with one hand -80% accuracy and longer reload times[/QUOTE] +300% badassery

Shouldn't this thread still be Minor Update Speculation?

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;40229015]Shouldn't this thread still be Minor Update Speculation?[/QUOTE] The steampipe update is quite major from the sounds of it, so "Major Update Speculation" would be fair game. Though that hasn't been mentioned in a while I think.

[QUOTE=Cape;40229056]The steampipe update is quite major from the sounds of it, so "Major Update Speculation" would be fair game. Though that hasn't been mentioned in a while I think.[/QUOTE] I hope it comes with game content as well, not just the steampipe integration being the update

Who else is hoping Valve actually picks promos soon that arent for big budget games because im so tired of them. Poker Night 2 is a good start, so i hope La-Mulana, Toki Tori 2, and Shovel Knight all get promos. And dont say Fez because Phil Fish doesnt deserve shit for his attitude or for how shallow his game is. (Its sad when Kirby's Epic Yarn has more challenge than Fez)

Valve's always been doing a wide range of promos from the super big budget blockbusters (Assassin's Creed) to super tiny indie games (Spacechem) and games in between like Worms and Poker Night. Just last month we got a promo for Don't Starve, so I don't really think there's an issue between giving promos for indies versus big companies. [editline]10th April 2013[/editline] I'm curious about what Total War Rome II will bring. Roman weapons would be sweet!

forgive me for my crushing pessimism but I doubt we'll be seeing weapons for a good while it's becoming more and more likely that the SteamPipe update will be exactly that and only that, perhaps a pile of bugfixes to go with it. I doubt we'll get anything substantial outside of bugfixes. Perhaps even... delicious balance changes. dunno about you guys but weapon balance changes give me a huge boner ok, especially creative reworks and whatnot

I think we'll see new weapons very soon, if not within the next month.

[editline]10th April 2013[/editline] I'm curious about what Total War Rome II will bring. Roman weapons would be sweet![/QUOTE] If anything, it should just be that the Dev pays a community member to make a model, and if Valve accepts it, then the Dev just gives Valve an extra X% of the money earned for the game through Steam. I dunno, something like an extra 5% of sales for a big game like MW1337, and like 10%-15% for something small and indie like spacechem. Looking at the way promos can crazy-boost small games with good promos, it'd be pretty reasonable. For a huge game that'll sell regardless, I'd imagine the cut would be less, similar to how Steam/Valve's cut of the profit changes based on the predicted sales. Personally, if I were putting a game on steam, I'd work out a deal with Valve where, first, I'd have a hat as a pre-order bonus, and second, have a [B]COOL[/B] reskin weapon as a permanent bonus for getting the game, same way as Poker Night. Even if, between royalties and that probably expensive promo system, I had to pay like 70% of overall profits, it'd probably be worth it with the way people buy stuff for hats/reskins.

if Valve comments proved an item was getting in game we'd have a lot more items in game :P [editline]10th April 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=The Calzone;40231354]you got broken ndas to back that up son don't say that kind of shit if you aint got a winky face to go along with it[/QUOTE] this is around the time of the year they always seem to add new weapons, or at least hint at a bigger update. [editline]10th April 2013[/editline] By this time in 2011 we had the Rift and Shogun weapons to mess around with. They might not have been the most balanced, but they were okay in their own right. Last year we had the Cozy Camper... well, that's a thing, right? This is the longest we've been without a unique weapon in quite some time. Although we've gotten some fun reskins.
