In my opinion, Halloween and "Happy Holiday" are the only 2 holidays that can actually work out and be sucessful. Halloween has been done with "Harvest" maps, Halloween masks, and a spooky backstory to TF2. Christmas can be done with winter-time maps with holiday decor and Santa hats. Can't really do anything else.
TF2 Arbor Day. Sounds fun... =/
Anyway, what I want most out of the Valve group is to make a voice command to ask Heavy for his Sandvich. That would be extremely useful, and funny.

Easter.
Independence Day.
Thanksgiving.
Birthday. (Well, okay, not technically a holiday, but they can turn the existing Birthday mode up to 11.)
I want International Talk Like A Pirate Day in TF2

Not everyone celebrates Easter and Independence Day. Thanksgiving is too of a minor holiday to actually make an update revolving around it. You have to think about everyone, not just yourself.

Not everyone celebrates Halloween, either, and I'd say Halloween is more of a minor holiday than Thanksgiving- when was the last time you got off for Halloween?
My point was that there are plenty of holidays with recognizable, consistent images and motifs that could be turned into hats/map themes. Also remember that VALVe is based in the US, where Easter and Independence Day [i]are[/i] celebrated.
There's no rule that says the holiday has to be universal.
I hope it's either the Soldier or the Demoman update, that'd make me start playing TF2 again.

You make a strong arguement there. Perhaps Valve will think your way, we don't know.

I hope there won't be more holiday updates. They're just excuses to not make serious class updates.

On the other hand, they don't seem to bring crippling bugs or balance issues (+50hp failburner what).
Hmm...maybe this isn't TF2 related...maybe it's
[highlight]EPISODE 3![/highlight]
Highly doubt it though :(
[QUOTE=DuncanFrost;18764170]I'm hoping for a [B]Voice Update[/B] where they add like 100 new lines to every class for all kinds of situations, banter between characters, new domination lines for everyone, more voice commands ("Sniper!"), link-up taunts (i.e. high-fives), and maybe Meet the Medic.[/QUOTE]
Awesome, I'm not the only one who's always wanted a "Sniper!" voice command. Warning people that there's a Sniper in the area ahead is almost as important as warning about Spies, considering they're the two classes with instant kill abilities.
Personally, I'm hoping that this next update has [i]something[/i] to do with hats. If they finally go forward with the 'crafting' they've teased, it really should only be one thing: trading in duplicate weapons for hats. It's the least they can do for us after delaying the trading system for so long, and even once trading is out nobody's going to trade regular weapons anyway unless it's a random-level weapon, which I wish they would bring back (then regular weapons would have value).
The other reason why this system is good is that it gets more hat variety out there. Now that there's a hat that everyone can get (Ghastly Gibus), Valve needs to put out either an easier method of getting hats or just more free hats. The hats being rare was reasonable before so that there was variety (hatless and hatted), but now that every single person is clad in at least a ragged top hat, it's kind of making the character visuals bland.
Well i have been fantasizing about soldier vs demo update in addition to that two assasins "spy and sniper" have had a big fight that two explosive characters could have one
PS. I know i spelled fantasizize wrong i think.

The engy doesnt really need updates to say it right i mean hes got a frickin` sentry but the only thing he needs is more repellent sapper update for his buildables.And the classless update just makes it easier for spahs to "sap mah sentreh."

Holy bejeebus, yes. I can imagine a Sniper and a Spy, shaking hands or shit like that.
[QUOTE=FluffyMcNutter;18764319]
I actually hope Meet the Pyro is next and that the Medic is last, because I want the "Meet the Team" series to end with an Über Charge. Don't ask why.[/QUOTE]
If the über is accompanied with "In the hall of the Mountain King" I'm in.

Heavy on Medic bear hug
It's going to be the competitive play mode with the new weapons and a Christmas update.
God I want the voice update now.

Armistice day. No weapons just people running around doing nothing.
I find Nineaxis's excuse for proof that Robin told him, funny and highly unlikely that Robin Told him.
[QUOTE=Nineaxis;127083]I have no proof. I'd just hope that being a staff member of the largest TF2 mapping community and being in contact with Robin, I wouldn't run around saying he said stuff he didn't.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=kevinseven;18771111]Armistice day. No weapons just people running around doing nothing.[/QUOTE]
Oh my god this
Knowing valve, 'something big' more than likely means useless Hat update #3. Still with no better way to collect the damn things without being lucky.
[QUOTE=fullmetalninja;18771159]I find Nineaxis's excuse for proof that Robin told him, funny and highly unlikely that Robin Told him.[/QUOTE]
I still trust Nineaxis not to tell a lie. He's pretty respected and is definitely in contact with Valve.

Valentine's Day. No hate just people running around having gay se-
NO.
Crafting please. These 8 Razorbacks are getting heavy!

IIRC, it has something to do with custom particles in maps.
