[QUOTE]Or maybe, just maybe, it's something else entirely.[/QUOTE] This makes me think of the engineer update, since they haven't talked about it in the blog post, or recently at all. Any other suggestions?

[QUOTE=Ducluck7;23021168]This makes me think of the engineer update, since they haven't talked about it in the blog post, or recently at all. Any other suggestions?[/QUOTE] Ofcourse it is.

I got an idea. Storms on blog post. Storms brew. Beer brews in a Brewery. New map, cp_brewery. Dapoowery.

Also, that DA POO reminds me of [url=http://www.teamfortress.com/war/saxtonhale/poopyjoe.htm]Poopy Joe[/url]. Engineer gets a monkey robot? :confused:

Why is everyone so fixated on the 'dapoo' letters? It's just the first letters of each paragraph... It means absolutely nothing.

Better then nothing, but I feel like they've forgot about the Engie Update.

[QUOTE=LetsGroove;23022024]Better than nothing, but I feel like they've forgot the Engie Update.[/QUOTE] fixed. :eng101:

[QUOTE=iRunner;23022044]fixed. :eng101:[/QUOTE] Clever.

[IMG]http://www.polycount.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/pc_badge_ingame.jpg[/IMG] Makes me wish I had entered the contest, despite having no modeling skill at all.

The polycount contest judging ends July 12th...maybe thats when the engie update will appear?

I doubt the engie update will release the same time as the polycount update.

My hopes are all up for the trading system

[QUOTE=JoshuaC;23022320]I doubt the engie update will release the same time as the polycount update.[/QUOTE] Well they did say somthing BIG is coming. What better way to be big than the poly/engie update.

[QUOTE=TentuZero;23022357]Well they did say somthing BIG is coming. What better way to be big than the poly/engie update.[/QUOTE] The engie update is going to overshadow a bunch of random models by ten fold. To release them at the same time would be foolish. They'd be able to gather more interest by releasing them at separate times.

I don't know about you guys, but I've been following the polycount pack and what I've seen is incredible, hearing about the ones which made it through would be on par with the engie' update for me at least.

Edit: Like Damoman said, it would be a great way to prevent servers being loaded with nothing but turtle engies.

[QUOTE=Damoman;23022542]Yet they have stated that they don't like it when one class is overplayed during an update, thus the war and sniper vs spy updates.[/QUOTE] So two classes being played at once is better? From what I saw, some of the best items made for the contest were for the medic, sniper, and spy.

[QUOTE=JoshuaC;23022583]So two classes being played at once is better? From what I saw, some of the best items made for the contest were for the medic, sniper, and spy.[/QUOTE] Yes, but "the best" is an opinion. So valve has their own opinion on what’s the best, what they think is the 'best' might be for engy, heavy, and demoman. No one knows.

There's going to be more than one winning pack. I'm not sure if it will be "one winner per class" but that's how I always imagined it.

I don't honestly remember seeing anything decent for the demo, pyro, and scout.

Did you look at anything besides the check-in blog post?

Hopefully we will actually be able to observe something tomorrow, it would make sense, considering the fact that it will be the beginning of the month.

[QUOTE=JoshuaC;23023035]I don't honestly remember seeing anything decent for the demo, pyro, and scout.[/QUOTE] There were only two entries for demoman.
