Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;48108641]No, upon further research, the chests simply do not drop. They forgot to implement them into the system.[/QUOTE] It's the cold snap coat all over again. One of the main things shown off and valve straight up forgets to put them in. One Fucking job

[QUOTE=ikes;48108771]which one is Citizen Pain? also i got the two worst skins in the game IMHO fucking Mayor and Civil Servant[/QUOTE] I think Citizen Pain is the Red Minigun on the TeuFort collection with JimJams logos.

Fucking hate having to use the Spy for contract kills. He is seriously my least favorite class.

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;48108641]No, upon further research, the chests simply do not drop. They forgot to implement them into the system.[/QUOTE] unless the first weekly contract always rewards a non-case, and the second weekly contract always rewards a case, and so on

[QUOTE=TwoYearLurker;48109010]unless the first weekly contract always rewards a non-case, and the second weekly contract always rewards a case, and so on[/QUOTE] they wouldn't have added the key to the store in that case

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;48108641]No, upon further research, the chests simply do not drop. They forgot to implement them into the system.[/QUOTE] how do you even do that? It's the main attraction, the crown jewel. It's like hosting the last game of the stanley cup and forgetting to have the stanley cup to give away

I'm curious now, do we only have one week to finish these contracts? Or can we allow the contracts to continue to stack up?

[QUOTE=jimbobjoe1234;48109055]I'm curious now, do we only have one week to finish these contracts? Or can we allow the contracts to continue to stack up?[/QUOTE] Every week we can get new ones, but they don't replace the current ones.

Still, 2 per weak is incredible meager. 2 per day is what I was expecting considering I paid 6 bucks for the ticket, jeeze.

So, uh, question. Too fuckin lazy to check myself right now since I'm heading to bed but where in the VPK files are these new weapon skins; and is it even possible to use them in Gmod? I know, dumb question but I'm too tired to try it myself right now.

2 per week for 3 months with each resulting in a weapon. 2 per day would mean they'd have to lower the drop rate of weapons by a ton

[QUOTE=Trekintosh;48109107]Still, 2 per weak is incredible meager. 2 per day is what I was expecting considering I paid 6 bucks for the ticket, jeeze.[/QUOTE] That's valve. Expecting less for what you pay.

2 per weak is how it's been in CS:GO, but then again CS:GO's missions are also harder and some require you to play a certain gamemode. Example of a CS:GO mission: Get 20 kills with the P250 on Office (Casual) Actually, I don't think it's much harder. Just takes more time.

Powerhouse is poorly optimized,

Also you get regular skin drops on top of the missions...

so is stat clock identical to strange?

Should we stay away from the new maps till the next update hits?

I've had no problems at all with the new maps.

I really like c sticky launcher That could have gone very wrong, but they managed to make it work, while also taking the opportunity to improve the scottish resistance and the sticky jumper. I believe this is it, too. The final two items were made into c models, meaning the project that started way back in 2009 is finally completed.

I'm fairly happy with the update. It's not what i'd expect from such a wait, but it's nice in supporting content way, I'm assuming the reason it's running for a limited time is to try and keep some cap on how many of these reskins there is out in the wild and also generate interest/player boom?

So it turns out that the MGS taunt actually works. I can sit in an obvious corner and no one notices at all. Worth every single penny.

Okay, going to start off by saying I think that Valve is waiting to release the cases for a week or two. There are only the bottom four grades available on the market at the moment, and only two of the collections as well. Valve has every right to stagger the release by a week or so to gauge the popularity of the missions. I don't think they "forgot" to add them to the drop system. If so, why did they "remember" to include the matchmaking beta pass? They aren't stupid. They are building hype for the future update and are playing their cards carefully for the time being with the contract rewards. No one wants another EOTL. What if everyone got shitty battle-scarred pistols right away and then never opened another case? That's a huge loss for Valve. This builds a lot more hype for the release of the cases and I can guarantee that they will make huge revenue off of the market sales of the cases alone. EDIT: Although I will say that they are quite interesting for allowing stock weapons and a select few promo achievement items to be craftable. Crafted two stock shotguns, a stock knife, and a stock wrench, and they still haven't fixed the crafting server.

[QUOTE=Killer monkey;48109493]So it turns out that the MGS taunt actually works. I can sit in an obvious corner and no one notices at all. Worth every single penny.[/QUOTE] I sat on a CP for about two minutes while an oblivious Heavy just stood there confused. Definitely worth it.

These weapon skins are actually really nice looking, at least the two I've gotten.

someone told me that chocolate can be thrown now [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/P2IFcKA.png[/IMG] :v: Also, figured i'd share the minigun inspect animation, as it's my favorite animation so far [T]http://i.imgur.com/ADP2Sxr.gif[/T]

I never paid much attention to how the CSGO tours work. Does a new one start when the current one ends, and if so can we reasonably assume that we'll be getting more community maps made official every 3 months?

[IMG]http://i.gyazo.com/b99a6b8fd20fa2718162fc0b88d541cc.png[/IMG] Yep, they are for Asteroid.

I thought someone would post this, but it seems no one has done so yet. Space cactus. [img]http://i.imgur.com/sfs2rgH.png[/img] No one would have expected that Valve would combine cactus canyon and asteroid.

Just woke up from a three hour night,nothing new on the radar ?
