Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=Zeos;48138341]I can't wait to FINALLY use the key I bought on a crate that would eventually drop... eventually. And then get a regular weapon.[/QUOTE] I thought quality 1-4 was from contracts, and 3-6 from crates... So you could can still get a pretty rare skin even if you don't get a strange or unusual?

[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;48138294]People hated being locked into a single uber once they popped, so valve buffed the vacc to let you have multiple ubers on the same person. However, this alone would be overpowered, so they slapped on a random debuff and called it a day. However, the trouble is that the vacc is centered mostly on pocketing. The resistances require a lot of attention in order to properly use, so people stick to one heal target to keep their focus on the resistances. Now, you have to not only pay attention to resistances, but also to the overheal level of basically the entire team, which makes it a lot less fun to use.[/QUOTE] Actually use the damn thing, in any game mode running stock tf2 and tell me its viable.

[QUOTE=Thatrandomuser;48137943]Just unboxed these two after a few crates and probably way too much money [img]http://puu.sh/iPHKm/beb51f1d3c.png[/img] I love you too, RNGesus <3[/QUOTE] The disparity in texture resolution between the weapon and the kill counter is pretty shocking. Is that just your settings or is that just how it looks?

[QUOTE=Trekintosh;48138586]The disparity in texture resolution between the weapon and the kill counter is pretty shocking. Is that just your settings or is that just how it looks?[/QUOTE] Just how it looks in the "inspect weapon" model viewer. I have a feeling that the game imports lower resolution textures for the main model in that to make load-times shorter. The ingame view is gorgeous [t]http://puu.sh/iPXDw/407aa766df.png[/t]

[QUOTE=Poopy Joe;48137941]Because of the lack of oxygen, my demo has been seeing some [I]crazy[/I] stuff on rd_asteroid.

Here's my version after screwing with mat_phong a little bit: [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/450707701598847177/35B7D5F04A52AC617C29376FCAC505BA91BC3D81/[/t] Edit: So BLU base appears normal to me... until I started to move real far away from it: [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/450707701598865939/DE488988371CB1793EC7122500EC53952BB5F698/[/t][t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/450707701598866586/ED2DE7BD03B795B427D10D5F5A7B2111445EA7C8/[/t]

Ayy

oh damn

[QUOTE=Punchy;48138956][HD]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMdN7EMZFVE[/HD] Ayy[/QUOTE] Wait, it's unlisted, how did you find it?

Note that it's Blue Team, not Red Team. While "Red" is doing MVM, is this what Blue is doing???

[QUOTE=PSI Guy;48139013]Note that it's Blue Team, not Red Team. While "Red" is doing MVM, is this what Blue is doing???[/QUOTE] Mann vs Martian, sounds good to me. Just slap a shitty alien skin on the robots and call it a day!

[QUOTE=Punchy;48138956][HD]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMdN7EMZFVE[/HD] Ayy[/QUOTE] So, what, is this a community map, a community update, or what

[QUOTE=TectoImprov;48139017]Mann vs Martian, sounds good to me. Just slap a shitty alien skin on the robots and call it a day![/QUOTE] More like it's Reverse MVM, you attack the "Martian" base and deliver a bomb or something to blow up their ship. They set up defenses and try to push you back.

The pyro just appeared out of thin air. Mabye pyro has something more to do with this?

Btw why WIP ? If its the SFM, looks finished to me.

[QUOTE=Punchy;48138956][HD]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMdN7EMZFVE[/HD] Ayy[/QUOTE] Oh shit guys [img]http://puu.sh/bc5sJ/771728e9e8.png[/img] Remember this picture back in August? The secret Kritzkast thing?

[QUOTE=Fluff;48139030]Btw why WIP ? If its the SFM, looks finished to me.[/QUOTE] There's probably tiny errors here and there that we've yet to notice, the ones I have noticed is that the bucket on scouts head twitches when he gets up, and the entire sequence of the barn getting ripped apart looks q bit strange.

[QUOTE=Toro;48139077]There's probably tiny errors here and there that we've yet to notice, the ones I have noticed is that the bucket on scouts head twitches when he gets up, and the entire sequence of the barn getting ripped apart looks q bit strange.[/QUOTE] Yeah but they're like [I]really tiny[/I] details. Also, let's not forget that its a trailer so we may get a community made short like EOTL imo (wich could explain the WIP).

You know if this Invasion thing is a community update it would make sense that we know nothing about it. Just look at End of the Line, we (supposedly) knew everything that was gonna be in the update, and based our excitement around that. When it wasn't what we expected, we were rightly disappointed. But with this new (possible) update, we know almost nothing about it, our expectations aren't through the roof because we have no expectations. If my theory is true I hope this isn't an excuse for Valve to cut possible content, whether it be a map, weapon, or even a damn hat.

They nailed the humor. I love it.

Probably still needs some polish, mainly sound. All the barn debris falling had me expecting a thunderous cacophony, but it was more like someone just dropped an armful of 2x4s instead.

Uh, the [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=312298750"]Invasion Workshop collection[/URL] has updated, now with the logo from the trailer. They also removed some of the items from it (Like the Kreigsmachine 9000) and added it [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=456016898"]two[/URL] [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=454139808"]maps[/URL] from the Mercs VS Aliens contest There's also the [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=346164037"]Helmet[/URL] from the update, and its workshop images are from the trailer just leaked/posted. Also worth noting is that the item is made by Harry101UK, and its his only item. This must have been done to give him credit since he animated the scene on the page

So much of those workshop items just scream for this year's Halloween update.

Man, even the work in progress trailer is fantastic! While it may be a community event, I'm still excited. Can't wait to see where this goes.

[QUOTE=K4ZMA;48139198]So much of those workshop items just scream for this year's Halloween update.[/QUOTE] Yeah I think Valve would be smart to make this invasion update their Halloween update so they can focus on other stuff like Spy vs Engie and the Christmas update.

[QUOTE=K4ZMA;48139198]So much of those workshop items just scream for this year's Halloween update.[/QUOTE] God, I hope not. There's too much stuff there which is too good to be Halloween/Full Moon Restricted.

At this point I don't think that Spy versus Engineer is actually happening

[QUOTE=geel9;48139023]So, what, is this a community map, a community update, or what[/QUOTE] All we know for sure is what the [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/28542r/iam_the_creator_of_lil_guardian_pyro_saxxy_2013/ci7hsm9"]Lil Guardian Pyro creators posted last year on reddit: [/URL] [QUOTE]Right now our production team is coming together to make a trailer to get the community inspired for a tentative TF2 Community Update. Hopefully it'll be finished and coming out soon![/QUOTE] It may or may not be an official community update.

When they are looking up, pyro is holding this [IMG]http://imageshack.com/a/img661/9840/8mgvaK.png[/IMG] and he is also waving.

Awww I feel really bad for him now. Leaking things is so not cool, especially when you're asleep and can't do anything about it. That said. That's a pretty awesome video and it's good to see some of the invasion stuff looks better than those [mostly bad] maps made last year for it. EDIT: Just saw the workshop page with the cosmetics. Some of those look rad, not seen those before.

Wait, this wasn't just a work in progress proof of concept? That super sucks for them that it's leaked
