Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=Fluury;48140345]Currently you can only somewhat expect two things : -Hats (high chance) -2 Maps (??)[/QUOTE]no no no no no don't expect anything except the hats, it won't end well otherwise :v:

I'm rather confused, is this an actual community driven update or just a promotion for a community created event?

[QUOTE=Fluury;48140345]Currently you can only somewhat expect two things : -Hats (high chance) -2 Maps (??)[/QUOTE] I'd hope we also get new skinpacks, and perhaps a new set of contracts entirely. Also balance updates.

Feels like 2010 all over again

damn it, Aliens!!! don't hype their propaganda.

...Alright everyone, before another EOTL happens please take a look at this... [t]https://rdouglasfields.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/neuralizer_large.jpg[/t]

Jesus christ EOTL Update was terrible

[QUOTE=Freeze;48140355]no no no no no don't expect anything except the hats, it won't end well otherwise :v:[/QUOTE] Cant even be sure of hats what with the GunMettle update having none.

[QUOTE=Shaohs;48140473]Jesus christ EOTL Update was terrible[/QUOTE] Might as well use the neuralyzer again to forget it

Dunno what youre talking about. Powerhouse is like the cool mix between gorge ans hydro

[QUOTE=Metaru;48140552]Dunno what youre talking about. Powerhouse is like the cool mix between gorge ans hydro[/QUOTE] I love the map, but i also play tomislav heavy and the map is built in favor of corner camps, soo

[QUOTE=AkujiTheSniper;48140551]Might as well use the neuralyzer again to forget it[/QUOTE] Man, MvM was pretty fucking great

[QUOTE=Metaru;48140552]Dunno what youre talking about. Powerhouse is like the cool mix between gorge ans hydro[/QUOTE] Words "Fun" and "Hydro" can't be in the same sentence.

[QUOTE=clearsky;48140586]Words "Fun" and "Hydro" can't be in the same sentence.[/QUOTE] They can be in the same sentence alright. "Hydro is not fun"

I know saying hydro is bad is quite trendy and shit but its one of the best maps when you have a group of competent people playing their roles accordingly. Some of the best rounds of my life have been pusing back and forth on hydro.

God damn, this is meet the spy all over again but worst, must really suck if someone you know leaks this kind of stuff, at least it keeps mus, you know, speculating.

[QUOTE=Punchy;48136787]i don't rely on it all, smartass. I think it It looks cool. Phong is a gaudy white shine on everyones back, i like it cartoony.[/QUOTE] It seems no one realizes mat_phong 0 looking the way it does is actually a bug with the lightwarps. NeoDement pointed this out to me with the [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1917565"]Foster's Facade Phong Fix[/URL]. Let me demonstrate (focus on the mask, ignore the rest of the pyro): [B]mat_phong 0[/B] [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/594717282286589209/92EE302B9EB1F4F6B296FDC86A4587632F66E199/[/t] [B]mat_phong 1[/B] [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/594717282286594796/9F0D9AAD40CD4F03A16EC28D5D70E39EA33EB4E4/[/t] Not only does mat_phong 0 remove the shininess on the metallic parts of the hat (as intended), but it also drastically changes the shading (not intended). Essentially, your "cartoony" effect is a bug with the engine that could be patched out at any moment. If aesthetics are your issue, a lot of the ugly whiteness is removed by just using r_rimlight 0, it's bug-free and it's not marked as a cheat anymore.

thank god rimlighting no longer is a cheat command, never liked it tbh

[QUOTE=Snowshoe;48140738][t]http://i.imgur.com/b0mvaWJ.png[/t][/QUOTE] Rimlight 0 should be default. This picture is so much nicer.

On the topic of the possible alien invasion update one the maps in the workshop has a Halloween tag now: [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=454139808[/url] With this and the fact that a lot of these cosmetics and items look like Halloween items i'm going to assume this is one big alien Halloween themed update.

Halloween tags are set by the author though. It doesnt mean its for halloween.

I hope the Invasion update has Alien Rubber Ducks.

You're a tardis.

[QUOTE=Oizen;48140956]I hope the Invasion update has Alien Rubber Ducks.[/QUOTE] Nah, cant be. McVee didnt work on the map

I hope the invasion update isn't for Halloween, because that means the new cosmetics will be restricted and most of them fit in the artstyle and could be put in as a new theme, especially since we're getting asteroid as a new space themed map

[QUOTE=Popularvote;48140965]You're a tardis.[/QUOTE]In my dreams, maybe.

I want to ask usual-thread-users something. We're coming up to needing a new thread soon, and I'm wondering if the name of the thread should... change? Namely, from Major Update Speculation to Major Update Discussion. Gods knows it's used a LOT more for discussion than speculation, and this would solve a large amount of arguments about the subject.
