Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=Darth_Toast;47927148]21 mb...[/QUOTE] ...How big is that? Comparred to other Updates, I mean.

[QUOTE=Jboby1;47927168]...How big is that? Comparred to other Updates, I mean.[/QUOTE] It's a pretty small update. It is pretty late for an update for TF2 though, it's past 7PM Valve time and they don't usually release updates past 5 their time.

[QUOTE=Jboby1;47927168]...How big is that? Comparred to other Updates, I mean.[/QUOTE] Run of the mill.

[QUOTE=Jboby1;47927168]...How big is that? Comparred to other Updates, I mean.[/QUOTE] The average major update is around 500 mb iirc. So thats like 2 hats....or more likely just some bugfixes.

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;47927175]Run of the mill.[/QUOTE] Frack. I was hoping for something.

Whats the point in updating the prerelease branch?

[QUOTE=facepunched8;47927196]Whats the point in updating the prerelease branch?[/QUOTE] Testing, I'm sure. But for what?

[QUOTE=Jboby1;47927191]Frack. I was hoping for something.[/QUOTE] wasn't everyone?

[QUOTE=Jboby1;47927191]Frack. I was hoping for something.[/QUOTE] We all were, Jboby1, we all were.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love an update on sale day, but come on.

[QUOTE=Immobilized;47927221]wasn't everyone?[/QUOTE] Yup, even those guys acting all high and mighty saying "you morons shouldn't expect an update" were all secretly hoping, too.

well what localization files were updated?

Is it happening?

What is this small update even adding/fixing? Do we have notes or anything?

[QUOTE=gigazelle;47911342]Well, given the supposed imminent update, time for MUS raffle #3! Win a brand spankin' new key: [img]https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/thumb/8/83/Backpack_Mann_Co._Supply_Crate_Key.png/250px-Backpack_Mann_Co._Supply_Crate_Key.png?t=20111120031029[/img] Haven't done this in like 6 months, so here are the rules: - Vote for the time period you speculate the update hits - Date voted upon is according to Valve's time zone, which is PDT - After the update hits, those who correctly speculate the correct date are entered into the raffle - You are disqualified if you change your vote at any time With that said, here are the dates: [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/img]: TOMORROW'S THE NIGHT (Tuesday the 9th) [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/palette.png[/img]: Wednesday the 10th [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/information.png[/img]: Thursday the 11th [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/wrench.png[/img]: Friday the 12th [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/clock.png[/img]: There is no update this week[/QUOTE] Hey can the people that voted artistic get their chances to possibly claim their winnings? You didn't really specify "it has to be a public branch update"...

I can see it now, balaclavas have a chance to fall out of teleporters. [I]Community hype ensues.[/I]

Anybody working to check what files got changed? There might be some interesting references to upcoming content in there. [sp]probably not but worth giving a glace[/sp]

[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;47927382]Anybody working to check what files got changed? There might be some interesting references to upcoming content in there. [sp]probably not but worth giving a glace[/sp][/QUOTE] tf_misc_dir.vpk and tf_misc_009.vpk but I don't know what files

[QUOTE=Snowshoe;47927398]tf_misc_dir.vpk and tf_misc_009.vpk but I don't know what files[/QUOTE] So, possibly the summer sale tf2 items?

i doubt it, if they had added cosmetics it wouldve been tf_misc_dir.vpk and tf_textures_dir.vpk

Just checked the items_game.txt file, and the new lines to it only indicate new [B][I]goddamn fucking[/I][/B] competitive badges. Nothing important. Until tomorrow or next week guys.

Yay more badges! Right guys? right......

Oh FINE I'll go through Windows RPV and diff the VPK contents. [editline]10th June 2015[/editline] Oh fuck I don't have system protection on on my D:\ drive. Luckily, Windows Backup!

They wanted to keep it a surprise?

[QUOTE=OneFourth;47927474]Why would they use the prerelease branch for the first time in over two years to only add strings for badges?[/QUOTE] They have no idea what they're doing? I get that vibe a lot from the TF team.

Maybe they were testing to see if it still worked. Either that or they remembered that they had it.

[QUOTE=facepunched8;47926976]This is kind of off-topic but why doesnt Valve add Arena or Arena Respawn as an "official" gamemode? They made a news post about it a while back. [URL="http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=14487"]http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=14487[/URL][/QUOTE] Arena [I]is[/I] official, but Arena Respawn isn't.

[QUOTE=DarthMewtwo;47927756]Arena [I]is[/I] official, but Arena Respawn isn't.[/QUOTE] Except for randomizer and saxton hale isn't arena dead these days?
