Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=Slashex;48243726]What the fuck was the point of the dead year of 2013 and the meh year of 2014 for TF2 then if they weren't starting work on porting it to TF2? TF2 team went from Valve's best team to their worst, but I just hope this was before whatever massive changes occured to lead to Gun Mettle update. Maybe someone smart got 'promoted' as much as one can in flat management, and someone dumb quit/reassigned/fired from the TF2 team?[/QUOTE] A CSGO guy walked past the TF2 section, saw nothing but a janitor playing solitaire against a potted plant (and apparently winning judging from the plant's expression). So he sat down, dusted off a random rusting workstation, made some shitty skins real quick without even bothering to come up with fitting terminology or optimizing them, released the update then moved on.

[QUOTE=ComodoreBluth;48242218]I do think that Valve will eventually move TF2 (and CSGO) to Source 2, though it's going to be at least a year or two down the road. Moving all active Valve games to Source 2 just makes sense, as it would allow Valve staff to more freely move between games. Also we've heard that a lot of newer Valve employees work on TF2, it would make sense to have TF2 on Source 2 so they don't have to be trained on Source 1, then retrained on Source 2. Of course this is Valve they are talking about, they don't always do the logical thing.[/QUOTE] Or even better. Re-boot tf2. Keep some and remove unnecessary in place introduce new. Whole arena maps could be made koth and arena it self could be removed. Bread dropping from teleporters could be finally removed. Failed attempts like TC and medieval could be removed and many more.

porting is useless when what we really need is for tf2 to be completely rebuilt from the ground.

[QUOTE=_Pai;48241215][URL]http://www.teamfortress.tv/thread/27103/what-are-the-upcoming-lan-dates#16[/url][/QUOTE] I'm not suprised. :v:

[QUOTE=Metaru;48243817]porting is useless when what we really need is for tf2 to be completely rebuilt from the ground.[/QUOTE] Hence I've mentioned a reboot. Still same tf2 just made better from scratch.

wich makes it even more unlikely to happen.

[QUOTE=Metaru;48243839]wich makes it even more unlikely to happen.[/QUOTE] Sad but true.

I wonder how the community would react if one summer update would literally just be 100% optimization and bug fixes instead of rebalanced and content..

Hydro was one of the best maps, back in 2007. They just failed, because Valve never bothered to include them into QuickPlay. And medieval could be easily fixed by removing random crits and the enforced demo shield charge crits

[QUOTE=Fluury;48243915]I wonder how the community would react if one summer update would literally just be 100% optimization and bug fixes instead of rebalanced and content..[/QUOTE] I'm kind of waiting for the skin optimization update. The framedrops are surreal.

Hydro could be redone into decent CP. Things could be improved but hoping that valve would make them right is like having a hope to wake up dead using defibrillator, it my jerk and kick but it's ain't spark of life.

[QUOTE=Johnny Joe;48242766]I had no idea making a single post was "Whining on and on."[/QUOTE] First off, I meant what I said - whin[I][B]g[/B][/I]ing. Not whining, whinging. Look it up - it'll help you be a bit more cosmopolitan. :wink: Second, your single post doesn't exist in a vacuum. There's a constant stream of people with entitlement issues bitching about every new development in TF2 (or lack thereof). Maybe you yourself haven't made a dozen posts about the exact same thing, but you're just one more person adding to the heaping [I][B]mountain[/B][/I] of negativity about how you're not not getting your way. Call it the straw that broke the camel's back. The point is, acting like an asshole over not getting the special treatment you think you "deserve" in regards to your [I][B]free[/B][/I] video game is just such a "First World Problem" it makes me sick. Maybe you don't like me saying that. Maybe you think [I][B]I'm[/B][/I] being an asshole. But at least [I][B]you[/B][/I] don't have to put up with the same bullshit over and over from seemingly every other random jerk that comes along and feels the need to complain and gripe and moan about how everything sucks because their free video game update didn't include something they wanted or did include something they didn't.

alright so if people can't argue without resulting to ad hominems or picking on the language used in any fashion whatsoever don't argue at all, ever again you're meant to argue the facts and the points to disprove, prove, or to learn and educate not to belittle, berate or to be degenerative. Act on the topic, not the person talking about it (unless your counterargument is based around bias and personal affairs clouding the other persons statement etc)

How about stop altogether.

hate to continue it but both whingeing and whinging are correct anyway

there is a reason why i long for that hydro tshirt from welovefine.

[QUOTE=_Pai;48241215][URL]http://www.teamfortress.tv/thread/27103/what-are-the-upcoming-lan-dates#16[/url][/QUOTE] Is this after a recent meeting or when they announced MM and said "Source 2 it's not happeing anytime soon as they don't see a need for it"?

:plsunderstand: there's a 0.5% chance TF2 Classic could get ported to S2 if/when an SDK arrives :v:

[QUOTE=chipsnapper2;48246952]:plsunderstand: there's a 0.5% chance TF2 Classic could get ported to S2 if/when an SDK arrives :v:[/QUOTE] Hooray?

[QUOTE=chipsnapper2;48246952]:plsunderstand: there's a 0.5% chance TF2 Classic could get ported to S2 if/when an SDK arrives :v:[/QUOTE] i'd be more optimistic 5%

[QUOTE=ImACrocketMan;48183750]recently found this while looking at the gun mettle stuff in gmod, not sure if it was discovered yet [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Hd1QANQ.png[/IMG] a bodygroup for what looks like a headshot skull on the stat clock. comes in red and blu[/QUOTE] i can probably guess that this skull shows up if you pick up another player's gun that has a stat clock, but i'm not sure from what i've seen. i only picked up a stat clock minigun and it was [B]super[/B] small on my screen and is unclear in the screenshot i took. would anyone care to help me test this theory?

I can't believe the next comic chapter still isn't out.

I swear to god if we get another six week delay on the comic I will scream

I forgot there was supposed to be another chapter. Maybe it'll come at the end of the campaign.

[QUOTE=Brobattington;48247843]I swear to god if we get another six week delay on the comic I will scream[/QUOTE] is now a bad time to mention that we're 3 and a half weeks through the 6 to 8 week delay he outright said we'd have also we learned that part of the reason for the delay wasn't because they were sitting around doing nothing, but because they were busy making the gun mettle comic instead. i'm kind of surprised people are already bouncing back to "valve never releases any comics" after just a few weeks like this.

The Gun Mettle was certainly not worth the increased time to finish the comic series. It wasn't funny, it wasn't interesting, it was just kinda there, it didn't really have a purpose
