Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=OneFourth;47898923]why was it posted in the major update speculation thread if there was nothing to speculate on[/QUOTE]People thought there were some stuff to speculate on. That was before void's announcement on the matter.

It really bugs me that the MUS tag is now beta because that makes no sense and now it just matches the tf2c thread

we can always move to the other one if we really want to

[QUOTE=WhyNott;47898987]we can always move to the other one if we really want to[/QUOTE] The otherone has a better title, anyway.

[QUOTE=MissingGlitch;47899213]Well when you are starving for information. Anything becomes speculation. Which in return will make you more disappointed when it wasn't what all the speculation was building up to.[/QUOTE] that's in no way relevant at all to what i said but okay

[QUOTE=Fluury;47897961]What I can [I]perfectly[/I] see coming : TF2 Matchmaking! [B]Beta[/B][/QUOTE] Everything's beta. Even the thread icon.

[QUOTE=Punchy;47899289]that's in no way relevant at all to what i said but okay[/QUOTE] I misread. Sorry about that. :v:

I'm probably gonna shot myself in the foot. but i expect something to happen next week with tf2. [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/IMG]

If that summer sale date leak is accurate, a major update is practically guaranteed for next week.

[QUOTE=Metaru;47898300] [IMG]http://www.ohgizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/disco_ball_hat.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] I like how they list "the ball really turns" like it's this mind-blowing feature never seen before

It's weird that there are two threads. Like if it were two different cults.

[QUOTE=Qwerty Bastard;47900383] This guy looks way too happy about his disco ball hat.[/QUOTE] it's apparently an unusual, who wouldn't be happy?

Can we just make a point to abandon one of the threads? I really don't feel up to monitoring 2 seperate threads of the same subject

[QUOTE=Freeze;47897729]Feels like a lot of the people complaining about how stuff was overhyped in MyM are the ones that were always saying not to get hyped anyway. If this is indeed the case why does it matter to you because you weren't getting hyped anyway so you shouldn't be let down? Like, I don't think I see many people that were actually enjoying themselves saying how bad this has been. As someone who *was* getting hyped honestly I don't feel that let down. I'll admit a bit of sadness that it wasn't something bigger but on the overall just the confirmation that we're getting a new Valve made made and that that wasn't asteroid in the middle is good enough for me. I mostly just enjoyed the search for clues! Honestly I'm surprised I'm one of the more optimistic ones in this thread. A year ago when EotL came out I would have thought I'd be in the same mindset as you guys are now. Weirdly, I actually think this year could be great for TF2. The drought is nothing new (even if it does feel a bit worse than usual) and I am a bit annoyed at Valve announcing the taunt workshop then never using it but there's more potential than ever for the game right now! We have Spy vs Engi coming out probably in a week or two, then at some point we've also got the competitive matchmaking stuff (which for me is going to be [I]huge[/I] - I honestly hope it's *part* of Spy vs Engi but I highly doubt it). Then we also now know we've got the Invasion update coming at probably some point this year - in which I'm optimistic that Valve might have learned from their mistakes a little with community updates. This isn't even mentioning the Halloween and Smissmass stuff which will definitely at least be something. I'm more optimistic about this year for TF2 than I've been in a long time. It makes me real sad to see all you guys so pessimistic but I also completely get why that is - it isn't unfounded. We've been burned before and nobody wants to get burned again. Personally though, I'm just [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Ahh yes. I tend to agree that things are looking good for TF2 at the moment. Currently we are getting: - A new war! update. When was the last time we had a freaking war! update? Its rumored to add new weapons which is always nice but it could add a few new maps (cactus canyon, asteroid) and even a new gamemode (robot defence.) - Competitive matchmaking. Who knows, valve might even use CM to find the weapons that need nerfing or buffing. That is a good thought for sure. - A space themed update that will probably add cool looking cosmetics and maybe even a SFM, hopefully weapons, and maybe even maps since that... - Maps are now on the steam workshop. So thats cool. - Oh and there is also Mann-power for those who enjoy that. Not sure when this is going out of beta. Im optimistic that at least one or two of these additions will be awesome. Maybe even more.

I really don't feel up to monitoring 2 seperate threads of the same subject[/QUOTE] Pros of this one: more posts so far pros of the other one: -cooler title -different icon, so it doesnt get mixed up as easly with TF2C

I hope that comic teaser on mak's mym article is issue 6 of RoF or an update comic because if thats what state issue 5 is in ... I will eat various hats.

Anyone kind enough to link me to this other thread, so i can see what is going on there too? I am, as the join date indicates, pretty new to facepunch, and i dont really know how to find it. :7

Honestly the mods just need to lock one of the new MUS threads, things are going to get confusing fast if Valve does ship a major update this week.

It's nice to hear that Valve are making a new map, it's an indication that they're still keen on doing gameplay content that requires a considerable amount of work, but I really hope that both Asteroid and Cactus Canyon are finished and shipping soon - otherwise the number of half-finished projects in Beta stuck in a development limbo will rise further. Imagine the ultimate troll move of the (likely) upcoming summer update introducing a Beta version of this new map and some seriously lacking Beta version of Matchmaking as the new content while none of the other stuff (Asteroid, CC, Mannpower, Map Workshop) is officially wrapped up :suicide:

In the old thread, I remember seeing a strange spy knife texture called cufflink_knife, it was for the most part identical to stock knife. We were wondering if we'd get a new sharp dresser, now this post reminded me of it.

[QUOTE=ComodoreBluth;47905180]Honestly the mods just need to lock one of the new MUS threads, things are going to get confusing fast if Valve does ship a major update this week.[/QUOTE] Yeah, better have only one disappointed thread than two.

Welp, today is monday, and it would be the perfect day for an update to ship [sp2]since it's my birthday[/sp2]

If Spy vs Engi is a three day update it'd made sense for it to begin either today or tomorrow to coincide with the Steam sale.
