Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

We've all talked about this before many times. Saying 'I know something' and then going on to not tell us is infinitely more annoying than you just not saying anything.

[QUOTE=TheJoey;48025174]what if someone pointed an even bigger gun to your head ever think of that one, smart guy[/QUOTE] yeah, testinglol, you made a big mistake by telling someone information you weren't willing to share with everyone now let it go, o drunken one, testinglol won't hunt you down, you'll be safe with us

It's going to be the Medals workshop Beta. The Dope part about it is that Dope Pope will make 10 new alts to shitpost in reaction to it.

[QUOTE=Thatrandomuser;41839364]Hey Guys, I just got back from touring valve yesterday, and I'm just letting you all know that things are coming. Don't be so glum, we've got good stuff headed our way soon. Really good. The Future's so bright, I gotta wear sunglasses.[/QUOTE] I just remembered this post from August 2013 and thought it'd be relevant in this discussion. "So many good things coming our way" my ass. 2013 was a horrible year for TF2, and 2014 wasn't much better. A lot of the stuff people get through leaks or insider information will probably never see the light of day. Be weary of posts about "good times on the horizon" or any of that stuff.

Also whatever the hell happened to that official plan on dumping all the old Snowplow alpha/beta versions and the associated playtesting? I mean, I have alpha 1, but I was instructed not to release it even after the disappointment that was it not being included.

Though I don't think there'll be permission to release them (but you never know anyway).

I've grown so accustomed to associating the Steam Summer Sale with a sizable TF2 Summer update. Not getting one this year really put a spotlight on the complete radio silence from the TF2 team. I don't mind waiting, but I do mind being ignored; a blog or an informative news post would be really useful right about now.

I got caught up with our own launch of Snowplow and another project I was working on to get that all compiled. ... I will definitely talk to YM about it and see what we can do. Will let you know soon (not trademarked).

Why would I release all the horrible shitty old versions ?(That, I hasten to add, are terrible) A video maybe, but releasing old versions so people could actually play them? No way. Never the plan, never going to happen. NINJA EDIT: Oh look at me missing the page change. If Frozen ever said he'd release old versions.... dunno why, for the above reasons, plus, he joined after all the major gameplay changes were settled out.

Similar to how people saw the development iterations for Viaduct, albeit without being able to play it first-hand. It's a glimpse into the development process of the map, from start to finish. Sure, it could be done in a timelapse video, but some things would be completely lost in translation unless players could try it for themselves, such as the changes to the mode itself or the wildly different layouts that were ultimately discarded.

TheDrunkenOne, you've royally pissed me off. You hype us up for an update then say its not gameplay related? Typical valve releasing no gameplay related updates. Fuck you. And you are wannabe "leaker" shitposter. Glad I quit this game when I did, there will probably be no more fucking gameplay related updates anymore, just hats relating to furry shit. Anyway, heres my thoughts condensed into one video [video=youtube;EIj3fzeDGvQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIj3fzeDGvQ&feature=youtu.be[/video]

Here we go again.

Dope Pope thank you for making this thread interesting during the downtime.

[QUOTE=Dope Pope MX;48026221]And you are wannabe "leaker" shitposter.[/QUOTE] he has a point on this one

THE LORD AND SAVIOR HAS RETURNED REJOICE

I forgot to mention, I made a concept for the medic. Would be cool to see it in-game as a break from all this furry crap going on in TF2 (Yiffy Fox). How do you guys like it? I may be glad I quit this game, but I still like making content. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/0XA5OH2.png[/IMG]

Exactly as (I?) foretold. This is only the beggining of the grand depression.

July.

August.

Whenever the update hits in the following weeks.

So... let's do some speculation on what map we could get for Halloween. I believe that it has to either be a completely new map, or there won't be one at all. Valve has a pattern of choosing a map that is more annoying to fight Mini-Sentries on than the previous one. This all accumulated into the Mini-Sentry fuckfest that is doomsday_event. The problem now is, there is no map more annoying to fight Mini-Sentries on than Doomsday so Valve doesn't have a lot of choices. They can either make a new map that is worse than Doomsday, or not do one at all. or maybe they could do a second doomsday_event.

Provided Asteroid is released for real before Halloween, I could see it being the Halloween map. Just replace the robots with zombies, the cores with souls (or skulls or something). RD_Monsteroid.
