Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=Supreveio;48027363]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.[/QUOTE] this is so lame I can actually see it happening that or rd_asteroid isn't even going to be released before October in which case everyone loses

Fill it with snakes and we'll have asperoid. Give us bumper cars again for fasteroid. But we know that unless it's memorable like the Horseless Headless Horsemann, the hype won't lasteroid.

[QUOTE=omegasupreme1;48027346]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.[/QUOTE] Nah, they will totally do Hydro next, and somehow make it worse.

[QUOTE=HL_Tentacle;48028051]Nah, they will totally do Hydro next, and somehow make it worse.[/QUOTE] All they really need to do to make it even worse is just add yet another boss that locks the capture points when it spawns.

[QUOTE=Supreveio;48028084]All they really need to do to make it even worse is just add yet another boss that locks the capture points when it spawns.[/QUOTE] Even better, the new boss is a capture point with legs, and frequently glitches through the ground, dying and preventing the game from ever ending. Your goal is to cap the point before it dies. EDIT: [QUOTE=Psychopath12;48027532]Populate the map with wizards and you can have esperoid. Fill it with snakes and we'll have asperoid.

[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;48028212]Man, that sure would be a Fate Worse Than Chess. :v:[/QUOTE] yes but it wouldn't be A Cold Day in Hell

[QUOTE=omegasupreme1;48028238]yes but it wouldn't be A Cold Day in Hell[/QUOTE] These threads are A Visual History of the death of TF2

After months of battles in Asteroid our mercs are tired and the place has worn out, robots are immobile in spot their mechanical echoes filling the empty walls with torment and 0-1 without meaning, the comets keep crashing on the buildings and causes the sublevel is filled with pools of deadly mercury. But the Ghost of the old battles keep coming back, respawn has failed and now, without a physical body, the Mercs have to fight not only eachother but their previous ghosts.

Dear God I was looking through 300+ new posts for this

[QUOTE=Gabe Newell Himself;48028503]Don't worry TF2 community, we've listened! This year's Scream Fortress maps are: tc_spooky_hydro_event and itemtest_event. We've also added SPOOKY hooks to Mannpower. We hope you have a great [del]2011[/del] 2015![/QUOTE] there you have it boys, let the speculation begin!

Maybe make a remasteroid.

[QUOTE=ryanisawesome;48029520]yea? well you can kiss my assteroid...wait[/QUOTE] Don't be so crassteroid. I'm having a blasteroid. (Alright, this is getting stupid. Let's stop.)

it was only perfect the first time

This is MUS now. The update starvation has caused this.

Is this the part where people all start pointlessly making update prediction contests and whatnot. Also remember when testing lol said spy vs engie would be around the same time frame as 2 cities

[QUOTE=poptart TF2;48029941]Is this the part where people all start pointlessly making update prediction contests and whatnot. Also remember when testing lol said spy vs engie would be around the same time frame as 2 cities[/QUOTE] The longest drought between major updates was between Two Cities and Love and War. Perhaps testinglol when they said "two cities time" meant something totally different

Maybe by Two Cities timeframe he literally meant November? :pessimism:

[QUOTE=TwoYearLurker;48022377]pretty sure testinglol said "two cities soon" since all of that backend stuff for the spy vs. engy war has just been sitting in the files finished and ready to go since like october at the time, we were still in the middle of the yearly update season, and we all thought it'd be released soon instead of for valve to just sit on it for eight months and counting[/QUOTE]

Don't mind me, just putting my two cents here. I don't even care about the comic or want big updates to change everything. If they just made medium-sized neat updates like smissmas 2k14 and Love & War Update once in a while I would be so damn happy, and I know a lot of the community would be too. But I think it's too late to feed just some grains for the starving birds. There will be complaining for any update, and there'll be [B]a lot[/B] of it. I think I just don't care anymore, there are a lot of other games getting new small and interesting updates anyway. I can aways go back to play one or two hours of TF2 once in a while...

Let's just make our own update.

[QUOTE=Kirillian;48030387]Let's just make our own update.[/QUOTE] Just as it is finished, Valve will immediately arrive and silently remove all gameplay-related content, leaving only hats.

[QUOTE=Kirillian;48030387]Let's just make our own update.[/QUOTE] Look how EOTL turned out

[QUOTE=Snowshoe;48030463]Look how EOTL turned out[/QUOTE] yeah, because valve cut its balls off

[QUOTE=Blackavar;48030484]yeah, because valve cut its balls off[/QUOTE] If we got Snowplow i would have been happy. A new map is a new map, and snowplow is asthetically different than 98% of all TF2 maps (the 2% being Viaduct and Coldfront.)
