Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=Lium;48038960]Then they're delusional. Who's getting the source 2 port again?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Captun Nick;48038977]theres no way anyone is jealous of tf2's current update status unless they know nothing about it[/QUOTE] The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

[QUOTE=poptart TF2;48037795] I have nothing but respect for everyone working on tf2c, they are doing something they believe in and I respect that but from what I've seen its going in a direction that i don't personally agree with[/QUOTE] I don't want to derail the discussion here, I'm slightly curious: what other things do you personally disagree with other then the random crits?

Add the fourth, green-colored Mann brother, and give him a fitting name, like Greenwich; 2. Make him a genius (of Gray Mann's level) who is obsessed with planting and greening, and who loves various plants so much that he turns them into sentient humanoid creatures; 3. Give him a plan to conquer the world by creating an unstoppable army of plants based on TF2 characters; 4. Make Greenwich and Gray Mann archenemies; 5. To increase the effect, give Gray factories which pollute the environment so much, even the land becomes dull and gray; 6. Make Greenwich and Gray invite the RED and BLU mercs to fight on the side of one of them; 7. Create a gamemode in which you pick a side and then lead the troops of the said side (be it plants or robots) against the enemy as one of the TF2 characters; 8. Add rewards for completing the new missions. For example, items which turn your class into a humanoid plant or a robot (like the Voodoo-Cursed Souls turn classes into zombies).

Welcome to the new-tf2 weapon-fixing megathread,powered by our friends at vault-tec and Aperture Science ! Here,we discuss about how broken the spycicle is,the dead ringer and finally,how the heavy is not that strong ! Pass a good day ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would LOVE to have all those invasion items on TF2 as stats item ! Imagine ! With galactic wars! Hell,it would relaunch the game !

[QUOTE=Metaru;48038277]most of the tf2 players bitching about dota 2's state, popularity or valve's devotion towards it are actually unaware that dota 2 major updates are scarce if not way less spaced between each other than they think. let alone dota 2 having its own share of glitches and bugs that need to be fixed if not the massive ammount of rebalancing that the damn thing demands on that daily basis. you think that the panic attack and the sun on a stick are useless? try having 1/3 of your 100+ hero pool never being used because no one will ever get out of the comfort zone.[/QUOTE] Yes, but dota 2 gets constant blog updates. TF2 gets one every 3 months atm Just by glancing it looks like they get a blog update every 1 - 2 weeks, sometimes multiple posts in a week

[QUOTE=Metaru;48039015]its most likely that source 2 gets implemented on dota 2 first, then to the rest. its not like dota 2 has only got like, 1 hero, one major update and thats all for 2015.(not counting the compendium)[/QUOTE] Team Fortress 2 has only got like, nothing, no major update and that's all for 2015 (not counting nothing).

Otherwise it's a bit less frequent.

TF2 needs bug fixes, buffs for bad items, nerfs for too powerful items, reworking for annoying items, all while making the weapons interesting enough to cause a playstyle change ( an example for a good goal would be the kritzkrieg ), buffs for heavy, comp support, comics finished well, communication with community, quality standards, and polish. In addition, I think it would be beneficial for a movie-lengh SFM that retells the comic story with a movie pacing to be theatrically released. (Think wreck it ralph ) Various merc figures/toys/cultural icon things like a sandvich to keep it in the public's conscious, with the goal to provide appeal for TF2 outside the gaming community and expand the player-base by 'abusing' the pixar-like asthetic.

No no no, what TF2 truly needs is [U]more medals[/U]. Can't ever have enough of those.

[QUOTE=Doom64hunter;48041424]No no no, what TF2 truly needs is [U]more medals[/U]. Can't ever have enough of those.[/QUOTE] We just need a seperate Slot for Medals, Like 3 Cosmetics and 1 Medal Slot Edit: Like this [img]http://i.imgur.com/CfQMG55.png[/img]

TF2's capability for public appeal beyond gaming and beyond the traditional gaming demographic is what sets it aside from CS:GO, Dota 2, and other mainstream games.

It's kind of surprising how they have something like this just waiting to be used and nobody touches it.

It's no longer in my Steam library (I did reinstall the OS however) but if it was still meant to be used, it would remain in the library as I have play time on it so it hasn't disappeared because I haven't played it (which some F2P games do). It's just one of those TF2 ideas the team thinks is great at the beginning and slowly phases it out for some unknown reason, never to use it again.

What a shame, I liked it while it lasted.

[QUOTE=poptart TF2;48042214]I think sniper could use some small tweaks to be less annoying[/QUOTE] What, like a accuracy ramp up that increases with the charge, making quick scopes more fair for both sides?

[QUOTE=Gentleman Cat;48042289]What, like a accuracy ramp up that increases with the charge, making quick scopes more fair for both sides?[/QUOTE] I redid that post because I thought he was talking about tf2 not tf2c. Although to answer your questions. Ever since I learned that reverse falloff existed on the crossbow I knew it made too much sense to put on sniper

we should buff the tide turner, right?

tonight would be a good/valid night for a blog post WHO KNOWS (not me)

[IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/IMG] - we get a major update this week [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/winner.png[/IMG] - we get a major update next week [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/heart.png[/IMG] - wait until scream fortress

I never understood why people come back here every week to make bets on when the update is rather than just waiting for the update or alternatively discuss statistics which would point to the likelyhood of a release date, which i'm sure the latter has been done multiple times already

My metal's on a June 31st release date for the update.
