Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=Acksor;48043067]My metal's on a June 31st release date for the update.[/QUOTE] The punchline being that there is no June 31st.

[QUOTE=facepunched8;48042788]What makes tonight more valid than anyother night?[/QUOTE]well, if the update is a three day update they can't do tomorrow (unless they were going for a saturday release which would be weird) and if it's a two day update that would mean a friday release which while possible also means that they don't have a bug fix day (still totally possible though).

What do you all think? [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2126504/pl_cthooloo_04.JPG[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Youme;48043321]What do you all think? [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2126504/pl_cthooloo_04.JPG[/IMG][/QUOTE] Assuming it's a Halloween version of Hoodoo, I think pl_voodoo would be a much better name.

Is that actually in the files? A bit worrying if they're currently working on the halloween update... EDIT: I guess not then. IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY, OKAY!? :v:

No way man, look at the trends. we're going to get an entirely new map this Halloween, precisely designed such that Mini-Sentries ruin it as much as possible.

Rate BOX if you think those NASTY DOTA STOLE OUR UPDATE >:((( rate wrench if u like engie :) rate crisscross if u like halloweenies :)) rate heart if u like heavy medic rate clock if u like [I]ZA WARUDO[/I] rate bolt if u liek BONK rate palette if mona lisa gives u a boner

It's already terrible. There's a reason why there exists a custom variation called pl_poodoo with literal mounds of shit and pools of piss :v:

that's a great use of HL2 material properties. there's like 8 types that nobody ever uses for their textures. it's just always concrete and metal everywhere

Do you guys think we are gonna get the Spy V Engi update before competitive matchmaking, vise-versa, or both at the same time?

Valve truly requires a dedicated community liaison to regulate expectations and coax discussion. By this time last year we already had a blog post inviting wild conjecture as Valve laid forth several of their plans. Did all of that speculation culminate in something objectively sensational? No (not yet at least), but it tided us all over until Love & War arrived. Valve seems to have forgotten the art of tease and reward.

[QUOTE=Magypsy;48044283]The fact that they're aware of how bad they are with PR yet do nothing about it is just infuriating.[/QUOTE] didn't they like openly admit last year (or earlier this year) they know that both their PR and support is terrible, and then proceeded to not do shit about it

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;48044443]Here's what happened: Valve Software doesn't care about custom maps.[/QUOTE] Nah, Valve cares about custom maps. Just look at DOTA 2 or CS:GO, where Valve encourages the Mapping Scenes there. Or even taking the privilege of letting us even have map designers, and making many mods into games. It's just that it took the TF Team a LONG time to really care about maps.

[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;48044443]Here's what happened: Valve Software doesn't care about custom maps.[/QUOTE] Well, the workshop was just put up, and they admitted they want to add in custom maps to future updates. Furthermore, pl_borneo was already uploaded to the cosmetics workshop, saying "uploaded to the workshop at Valve's request". So we already know at least one community map is getting added into the game soon.
