Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=Cosmic feel;48098811]I think the actual camo skins and some of the simplistic ones fit the game pretty well but some of the others don't make any sense[/QUOTE] Agreed. I personally really like the Teufort Collection rocket launcher and sticky. I'll be looking to acquire them on the day the update comes out.

[QUOTE=Ace of Butts;48098689]So...TF2 is now CSGO?[/QUOTE] [quote]New feature : Weapon exchange and pick up. Weapons dropped by killed players can no longer be picked up for ammo. Killed players will now also drop a medium ammo box. Players that can normally equip the dropped weapon (proper class) can look at the weapon and press the 'action key' to exchange it with what they have equipped. The player's equipped weapon will be dropped on the exchange.[/quote] [quote]yes[/quote]

Some of the balance changes are very strange. Like the swing speed penalty on the Solem Vow. Can't say I'm to excited for this at all. I do like the balance changes (not all) and the new maps, but the lack of new weapons and the uneasy feeling I get from some of these new weapon skins make me worry and feel a bit let down. The weapon change thing is something I can't agree with on any level for TF2. What works in other games doesn't work for some, and I feel TF2 is one of these games.

[QUOTE=godzirra;48098849]Agreed. I personally really like the Teufort Collection rocket launcher and sticky. I'll be looking to acquire them on the day the update comes out.[/QUOTE] i love camo (irl i have a legit collection of different camos) so I wanna get all of them if I can. I hope these things are tradeable

I hope some of these gun camos are team-colored though, it will bother me if I'm using a fully RED plaid pistol when I play Blu Scout/Engi.

oh the fan o' war super useful in mvm now. [QUOTE]Now crits whenever it would normally mini-crit Reduced damage penalty from -90% to -75%[/QUOTE]

counter-fortress 2

I just noticed that the Box Trot taunt was littered throughout the update pages.

[QUOTE=LittleBabyman;48098870]counter-fortress 2[/QUOTE] team fortress: global offensive

[QUOTE=Cosmic feel;48098811]I think the actual camo skins and some of the simplistic ones fit the game pretty well but some of the others don't make any sense[/QUOTE] I think if they just removed the powerhouse collection most of the skins would end up being pretty alright looking.

499th update - Gun Mettle 500th update - Competitive

[QUOTE=Spydurr117;48098876]team fortress: global offensive[/QUOTE] That sounds kinda badass honestly.

[QUOTE=Jetamo;48098800]Also, conveniently if this campaign lasts for three months, it'd end in...October, just in time for Halloween.[/QUOTE] Calling it now: spooky gun skins with skeletons and pumpkins available all year, the rest of halloween items remains restricted.

See, in CS:GO, it doesn't matter what the gun really looks like, as you're still mainly looking at the identifying character traits, but in a colour important game like this, it's really fucking weird.

So I knew all 3 of those maps were going in, and that gave me some semblance of hope that this update might be a good one. Guess that was kind of misplaced hope.

I'm ready for the flow of tears due to the changes to the DR.

Borneo is a great map, but I only played Suijin in VSH/FF2 servers. The description for Power House makes it sound like a reskinned Hydro..

panic attack got a well-deserved buff [QUOTE]Base Fire rate increased (from 15% to 30%) Base reload speed increased (from 33% to 50%) Added increased switch to speed by +50%[/QUOTE]

It's just a matter of time until we get skins workshop for tf2.

[QUOTE=Rumia;48098886][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/M82qGRm.jpg[/IMG] I'm ready to go nuclear with that taunt[/QUOTE] Stabbing on the edge

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8UshBN0.png[/IMG] So you can get Unusual weapons in this update apparently

im really thinking this update is really cool except for all the tf:go stuff the skins look like trash (imo) and im not feeling some of their changes im really crushed that it seems for the last couple of updates valve has sort of stopped caring for cosmetic contributors, so i guess i might as well slow down for a while on that just my thoughts, i guess

[QUOTE=ILLUMM;48098869]oh the fan o' war super useful in mvm now.[/QUOTE] how does doing 30 damage a hit is any more useful than before? it's for marking...

I legit think whoever was in charge of TF2 after DOTA 2 became a focus got shitcanned or "moved" to something less important. Also get fucked in hell ice-cicle knife.

oh my god all these balance changes this is the fucking best update spycicle, deadringer, BFB, loch, airstrike, scorch shot, panic attack, EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL OH MY GOD

BFB still OP shit.

[QUOTE=Hell-met;48098947]how does doing 30 damage a hit is any more useful than before? it's for marking...[/QUOTE] Marks things for full crits now. edit: nvm, read that all wrong
