Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

And, to NOBODY'S SURPRISE, TF2Center chat is filled with people despising the new update

Heh. Imagine if you could wear dropped hats next update!

[QUOTE=MrCasual;48099704]Heh. Imagine if you could wear dropped hats next update![/QUOTE] You could grow a beard within a second. I'm up for that.

[QUOTE=Jetamo;48098800]people complained when CSGO was getting weapon cases and skins. In a few weeks/months you'll be fine with this.[/QUOTE] Im still not fine with this. This is why i actually don't play cs:go.

I'm probably just grasping at straws here, but this really feels like a stab at how close the 500th update is: [img]http://puu.sh/iKebb.jpg[/img] [sp]just noticed, but that's the death clock watch from the love and war short with a sticker slapped on it.[/sp] I feel like they have something big planned, especially with the afterburner being teased in the balancing render.

Fingers crossed for a handful of cosmetics thrown in too, and not the limited type!

[QUOTE=MrCasual;48099704]Heh. Imagine if you could wear dropped hats next update![/QUOTE] A veteran medic and a F2P medic are racing through the map away from the enemy team. A burning huntsman shot impacts the veteran and his health begins to tick away. He cries desperately to the other medic to heal him, but all he does is stand and watch. The veteran burns out and goes limp on the ground as the F2P moves closer. Tossing aside his gibus and mercenary badge he equips the veterans Team Captain and Side Satchel before disappearing down a hallway. A few moments later the Huntsman sniper arrives and curses his luck for having wasted his burning arrow on a F2P medic.

update 500 is matchmaking beta

[QUOTE=MrCasual;48099704]Heh. Imagine if you could wear dropped hats next update![/QUOTE] Funny story, that's exactly what the GG2 team did for xmas 2010. Basically the event took a [I]Naughty or Nice[/I] approach. You could earn a hat by being nice (completing objectives) or naughty (killing a player that has a hat). It turned the game into a game within a game as players would wrestle over who gets to keep their hats. [img]http://i.imgur.com/fNSHy.png[/img] Was fun while it lasted.

were on 498 and it doesnt feel like it

Waiiiit... What if it's possible to pick up a frying pan as a spy or engineer? here's hoping for such a bug

i think the weapon cases should drop for everyone, but contract owners have an advantage in someway, like people who put the money out for the contract,should open it for free(?) or get (non-tradable/giftable ever) keys used for just opening the cases or maybe (not ever tradable or giftable) cases they could open for free i dont know i just think paying for something shouldnt reward you with something you have to pay to open but thats just me,valve probably thinks otherwise :v:

So here's a considerable potential exploit: Go Spy with stock knife/Big Earner/etc., and disguise. Get a buddy to go Eternal Reward Spy, then suicide to drop it. Boom, you can start off disguised with the Kunai.

So excited for Powerhouse, it's Hydro's artstyle mixed with a neat gamemode.

[QUOTE]tf2's first 3 point cp map[/QUOTE] isnt that mountain lab?

[QUOTE=ryanisawesome;48099909]isnt that mountain lab?[/QUOTE] hmmm I think it's supposed to be a 5cp map with only 3 control points

Gravelpit has 3 cps and has been in the game from the start so I really hope they don't mean it in that way :V

[QUOTE=ryanisawesome;48099909]isnt that mountain lab?[/QUOTE] Mountain lab is attack/defend, meaning 1 team attacks while the other defends. [editline]1st July 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Zesty McLime;48099917]Gravelpit has 3 cps and has been in the game from the start so I really hope they don't mean it in that way :V[/QUOTE] Gravelpit is also attack/defend.

alright, i didnt understand what they meant by that, i think it sound interesting, looking forward to it tomorrow seems to far away

I have a feeling that there is no way this is it for this update, there is going to be a weirdo bonus page tomorrow hen it comes out.

[QUOTE=Zeos;48099974]I have a feeling that there is no way this is it for this update, there is going to be a weirdo bonus page tomorrow hen it comes out.[/QUOTE] I find it wierd that they released part 1 and part 2 at the same time. Whats the point of having different "parts?" Also: the comic says "to be continued" so thats cool.

[QUOTE=ryanisawesome;48099909]isnt that mountain lab?[/QUOTE] Based on the description it's like a 5CP map but with 3 points, not an attack/defend cp map like Mountain Lab.

[QUOTE=facepunched8;48099977]I find it wierd that they released part 1 and part 2 at the same time. Whats the point of having different "parts?" Also: the comic says "to be continued" so thats cool.[/QUOTE] When the update comics end in "To Be Continued...", they are just referring to you eventually getting to play the Update. This was confirmed a while back when somebody asked in an email when the MvM comic also ended in the same way.
