Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=Cosmic feel;48104185]We got an ETA on the update?[/QUOTE] Today

[QUOTE=TomatoFlakes;48104194]Today[/QUOTE] Oh I know, I mean an ETA on what time today

Does anyone else think the loot taunt found in SFM will be used for this?

What's weird about the Dalokah's is that it says it can buff you [I][B]up to[/B][/I] 400 health. It does not say that it buffs you any more than it did before. This kind of implies that you're still only getting 50 health from it per consumption, but if you eat it twice you get buffed to 400. That kind of negates a lot of the usefulness, considering how it lasts for only 30 seconds and the cooldown is 10 seconds. You're only getting 20 seconds of 400 health.

So wait, is the Campaign Pass required to play on Borneo, Suijin, and Snowplow? I've seen conflicting reports and would like to make sure.

[QUOTE=VietRooster2;48104256]So wait, is the Campaign Pass required to play on Borneo, Suijin, and Snowplow? I've seen conflicting reports and would like to make sure.[/QUOTE] Nope, it can be played like any regular map.

Okay, good. I was just making sure we're not going full CS:GO.

[QUOTE=ElderLolz;48103217][IMG]http://puu.sh/iKJJM.png[/IMG] Can't wait to see trillions of "Twilight Sparkle's Cunt Destroying Device™" renames.[/QUOTE] I'm not a 'Brony' or someone who will ruin it with naming it something like you suggested, but that's the only weapon skin out of all of it that I like, but it's definitely not going to replace my Austrailium Sniper Rifle (I know a lot of people who agree with their Aussies coming first). It's going to be pretty damn annoying if they ONLY allow you to 'inspect' 'skinned' weapons and not the Aussie ones. It's also annoying to see that there's a low chance of getting a strange version of the new skinned weapons. Kinda defeats the point if you've already got a Strange, Killstreak weapon of the same type.

[QUOTE=VietRooster2;48104282]Okay, good. I was just making sure we're not going full CS:GO.[/QUOTE] Nope only 75%

Just an FYI, yeah, paying for the campaign sucks and all, but if this is anything like CS:GO, even a couple of skins, maybe [I]1[/I] crate will get you your money back.

I'm really happy with the Spycicle/Enforcer/DR combo being nerfed now. Can't wait for all of those spies to complain about it

[QUOTE=GuntMyFries;48104379][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/YI6iptE.png?1[/IMG] So How about these 2 guns here? They aren't part of any collection....[/QUOTE] The shotgun is part of the Teufort collection seeing that there is a shotgun in the same scheme but instead of red: it's blue. Also it's an example of that there is indeed team coloring for the skins. [T]http://i.imgur.com/1rOajWH.png[/T] Same deal for the SMG but it's in the "PowerHaus" collection: [T]http://i.imgur.com/xpZBlBx.png[/T]

I actually hadn't really looked at the balance changes all that much, but [I]wow[/I] a lot of them are class-changing.

Will these skins act as tools , similar to name tags and paint cans? I might give them a chance, otherwise, I'm not sure I'm willing to give up on my stranges, botkillers, strange parts, names, desc. and so on

I did a little girl scream when I saw all the bufs they gave to heavy, it's almost like valve almost loves him again

[QUOTE=Cosmic feel;48104220]Oh I know, I mean an ETA on what time today[/QUOTE] Later today

So to what extent will these skins be randomized? Will certain skins have variations other than the ones that were listed?

[QUOTE=VintageCat;48104505]How the heck do you stab people with a knifelike that?[/QUOTE] The same way they can stab with a saxxy.

[QUOTE=bulka96;48103249] Additionally, has anybody already used this as a profile picture? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/tnXdWRl.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Great idea.

[QUOTE=Makzu;48104524]Great idea.[/QUOTE] Now there's, what, 3 people with that avatar I've seen today? Jeez, Bulka, you are influential.
