Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

Brakes are broken on hype train.

unless they changed suijin from the workshop version, it's still gonna have the absolutely insane sightline in the middle of the map going all the way from one team's spawn, to the control point, to the other team's spawn don't get me wrong, the map looks nice and every other part of the map is a ton of fun to play on, but that sightline...

I'm excited to try all the new maps, but it occurs to me that I haven't played in so long that essentially all the servers I frequented are even more dead than before and most of my friends have long since stopped playing TF2 :/

Jeez I haven't played tf2 in a while now. So now we can pick up dropped weapons? Cool, I wonder what happens when you pick up a strange weapon someone else dropped. I just hope I can pick up one of the new weapon skins off people I killd instead of paying 6 dollars just to see what it's like. [sp]And then drop it on the ground like a hot potato because they're so damn ugly.[/sp]

[QUOTE=DoktorAkcel;48105650]Brakes are broken on hype train.[/QUOTE] I'm not hyped, I'm nervous. I can't quite decide if the weapon pickup change will be bad or good, but I'm sure it'll affect the game hugely.

The odds of running into a class whos weapons you cannot pick up is going to be more common than the opposite.

So, I haven't seen any Exor comments. Is he too busy dancing for 12 hours straight to Heavy buffs?

Suijin is an awesome map, and I love that it got in. It's sort of difficult to describe the map, but there are many fall hazards, and it's very wide open and good for rocket/stickyjumping

I hope the new weapon skins have proper mini-crit and crit glow effects.

I just want to point out that this [I]is[/I] a thing [t]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHGtKnHWQAERmgV.jpg[/t]

What we shall all consider is that some of the terrible skins could look pretty rad on a lower quality like battle worn.

I dont want to buy any skins but i love the idea of a weapon looking tougher with age.

[QUOTE=facepunched8;48105770]Dumb question here; is the weapon quality only for those who have a weapon skin? I dont want to buy any skins but i love the idea of a weapon looking tougher with age.[/QUOTE] only for skins afawk

I'm glad we got something. Is it because of pressure from Overwatch and Dirty Bomb, I wonder?

[QUOTE=facepunched8;48105770]Dumb question here; is the weapon quality only for those who have a weapon skin?

Can't wait until Inspect animations are added to Spy's knives, they'll probably let you spam knife flips like this in CS:GO: [t]http://i.imgur.com/hYxsp8D.gif[/t]

Not counting the new achievements, 'May I cut in?' and 'Showboat' are the hardest achievements in-game.

Shame that you can't inspect default weapons, and stranges before the update won't have the kill counter on them. I was kinda hyped for that

[QUOTE=facepunched8;48105770]Dumb question here; is the weapon quality only for those who have a weapon skin? I dont want to buy any skins but i love the idea of a weapon looking tougher with age.[/QUOTE] look at the pictures of the different wear levels in the update page. all the wear does is expose bits of the weapon's regular base texture from underneath the skin. you couldn't apply that to an unskinned weapon since there's nothing to wear away.

[QUOTE=austin0331;48105835]Shame that you can't inspect default weapons, and stranges before the update won't have the kill counter on them. I was kinda hyped for that[/QUOTE] Pre-update stranges could be somewhat rarer after some time i can imagine? "Back in my day we didn't have no fancy kill counters on our stranges! And we was better for it."
