Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

Holy shit I just realized by looking at my badge. I got tf2 July 2, 2008 that means this is update released on my 7th year anniversary for tf2. Thanks gabe

[QUOTE=Combine 177;48106374]Can aynone who knows how this works on CSGO can tell me how easy is it to sell cases and get money back?[/QUOTE] Early on you can sell boxes for quite a nice price. After that the price of the boxes begin to plummit slowly.

[QUOTE=Judas;48106377]lmao bullshit there's no way they accidentally put an item in sfm and accidentally put in in place and accidentally took a picture of it and accidentally edited it in post[/QUOTE] We are talking about Valve here. The same company that thought they shipped a map update months ago, even though they didn't.

I guess the After Burner is the new red herring.

So it seems competitive mode will be a buy in pass similar to the gun mettle operation. Strings for menu buttons, queues and party chats were added. Judging by the strings, however, the queues seem like a mvm giant dump queue which is not what is preferred. Pauling seems to have voice overs related to the operation, including for each class, and for failing, suceeding, and taking the mission.

I got one kill (not an assist, a verified kill on the kill feed and all) with Air Strike and I didn't get an upgraded clip. I think it might be a glitch where it still acts like the fourth rocket counts as the upgrade from one kill. EDIT: I got two kills and got a fifth rocket, so my hunch was right. GG Valve. :v:

Imagine if update 500 actually was the comp beta. [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/img]

Hmm it seems the shortstop got stealth buffed.

[QUOTE=redscoot;48106422]Hmm it seems the shortstop got stealth buffed.[/QUOTE] How so??

Whats this afterburner thing we're talking about? [editline]2nd July 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=BlindSniper17;48106426]How so??[/QUOTE] uses its own ammo maybe?

[QUOTE=The Party Spy;48106316]It actually makes a lot of sense. No matter how hard Valve tries, players will find loopholes to exploit. Keeping stats on Valve servers prevents griefing and farming for rare items[/QUOTE] It also puts another nail in the coffin of community servers and forces people to play on Valve servers that are just dumb shooting galleries. I don't know, seems like something they'd mention before.

[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;48106426]How so??[/QUOTE] Can't tell if anything else changed but the reload is VERY fast.

here's the new strings related to competitive matchmaking [quote]// Ladder games "TF_Ladder_NoClassChangeRound" "You can't change classes after the game has started." "TF_Ladder_NoClassChangeReady" "You can't change classes while you are READY." "TF_Ladder_NoTeamChange" "Teams are locked for this match." "MMenu_PlayComp" "Play Competitive" "TF_Matchmaking_HeaderCompetitive" "Competitive" "TF_Matchmaking_MissingTicket" "%s1 doesn't have a ticket" "TF_Matchmaking_MissingPass" "%s1 doesn't have a Competitive Matchmaking Beta Pass" "TF_Matchmaking_CompetitiveExplanation" "In competitive games, you are automatically matched against players of similar skill rating.\n\nTo invite friends before being matched, start a Party by clicking the button below." "TF_Matchmaking_StartSearchChat" "Press 'Start Search' to start a game.\n" "TF_Matchmaking_InviteFriendsChat" "To play with friends, invite them to your party.\n" "TF_Matchmaking_PlayerJoinedPartyChat" "%s1 joined the party\n" "TF_Matchmaking_PlayerLeftPartyChat" "%s1 left the party\n" "TF_Matchmaking_AddedToQueue" "Added to matchmaking queue.\n" "TF_Matchmaking_RemovedFromQueue" "Removed from matchmaking queue.\n" "TF_Competitive_Pass" "Competitive Matchmaking Beta Pass" "TF_Competitive_Pass_Desc" "Present this pass in the Competitive Mode Beta to gain access to ranked ladder games." "TF_Competitive_RequiresPass_Title" "Beta Access Pass Required" "TF_Competitive_RequiresPass" "To play in ranked competitive modes, you must own a Competitive Matchmaking Beta Pass." "TF_Competitive_Disconnect" "The match is over. Thanks for playing!"[/quote] there's also a couple new hud textures for an "alternate" capture the flag (materials/hud/objectives_flagpanel_ico_flag_home_alt.vtf and materials/hud/objectives_flagpanel_ico_flag_moving_alt.vtf) and a string for winning by only capturing a flag once, don't know what the deal is with those

[QUOTE=1112e;48106427] uses its own ammo maybe?[/QUOTE] That was listed on patch notes though - that's not a stealth buff if it's mentioned directly by Valve.

[QUOTE=Tinker;48105981]I still think it's funny they call Borneo, [i]Borneo[/i], an "Alpine" map on the update page.[/QUOTE] [url]http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/alpine[/url]

Holy shit, I launched a fully charged Quickie Bomb and did 104 damage to a Pyro. That is really powerful!

So I can only inspect weapon if it has the new skin? [editline]meh[/editline] wow thats lame

More moon props have also been added.

If they forget to mention +1000000% reload speed on shortstop what else did they omit hnnnng

[QUOTE=_Pai;48106470]What is a stat clock? +materials/models/player/items/crafting/stat_clock.vtf CRC:00d9eea029 size:1398360 +materials/models/player/items/crafting/stat_clock_blue.vtf CRC:00142148bc size:1398360 +materials/models/player/items/crafting/stat_clock_blue_happy.vtf CRC:001ba4d421 size:22104 +materials/models/player/items/crafting/stat_clock_blue_sad.vtf CRC:00944d9986 size:22104 +materials/models/player/items/crafting/stat_clock_red_happy.vtf CRC:00838fef75 size:22104 +materials/models/player/items/crafting/stat_clock_red_sad.vtf CRC:00d694ad89 size:22104 +materials/models/player/items/crafting/stat_clock_types.vtf CRC:00465041a7 size:22104[/QUOTE] probably used on the skins

[QUOTE=ILLUMM;48106479]probably used on the skins[/QUOTE] It's the death clock for expiration date reworked to be a stat-trak strange type kill counter on your guns, it's on some of the new skins.

[QUOTE=TheDrunkenOne;48106166]Well, it's a shame Valve decided to cut out 90% of the UI rework. That's one of the things I was alluring to a few pages back. Nonetheless it's still good to see some bits made it in.[/QUOTE] What UI rework? First time I'm hearing of this. Because TF2 definitely needs a UI overhaul

Hell yeah, the old shortstop is back.

The new revolver reload is really bad, his hand just snaps into position. edit: also how are people doing this inspecting backpack items thing

[IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11945129/ShareX/2015/07/2015-07-02_23-08-31.png[/IMG] I don't think Spy's arm is ok Community Sparkles also show up in first person now, which is really distracting.

IDK if this was always there, but Australium weapons now have a gold glow on the kill feed, like how a critical kill has a red glow. EDIT: Forgot to mention it was on the kill feed

Rip contracts being broken.

Short Circuit has new sound effects, alt firing has no visual effects and a slower rate of fire
