Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing - Games

[QUOTE=SediSocks;48106515][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[/QUOTE] He's just got a little itch, that's all.

So, apparently the powerjack has been nerfed. It now only heals you 25 health points after a kill. Strange, because I didn't find anything in the patch notes.

The prices of the new taunts are just offensive. The Russian dance costs £8.60 or so, which is even more expensive than the overpriced conga.

Ok so at 99% steam went "oops, content corrupt" and is now looping from 0-100% endlessly downloading 0/0 bytes in about ten minutes, and the local cache verify says everything's hunky dory. what the hell is happening

[QUOTE=chandlerj333;48106540]"Launch sequence: 1 1 1 (uh) 1"[/QUOTE] It's the small references like this that show the TF2 team still puts heart into their work.

it would seem that not all weapons physically get dropped from you when switching between dropped, some are dropped in-place and some aren't: [t]http://puu.sh/iLapg.jpg[/t] Pick-up system has an interface: [t]http://puu.sh/iLauW.jpg[/t] They also retain clip ammo count when dropped too, so take that as what you will. Stock Mini is now also a c_model: [t]http://puu.sh/iLapL.jpg[/t]

Don't know if anyone else went digging, but I found them. The four unusual particles for the guns are by themselves (as opposed to the rest of the particle effects) and come in varients: Flamethrower, Sticky Bomb Launcher, Minigun, Medi Gun, Scattergun, Pistol, SMG, Sniper Rifle, Shotgun, and Rocket Launcher. [t]http://i.imgur.com/koab8IO.gif[/t] Isotope [t]http://i.imgur.com/zvxsN1h.gif[/t] Hot (I think this is the one shown on the Rocket Launcher for the update page) [t]http://i.imgur.com/Em4Suzw.gif[/t] Energy Orb [t]http://i.imgur.com/JuVKOxY.gif[/t] Cool I don't know the actual names for the effects themselves, but this is what they look like. Far as I can tell, Cool lays over the entire gun; Energy Orb, Hot, and Isotope come out the front. Sorry for the shitty gif quality.

Hot damn is the drop from the Dalokohs ever lazy, it's just the Halloween small health kits. :v: Really hope that's a placeholder. edit: Wait, I thought the Dalokohs buffed your health to 400 now? It only goes to 350.

A comment on reddit said that uberlevel stays on exchange. Can anyone confirm?

My PC died during the Steam sales and they're releasing a great update while it's being repaired. I really hate my life right now.

I... uh don't understand how you get contract points apparently.

Wrangler knockback on self inflicted rockets for sentry jumping has been greatly nerfed. Don't know if that's intentional or if sentry knockback in terms of rockets has been nerfed overall. :(

Snowplow causes a crash to desktop for me. Nice music though

[QUOTE=Zeos;48106594]I... uh don't understand how you get contract points apparently.[/QUOTE] do the things it says on the contract it isnt registering properly right now because servers are dead

Pauling has 307 voice files. If someone doesn't beat me to it while I go eat, I'll upload them.

koth_suijin is looking really good, guys. [t]http://puu.sh/iLaSy/9f68da5a4c.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;48106623]Pauling has 307 voice files.[/QUOTE] What? Really? What are they, like voice commands or announcements with contracts or..?

[QUOTE=Tinker;48106245]So the contracts can only be completed on Valve servers - why are they trying this hard to murder community servers?[/QUOTE] That's so you can't farm contracts as easy.

You can now see Unusual effects in first person if they cross your vision (like if you have a Stormy Storm). EDIT: Even if it doesn't cross your vision, I think you can just look straight up and see it anyways. EDIT 2: As far as I know, only shows up on Storm effect?

[QUOTE=Speed Of Dark;48106645][vid]http://fat.gfycat.com/ArtisticArtisticFinch.webm[/vid] Not mine.[/QUOTE] Not sure how I feel about this. Get Sniper to pick their Medic and steal his uber...eugh.

The Kazotskiy Kick music sounds a lot like music from renewed de_train, or is it only for me?

Is TF2 more broken than a man whose face had an arrangement with the pavement? So far, looking at posts and pictures, my headache gets worse, yet I want to reinstall this bitch.

EDIT: Even if it doesn't cross your vision, I think you can just look straight up and see it anyways.[/QUOTE] I think that's a bug, as the effects persist while you're in spectate too. I can spectate a sentry for instance and it'll get sparkles for that time.

[QUOTE=CaptainDedede;48106639]What? Really? What are they, like voice commands or announcements with contracts or..?[/QUOTE] Taking a quick look it all has to do with contract confirmation (Nice work, Good job, etc) with some extra ones for Spy or something and some "super rare" lines.
