Red Faction Armageddon Promo - Games

[QUOTE=luckyg;30206230]Well seeing as today is Thursday and its the only day major updates come out for TF2[/QUOTE] And Tuesday, and Monday, and Wednesday, and Friday. Sure....the [i]only[/i] day

[QUOTE=luckyg;30206230]Well seeing as today is Thursday and its the only day major updates come out for TF2, i'm going to hope something massive is going to be release along side this, perhaps the saxxy awards final and/or new content from the STS leak? I mean, surely valve are not stupid enough to release 2 small updates in the space of one day are they? ARE THEY?!?[/QUOTE] Nope, if I counted right, the next Update is going to be the 219th or 220th. That's the only reason to me, why they should release a small update, when they know, that something more is coming.

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;30206256]And Tuesday, and Monday, and Wednesday, and Friday. Sure....the [i]only[/i] day[/QUOTE] well by "major" i mean maps, gamemodes e.t.c.

Long-live Valve!!!" That comment came from an article about the Gold Rush update. :U

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;30205996]:20bux: says it won't have a [i]proper[/i] kill icon on release.[/QUOTE] nah, Valve's been pretty good with kill icons recently. Even if they're awful like the scout sword.

[QUOTE=luckyg;30206289]well by "major" i mean maps, gamemodes e.t.c.[/QUOTE] Gold Rush update was on a Friday. Pyro update was on a Monday. Heavy update was a Tuesday. Scout update was a Tuesday. You can shut the fuck up now :v: Just because they've started a trend of updating on Thursdays doesn't mean that they're restricted to that day and that day alone.

You can [i]kindly[/i] shut the fuck up now.

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;30206751][img]http://i.imgur.com/dE2ZS.png[/img][/QUOTE] Oh man, this tension is killing me. Do you wanna just, make out right here, on top of this thread?

Whatever. This will have no value like every other fifty dollar promo so it's not like I give two shits

I am so glad I stopped caring about promos, because if I did right now I'd be spasming on the floor in an apoplectic fit with blood gushing out of my mouth.

I remember Pie Tony or someone once saying Valve told them that Thursdays are generally the days for community content. Which may be why we're so used to Thursdays.

[QUOTE=Psychopath12;30205713]or it'll go the path of RIFT and have unique stats,[/QUOTE]I sure hope not. That was a bad idea releasing it a month later. The Shogun update would be better.

[QUOTE=The Calzone;30202909]I got all of the Red Faction games plus a shitton other THQ games for that price last year during the summer deals! :v: I say we just start talking about Saints Row 2 since it's a much better game. Oh shiiit what if we got a Saints Row tie-in that would be badass.[/QUOTE] Pimp-cane shotgun. Actually I could totally get behind that for Demo.

[QUOTE=NoNameForEvil;30204643]Jesus, when will they stop? The Magicka hood was fine, but this is just getting ridiculous.[/QUOTE] Yeah, the 27th promotional hat or so crossed the line for the ridiculousness of it all!

This is weird, it didn't say anything about the hammer when on the news window Oh well, the maul is a powerjack reskin or has it's own stats?

[QUOTE=leonthefox;30208854]This is weird, it didn't say anything about the hammer when on the news window Oh well, the maul is a powerjack reskin or has it's own stats?[/QUOTE] Nobody knows, yet.

Are the first two Red Faction games worth hauling my lazy ass to Gamestop and cancelling my pre-order there and then getting it on steam instead? I could care less about the stupid TF2 weapon, I hardly even play TF2 anymore.

You know they could do a very interesting and fun update just by using community content and 0 effort from Valve for the most part Patch - Added Red Faction Armageddon Promo item - Added community styles to lots of new items - Made lots of hats paintable using community contributed paint textures - Improved the paint textures on lots of hats using contributed textures - Added new community contributed sound effects for weapons - Added community submitted voice responses None of which involves Valve having to do anything other than implement them.

If it has good stats, who cares whether it's a promo or not? Even if it's a reskin, it'll just be sought after by fans of the game and psycho traders. It's not even advertising to anyone other than the people interested in the game, considering that you can't even tell what game most of the promos are promoting without being familiar with the game or knowing about the promo beforehand. Heck, I usually forget that the Shogun Update items are promos.

I bet they get millions of things from the contribute page, so give them time to file through them.

Robin Walker said in an interview some time ago that they felt the Shutter Shades contested the TF2 style slighty too much, and was crossing the line of what they wanted. But, apparently they didn't learn anything from that, or maybe a giant spacehammer just makes more sense than Shutter Shades?

What about a Modern Warfare 3 promo I can't even fathom the reactions

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;30209784]Armageddon is not available in the UK. That is the problem.[/QUOTE] It's Homefront all over again. Community: "Please let us from UK take part too!" Robin: "Dw gais! We will figure something out, ok? Kthxbai!" Community: "Awesome, thanks!" *Nothings happens before the promo ends*

Armageddon is going to be so much worse than Guerrilla considering it takes place almost entirely in underground tunnels.

[QUOTE=smug.gif;30211115]Armageddon is going to be so much worse than Guerrilla considering it takes place almost entirely in underground tunnels.[/QUOTE] What are you talking about? There is a civilization down there, meaning buildings, machines and...dare i say it....cave ins? :v:

Never played these games.
