Major Update Speculation V31: Gamechanging Edition - Games

[QUOTE=Lord Exor;50289858]Incoming Heavy nerfs and Soldier, Scout, and Demoman buffs.[/QUOTE] Similarly to how Soldier vs Demo was a war over a new weapon exclusively for one class, Spy vs Engie will be a war to see which class gets to stay in the game while the other is removed entirely

The summer update sounds like it's going to be pretty great. Hopefully Valve is able to ship everything they're working on.

If this b4nny guy is legit and not spewing shit (didn't he do that a while ago...? Or did nothing come of it?), this sounds like its gonna be an awesome update. Rebalances and fixes are my fetish

Lets hope that doesn't happen again.

Man I hope the "casual" part includes a finished version of Asteroid.

[QUOTE=usaokay;50290657]or Cactus Canyon. Both maps haven't been updated in over a year cause Valve was focused on VR.[/QUOTE] Yeah Cactus Canyon would be nice too, but I'm really hoping for Asteroid since it really needed one or two more art passes to be pretty much complete. The finished parts of the map are really up there with Hydro in terms of looks, it's a really pretty map in general.

Please sweet baby jesus on a skateboard give us new mvm maps

When you think of all the work and preparation, all the hinting and hiding of little secrets, all the hype that went around in 2012 about to-bor and mvm, its really fucking depressing to see how valve has all but abandoned mvm which honestly was a giant deal when you think about what tf2 was before and after the addition of a completely new mode of play. Recall all those little details in the patch notes and hidden secrets in maps and even stuff dating back to the engineer update [B][I]TWO YEARS PRIOR OF RELEASE[/I][/B]. I mean heck, two whole years of concocting and reviewing and testing for a whole new thing for TF2! It was all new! New models for robots, new music, new voicelines, new almost everything! MVM was supposed to be a huge friggin deal because it was so fresh! And here it lies really languishing in staleness because valve being valve created a whole new interesting thing that people liked and then [B][I]got bored with it[/I][/B]. Every time I ask myself why something isn't updated or fixed or hell even finished in any meaningful or clear way (see: cactus canyon, asteroid, mannpower being released as is, passtime, [sp]half life 3 goddammit[/sp]) the same answer comes up: valve got bored and moved on to a new toy, it used to be cs:go, then dota 2, now its hardware and novelty peripherals. I'm not even a huge MVM fan, played maybe 4 or 5 tours to completion, but damn it needs something fresh.

Quick, invest in strange professional Sun-on-a-sticks!

Honestly the Sun-on-a-Stick model looks so awful and out of place in TF2 I would be happy if they didn't try to make it better so I didn't have to see more of them in game.

56 tours into two cities here. I love mvm and I really wish it wasn't sitting on the sidelines

I really just want a freaking conclusion to the comic by now jeez.

Speaking of the comic, do you guys think they might bring back Gray Mann as a ghost like they did with Redmond and Blutarch for Halloween?

Doubt there's going to be anymore Valve event maps tbh.

[QUOTE=Doctor Hunt;50291127]Speaking of the comic, do you guys think they might bring back Gray Mann as a ghost like they did with Redmond and Blutarch for Halloween?[/QUOTE] Fuck yeah time for ghost robots

Valve are probably not doing anything with MvM because they don't know what rewards to offer for it. I mean, how much do you think people play MvM for enjoyment and how much do they play it for the rewards? I don't think people have hundreds or thousands of tours just because they're having so much fun with it.

[QUOTE=AkujiTheSniper;50291218]Fuck yeah time for ghost robots[/QUOTE] Halloween themed MvM? Seems interesting!

[QUOTE=Jhejh poT;50291679]Halloween themed MvM? Seems interesting![/QUOTE] Maybe we could have some zombies instead of robots, but still regular tanks. And make it one super long wave. Wave 666, you might call it.

[QUOTE=Doctor Hunt;50291127]Speaking of the comic, do you guys think they might bring back Gray Mann as a ghost like they did with Redmond and Blutarch for Halloween?[/QUOTE] If they're going to bring him back somehow, he'll probably be a robot of some kind.

I'm going to be a pessimist and say that the rebalances are going to be terribly misguided once again. Aka. Nerfs to heavy and buffs to yet another weapon that doesn't need them.

i wish the next part of the comic would come out soon

Spy vs Engie for summer update

[QUOTE=Thunder_Cat7;50291992]Spy vs Engie for summer update[/QUOTE] Now that I think about it, Spy vs Engie should come out (if it does come out) before the competitive matchmaking system is introduced [very unlikely], or long after it has been out. Think about it, people who want to get into competitive seriously via matchmaking will connect to only find out that their 6v6 team is just full of engies and spies... if they don't tweak class limits that is.

As a new proud owner of a Vintage Professional Killstreak Sharpened Volcano Fragment, i like the idea of rebalancing weapons.

*community complains about conch regen for 6 months* *valve proceeds to buff conch regen* yeahh suffice to say I don't have much hope for these upcoming changes

There was also the Phlog. :v:

I hope the "casual" part of the update includes the ability to use custom content on pubs.

Id rather have a revival of community ones.
