Major Update Speculation V31: Gamechanging Edition - Games

[QUOTE=ComodoreBluth;50114943]Why wouldn't Cactus Canyon not be part of it. They were both teased at the same time with the Christmas 2013 update and released as part of the same update? Seems pretty likely they would be released together. [/QUOTE] Cause atleast Asteroid fits with the Spy-Tech stuff and Engis fairly futuristic equipment

[QUOTE=Dookas;50114982]Cause atleast Asteroid fits with the Spy-Tech stuff and Engis fairly futuristic equipment[/QUOTE] And Cactus Canyon with Engineer.... things! Since he is from Texas, it fits for him.

I avoided playing Cactus Canyon and Asteroid to keep them as a surprise for when they came out. It's going to be one hell of a surprise at this rate.

[QUOTE=Magypsy;50115045]I avoided playing Cactus Canyon and Asteroid to keep them as a surprise for when they came out. It's going to be one hell of a surprise at this rate.[/QUOTE] Too bad they haven't updated either for like a year or so

[QUOTE=Chrytin;50114926]contracts, which are gameplay content[/QUOTE] So meaningless numbers going up is now "gameplay content"? I admit that I'm a sucker for meaningless numbers (which is why I even buy the passes), but I'd hesitate to call glorified (well, more like unglorified because you can complete them by just playing the game) achievements "gameplay content". [QUOTE=Chrytin;50114926]and they do offer something more than just cosmetics upon completion[/QUOTE] Well, okay, they do offer crates too. I'm not sure why that's any better, though.

[QUOTE=Magypsy;50115045]I avoided playing Cactus Canyon and Asteroid to keep them as a surprise for when they came out. It's going to be one hell of a surprise at this rate.[/QUOTE] you missed the 12+ months where asteroid had a graphical glitch that emulated a dying graphic card

[QUOTE=Hell-met;50115248]you missed the 12+ months where asteroid had a graphical glitch that emulated a dying graphic card[/QUOTE] I think that's still a bug.

So... are we just not going to get patch notes for the 10 MB update?

ended contracts + updated allfather description + some obscure strings about spy vs engi

Every time the tf2 community overhypes something it just makes the rare moment where we actually do get somewhat worthwhile content less enjoyable because you have pointlessly brought peoples expectations way higher than they should be.

[QUOTE=poptart TF2;50116703] just stop dont generate hype until you have an official confirmation directly from a reliable valve source.[/QUOTE] Quick question: you do realise that those are strings implemented in today's update, right? Otherwise: what would you consider a "valve source"?

[QUOTE=Rajikaru;50116741]"Stop speculating about major updates you guys there's no point you're getting people excited over nothing" Really?[/QUOTE] speculating is fine, but saying [B]OMG GUYS GIT HYPE SPY VS ENGIE DEFINITELY CONFIRMED WOOHOO!!!![/B] is just going to result in dissapointment. Happened with eotl, happened with invasion, happened with matchmaking etc. [editline]12th April 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Damoman;50116746]Quick question: you do realise that those are strings implemented in today's update, right? Otherwise: what would you consider a "valve source"?[/QUOTE] Someone who works at valve outright acknowledging it via social media, official tf2 blog post, or update notices. Theres been plenty of times where stuff has been implemented into the background of updates and has lead to nothing. Whether spy vs engie is going to happen or not, its better to keep your expectations in check rather than get overhyped and be dissapointed.

ok yeah, but then why would they relate the strings to spy vs engi if it wasnt related to spy vs engi

I honestly thought the spy v engy thing was scrapped ages ago and incorporated into Gun Mettle.

[QUOTE=Dookas;50114798]Holy shit it's happening!? can't wait for Summer when it comes out probably[/QUOTE] Can't wait for Summer 2017 where it still hasn't come out probably. [editline]12th April 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Croc Shock;50116812]ok yeah, but then why would they relate the strings to spy vs engi if it wasnt related to spy vs engi[/QUOTE] Remember when they put the afterburner into a promo image for Gun-Mettle? It's probably just accidental leftovers again.

[QUOTE=Oizen;50116829]I honestly thought the spy v engy thing was scrapped ages ago and incorporated into Gun Mettle.[/QUOTE] Most people did, but Valve threw us a bone (curveball?).

Oh man I hope it's actually a thing, my two fav classes getting an update would be amazing. That animation for the Engie revolver looked awesome, and another VS update would be much better than just another contract update.

spy vs engie new campaign summer 2016, with valve maps cactus canyon and asteroid + new community maps and skins, calling it

you willing to toxx it? its a risky bet

Maybe Spy will get tranquilizer

[QUOTE=Snowshoe;50117326]spy vs engie new campaign summer 2016, with valve maps cactus canyon and asteroid + new community maps and skins, calling it[/QUOTE] It really wouldn't surprise me if that were to happen. I mean, Canyon is definitely the kind of Texas-y map that'd fit for the Engie part of the update, and Asteroid could go well with the whole futuristic Spytech dealio, therefore being linked to Spy. Sure, it's a long time coming, but hey. When there's life, there's hope, right?

new buildings?

I just really want a full mini-buildings set so I can play engie on CP maps without wanting to kill myself whenever we cap a point.

A bit strange how we haven't had any cosmetic updates for a while

[QUOTE=Fluury;50118259]I just really want a full mini-buildings set so I can play engie on CP maps without wanting to kill myself whenever we cap a point.[/QUOTE] Teleporters aren't that useful there, and you can move your sentry and dispenser quite quickly with jag and RR.

[QUOTE=Fluury;50118259]I just really want a full mini-buildings set so I can play engie on CP maps without wanting to kill myself whenever we cap a point.[/QUOTE] I want a dispenser that explodes

[QUOTE=poptart TF2;50116782]happened with matchmaking[/QUOTE]no it didn't

[QUOTE=Drury;50118354]Teleporters aren't that useful there, and you can move your sentry and dispenser quite quickly with jag and RR.[/QUOTE] Eh, not really. The entire reason why Engie isn't valuable in 5CP is that he is too slow.

I'm surprised that no ones talking about MyM '16 if anything
