Major Update Speculation XXX: cp_orange_x3 confirmed!

[EmilyVasquez]

I wonder how the Grenade Launcher/Wrench/Knife inspect animations are gonna look like.

From the blog.

This is likely not our smissmass update (?), but the second gun mettle they were talking about.

[QUOTE=LZoleee;49338509]There is no way there won't be festives. Scout is holding a festive crate for a reason.[/QUOTE]

Yea, I was thinking that as well, especially since the box has lights taped on all it.

[Mort Stroodle]

[QUOTE=Oizen;49338610]I think that sapper update was more for buffing spy than nerfing engineer.

Because honestly Spy usually loses a 1v1 fight with engineer, despite being his counter class.[/QUOTE]

That's under the assumption that the spy fucked up and got seen. Spy's not supposed to outgun anybody, the idea is that you sneak up on the engi and stab him, than sap all his crap.

I hope spy does some cool knife flips and tricks.

I really hope inspecting a knife would make you do tricks with it.

Edit:oh man why

[QUOTE=Saikyo;49338557]Guys, Smissmas has not been confirmed to have been this update. Give it a day or two. It's pretty clear that the gift Scout is holding is probably one of the Winter Crates.[/QUOTE]

Mecha Engine was never marked as smissmass, but it was the smissmass update.

Not sure if it's worth mentioning as they probably just used an old template, but hey.

with his back to the wall and 5 other engies

The update page had these nice and naughy crates showed up.
In this case we don't see neither of those.

[Zannabluke]

i'll gladly take this update over our "traditional" smissmas one lol
these balance changes are pretty good

nice crate is at the bottom of the page. They didn't show a naughty or even say their names, though.

My guess is either it's a hidden feature, or a day 2 page.

[AwesomeX]

Great looking update, it's just a shame there's no talk of new festives..

[Saikyo]

[QUOTE=Punchy;49338637]Mecha Engine was never marked as smissmass, but it was the smissmass update.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, but the thing people are freaking out about are the lack of festives. It's entirely possible that they're waiting until tomorrow (or tonight) to release more details about them, if any.

They wouldn't put silly smissmas stuff in this update material if they didn't have plans to discuss that too. If it's to say that this is the smissmas update, it's poorly communicated and kind of a stupid move.

With the current game Spy doesn't even need to be seen to get caught.

He's usually already at a disadvantage because people know the spy class exists.

[Inferno564]

Valve DOES have a Record of not putting everything in the update on the Update Page...
They didn't even put all the Weapon skins on it

So it's not only a prop made for scenery?

Hey, you're the guy from the Youtube. I remember with the avatar and shit.

I'm surprised they didn't make an Engineer V. Spy update. Or even a Scout V. Soldier update. It's fucking nuts trying to rocket at those little guys only for them to beat you with a wiffle ball bat.

Maybe new festives and weapons tomorrow? I really want that Assault Cannon to get into the game

[EmilyVasquez]

I still feel like the Eviction Notice is still crap.

[quake84]

@up: I hope it's not, the festive lights around a present suggest something.. Or maybe it's Valve being trolls, idk anymore

[Punchy]

[QUOTE=Mifil;49338688]So it's not only a prop made for scenery?[/QUOTE]

The festive wrapping leads me to believe no. If it lacked the lights I would have assumed it was a prop from under the tree

I think the change doesn't affect that much after all the whole Spy vs. Engineer is about taking each other down before chaos happens.

If Engineer can't kill the Spy during the sapper, his own problem, same goes for Spy.

[Dvdgg]

Maybe we will get new weapons in Smissmass, along with the festives and cosmetics.

[sp] Also, you should check highpass once it comes out, there should be a little something hidden around [/sp]

[Makzutheamazing]

Oh hey, Landfall is a CTF map

Its been a while since we got any of those

[BordyDogue]

Phew, finally managed to get to the end of this thread, now that it's exploding with this new update.
I like some of the new weapon changes, especially the Medic and Demo ones. But the Pyro... Christ.

[Steel]

I would like a new present to use for the Nice Crate.

I was never able to figure out what Valve wrapped in 2013 and regifted in 2014 to make the present look like that.

[DaWhatTheFox]

All I would really want:

The rest look pretty generic/bland/terribad.

[LunaSkywalker]

They didn't seem to mention it on the page but aren't a few of those skins community made?
