Major Update Speculation XXX: cp_orange_x3 confirmed!

[GuntMyFries]

Oh hey the Cremator's lets you actually see the item. For some reason it doesn't disable the grenade bodygroup, so you can't normally see the necklace at all

I actually didn't know this because I always use my Cremator's. Now I feel good about keeping that set, hahaha
I just need a fitting unusual for it at this point. A rubber glove with hearts on a church outfit... doesn't give the best impressions.

You can load up a competitive game in a local server, Load a map in the console and type "tf_competitive_mode 1"

[QUOTE=Jetamo;49841080]Escrow is not going away, no amount of complaints will make it go away. It is a necessary evil.[/QUOTE]

It may be a necessary evil but its implementation could've been implemented in a less intrusive manner.

[Saikyo]

I wouldn't have a problem with escrow if Valve actually put time and resources into improving their Steam Support quality.

Is the Mutton Mann now equippable on the Heavy? Is my dream of a TF Classic style Heavy finally attainable?

[GuntMyFries]

is my dream of Jontron Heavy finally attainable?

Both are in the menu but 9v9 is greyed out.

[Saikyo]

turning on matchmaking mode in a server (tf_competitive_mode 1 as posted above) gives a very mvm-like structure. F4 readies up and starts a timer. Can't move until timer depletes.

Game also notifies you when teammates change class.

[QUOTE=Imacreep;49841064]How do i test that version?[/QUOTE]

I meant the pro version, not the version that's in game. It's just on tf2maps.net

[Saikyo]

I think I may be crazy, but I think they improved the bot AI. Engineers are going for ammo boxes that are dropped now, snipers are strafing while aiming, Scouts are double jumping and strafing at the same time; none of which happened before.

Some comp testing going on right now with Eric Smith and some TF2 comp players.

so you're telling me the fun competitive mode isn't available?

[LunaSkywalker]

Mutton Mann is all class. More facial hair for scout.....

Edit: not Pyro or Spy though thank god

I am enjoying these new stat-clocks.

[Dat Lobo]

The new stranges count kills, but don't actually level up...

[Madrider760]

What are the new voice lines?

[Saikyo]

Finally.

Yeah they do?
I got 10 kills on mine and the popup for the gun getting to Unremarkable appeared.

[Saikyo]

Not sure if this is true, but it says you need Steam Mobile Auth to play in the beta right here. Popped up when I hit the 'search for game' option in Comp lobby.

[sombrez]

Before anyone says "fuck the mobile authenticator and fuck you valve", keep in mind that this makes it hard for cheaters or smurfs to play competitive

It would be even harder if you needed a phone number

I'm thought it would be a paywall, similar to Mann-Up mode and those "campaigns" but hey that just me.

EDIT: I meant when it gets "out of beta", either that requirement or the other way with the "Authenicator"

That's the way CS:GO is, and it still has a decent amount of hackers and smurfs.

[pepetoads]

What were some of the voice lines?

[Saikyo]

The announcer has new voice lines regarding comp stuff. I'll try to record a segment in a bit.

[Punchy]

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/eicPp4n.png[/IMG]

outlier and summary are announcer without the speaker echo, but rather her normal voice.

"outlier" seems to refer to the MVP of the match (let's see which of you deserves recognition..... none of you deserve recognition... I must say i'm impressed... etc)
