Major Update Speculation V35 - A Distinctive Lack of Communication - Games

[QUOTE=Untailygean;51654580]Well it's a funny comic, you can't expect drama or the death of main characters.[/QUOTE] There was some pretty good drama though. TF2 can be surprisingly dramatic and serious when given a chance.

[QUOTE=jimbobjoe1234;51654688]There was some pretty good drama though. TF2 can be surprisingly dramatic and serious when given a chance.[/QUOTE] The 'story' comics have been really good at developing drama and a gripping plot, while also painting it full of dumb jokes that stay true to the soul of the characters/game.

Amazing comic, best one so far for me. But there was one panel I didn't get. [t]http://i.imgur.com/gmKPhyH.png[/t] Why did Sniper say "Aw, bloody hell"? At that point nothing went south yet as far as I can tell. And why did he decide to go all the way around to the window?

My best guess is that Sniper is annoyed at having to use a huge stick as a weapon while everyone else gets fireguns

I'm going to assume it's because Spy blew his cover by acting surprised about the weapons? thats what i got from it

He is looking at the plank while saying that

Spy and sniper were unaware of the supply drop and the plan to lure tfc sniper with the engineer disguise was ruined because there was no way tfc heavy would call back his backup plan after the main one failed.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/HBk0DJE.png[/t] i forgot how amazing the faces were

Just realized dell conagher confirmed for two real hands.

So will we ever see the TFC medic or is he just gone? [img]http://i.imgur.com/llyzKnb.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Joshii;51655257]So will we ever see the TFC medic or is he just gone? [img]http://i.imgur.com/llyzKnb.png[/img][/QUOTE] TFC's Engie is also never shown killed. The spy disguises as him, but that's no guarantee he was killed.

[QUOTE=Joshii;51655257]So will we ever see the TFC medic or is he just gone? [img]http://i.imgur.com/llyzKnb.png[/img][/QUOTE] TFC HWG did mention him when he was trying to beat the Medic into putting the life extendo into his giblets.

[QUOTE=DOCTOR LIGHT;51655538]TFC HWG did mention him when he was trying to beat the Medic into putting the life extendo into his giblets.[/QUOTE] I think he wanted the TF2 Medic to teach the TFC Engineer how to do it. Either way the plan was ridiculous because even if he got the Medic to go along with it he'd probably just tell them how to do it the wrong way. TFC Heavy and his pals were fucked the moment he killed Gray.

I hope TFC Medic turns out to be an anti-villain. While I've been OK with the TFC team being murderalized in this (mainly because it's TFC's blue team, who always looked like jerks to me because of the color scheme anyway) it also feels kinda mean spirited to only show them as assholes and in order to kill them off in horrible ways. TFC's mercs always looked a lot more punch-clock than the TF2 team anyway. [editline]11th January 2017[/editline] I mean when you consider most of the team involved in TF2 didn't work on TFC and probably haven't played it at great length it doesn't feel like a tip of the hat, it feels a bit more.. ehh.. "Wow, we're so much better now!" kinda thing, when really TFC as a game still stands up on its own as its own thing.

They're just [I]our[/I] assholes. edit: i guess we can call the TF2 mercs Team Fortress now? i just realized that that's actually their name, thus why Pauling would slip in the title like that :v:

They're more comical "haha I put baboon bits in you!" over the top unbelievable assholes. Meanwhile the TFC mercs seem like genuinely vile cunts. It's the difference between the old Joker's whole gassing people while trying to copyright fish affair and the new Joker cutting off someone's face and wearing it for funsies. One's darkly comedic, the other's just dark.

We already have [I]their[/I] photo on the Engie's update page anyway.

Far as I'm concerned only the Soldier hurts innocent people, and even then he isn't nearly as bad as anyone on the TFC team.

The Soldier doesn't act with wilful malice. He has no connection with reality and no idea the result of his actions. He just does stuff and has no idea that it has consequences. Meanwhile the TFC mercs know exactly what they're doing. Especially with the whole bloodsucking robots thing.

You're looking too far into this.

I'm just curious as to what the other teams looked like. I'm assuming one of them must be the team from the original Quake mod.
