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

[QUOTE=Contra132;51373546] i was counting valve-made major updates [b][i]I[/i][/b][/QUOTE] o boi look at all that drama over there

[QUOTE=Drury;51373601]o boi look at all that drama over there[/QUOTE] No drama, just emphasis. Community updates were irrelevant to the point I was making about Valve-developed major updates (they release twice a year with six months between and have been for three years!) but because this is the Internet I don't think ICS was getting that. So I made it really, [B]really[/B] clear.

[QUOTE=Contra132;51372436]why is that? we know it's the next major valve update, and major valve updates have come out twice a year, six-or-so months apart for years now[/QUOTE] Because I dont like to get my hopes up.

I hope the next update has weapon skins again

[QUOTE=Davoc;51375609]I hope the next update has weapon skins again[/QUOTE] Since it's a new campaign, it probably will. If they do more skins I hope they adjust the unboxing rarity rate and start doing non-stock weapons.

Stock weapons have a lot of cool details to take in themselves, and weapons like the Big Kill/Australiums deserve their inspect animations. Interesting observation about the unusual black box skin, though. That and the animations are pretty much a confirmation, though they could always end up scrapping it for whatever reason.

Instead of new skins I hope they fill the traditional festive collection. I want a festive PDA most importantly, maybe rescue ranger... Some weapons could still use some festivizing. They can do both and I won't mind, but please at least add new traditional festives alongside skins. ;_;

at this point unless valve is going to release skins for just about every weapon in the game, it's pretty much confirmed that you will be able to inspect every weapon in the game with all these inspect files being found. I just hope they also improve the quality of some models like the liberty launcher, which has an incredibly blurry texture and the two back screws [B]aren't even modeled on[/B] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/PQO8s24.png[/IMG]

I've been wanting the bullets that wrap around Heavy's chest to get a much needed re-texturing since the game was released lol... Not to mention all the high quality prop textures I used to keep in my customs folder before they disabled sv_pure everything...

I'd be happy if they continued them as well as I enjoy collecting them... I will admit though I'd like skins that would +1 my sets though. If they included actual good winter/festive themed skins to a pack that looked good over the default festive weapons, who just had default weapon + lights I'd enjoy that. I'd definitely love a Strange Festive Degreaser though to go for my Pyro though.

did they really set it up so halloween end automatically?, it's the 16th here and I can't queue for halloween [editline]16th November 2016[/editline] welp, mym is back [IMG]https://s5.postimg.org/agp8veg3r/20161116015340_1.jpg[/IMG]

off-topic, but facebook wants me to add geel for some reason and considering I don't have him anywhere or anyone in common with him I'm wondering [I]how they know[/I] what can I do to stop seeing geel's smiling face in my notifications?

HOW DO THEY KNOW???

[QUOTE=Contra132;51377198]off-topic, but facebook wants me to add geel for some reason and considering I don't have him anywhere or anyone in common with him I'm wondering [I]how they know[/I] what can I do to stop seeing geel's smiling face in my notifications?[/QUOTE] Delete him from the "people you may know" tab/setting/option in Facebook or add him and ask if he can enable an option in Scrap . tf to search for weapons with the "gifted/crafted by" tag on it. On topic: Well, this halloween was uninteresting. Maybe because I wasn't able to play for reasons or the game is losing the [I]spark[/I] or Hallow's Night in TF2 is more of a "we gotta deliver something" instead of a well thought and planned, for my standards, event in conmemoration of an incredible date.

[QUOTE=Contra132;51377225]HOW DO THEY KNOW???[/QUOTE] They track all you do on the web. I've read somewhere that you have to log out from facebook and then delete the cookies before you do something else if you don't want them to know. Not 100% sure of this so take what I say with a grain of salt.

biggest question here is why you're using facebook

[QUOTE=rolfum;51377406]biggest question here is why you're using facebook[/QUOTE] because it's the largest social media website and one of the easiest to share content and talk to other people? i dunno, sounds pretty shitty to me too

Anyone know why I can't extinguish people with the Sydney Sleeper unless they're practically standing still? My guess is friendly fire isn't affected by lag compensation but that'd seem ridiculous for this mechanic

[QUOTE=Arthamus;51378013]Anyone know why I can't extinguish people with the Sydney Sleeper unless they're practically standing still? My guess is friendly fire isn't affected by lag compensation but that'd seem ridiculous for this mechanic[/QUOTE] it wouldn't surprise me one bit. the disciplinary action has the exact same problem and it's gone unfixed for 5 years, and i don't see why they'd fix it for this one mechanic on the sleeper but not that one

there will probably be an Update tonight making a normal main menu.

[QUOTE=Fluury;51378083]there will probably be an Update tonight making a normal main menu.[/QUOTE] Looks like it's automated this year [QUOTE=Nebrassy;51376844]did they really set it up so halloween end automatically?, it's the 16th here and I can't queue for halloween [editline]16th November 2016[/editline] welp, mym is back [IMG]https://s5.postimg.org/agp8veg3r/20161116015340_1.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=geel9;51378185]What's the name of the account they want you to add?[/QUOTE] Joshua Casey Coffey. Seems to be legitimately your account. I took some time to reflect on it, and I think Facebook recommended you to me because we both commented on a TF2-related article on a site that used a Facebook comment plugin. That, or Facebook is omniscient and the only way to escape its grasp is to become a hermit.

[QUOTE=GuntMyFries;51378113]Looks like it's automated this year[/QUOTE] It appears so. Cases/crates on the market still say that they yield Halloween 2016 effects though.

The Halloween playlist's back btw [IMG]http://puu.sh/sjYWU/8e5719fd7f.jpg[/IMG]
