TF2 General Chat and Update Speculation Station - One of Several Edition - Games

[QUOTE=cidra;52562322]Well, in the Expiration Date short only three of the mercs were dubbed by their original VA (scout, medic, spy) [url]https://reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/6gns5g/til_only_three_of_the_mercs_in_expiration_date/[/url][/QUOTE] The only source provided in the comment chains is Nolan North confirming on Twitter that he did the Engineer's lines for the short.

[QUOTE]The Blog is fixed again, atleast for me: [url]http://www.teamfortress.com/?tab=updates[/url][/QUOTE] its still missing the 's and instead has the black square question box

I really doubt they'd be afraid to replace voice actors in the dire scenario it was necessary. Nolan north has replaced engineer for shorts before and even the original VA's have done lines that sound little if anything like their original voices (heavy and demo come to mind)

I believe someone (Eric Smith?) could not confirm if they had Nolan do that simply because they apparently don't remember. Everyone else is voiced by their original VAs.

Maybe the question marks represent what weapons have been changed since the original balancing post? I'm probably wrong but, hey, GOTTA SPECULATE

You know things are bad when broken apostrophes on a blog have become a talking point for the game.

[video=youtube;t76xFixFZL4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t76xFixFZL4[/video] These guys are making a TF2 webseries. It looks silly but really fun to watch.

If you're interested in arena, the original developer of Arena: Respawn has come back to develop it and host a server with some alterations that dramatically improves how the mode plays, especially when the player count is low (compared to regular AR). Server info [URL="https://discord.gg/B5WKqxq"]here[/URL]. Usually the server is heavily active on the fri/sat/sun, but more recently it's also been active on weekdays. There should be an event for the server to fill up today around 6pm EST/3pm PST.

[QUOTE=hahagoni_r;52562846]Imagine if they actually played the in-game comp mode to get footage. Also, they are the best NZ players and the team doesn't even have Red Robot in it what is this[sp] /s [/sp][/QUOTE] [video]https://youtu.be/o2loFS_qJSQ[/video] Never forget.

[QUOTE=bobpineapple;52563383]My heart skips a beat every time this damn page monitor goes off[/QUOTE] isn't it better to just use RSS?, I mean you do still get notification for the news section like now but at least you don't get notified if for any reason it couldn't access the site or something breaks on it

I hope the pyro pack doubles down on the flanking ambusher playstyle of pyro instead of all the instant-swapping crit-combo stunlocker garbage

I hope the pyro pack shifts the pyro's role towards a preventive semi-support semi-offense class airblast is alread ya perfect multitool for splitting up ubers, preventing flanks, and preventing projectiles from stuffing chokes and teams. Design the rest of his toolkit around those abilities. if they were consistently useable and more potent than now I could see him being a genuinely useful pick in a lot of scenarios

[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;52563475]I hope the pyro pack doubles down on the flanking ambusher playstyle of pyro instead of all the instant-swapping crit-combo stunlocker garbage[/QUOTE] Flanking takes way too much effort to be worthwhile and isn't even an option 100% of the time in a game where you can just run up and deal 100 damage to people. Spy and stock pyro are a testament to this. You'd have to give them some kind of wild movement ability for it to possibly work.

is it wrong to still be angry at game theory over that garbage tf2 vs overwatch episode they did where they argued that tf2 was worse cause most of the cast was white males cause I still am and I'm sick of it popping up in my recommended even though I haven't touched game theory since 2014

Just went into a casual Koth_Sawmill game. Long story short: two guys yelled in ALL CAPS, trash-talked both teams. They bottom-scored. Ah, the wonders of TF2. You can have some incredible fun or an incredible can of shitfiesta.

Why is strange loose cannon so expensive? Is it from rare crate or something?

[QUOTE=VX-79;52563504] You'd have to give them some kind of wild movement ability for it to possibly work.[/QUOTE] Okay cool sounds great. That's what makes tf2 fun in the first place. I say all flare guns should allow for flare jumping, you could make one have a fast firing speed for wall jumps, maybe make it so the detonator allows airburst flare jumping.

Make sure to hit "not interested" next to the thumbnail.

Keep in mind this is the guy who gave the pope a steam key for undertale. His intentions cannot be trusted.

Less than cursory research done for both games to cash in on the release hype.

Just ignore that guy and his channel. He is not a good guy nor a bad guy, he knew how to exploit the Overwatch vs TF2 controversy. As a result, he ended up racking views, exposure, and profit. Nothing more, nothing else. OT: Currently at 195 duels won. I don't know what I will do after reaching the Silver Badge. The duel-system is so boring that trying to achieve gold sounds like a chore more than a challenge.

[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;52563551] maybe make it so the detonator allows airburst flare jumping.[/QUOTE] Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but the detonator can already flare jump mid-air using the air burst.
