[QUOTE=gta-man12345;31217089]3 rockets 3 maps 3 days until thursday VALVe loves to update on Thursdays. Gentlemen, the time has come. [I]Valve can count to 3.[/I][/QUOTE] Half Life 3 will be the last Half Life!
Looks like something out of the Fallout 3 universe..
Or, most likely, its teasing that TF2 will be the first game put on the new content delivery system. Do people only listen to things if they sound like they were made up by a man who's just dropped some bad acid and thinks government UFOs are after him?
So the new theory is that Valve is showing off that their new content is delivered "rocket fast"?
[QUOTE=Dantai;31217809]Looks like something out of the Fallout 3 universe..[/QUOTE] so thats where those bright followers crashed
poopy joe Really?

Do people only listen to things if they sound like they were made up by a man who's just dropped some bad acid and thinks government UFOs are after him?[/QUOTE] Maybe because that theory doesn't make very much sense either? They've already publicly announced the new delivery system, why would they do something like this just to announce TF2 will be the first onto it? Why make a whole new model, when they could use the oodles of rocket models they already have if it's just a generic "rockets are fast and so is our new download service" advertisement? Why call them Grockets? My guess is that it's Uber Update Pt2 adding in all that stuff we saw in the F2P trailer + More stuff. Either that or it's something with 40k somehow... as in Groks + Rockets... I dunno that's the more fanciful one.
[QUOTE=DasMatze;31208467]Chompski caused a technical error, the rocket missed it's target and flew into space instead. There it reached Wheatley's atmosphere and the rocket turned back to earth because Wheatley is so dense. The rocket crashed on 2fort, Gordon has to get some technical stuff from the Borealis and must sacrifice himself to close the portal in EP3. In Half Life 3 you will play John Freeman and kill the rest of the advisors. End of story.[/QUOTE]TF2 takes place in the late 60's - early 70's.

Uhh, they just said DOTA would be on it. Not the first. I was the one who first mentioned DOTA when they brought it up in the original announcement. Like I said, the only other relatively important information is that Gemini 10 was launched July 18, 1966, and tomorrow is the anniversary of the moon landing.

Like maybe an as-of-yet unannounced update or promo pack?
just remembered, we still have the Junkyard Justice Pack and maybe an Engineer pack. okay, new theory: the Tinkering Update. the Engineer built a rocket. it didn't end well. Classes get weapons and hats they they built themselves. I forsee the Junkyard Justice Pack and maybe the Tesla Pack and Pyro Aviation Pack
It's obviously raid mode where players will have to fight waves upon waves of aliens, you have to prevent them from destroying the redmond / blutarch's castle by pushing them all the way back to their ovale spaceship, where you then have to battle a boss, when you kill him, you win and next map cycles. The end!

You're all wrong new Kerbal Space Program hat. It's the helmet they're wearing in their little rockets that go woosh
Pyro is an alien.

I've figured this out. you do 75% less damage but for each plunger the person who's hit runs 15% slower. And a headshot blinds them.
[QUOTE=Tiagos360;31238098]Depends of where.[/QUOTE] Valve is a U.S. based company though, specifically Bellevue, Washington.
