Team Fortress 2 'Mann vs Machine' coming August 15 - Sensationalist Headlines

Guess I'm gonna start playing Team Fortress 2 again!

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;37223308]I just sent this to my friend and this is how our conversation went. "Hey, go watch the video I just posted on Facebook." "Still don't like it." "What? Why?" "They made it like Monday Night Combat. I don't like Monday Night Combat. I just think its a bad idea all together." "Its not even out yet. This is the first they've shown of it." "I don't need to see anymore of it." I hate my friend sometimes. He has been whiny and bitchy the last three days.[/QUOTE] How is it like Monday Night Combat? (never played it) the update says Killing Floor to me instantly

[QUOTE=mr apple;37222983]I find it funny that the people in the TF2 section thought this was an arg because of a few models already in the game.[/QUOTE] Well that's exactly what it's been. For 2 years they've added hints to this update and finally had people figure out their coded jokes to get the comic revealed. [QUOTE=smurfy;37222149]AFAIK the robot heads were first seen in the Engineer Update teaser [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/xzqh3/everything_we_know_about_man_versus_machine_and/[/url][/QUOTE] [editline]14th August 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=bobsynergy;37223879]How is it like Monday Night Combat? (never played it) the update says Killing Floor to me instantly[/QUOTE] It isn't. Monday Night Combat can kind of remind you of TF2 because of the style and classes. But that's just a dumb generalization. He just thinks it's like MNC because on MNC the creeps that tries to take down the other teams defense are robots. It's a MOBA game and has no similarities to a co-op robot wave rush beyond cosmetics.

[QUOTE=Xgamer921;37221564]I wonder what the big robot is.[/QUOTE] It's Gabe ;o;

[QUOTE=DemonDog;37222175] Rather unrelated, but now I want a gamemode where it's 18 players, 9v9, only one person per class per team.[/QUOTE] Highlander, and it isn't very fun.

I only have one word to describe how I feel about this. [u][b]Yes.[/b][/u]

[QUOTE=Gubbygub;37222333]Also, no pyro, my favorite class :([/QUOTE] Maybe pyro gets a special trailer. With pyrovision and these things. Don't give up the hope!

[QUOTE=mr apple;37222983]I find it funny that the people in the TF2 section thought this was an arg because of a few models already in the game.[/QUOTE] There was way more things than just a few models

I still cant beleive its on my birthday.

[QUOTE=Xgamer921;37221564]I wonder what the big robot is.[/QUOTE] Apparently, giants. [img]http://puu.sh/VaIL[/img] Also, what's this? [img]http://puu.sh/VaIV[/img]

[QUOTE=mp3karas;37227264] Also, what's this? [img]http://puu.sh/VaIV[/img][/QUOTE] carriers?

Looks like the Carrier to me, judging by its tracks.

Heavy is fuckin' badass in there.

ENTIRE TEAM IS ROBOTS

I hope the new comic hints at some kind of in-game currency. I really don't wanna bother with trading to get the items I want.

That was an astonishing trailer. I'm officially hyped.

How can valve be doing this. Seriously looking at the update page, that's hundreds of new models, textures, sounds, thousands of lines of code. For free. Incredible.

This will actually make me play TF2 Played about thirty minutes of it after it became F2P and it was such a clusterfuck I never played it again gj valve

[QUOTE=mp3karas;37227264] Also, what's this? [img]http://puu.sh/VaIV[/img][/QUOTE] [sp]A Tank. No, really, its a tank. It was a part of a few leaks in the game's cache and some STS files.[/sp]

[QUOTE=mp3karas;37227264]Apparently, giants. Also, what's this? [img]http://puu.sh/VaIV[/img][/QUOTE] I read that in Cave Johnsons voice and strangely it sounds like something he'd say.

[QUOTE=Cassel;37227721]I hope the new comic hints at some kind of in-game currency. I really don't wanna bother with trading to get the items I want.[/QUOTE] Metal is the currency once you get into it

[QUOTE=Sir Drone;37228606]Metal is the currency once you get into it[/QUOTE] Yeah, but I still have find someone to trade it to instead of just going to the Mann Co. Store and buy the item I want.

[QUOTE=Cassel;37229333]Yeah, but I still have find someone to trade it to instead of just going to the Mann Co. Store and buy the item I want.[/QUOTE] Oh, I know what you mean. They've already implemented it and it's actually pretty widely adopted. In fact you can exchange your time for it. [editline]14th August 2012[/editline] Joking aside you should check out the [URL="http://www.tf2wh.com/"]Warehouse[/URL] if you haven't already.

HNNNNNNNGGGGGGG

This is like a new game within a game. I don't know any other company that actually creates something that is nearly new and doesn't try to make you pay for it. Call me a fanboy if you'd like, this is great.

For some reason I wasn't really able to get into TF2. However this game mode might just make me give it another go. It looks pretty damn cool

When it begins, get ready to go "Oh Crap!" because some who may not have seen the trailer will likely attack you instead of the robots. Couldn't they simply create a playable Purple team? Because HHH is purple and the Announcer has a purple suit (Blue and Red mixed), no purple player can harm another (HHH is the only purple, and any non teammate to him can can harm him. If he gets any companions, none of them can kill each other). Besides, Mann VS. Machine should consist of only one playable team (Purple, of course!) VS the AI

Dangerous idea there, fixture. If (the) "Gabe N." can control every aspect that means "he/it" can hack and use cheats as a big advantage when everybody else can't (The Computer is a Cheating Bastard and Your Rules Are not My Rules?) But... Gabe would be out of his head if he'd ever intend to "insert" his intelligence and soul into a little video game (Poor Caroline from Portal, she became evil when her morality and other feelings were incinerated). Although, if the "Gabe N." would ever be defeated, would there be a tune playing worldwide on every machine (radio, TV, MP3 Player etc.) as announcement to Gabe N.'s downfall? The photo... looks like a Giant Soldier. Dangerous!

Something completely different and not hats this time? *sigh* Reinstalling after 2 years of not playing.
