So I'm the only one who thinks that Valve has just sort of moved on a bit? I still expect updates and stuff, but just not SUPER MAJOR GAME CHANGERS as frequently as everyone else seems to.
All I see is something that's not a map or a hat, a movie we've been waiting 5 years for, a blog, and a repeat from last year.http://tf2.com/post.php?id=7254
Herpa derp.
You haven't been paying attention then. They've been working on a new game mode for like two years now. All signs point to it being added in the next major update. Whether or not the game mode ends up being any good *cough*PayloadArena*cough* is yet to be seen, but adding a new game mode is still a "big update."Originally Posted by SteveWinwood

I'm not complaining or attempting to say that their updates aren't enough for me by any means. I'm just keeping my expectations for updates this year low.
Halloween updates can go fuck themselves. I never want to play the game less than when those hit.It's been five months since the last "major" update (although I personally consider the Uber Update to be the last major one, Manniversary, Halloween, and Christmas were just UI and sparse item updates). According to TF2.com, 2008 had three major updates, 2009 had five, 2010 had six, and 2011 had six. By this time, 2011 had two major updates. 2012 currently has zero. We know that the Saxxys and Pyro updates will be this year, and there will of course be Halloween and Xmas updates again.
In short, GIMME DA UPDATE
Payload arena? Where do I sign up?!You haven't been paying attention then. They've been working on a new game mode for like two years now. All signs point to it being added in the next major update.

There are already maps like that floating around out there and it's easy to make them with the tools currently available.Payload arena? Where do I sign up?!
The new "raid mode" really seems like some sort of tower defense game ala Monday Night Combat, Dota, Dungeon Defenders etc. Honestly I would be a bit disappointed if true since there are already a multitude of games with that mechanic, so I hope they have a really interesting twist to it.
One mode I'd like to see in TF2 is something similar to conquest in Battlefield, where there are multiple cap points, but they do not go in a straight line, you can cap any one at any time and after you either capture all points or hold points for a certain amount of time, you win.

It is not great when Engineer were using frontier Justice and Ponsom 6000 on Melee Barn.Melee Barn is great.
The trick is to convince some medic on the other team to stand outside of the ring and spam amputator taunts, then equip the third degree. Get a lucky crit and kill everyone on the other team in one swing!

However, from the sounds of things, he's on the enemy team and you keep killing him. Thus, he's just pissed off at his own suckiness and is taking it out on you in the hopes that demoralizing you will make you an easier target; you can safely chuckle to yourself as you keep burning him to a crisp.
thanks guys :D i'm doing most of the things on that list. and even airblast rockets using my backburner. im crazy right? lolOriginally Posted by Kuro Madoushi
Scrub Pyro
1. Doesn't put out teammates.
2. Doesn't spy check all teammates.
3. Doesn't spy check period.
4. Doesn't switch to shotgun when enemies out of range.
5. Doesn't sacrifice self to airblast ubers away.
6. Doesn't chase spies down after they catch them.
That last one kills me especially with the pyros on GAF. It's pyros like these that listen to bad advice that give spies free reign.
IIRC, he holds it with the upside facing away from him for whatever reason.Originally Posted by Sgt.Pepper

If you look at the list of players ( http://tf2.gafserver.com/hlstats.php...layers&game=tf ) you'll see it does it for pretty much everyone. Random glitch as far as I can tell. Sometimes it's fine though.. Don't know what causes it.Originally Posted by Shadow Hog
Silly question from me, too: is there a reason HLStats thinks I'm French? Because I wasn't aware the DC metro area was in France now. Must've missed the memo.
LOL Yeef the Spaniard Bear.If you look at the list of players ( http://tf2.gafserver.com/hlstats.php...layers&game=tf ) you'll see it does it for pretty much everyone. Random glitch as far as I can tell. Sometimes it's fine though.. Don't know what causes it.
But there's always a bit of amusement when you see someone connect from a country like Ethiopia or Botswana.
Doesn't the server have one guy that it thinks is from North Korea?If you look at the list of players ( http://tf2.gafserver.com/hlstats.php...layers&game=tf ) you'll see it does it for pretty much everyone. Random glitch as far as I can tell. Sometimes it's fine though.. Don't know what causes it.
