Next TF2 Update is More Than a Fancy Hat Party

[TraderJimmy]

Eh, not gonna come out before I go to University (again), most likely.

So it affecteth me not. Unfortunately.

Bye-bye, gaming, hello 'networking'. Networking my weight in alcoholic beverages, that is. Much more boring, but goddammit I don't have my own computer. :'(

 

[TylerC]

Wow, 20 weapons? And I wish there was a way I'd find hats. I've found 1 total, and created one (besides the alien swarm parasite), and then you talk to people that have more than 1 hat for every class.

Can't wait to see what the new game mode is.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

I hope its a mode where you can create your own forts and stuff

 

[Jared]

Ohhh! Finally a bulky update! Cant wait to hear more on the new game mode =D

 

[Irridium]

A Month? So it should be out around March.

Anyway, score. This new mode sounds great.

And people wonder why people love TF2 and Valve so much. Its because when most developers say "supporting with DLC long after launch", they just put out one or two DLC stuff which is just two or three maps and charge $10 or so for it, put out a couple updates, and call it a day. Valve actually supports their games long, long after launch. By releasing shitloads of updates and free content.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

Here's for the turn based strategy mode, where you can run for say 20 feet, aim, and fire, then you're paused, and the other team get to.



Seriously, how epic are Valve with their continued support of this game? Who else has thrown this amount of content into a game about 2 years after its release. They deserve every extra sale this gets.

This. Are you an Esper? You read my mind didnt you? Get out of my head!
And is there no way to shorten Valve time?

The only way to negate Valve Time is to be a full Left 4 Dead game.

And besides, Valve Time exists for a reason, its why Team Fortress 2 is so freaking amazing!

 

[DaxStrife]

I'm kind of indifferent to this update, but if Meet the Medic or Meet the Pyro were to come out alongside it, my opinion would no doubt change.

About my feelings, too. Every class has their update but only 7 classes have their movies; it doesn't seem fair that my favorite classes haven't had their chance to humorously shine in a "Meet" video.
I'm actually hoping this will be the last update for TF2, apart from a new map now and then.
I'd really rather see them work on other games like the Left 4 Dead titles (or maybe, I dunno... HL3?).

Heresy! Begone from here!
Besides, Valve have separate teams working on Team fortress than Half life or Left 4 dead. There's only about 10 people still working on tf2, and they only work on the other games come crunch time.

 

[TheTaco007]

Cool, now UPDATE THE 360 VERSION.

 

[Lordmarkus]

So, no Xbox 360 update on the horizon then?

*Moving forward to news I care about* New gamemode? Awesome! and itemtrading? Which the fans have demanded for more than a year? Valve, you are too kind![footnote]Anyone wants a hatless Sniper for a Soldier drill saergent hat?[/footnote]

I've got the Soldier drill sergeant hat, got anything better to offer?

Got the Pickelhaube and Tough Guys Toque too, any of interest?

 

[TimeLord]

More hats!

Trading!

I love you Valve!

Sure, swap you it for the Pickelhaube.

I...uhh...Damn it! Cant argue with that. They do sure deliver, it takes some times but when it done it is done good. And those hats are taunting me in my dreams...Need more hats...

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Valve: "...Roughly a month."

What they said: "Sometime around mid-September."

What they mean: "Sometime around Q3 of 2012."

Yay! Valve time! When are we actually expecting Portal 2 to come out? [sub]Let's not even mention episode 3[/sub]

 

[hydroblitz]

... look what you did valve, you made my underused Xbox 360 cry...

 

[ben---neb]

Esper...science fiction reference, one I've heard of, book? film? Can't think...that's going to really annoy me now.

 

[martin's a madman]

Wow, make it come out in a month when I go back to school and have to work my ass off everyday to make sure I do well enough to get accepted into the course of my choosing for University.

Damn you starting grade 12!
