Top Gun Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) New update: apparently equipping the Eliminating the Impossible set on the Medic changes the descriptions for each of these new items, which form a quote from a Sherlock Holmes story when put together. Oh Valve, u so tricky. Edited June 20, 2012 by Top Gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clefairy Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 "Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser." Hmm. That does bear more than a little resemblance to TF2. Maps are generally built in isolated locations, with evidence of civilization being pretty sparse outside the map boundary. And for all the light-hearted jokes and hats they've crammed in, we're ultimately shooting, stabbing, burning, pummeling, and exploding each other in-game. Carry on, Valve.

Top Gun Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 And today...banana error codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clefairy Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) And today...banana error codes. Banana error codes that eventually lead to a document from the Poopy Joe hearing, way back from the WAR! update. In addition, the error notification itself contains text in three languages: Spanish, Finnish and Welsh specifically. You are now cleared for wild speculation on Pyro's exact heritage. Reddit thread here, contribute error codes here. EDIT: The guy curating the reddit thread has presumably gone to bed, so I stitched up the last couple images myself. Couldn't get the second half to line up quite right, but it's readable. Edited June 22, 2012 by Clefairy content! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XeroZohar Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 So! Pyromania. New map with a new game type, Doomsday. DISCUSS?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 The new map looks cool, but it's fairly obvious that it exhibits reflective symmetry a la KOTH and PLR. Which is fine but I'll admit I was hoping for an asymmetrical game mode. Regardless, I'd bet money that the next TF2 mapping contest will involve Doomsday, assuming that's the name of the game mode and not the map. With any luck, tomorrow we'll get some new weapon information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 So...two-hour Doomsday session? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Well, it's a good thing I didn't bet money, since TF2maps.net is now holding a KOTH contest, of all things. Although it is sponsored by a third non-Valve party so it's probably been in the works for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clefairy Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Day 2 is upon us. Scout gets a pistol that boosts max health and negates falling damage. RJ shenanigans on the Ichi server projected to increase 30%. Also new scattergun. Less spread, also less damage and you run slower. Situational at best. AHAHAHA, an SMG with crits on kill. And any sniper rifle with reduced bodyshot damage is okay by me. It also decapitates on headshot, which is lol. Rounding out the pack are a multi-shot rocket launcher with projectile spread, and the flare gun from the previous blog post. The primary draw is knockback, which seems dumb unless the applied force is disproportionately high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 It's kind of fun that this is the first new SMG the Sniper has seen. There are definitely some interesting mechanics in there...now to wait and see which one winds up being game-breakingly OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidDrone Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I agree, unless the Scorch Shot has a stupidly high knockback value I'm not seeing the appeal. I wonder if it can still crit/minicrit on flaming targets. Someone brought up a good point: The Scout pistol negates all fall damage. Mantreads work by transferring fall damage. Mantreading a Scout with the new pistol = ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
