Well, kindof. I just received this email from Robin Walker.

Hi Daniel.

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to summarise the requests of the mapping community. It’s extremely useful to get it in this format. We’ll do our best to get some of these features into TF2. Most likely, they’ll show up in bits & pieces as we get them done around the main content features we’re shipping.

Robin.

Not exactly the big enthusiastic response we were hoping for, but at least he did acknowledge the effort to try and add some of our requests. And for future reference, the organized list format is the way to go. On the plus side however; we got a reply from the lead TF2 designer that he would try to include some stuff we asked for!!! I think this calls for a little happy dance :D

in light of the last few posts by him, I'm begining to think someone much more immature has stolen redrums account...

I don't see the response as being anywhere near as dismissive as some seem to think it is. It's quite encouraging, and is about as close as a promise as anyone's going to get from Valve. Sure it would be nice if he'd hit up a few specific points so we had a better idea what's going to get addressed sooner rather than later, but that'd just be the cherry on top. What we got is still a pretty darn good sundae.

I also feel that it is far from dismissive, they basically said, "Thanks for the email and bringing these concerns to our attention, we will try to get them into future patches"
