01/27/09 TF2 Update

[martijntje]

Anybody noticed this:

I wonder what does it mean...

100th day playing gives you a tower hat?
I dont know, but I would keep an eye on the tf2 blog

 

[YM]

Nah, this one was the 106th update. See here: link

That includes beta updates, there were 9 updates before October 10 (day zero) which puts this as the 97th announced update.

 

[The Political Gamer]

Like I said: I think it has to do something with 100 updates to the game; like the 100th could be the engineer update.

 

[Engineer]

Oh, let it be true.

 

[martijntje]

I dont remember where, but it was said the next major update will not be the engineer update.

 

[Untouch]

While looking around I've noticed something.

Gravelpit Gazzette, the map on the contribute thing is Gravelpit or a map that looks very similar to gravelpit.

Might be Granary though.

Yes, this is true, Robin said that in the interview. Maybe its counting down to something BIG?

 

[martijntje]

100 new items? that would be crazy, but possible since everybody can upload there item

 

[Zeewier]

Nice all the CTF requests by me and VFIG and others (?) are included

Thanks to Eric Smith!

^^ I think I can release my contest map without any server crashing risks now (ForceFlag drop and ForceFlagReturn)

 

[VelvetFistIronGlove]

Thanks to Eric Smith!

What he said.

Also the Goldrush update is counted twice in that list, and there are two general Orange Box updates listed that didn't really effect tf2.

By my count there have been 80 tf2.com blog posts, I guess that could be a possibility as well.

Speaking of the Propaganda contest, there's a new blog post up. Mostly about cheating during the War Update, but there's also some about the Propaganda Contest.

Runners-ups *will* be posted soon.

 

[Spammish]

Thanks for that, no doubt the steam forum is going mad with talk of who's the biggest cheaters and of course Valve know this, that is why I love them

 

[Pocket]

I wonder if anyone else noticed this.

Also they still haven't fixed Double Cross. It's enough to make me suspect they don't intend to...

 

[Engineer]

ValveFail
Actually its really easy to miss these things.

[littleedge]

What's wrong with Doublecross, exactly?

 

[Mexican Apple Thief]

It's not 2fort so servers won't run it.

 

[EArkham]

What's wrong with Doublecross, exactly?

When time runs out, you still have to capture the flag on the last round (or maybe on every round, I'm not clear on if it affects all rounds or only the last before a map change). When it happens, it won't declare a win based on which team has most points.

Aaand, they're up.
