121 Update

[Geal]

They're all robots! Maybe they're "officially" releasing the TF bots.

Maybe engie gets his own personal bot that follows him around or something.

My friend was GCF searching, and claims that he found a map called update.bsp. The steam servers are too homosexual to handle my sexiness, so I cant update TF2. Can someone go check for me that he is not BSing me?

I think he is full of bullshit. I can't find any file named "update" in the GCF.

 

[PMAvers]

Or maybe bots will be getting their own skin alongside the upgrade?

 

[Grim Tuesday]

The bullshit has been confirmed. I will have to punch him tomorrow...

However, I think that I may really be on to something...

I found this in the scripts section, and dont recognize and weapons named steadycam. Anyone else?

This sounds much more plausible than "ZOMG! PRYO IS A ROBOT!"

 

[Grim Tuesday]

TFbots for CTF!

Great! The contest is over, now we can have our working bots!

I googled it and it looks like it's present in other Source games.

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Maybe its the fabled cubemap weapon?

Engineer can now build cubemaps!

 

[fubarFX]

I won't go into wild speculation about the pyro's flame thrower, but I really hope the engie's gonna get his revenge for that glove he lost

 

[Randdalf]

Cool video, though I wouldn't read too much into it. New music?

Heavy: My fists, they are made of STEEL!

[Mr.Blob]

:O Pyro Sentry!

 

[Micnax]

Engineer can now build cubemaps!

 

[Hawk]

I'm guessing one of these things:

- It's an update to the bots system, making them functional for more map types
- The Engineer can now dispense a robot version of another class so that he virtually can go join the fight while things are slow at his sentry where he is defending.

It's hard to not try to gleam hints from the video, given how Valve has on multiple occasions put upcoming weapons into their videos. And with enough collaborating hints and the "preview" nature of this video, I think Valve's trying to show us something.

Knowing valve this could just be to get us worked up about nothing. :E Valve are pro trolls hurf durf.

They better update the bots again. They were nearly OK for 5cp before one of the recent few updates and now they're reaaaaaallly retarded
half of red don't even leave spawn now, and the ones that do just stand around aimlessly

A question out of left field, but in the blog post that went along with this, there was a link to that latest [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHHsG1fTM-s"]YouTube- TF2 TOP10 FR - Avril[/nomedia] QuickAction video in French. Anyone know what map #3 was set on? Doesn't look familiar, and was curious.
