Ok, first things first. What's with VALVe breaking almost every one of their design rules? First it's different weapons that look fairly similar, then it's adding weapons that stun/slowdown, and now it's a night map! I mean, sure, VALVe can change their minds, and I'm okay with what they're doing, but what's the point of stating those design goals if they're not even going to enforce them?

On a different note, I find it interesting that I am most excited for new maps. Scout is my favorite class, and even while waiting for the scout update, I was most excited for the map(s). We all know how that turned out though...
i dont think they ever stated they wanted similar looking weapons. if i remember correctly, they mentioned that because they wanted to cut down on production costs, so editing a model and re-skining it was easier than making a whole new one.

if a class ABSOLUTELY needs a new weapon, its never been out of the question.

Valve time has become largely exaggerated and overblown. The only legitimate ones were the first eight or so that have been on the page for a few years.

Hm, so how many Heyo maps are left out there for Valve to release?

Oilfield and Harvest. Didn't play Oilfield because it's nowhere in rotation, but Harvest is really good for an Arena map. And popular.

Although my money for custom map goes on Swift.

I'm not joking either. It's so obvious, I don't know how you guys could have missed it. orange_x_night ends with a giant meteor killing everybody. Much like the supposed death of the dinosaurs. and the update page talks about the dinosaurs dying out. they say it was from being bow and arrowed, but that was probably just the final stragglers after the meteor.

Wow! Can't wait to try out that double payload. I'm not particularly interested in new Arena maps so much as I'm interested in the new skybox and environment settings. RAIN!

might be a good time to make a 24/7 arena server lol. Pipeline looks like shit tbh: watch the insane amounts of spam and how UNFUN it'll be.
